Steph Curry Surpasses Charles Barkley on NBA All-Time Scoring List During Warriors vs Celtics Matchup
In a remarkable moment during the Golden State Warriors’ game against the Boston Celtics, Steph Curry etched his name further into NBA history. Curry surpassed Hall of Famer Charles Barkley for the No. 30 spot on the all-time scoring list, marking a significant achievement in his career. The milestone came in the third quarter of the game, when Curry scored his 23,747th point, putting him ahead of Barkley, who had previously held the position.
What makes this achievement even more special is the backstory between the two. Over the years, Barkley has been one of Curry’s most vocal critics, especially in regard to the Golden State Warriors and their style of play. While Curry already holds a superior record with four NBA championships compared to Barkley’s zero, this new individual achievement now gives the Warriors star another reason to smile. For Curry, this is a moment of personal pride, as he not only surpasses Barkley on the list, but does so in a season where his team is performing well.

The timing of the milestone is also noteworthy, given the Warriors were facing the Celtics, a team that has had a significant role in Curry’s career, especially with their 2022 NBA Finals match-up. Curry, who secured the Finals MVP and a championship in Boston just two seasons ago, has now added this personal accomplishment to his growing list of historic achievements.
Curry’s climb up the scoring list doesn’t stop here. While he now sits at No. 30, the very next spot is occupied by Sacramento Kings forward DeMar DeRozan, who had just 13 points more than Curry entering the game. With DeRozan and the Kings also playing on Wednesday night, Curry’s ascension to No. 29 could happen sooner rather than later, depending on the outcome of both games.
This historic feat marks another chapter in Curry’s ongoing legacy, showing that not only is he one of the most dominant players in the league today, but he is continuing to build on his remarkable career with each passing game. For basketball fans and Warriors supporters, this achievement is just another reason to celebrate one of the game's greatest shooters. Curry’s journey to the top of the all-time list is far from over, and with his current form, it’s safe to say he has many more milestones to reach in the years ahead.
