Steph Curry passes Jerry West on the NBA rating list

With every basket, Stephen Curry is becoming increasingly more rare air.

He already has the record of all time for 3-point brands and recently nailed 4,000. Triple.

These long-term skills, along with the flexibility to modify on layups, flew into swimmers and cans of Jumpers, helped him to climb the list of NBA goal of all time.

During Curry's 52-point decimation of the Memphis Grizzlies within the southwest of Tennessee on Tuesday evening, the 37-year-old guard scored his 25,193. Point and pulled past the late Jerry West to twenty fifth place on the ladder.

“I have become a little emotionally about it because this is something special. What he is for the league, the world of basketball, for our organization when he worked here is the logo,” said Curry.

West, which was the model for the NBA logo and in some ways the unique prototype for Curry's Combo-Guard archetype was a dynamo for the dynamo with a sweet shot, was a legendary player for the Laker within the Nineteen Sixties and Nineteen Seventies before constructing two separate dynasties in Los Angeles.

After West had left the team within the early 2000s, West worked within the Warriors Front Office from 2011 to 2017.

West comprised the high -volume shooting skills of Curry and Klay Thompson and was instrumental in constructing the team's dynastroster.

His son Jonnie West is the director of the Pro staff for Golden State.

“I had to talk to him after the game and a moment for me what it meant for me, my family and the whole family in west,” said Curry.

Curry is now 75 points from the handover of Reggie Miller (25.279) for the twenty fourth place on the list.
