Stephen Curry continues to shock the entire planet with his immaculate scoring run. The Golden State Warriors demi-god has been shooting lights out these past few weeks, and once again, he erupted for another insane performance on Monday against Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers.
Naturally, Curry's 49-point performance had the entire basketball world buzzing. Stars around the league like Zach LaVine of the Chicago Bulls are still trying to recover after the two-time MVP knocked down 10 threes on Monday.
