He recorded a game-high 26 points, seven rebounds, and six assists.
Steph Curry Praises James Harden for Historic Three-Point Achievement
Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry shared his admiration for James Harden after the Clippers guard became second all-time in made three-pointers. Curry called it “special” and shared the remarkable careers they’ve both built since entering the league in 2009.
“It’s special for sure. He’s had an unbelievable run. We’ve had a lot of battles. The fact that he’s now second on the list in front of two greats we both respect, it’s pretty special. We’ll see how far we both can push it. I know we got a lot left in the tank,” Curry said.
As Harden climbs the all-time three-pointers list, Curry, the league’s leader in this category, recognizes the significance of their journey. Both Curry and Harden were top picks in the 2009 NBA Draft. Harden then went third overall and Curry seventh, and since then, the two have redefined the art of scoring and shooting in the modern NBA.
