Warriors’ Steph Curry climbed another spot on the NBA’s all-time scoring list

Stephen Curry continues to reside among some of the all-time greats in NBA history.

The Golden State Warriors legendary sharpshooter is rising up the league's all-time scoring charts quickly of late, and that included another spot climbed on Wednesday night.

Curry entered Wednesday tied with Paul Pierce, so even just one bucket pushed him ahead of the Celtics great.

As it turns out, Curry had a 27-point night in him -- 7-for-14 from the field and 4-for-10 from 3-point range.

That pushes Curry's point total to 26,424, which ranks alone in 19th place in NBA history.

Next on the list is Tim Duncan, at 26,496.

Curry actually could make a number of passes the rest of the season.

After Duncan, there are the likes of Dominique Wilkins (26,668) and Oscar Robertson (26,710).

Russell Westbrook ranks in 15th and is on the verge of passing Hakeem Olajuwon into 14th all-time.

It's certainly a special era of basketball, with Kevin Durant sixth on the list and James harden ninth (and of course LeBron James the all-time leading scorer).

DeMar DeRozan continues to climb, too, in 22nd and less than 200 points from passing John Havlicek.

Curry has done it his way, of course, the league's all-time leading 3-point shooter, and he'll continue to let it fly as he climbs higher up the charts.
