What's all this 'slander' Warriors' Steph Curry heard before his 62-point game? Here's an explainer.

Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry scored 62 points on Sunday night in a 137-122 victory against the Portland Trail Blazers, a career-high showing which has largely been viewed as his rebuke to recent critiques — nay, slander — of his "legacy."

Postgame, Curry more or less confirmed he was motivated to show out for his supposed haters, alluding to Michael Jordan's "And I took that personally" meme that emerged from the "The Last Dance." Then his backup arrived online: Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry gloated on Twitter about his older brother, and former NBA guard Isaiah Thomas condemned folks who refuse to recognize how much Steph has changed the game with his shooting ability.
