Stephen Curry is on a tear. His scorching red hot start has made every Warriors game must see TV and Sportscenter has been regularly leading with #StephGonnaSteph watch. Curry has scored over 30 six times, over 40 3 times, all while never logging over 40 minutes. Any superlative used to describe his play to open the 2015/16 season would be underselling it.
Curry isn’t the first player to go on a massive scoring binge, but the sheer efficiency of it feels unprecedented in recent history. Drawing inspiration from Jason Patt’s article on Kevin Durant’s 2013/14 scoring streak, I decided to compare Curry’s other notable scoring binges of the last 15 years.
