Curry 8 ‘Like Water’
Release Date: January 22, 2021
On January 3, 2021, Stephen Curry delivered a career-defining performance against the Portland Trail Blazers, responding emphatically to pre-game remarks made by Damian Lillard regarding the challenges Curry faced without Klay Thompson or Kevin Durant. Lillard suggested that Curry’s shot-making would appear more difficult without the support of his former star teammates. In Podcast hosted by Marshawn Lynch, Damian Lillard hilariously explains the story behind Curry’s 62 point outburst.
Curry responded in spectacular fashion, recording a career-high 62 points in just 36 minutes of play. His efficiency was remarkable:
18-of-31 from the field
8-of-16 from three-point range
18-of-19 from the free-throw line
Beyond the numbers, Curry’s performance served as a resounding statement, proving his ability to dominate as the focal point of the Warriors’ offense. His relentless scoring and dynamic shot-making led Golden State to a decisive victory, silencing any doubts about his capacity to lead the team single-handedly.
In recognition of this historic achievement, Curry Brand released the Curry 8 ‘Like Water’ on January 22, 2021. The colorway, featuring a royal blue upper and white side panels with a Flo outsole, symbolizes Curry’s smooth and fluid playing style—an homage to his effortless scoring ability.
This performance stands as one of the most electrifying individual displays in NBA history, reinforcing Curry’s legacy as one of the game’s all-time greats.
