Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter of all time, and his latest feat in the NBA Finals just further cements that status.
In Game 4 against the Boston Celtics, Curry exploded for 33 points through three quarters. He has also recorded five 3-pointers at that point, making him the only player with 10 NBA Finals games of at least 30 points and five triples.
According to Kirk Goldsberry of ESPN, no other player has more than two of such games in the championship round.

Even more amazing, it is already Stephen Curry's 13th 30-point game in the NBA Finals throughout his career. He is now tied with Kobe Bryant for the eighth-most on the list.

The Warriors superstar is playing in his sixth NBA Finals appearance in the last eight years, so he is really bound to break some records and make history. However, that doesn't make his accomplishments less amazing.
Considering the fact that among all the great players in the NBA no one has ever carried the offensive load while shooting like he does, it is truly impressive that Curry has been able to maintain such dominance.
So far in the 2022 NBA Finals, Curry has been the lone bright spot for the Warriors. And there is no doubt he'll be the key if the Dubs want to win another championship.
