In his first six games, Curry truly shone, delivering a standout 44-point performance against the Minnesota Timberwolves, where he contributed with eight rebounds, six assists, and two steals. During an interview, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr drew a striking parallel between Curry's current form and his memories of playing alongside Michael Jordan. Kerr was utterly impressed by Curry's ability to dominate night after night, irrespective of the defensive tactics employed against him. He likened Curry's relentless passion, competitiveness, and desire to entertain fans to the legendary attributes of Michael Jordan. Furthermore, with 1,075 appearances under his belt, Curry has now outdone Jordan's 1,072 games played record earlier this season. The Warriors are set to host Klay Thompson and the Miami Heat in the coming Thursday night game.
