Great players recognize great players – that's just how it works in the league. So when Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry showcased his utter greatness on the basketball court on Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers, everyone had to take a moment and acknowledge Curry's talents.

After Curry's career-night where he dropped 62 points with eight threes to torch Damian Lillard and the Blazers, the youngins had to tip their hat to the two-time MVP.

Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks retweeted a tweet from SportsCenter where they showed Curry going absolute bonkers and went all super saiyan mode on Sunday. Young, who also had the tools to be one of the league's best shooters, was calling no cap on ESPN's accurate portrayal of Curry:

Another young guard who's on his way to greatness was a witness to Steph's career performance. After the Warriors big win, Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies narrated how the best players in the league rise to the occasion. Morant explained how teammate Anthony Tolliver told him that all greats respond which was exactly what Curry did on Sunday.

Steph was absolutely lights out on Sunday as he propelled Dub Nation to their third win of the season. Curry shot 18/31 from the field and knocked down eight of his 16 attempts from distance. He also converted 18/19 from the charity stripe and added five rebounds and four assists.

With Curry going on God Mode, he didn't really need much from the rest of his team. Andrew Wiggins was the Warriors' second-leading scorer on Sunday with 21 points while Kelly Oubre, Jr added 17 points and rookie James Wiseman had 12.
