"If you are in the same category with Steph Curry... you are in good company," says Chris Mullin about Golden State Warriors' superstar point guard
Chris Mullin was a five-time NBA All-Star who played 13 seasons and 807 career games for the Golden State Warriors franchise. Mullin averaged 20.1 ppg in his time with the Warriors.
Speaking about Curry overtaking him as the Dubs' all-time leader in steals, Mullin only had good things to say about the 33-year-old-point guard. He said:
"Let me tell you something, if you are in the same category with Steph Curry in any area, on or off the court, you are in good company."

With this latest record against his name, Curry is now one among four players who are the all-time leaders for their respective franchises in steals, points, assists, three-pointers and games-played. The other three names to hold this distinction are Reggie Miller with the Indiana Pacers, Mike Conley with the Memphis Grizzlies and LeBron James with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The 2021-22 campaign has been a great one for Curry on the individual front. It was in this very season that he overtook Ray Allen's record of being the NBA's all-time leading three-point scorer. He also won his first All-Star game MVP in Cleveland 2022 on the back of a 50-point game that saw Curry make 16 triples, the most by a player in any kind of NBA game.
Curry now hopes to steer his Golden State Warriors to a long playoff run in the 2022 postseason. The Warriors are currently in third place in the Western Conference standings, while Steph Curry is averaging 25.6 ppg, 6.4 apg and 5.2 rpg in his 13th NBA season.
