Warriors guard Steph Curry reaches a huge career milestone.

Stephen Curry is undeniably one of the best offensive superstars in the modern era of the NBA. His shooting ability has had a profound impact on the entire league, leading teams to adopt smaller and more positionless basketball with a strong emphasis on three-pointers.

With his exceptional offensive talents, Curry has achieved a new career milestone, placing him at 35th all-time in scoring.

22,000 Points

Scoring his 22,000th point in last night's game against the Cavaliers, Curry is now less than 200 points away from surpassing Hall of Famer Clyde Drexler, moving up to the 34th spot in the all-time leading scorer list.

In addition to this historic feat, Curry is also the 5th highest scorer among active players, trailing only Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, and the all-time leader, LeBron James.

How high Can Curry Go?

Although his career average is only 24.7 points per game, his recent seasons have seen him closer to averaging 30 points. If he continues at this recent pace and plays as many games as he typically does, it's likely that we will see Curry move up to 30th on the all-time list, surpassing five Hall of Famers along the way.

While he shows no signs of slowing down, he is 35 years old and cannot be expected to play many more years in the NBA. That being said, his main skillset can be sustained longer than that of normal NBA players, as he doesn't rely on physical attributes but rather on his shooting ability and basketball IQ.

With consistent play over the next 3 or 4 years, it's possible to see Curry climb as high as the 25th highest all-time scorer.
