Stephen Curry made his way up on the NBA's all-time scoring list following his incredible performance in the Golden State Warriors' NBA Cup win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night.

Curry is going through the 18th season of his legendary career. He has broken many records in history, cementing himself as one of the greatest to ever play the game of basketball.

While he still can, Curry has aspirations of going up in the higher ranks of the all-time scoring list. While reaching LeBron James' record is impossible, it is still possible for Curry to reach 30,000 if he remains healthy and willing to play for the next couple of years.

Going into this matchup, Curry was 19th with 26,643 points. He was behind Dominique Wilkins, who scored 26,668 regular-season points throughout his career. Curry needed 25 points to tie and 26 points to surpass the NBA legend.

Curry pulled that off in the early minutes of the fourth quarter. Of course, he achieved it with his signature 3-point shot, firing away from downtown to take over 18th place on the all-time scoring list.
