The 33-year-old Curry has been playing out of his mind this season. The 6-foot-3 guard has made dropping a 30-piece seem pretty normal.

As the regular season approaches its end, Chef is looking to lead his team to the playoffs. Currently, at the 8th seed of the Western Conference, Steph and his Warriors will have to continue to fight hard to clinch a playoff spot.
