Stephen Curry’s Top 5 Historic Moments of 2025
5. Leadership Recognized: NBA Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year
Following the 24-25 season, Curry was awarded the NBA Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year Award. It recognized his leadership, mentorship, and selfless play. What makes the honor even more meaningful is that it is voted on by fellow players, highlighting Curry’s exemplary impact not only on the court but also off it. Even when the team faced challenges, his calm, drama-free persona shone throughout the season. It perfectly reflected the positive role model he has become over 16 years in the NBA.
4. Scoring Explosion: 56-Point Masterclass vs Magic
Curry’s highest-scoring game of 2025 came during a win away from home against the Orlando Magic during the 24-25 season. The four-time NBA champion erupted for 56 points, his fourth-highest total in a single NBA game. The greatest shooter of all time proved exactly why he holds that title. Curry’s trademark accuracy from deep was on full display, knocking down a 51-foot buzzer beater and 12 three-pointers. This was the first of three games in 2025 in which he reached the 12-three mark, later repeating this feat in April and December. Curry impressively outscored Orlando by himself in the third, 22-21, and finished the night by tying Rick Barry and LeBron James for seventh-most 50-point games in NBA history.

He surpassed the milestone with a deep three-pointer midway through the third quarter. He then went on to finish the game with 32 points. The achievement further cemented Curry’s place among the NBA’s elite, as he now ranks 21st in the league’s all-time scoring list.
