Against the Thunder on January 31, 2023, Curry surpassed Chamberlain with a scoop shot early in the third quarter to extend the Warriors' lead. He is now Warriors' all-time field goals leader.
Curry finished with 38 points on 12-of20 shooting from the field and 8-of-14 from three, leading the defending NBA champions to a 128-120 victory. The win took them to fifth in the Western Conference. Curry had a hilarious reaction when asked what it means to pass Chamberlain.
"It means I'm getting old. It's special, I think everybody who breaks a Wilt record feels a certain type of way, because there's certain ones that nobody is gonna touch. I'm definitely blessed to have 14 years representing dub-nation. Putting up a lot of shots, thankfully a lot of them are going in. That's pretty cool though, definitely one to celebrate," per SI.

@NickCromwell6
"He’s just picking off GSW records one-by-one. Next up: Wilt’s 100."
@BillLand:
"Anytime anybody passes Wilt it is something special."
@misterdtee:
"Huge accomplishment."
@keithpena2
"One thing we know. The @NBA wants him in the Finals every year. If you touch him it is a foul. The fix is in now. You ever notice how every big NBA star wins at least 5 titles? Curry is at 4. I am sure Adam Silver has already given the order to the refs."

Sports Brief earlier reported on Stephen Curry reacting to getting his 9th All-Star berth.
Curry made the All-Star team six straight times from 2014 to 2019. However, he fractured his hand in the 2019/2020 season playing just five games. Since returning from that injury, he has made the All-Star game.
Curry was thankful and promised to never take these recognitions for granted. He hopes there will be more to come.
