Stephen Curry said he could drop 60 on “everybody,” and he’s not wrong

Stephen Curry, over the past year, has had some spectacular performances, helping his claim that he could drop 60 on “everybody.”

There’s no denying that Stephen Curry is one of the most prolific scorers in NBA history. A two-time MVP and three-time champion, Curry has cemented himself as one of this generation’s best guards, changing the way the game is playing with his elite sharpshooting.

While his per-game averages aren’t among the top echelon of players like James Harden, most also need to remember that, during the Warriors dominance, Curry was sitting the fourth quarter of many games, making those game averages even more outstanding.

After all, Curry’s career-best per 36 minutes average is higher than both Kevin Durant’s and LeBron James’. While it didn’t need to be proven, those just give some insight into how elite of a scorer Curry has been over the course of his career.

That gives Curry some leeway when he talks about himself, even in a joking manner.

The league’s only unanimous MVP, Curry didn’t hold back when talking with Javale McGee recently, saying he could drop 60 points on “everybody” when asked who he knew he could light up when he stepped on the court.

This was the quick exchange that we saw from Curry and McGee.

"JM: What team or player on that team that you know is guarding you, do you look at and be like — ‘oh yeah, I’m getting 60 tonight.’SC: Oh … Everybody."

We saw it this past postseason. While it wasn’t quite 60, Curry had historic performances in the Western Conference Finals. He averaged just 3.5 points per game shy of 40 during a clean four-game sweep of the Portland Trail Blazers.

While they eventually lost the Finals in their fifth consecutive trip, Curry kept his claim as being one of the most prolific scorers in league history. That said, while no one is disputing he could do it, Curry has yet to notch 60 points in a game throughout his decade-plus long career.

As Warrior fans, let’s hope Curry takes his claim to heart and we see a couple of electric performs next season.
