There is no doubt that Stephen Curry is the greatest player ever to have donned the iconic blue and gold for the Golden State Warriors. This season hasn’t exactly been a dream run for the Warriors, but that hasn’t slowed him down. He just racked up his 11th All-Star selection, proving once again that individual greatness shines through, no matter the team’s struggles. With that achievement, he steps into rare territory alongside legends like Michael Jordan and LeBron James.
Steph Curry just keeps rewriting the Warriors’ history books. Facing the Bucks on Monday night, he became the first player in franchise history to hit 1,000 regular-season games. That’s not just another number—it’s proof of how much he’s changed Golden State’s identity. Let’s be real, before Curry showed up, the Warriors weren’t exactly must-watch TV. Now? He’s turned them into a dynasty, and every milestone just adds to his insane legacy.
The official Warriors account had posted a tribute video, including clips of him from his rookie year to his latest game against the Bucks.“From Game 1 to 1K – what a legendary ride. The only man to play 1,000 regular-season games in a Warriors uniform is now Wardell Stephen Curry II.” they wrote in the caption.
Curry is in his year 16, yes it does seem like 1000 mores games would be doubtful for the 36-year old superstar. Or maybe LeBron and him could still be playing down the line making it to 2000 games.
He also set another record while playing against the Bucks. At 36, he’s been on an absolute tear, dropping 30 or more points in four straight games. That kind of streak? Only a select few have pulled it off at his age. We’re talking LeBron, Michael Jordan, and Karl Malone.
Curry and his Warriors will face the Mavericks and the Rockets next before he takes part in All-Star weekend, where he’s had some influence.
Stephen Curry reveals Adam Silver had asked for his opinion
The NBA is shaking things up for this year’s All-Star Game with a brand-new tournament format. Fans and players aren’t exactly thrilled, but guess who played a part in making it happen? Yep, Steph Curry.
On The TK Show with Tim Kawakami, Curry shared that during a visit to the NBA offices last summer, he unexpectedly ended up discussing the All-Star Game with Adam Silver. The commissioner had no set plan, so Curry pitched an idea—make it shorter and create scenarios that push players to compete.
His advice? Don’t be afraid to go all in on change. “It’s not a bad thing to change it up entirely and try something new, knowing you can always come back to the traditional format if whatever you decide doesn’t work,” Curry said.
The league ran with it. The new format features four teams, eight players per squad, and three total games. First team to 40 points wins each matchup.
Curry, a former All-Star Game MVP, is happy with the outcome. “It comes down to the players, whether you play or not, but I like where it’s at,” he said. “It’s going to be different, it’s going to be critiqued, and that’s kind of what you want.”
Silver also got input from other veteran All-Stars, including Andre Iguodala. He’s been vocal about fixing the game, especially after last year’s defense-free, 397-point snooze fest. Fans tuned out too—only 5.4 million watched, the second-lowest All-Star viewership ever.
