Steph Curry, the Golden State Warriors’ guard, is a once-in-a-generation player.

Curry moved up to 36th place on the NBA’s all-time assists list, surpassing Los Angeles Lakers star Jerry West, who had 6,238 assists. Curry currently leads the fourth quarter against the Houston Rockets with five assists, so there is room for more. Curry will next pass Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday, who has 6,285 assists.

It doesn’t matter if the Warriors are struggling or hurting; they always find a way to beat the Houston Rockets. With the way things are going in the fourth quarter, they’re on track to extend their winning run to 16 games.
