NBA Hall-of-Famer Isiah Thomas had a very respectful message for Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry's passing of him on the NBA's all-time scoring list. Now in 66th place, as Curry moved into 65th place during a big win over the Brooklyn Nets, Thomas had this to say via his personal Twitter account.
Congratulations @StephenCurry30 for passing me in scoring keep moving the game forward @warriors

Curry, who many think has a chance to eventually be number one, is already first on the NBA's all-time three-pointers list, doing it in almost half as the amount of time as the player who is second place on the list– NBA Hall-of-Famer Reggie Miller. That is a lot of Hall-of-Fame talk, and Curry is deserved of it as well. He will one day be joining these two in “The Hall” but for now, he is focused on getting up to 63rd on the league's all-time scoring list after he passed Chet Walker later in the game for the 64th spot.
Curry will likely get that spot in the Warriors' next game, a spot currently occupied by former NBA super scorer Jason Terry. Then later in the season, he will pass the likes of Scottie Pippen, Dale Ellis, Reggie Theus, and Dwight Howard. All of these players he is passing and the man is still only 32 years old. Will he be the NBA's all-time scorer in the end? That depends on longevity. He certainly scores at a better level than anyone of all time including Kareem Abdul-Jabaar, Karl Malone, and LeBron James. The only question is…how long he can do it for?
