Steph Curry is officially the Golden State Warriors’ most prolific scorer.
That is after a fast start in the opening quarter against the Denver Nuggets.
Wilt Chamberlain’s franchise record of 17,783 had stood since 1964.
But it has finally been broken by Curry who scored 21 points in the first 12 minutes.
It is the latest achievement in Curry’s accomplished career, already a two-time NBA MVP and three-time NBA champion.
Warriors coach, Steve Kerr has been able to watch Curry track down the record since 2014.
And the manager spoke of the 33-year old’s transformative impact on the game of basketball.
“It’s just an incredible feat,” Kerr said before.
“Passing Wilt in anything statistically is sort of remarkable because his name is all over the record books.
“So, the fact that Steph is about to break that record is just incredible and obviously a testament to what he’s done here in his 12 years and impact he’s made.
“I don’t know if breaking that record even tells the story because what Steph Curry brings goes so far beyond points.
“It’s the impact on his teammates, the community, the organization, the style of play, just how unique he is.
“As an individual, he has changed the game, inspired all the young NBA point guards who have come up to be much better shooters.
“He has changed the game, so as awesome as this accomplishment is, passing Wilt, it’s just one of many for Steph.”
