Curry's 26,711th point put him ahead of Oscar Robertson on 5 November
As of 8 November 2026, Stephen Curry ranks 17th among career scorers in NBA regular-season history. According to NBA.com, he reached that place on Thursday, 5 November 2026, at Chase Center, when he made a three-pointer with 7:03 left in the first quarter.
That shot was his 26,711th career point. Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson finished his career with 26,710, so Curry went ahead by one. Golden State beat the Miami Heat 120-100 that night, and Curry finished with 29 points, going 9 for 19 from the field and 6 for 12 from three.
The names directly above Curry on the career scoring list
NBA.com puts DeMar DeRozan of the Denver Nuggets 16th with 26,775 points, so Curry, at 26,737 after the game, trailed him by 38 on the night of 5 November. Hakeem Olajuwon is 15th with 26,946, followed by Russell Westbrook at 27,176, Elvin Hayes at 27,313 and Moses Malone at 27,490.
NBA.com puts Curry at 26,737 after that game and says he needs 210 points to pass Olajuwon, while DeRozan needs 172. The 38-point gap to DeRozan is a simple subtraction: 26,775 minus 26,737.
