West, who was the model for the NBA logo and was in many ways the original prototype for Curry’s combo-guard archetype as a do-everything scoring dynamo with a sweet shot, was a legendary player for the Lakers in the 1960s and 1970s before helping build two separate dynasties in Los Angeles.

Stephen Curry got hot early and never cooled down in a 134-125 win against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday. The Golden State Warriors star dropped 52 points on a scorching hot 12-of-20 from deep, coming two three-pointers shy of matching Klay Thompson's record for threes in a single game.

The last time Stephen Curry and Golden State played in Memphis, he was held without a field goal and the Warriors lost by 51 points.
