Stephen Curry passes Oscar Robertson for 17th on the NBA all-time scoring list
Stephen Curry hit a first-quarter three against Miami to reach 26,711 career points and pass Oscar Robertson for 17th on the NBA all-time scoring list.
Stephen Curry keeps climbing the scoring mountain.
The Golden State Warriors star drilled a three-pointer with 7:03 left in the first quarter of Thursday's home game against the Miami Heat to score his 26,711th career point.
That basket moved him past Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson (26,710) for No. 17 on the NBA all-time scoring list.
Second jump in a week
Just six days earlier Curry scored 31 points in an Emirates NBA Cup win over the Los Angeles Lakers to pass Dominique Wilkins (26,668) for No. 18.
He now trails Denver's DeMar DeRozan (26,775) for No. 16. Both are chasing Hakeem Olajuwon (26,946) at No. 15.
Historic pace
Curry has scored at least 1,630 points in five of his last six seasons. He was limited to 43 games and 1,142 points last season because of injury.
If he approaches that 1,600-point mark again in 2026-27 he is on track to pass Russell Westbrook, Elvin Hayes and Moses Malone before the season ends.
