Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors was back in a big way on Tuesday night, helping his team conquer the Los Angeles Lakers on Opening Night of the 2025-26 season.
Curry was a major help with his 23 points, four assists, and three steals, but anyone paying attention to him over the years wasn’t surprised by this performance.
As pointed out by StatMuse, Curry has been sensational in season openers, averaging 21.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 6.4 assists, and 2.0 steals.
He is the only player in the 21st century to average 20 points, five rebounds, five assists, and two steals during the first games of the season.

Because he is 37 years old, some people might expect Curry to be slowing down, but he is still one of the most energetic and effective team leaders and guards in the league.
Last year, he averaged 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 1.1 steals per game.
Curry is an iconic, legendary shooter – likely the best to ever play in the NBA – and his skills are still seen night after night.
The Warriors need Curry to perform at a high level this season because they are hoping to bring him another title before retirement.
The front office has been working to build a better roster around Curry, eager to give him more support in his 17th season.
The team got off to a good start on Tuesday night with their win over Luka Doncic and his Lakers, but everyone agrees that the months ahead could prove challenging.
The lineup is older than ever, and competition in the West has never been more intense.
Still, a lot of people believe the Warriors have what it takes, mostly because they still have Curry.
He always starts the season strong, but stays incredible and impactful all year long.
