Stephen Curry overcomes his dad in career points
Curtis Compton/Atlanta-Journal Constitution via AP)\\Even amid a spate of shooting trouble, Stephen Curry outdid his dad Friday.
The Warriors star surpassed his father, former Hornets guard Dell Curry, in career points with a 3-pointer early in the third quarter against the Timberwolves.
With the trey, Steph has scored 12,671 points over eight seasons in the NBA — half as long as Dell Curry’s career lasted en route to 12,670 career points.
Upon being informed of the milestone just after timeout was called, Curry smiled.
