Steph Curry

The Golden State Warriors floor general has built a Hall of Fame career on long-range marksmanship, but Stephen Curry's finishing package remains elite. On Christmas Day against the Dallas Mavericks, the veteran guard attacked the rim with purpose. Curry navigated through the defense, absorbed contact, and floated in a delicate layup off the glass to keep Golden State's offense humming. Though the shot itself is not one you typically see in Curry highlight reels, this shot hit a little different. This bucket gave Steph his 26,000th career point - just the 25th player in NBA history to hit that mark. The two-time MVP finished with 23 points on 6-of-18 shooting in the 2025 Christmas Day contest.
