Steph Curry has passed a Hall of Famer on The NBA’s all-time scoring list.

Curry recorded his 23,747. points in the third quarter of the Warriors’ matchup with the Boston Celtics on Wednesday, passing basketball legend Charles Barkley for the No. 30 on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.

The milestone is even more exciting because Barkley’s longtime criticism of Golden State during Curry’s tenure with the team.

While Curry already had the advantage of four NBA championships to Barkley’s zero, the Warriors superstar now also has individual bragging rights over his longtime critic.

Sacramento Kings forward DeMar DeRozan entered the day just ahead of Barkley, holding the No. 29 with 23,760 points. DeRozan and the Kings battle the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night, which could make any potential passing on Curry the No. The 29th place is short-lived.

Wednesday’s career milestone is another happy Boston memory for Curry, who also secured a championship win and Finals MVP at TD Garden.
