I'm just wondering, I'm not saying but wondering, ‘cause he's been consistently the best shooter his whole career. I'm wondering, is it time to put him as the best player of all time? I've played 20 years and watched 20 years before that. I've never seen a guy like him and he is doing it consistently and he has championships.

In an evenly contested game at the Chase Center, Curry recovered from failing to score any of his three-point attempts against the Portland Trail Blazers to converting 6/11 attempts in this game against the Celtics. The game also saw Klay Thompson deliver for the Dubs with 24 points, four rebounds and four assists.

The Warriors are still below the play-off spots, but with Curry firing on all cylinders, expect the Warriors to rise up the table above their current 11th position on the Western Conference standings.
