Stephen Curry – Golden State Warriors
Not only has Stephen Curry been having the best stretch of games over the course of his career, but he is currently having the best stretch-run of games possibly in NBA history! What Curry has been doing to single-handedly carry the Warriors to the play-in tournament has been insane and there is literally no way to stop him.
On the year, Curry is averaging 31.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists and is shooting 43.1% from three-point range, but this month 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 Stephen Curry!
We have basically become accustomed to seeing Steph put up insane numbers like this that we do not seem to appreciate his greatness as much as we should. Stephen Curry has changed the way the game of basketball is played worldwide and this year, he is continuing to prove why he is not only the best shooter in NBA history, but one of the All-Time greatest players in NBA history.
