"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.

"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."

Curry reacts to All-Star selection

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.
