Your Warrior Wonder from the Golden State Warriors 109-105 victory over the Boston Celtics is none other than the two-time MVP and greatest shooter of all time, Stephen Curry.

Put some respect on his name
I don’t understand why people are afraid to admit that Stephen Curry is the greatest point guard alive. Doesn’t everybody know by now how his gravity warps defenses and elevates his teammates performances at historic levels? I mean, you know Curry has been unfairly hated on when O.G. news legends feel compelled to stand up for him.
As much attention as Steph Curry gets, his stock amongst some "serious" basketball analysts seems to have dropped a bit of late. They should watch the replay from tonight. He's clutch, cool under pressure, and playing a game we haven't seen before. @StephenCurry30

Last night in Oakland, old rival Kyrie Irving and the East leading Celtics were hungry to sweep the season series from the Warriors. Boston was even gaining notoriety as the biggest threat to the Golden Empire. After a disappointing performance against the Celtics last November, Curry had plenty of motivation to exact vengeance “Unanimously” and remind Irving who is the best point guard alive. Their battle would not disappoint.
Curry vs. Kyrie is like a Millennials take on ... Isiah vs. Magic?

Curry and Irving were like two venomous cobras striking anything in their path with deadly accuracy and flair. On this night however, Curry walked away the clear winner.
Curry cool in the clutch
This game went all the way down to the wire, and Curry lit the Celtics up when it mattered most.
41 points for Steph Curry, including the biggest five of the night. Straight on 3 and then a driving layup puts GSW up five, 1:08 left.

Curry: The living legend
This guy is truly a basketball assassin. We really have to appreciate these moments of basketball brilliance while we can. There’s no telling when Curry will hang them up, but when he does, he will leave behind a legacy of Hall-of-Fame highlights just like the ones from last night.
Stephen Curry's season-high 49 points are the sixth most points he's scored in a game in his career and his second-highest point total at Oracle Arena.
