Stephen Curry’s standing in Warriors lore just rose a little higher in their franchise record books. The renowned shooter now holds the title as the team’s all-time assists leader after surpassing the previous record-holder, Guy Rodgers, on Monday night against the Lakers.
Rodgers, a Hall of Fame guard who played during the franchise’s Philadelphia and San Francisco eras in the 1960s, had sat atop the team’s assists list for 55 years before Curry finally passed him.
