Steph achieves another remarkable milestone in Warriors' victory over Kings as reported on NBC Sports Bay Area

Now in his 16th NBA season, Steph Curry keeps entering more and more rarified air.

With 20 points in the Warriors 132-108 win over the Sacramento Kings on Friday night, the star guard reached yet another impressive milestone in his illustrious career.

Curry now has 700 games with 20 points in the NBA; he’s the 21st player overall and the first in Warriors franchise history to achieve that benchmark.

Though it was far from his splashiest outing, Curry did contribute some entertaining highlights, both as a passer and scorer.

After the game, Golden State coach Steve Kerr had a to-the-point reaction to hearing of Curry’s achievement.

“That’s pretty impressive,” Kerr remarked with his typical dry humor.

The former NBA veteran then was asked how many 20-point games he had in his own 15-year NBA career.

Kerr’s immediate guess was four, with another tinge of sarcasm (the actual number was five, so not far off).

It might have been a self-deprecating jab at himself, but Kerr’s comment does help illustrate the magnitude of this Curry record. The NBA’s all-time record-holder in 3-point percentage could only muster five 20-point games, yet Curry now has recorded 140 times that figure.

And there should be plenty more to come.
