So much so that he did a hand gesture of \u20182\u2019 and \u20183\u2019 after hitting the 40-point mark, signifying that he had equalled the G.O.A.T., Michael Jordan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVery aware,\u201d Curry said of the record, via NBC Sports Bay Area. \u201cI did it backwards, though. It\u2019s the second time I\u2019ve done that. But yeah, I was aware of it for sure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t know I was one away until last game and then obviously was asked about it, and then when I got over that number \u2013 that\u2019s pretty cool, just from an individual accomplishment perspective. To be able to be in that company and longevity is something that I pride myself on. So that was pretty cool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Curry also thanked his head coach, Steve Kerr, for a pre-game speech that motivated him to equal Jordan. Kerr was a teammate of Jordan on the Chicago Bulls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe rarely talks about his Chicago days,\u201d Curry said of Kerr, via ESPN\u2019s Anthony Slater.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe gave some references to how they approached their team and their identity by comparisons to a band coming together. You got your lead singers, your bass, your acoustic, electric, drummer, stagehands, guys plugging in the speaker. He said he was just above the guy plugging in the speaker.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Warriors (8-6) will next face the lowly New Orleans Pelicans (2-10) in another away fixture on Sunday night.<\/p>\n<p>Sai Mohan covers the NBA for Heavy.com.
