Stephen Curry passes two legends on all-time leaderboards

In the same quarter, Curry recorded his 6,307th assist to surpass Bryant's career tally of 6,306 dimes. He would finish the game with seven assists, raising his career total to 6,308, good for No. 35 on the list. He now trails Jrue Holiday (6,333) and Norm Nixon (6,386) on the all-time leaderboard.

The milestones were likely extra special for Curry due to his reverence for Iverson and Bryant. Curry once named Bryant on his all-time starting five and explained why he grew up idolizing Iverson due to their similar physical stature. That's why Curry was grateful for his achievements Monday night.

"It's pretty special [to pass Iverson]," Curry told reporters, via HoopsHype's Mike Bohn. "He changed the game in a lot of ways — on and off the court. He made the game fun to watch...I remember in the 2001 playoff series when A.I. went crazy against [the Raptors]. Vince [Carter] missed that turnaround in front of their bench when my dad [Dell Curry] was the inbounder. So, I remember watching a lot of his games. It's cool to be in a situation where you're among those type of names."
