In a narrative that once seemed improbable, Stephen Curry has surpassed Ray Allen in total career points, cementing his legacy as one of the NBA’s all-time greats. As of January 31, 2025, Curry has amassed 24,515 points, edging past Allen’s 24,505.
When Curry entered the league as the 7th overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, skepticism loomed large. His slender frame and a history of ankle injuries led many to question his durability and potential impact. In contrast, Ray Allen was already an established star, renowned for his sharpshooting and consistency. The thought of Curry eclipsing Allen’s scoring achievements seemed far-fetched.
