Stephen Curry has been one of the most prolific scorers in NBA history. The Golden State Warriors' unparalleled range from deep and his crafty bag of tricks have led to some insane scoring outbursts in his career. When he's on fire, Curry has the ability to score from anywhere on the floor.
Thursday night's matchup between the Warriors and the Denver Nuggets showcased this scoring prowess from the superstar. Stephen Curry nailed a signature pull-up logo three in the third quarter to get his total up to 18 points in the third quarter. More importantly, though, that three officially put him in the prestigious 20,000 point club. (via NBA History)

It seems fitting that Curry's key to entering the 20,000-point club was a logo triple. The Warriors star has made a fortune off of tormenting defenses with his insane range. Curry's ability to pull up from over 30 feet out has changed how teams defended him and his team, to the point where other players have tried to mimic his deep range.
Curry and the Warriors have been struggling a bit recently, however. Slumps from Curry and Klay Thompson have hampered the team, causing them to lose a bunch of games in February. After a nice clutch win over the Nuggets, though, fans are hoping that the Dubs can regain their insane form from earlier in the season.
For now, though ,Warriors fans can bask in the greatness of Stephen Curry's three-point shooting. If all goes well, maybe Curry can sneak his way back into the MVP conversation?
