There are some times when basketball feels different and more electrifying. That is the energy Stephen Curry brought to the court against the Orlando Magic when he performed in an outstanding manner when everyone thought Warriors was going to lose. Stephen Curry scored 56 points! And this raised the bar for the Golden State Warriors, simultaneously sealing his career in the NBA.
The way he displayed his deep-range shooting and scoring skill was very impressive and his fans were amazed, positioning his opponents in a helpless place. It was because of Curry’s “vintage” skill that reminded the NBA, his fans, supporters and the basketball world in general why he is one of the greatest shooters in the game.
Unstoppable offence, circus shots, and three-pointers
From the beginning, it was evident that Curry was invested and locked in, and there was no time to waste; he did what he needed to do. He found different and creative ways to put the ball in the basket. Stephen Curry made it look easy, whether he was making step-back threes, off-the-dribble bombs, or impossible shots from far beyond the arc.
Opponents tried everything to block Curry, but it did not work, and that is what happens when you play against a great player. His natural way of playing with the ball, running fast and smoothly on the court and having sharp eyes to dodge his opponents is what got him to make this incredible NBA history achievement. At this point, there is nothing to be surprised about; Stephen Curry never disappoints.
This shooting is done in a way that only Curry can execute. Even Magic’s bench was not happy because they could see that the Golden State Warriors were winning. Additionally, by halftime, Curry had already scored 30 points, setting the stage for what would be a historic second half. For every score he made, the spectators were impressed and excited.
Shattering records and rewriting history
When it comes to writing and rewriting the history of the NBA, Stephen Curry has done just that throughout his career. Therefore, 56 points is another addition to the books of the NBA and his legendary resume. In case you did not know, this is the highest-scoring game of his career, and what a beautiful way to be placed in the category of other legends who scored 50 points or more.
Curry made NBA history by being the only player to score over 55 points in a game and make at least 10 three-pointers in a row. His ability to use his shooting to control a game is unprecedented in the league. For some players, their winnings have been based on height and size, while Curry’s is mostly based on fitness and I would like to believe consistent practice which has moulded him to be one of the best.
NBA world reactions: Legends and fans give it their due
Everyone in the NBA world on and off social media congratulated Stephen Curry and was happy for him. Legends, players and fans were left speechless after that performance. They gave him his flowers. American sports journalist and broadcaster, Rachel Nichols tweeted, “The thing is, he’s good at everything.” Some expressed that he is a “basketball magician,” and others wondered if he is human. That is how excellent this player is.
At the end of the day, we know that Curry’s career is at its peak and he has set a legacy for himself. 56 is not just good points; it marks a statement. Curry has repeatedly demonstrated that he is still at the peak of his game. This effort was a much-needed boost for the Golden State Warriors.
