Stephen Curry Is Setting NBA Records Left And Right

Nobody has been able to stop Stephen Curry over the last month or so and I mean nobody! In the month of April alone, Curry is averaging 40.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists and is shooting 50.3% from three-point range!

He has made 72 total threes this month, putting him just 10 made threes behind James Harden for the Most Three-Pointers made in a Single Month in NBA History. In addition, Stephen Curry now has six games this season in which he has made at least 10 three-pointers. No other player in NBA history has more than 5 games in their entire career with 10+ threes in a game! 

With Stephen Curry scoring 49 points against the Philadelphia 76ers the other night as well, Curry recorded his 5th 40-point game in the month of April, passing the late, great Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan for the most 40-point games in a month by a player age-33 or older! 

Oh, we are not done yet talking about the record Curry is setting! He has now recorded 30+ points in 11 consecutive games, which also passes Kobe Bryant for the most consecutive 30+ point games by a player age-33 or older!

Finally, as mentioned before, Curry is shooting 54.9% from the floor, 50.3% from three-point range and 90.9% from the free-throw line this month. No player in NBA history has ever recorded a 50-50-90 month, but then again, no player in NBA history has ever been like Steph Curry! 

The records and accolades speak for themselves and they are saying that Stephen Curry is not only the hottest player in the league right now, but is single-handedly leading the Warriors to a postseason berth. No other players in the league are doing this right now at the level Curry is.
