Steph Curry put up 32 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists on route to beating the Blazers by fifteen points. That thirty-bomb moved him past Scottie Pippen’s 62nd place spot (18,940) by five points. Some fans pointed out that Curry’s favorite number versus the Blazers is 62, as that’s how many he had last time he played them and that is his rank on the all-time list as of last night. The 61st spot belongs to Dale Ellis who is about 70 points ahead of Steph.

Check the eye test as well, and it’s pretty easy to tell he’s at the top of the list. The way he gets separation is unlike anybody else in the league.

His teammates decided to poke a little fun at him, getting him a custom jersey with the number 77 on it. While Curry and Green have obviously openly supported Thompson, it’s certainly fun to see their chemistry in a place where jokes like that aren’t taken personally.
Read MoreThe biggest buzz in the NBA as of recent that didn’t involve on-the-court matters was the firing of former Warriors assistant Luke Walton from his position as head coach of the Sacramento Kings. The Kings, who have the longest active playoff drought in the league at 15 straight. If they miss the playoffs this year, they’d hold the record for longest playoff drought in NBA history.
