Warriors star Steph Curry humbled himself after leading his team to a thrilling overtime victory over the Bucks on Thursday.
Golden State Warriors superhero Steph Curry saved the day on Thursday night and had quite the comical response to the Warriorsโ win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
In the 125-116 victory, Curry helped tie the game in regulation to force overtime. He had 16 points heading into the final two minutes of regulation โ when the game was over, he had a whopping 36.
Having just returned from injury, Curry found his shooting groove in a crucial game against the dominant Bucks as the Warriors look to earn a playoff seed in the competitive West. Curry took over at the end of the fourth quarter, racking up eight straight points, a tough 3-pointer that answered a late Milwaukee 3-pointer, and a pivotal block to keep Golden State in the game.
Then, in overtime, Curry scored nine more points and saw his team close out a much-needed victory against the team with the best record in the NBA.
After the game, Curry, visibly exhausted, was asked how he was feeling, and Curry cracked a wry smile. He told reporters that he was โjust getting old.โ
Steph Curry can feel old age creeping in after crazy performance in overtime victory over Bucks
The greatest shooter of all time will turn 35 this year, though one could hardly say itโs the end of an era. Curryโs still scoring buckets, isnโt he?
Aiming to win his fifth NBA championship, Curry battled through various injuries this past season and is currently averaging 29.8 points per game. Golden Stateโs win against Milwaukee came after three straight losses to the Dallas Mavericks, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Los Angeles Lakers, all games in which Curry scored 25 or more points but couldnโt manage to secure a dub.
After Thursdayโs narrow victory, the Warriors leapfrogged back into the sixth spot in the Western Conference with a 35-33 record. Can they make a late postseason push with old man Steph Curry at the helm?
Curry is obviously getting older โ heโs come a long way as the baby-faced assassin who scored thatย shot against OKC or lost to Cavsโ LeBron James and Kyrie Irving in the NBA Finals. Just look back and pick any one of his greatest or saddest moments. Those moments have made him who is today: a legend still playing at the highest level.
From his early seasons to his MVP campaign to now, Curryโs game has stayed the same. Donโt count the years โ count the player.
