On his way to pushing the Golden State Warriors to a Western Conference play-in tournament birth, Steph Curry earned the 2020-21 edition of the scoring title with 32 points per game on 48.2% shooting from the field. The sharpshooting Golden State point guard also led the NBA with 5.3 triples made per contest on 42.1% shooting from beyond the arc.
After Curry’s campaign that ended with him scoring 30 or more points in 21 of the final 24 games, the 11-year-veteran was named to the 2020-21 All-NBA First Team for the fourth time in his career. Adding to his first-team honors, Curry has earned three All-NBA second-team nods during his time in the association.
Following Curry’s accolades, his Golden State teammate weighed in on social media. Warriors forward Eric Paschall had a simple message on Twitter in response to Curry’s spot on the All-NBA First Team.
