And there's 40. I wonder how long this can be sustained. He's at the 3rd highest per possession scoring rate in NBA history, virtually tied with 87 Jordan and 06 Kobe right around 45 and on 70% TS to boot. After tonight he might be in the lead again.

Steph is too good, if he keeps it up he will surpass Isiah Thomas's Peak season if he hasn't already.

Beast. Your team must be on point or you can't guard him.

Bigs gotta jump out if the guard gets illegally screened. Your primary guard has to be using 100% effort. He just punishes mistakes.

this guy is from another planet. no one can score so effortlessly. this guy can get you 40/5/5 like it's nothing. i feel blessed just to watch him play.

The Curry/Draymond combo on offense is just....crazy. And if Draymond keeps improving it's like wow

That last shot he hit off glass for the and 1 was incredible. Totally absorbed the contact and was still able to square up perfectly.

its just amazing to watch, pretty speechless man. Clearly, and i mean clearly, the best offensive player in the NBA.

Didn't think I'd ever say this in a league with Durant in his prime and LeBron still mostly in his prime, but right now Curry is the best player in the NBA. He's insane right now.

No doubt. They're unbeatable as a team, and he's just unreal.

He was the best last year

Man Curry just put up 46 on 60 percent shooting start up owning the league man. he is the best pg since Magic and there is not one that is close to him since Magic retired next mvp for Curyy coming up this season.

You can't guard him regardless, but yeah you gotta be perfect or lucky to even have a shot at limiting him.

I'm ready to see him play Westbrook. The contrast in styles is just insane.
Curry always looks like the game is moving slower for him than anybody else, and Russ looks like he's dragging the game into warp speed.

Is Curry higher than Durant on the All-Time list?

Prisoners of the moment...

Maybe it's possible Curry eventually surpasses Durant, but it's entirely unlikely. Curry is in the midst of his third truly elite season, Durant is in the midst of his sixth. from what I've seen most people agree that KD's MVP season was slightly better than Curry's. Curry is actually a few months older than Durant and has scored almost 7,000 fewer points, that's a huge gap to overcome. Unless Durant breaks down or Curry ends up with an insanely long prime, I'd say there's almost no shot of it happening.

Another Mvp and good ps and Curry could get on his way for being above Durant who seems to being having problems staying healthy. Were only 10 games in but Curry stat and advance stats are off chart not mention best shooter in the nba history.

Only if you completely ignore everything beyond the last three years. We're talking twice the number of elite seasons, an insane point volume edge on basically equivalent efficiency, slightly better defense, having lead equivalently exceptional offenses. Curry may be on his way to peaking higher than Durant, but it would take Durant completely breaking down and Curry having at least two more elite seasons after this one. It's far more likely that they both continue to be elite players for 4-5 more years, and Durant has far to large of a head start for Curry to overcome unless he goes on a run that has people questioning prime Curry vs Jordan.

Curry in 13 was a superstar player

30.4 PP100 on 58.9 TS% 9.2 AP100 on 2.27 AST%/TOV% Ratio, 115 ORTG 6.3 OBPM, In the RS
28.9 PP100 on 55.5 TS%, 10.0 AP100 on 2.43 AST%/TOV% Ratio, 113 ORTG, 4.9 OBPM In the PS ( while injured )

I remember a lot where advocating him for the top 5 project
