Steph Curry joined elite NBA company by\u00a0scoring his 25,000th career point\u00a0on Saturday night. However, his path into the elite scoring club is markedly different than any of the other 25 players to accomplish the feat.<\/p>\n
Curry attempted the fewest career free throws — by far — of any player to eclipse 25,000 points, further highlighting the Warriors superstar’s incredible open-play scoring ability.<\/p>\n

Curry surpassed the 25,000-point threshold with 4,355 career free-throw attempts. The only other player to score at least 25,000 career points that is remotely close to Curry’s charity-stripe efficiency is\u00a0Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Alex English, who is 23rd on the\u00a0NBA’s all-time scoring list\u00a0(25,613) and finished his career with 5,141 free-throw attempts.<\/p>\n
Curry passed the 25,000-point mark with a 3-pointer during the third quarter of the\u00a0Warriors’ 115-110 win\u00a0over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night at Chase Center.<\/p>\n
