It seems inconceivable that a player already thought of as the greatest shooter in NBA history could elevate his game even higher.<\/p>\n

Stephen Curry is doing just that.<\/p>\n

Curry extended his remarkable scoring streak Monday with 49 points to lead the Golden State Warriors to a 107-96 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. Curry has scored at least 30 points in 11 consecutive games. It's the longest such streak in league history by a player 33 or older, surpassing Kobe Bryant, who had 10 straight 30-point games in 2012.<\/p>\n

"You don't put too much pressure on yourself, you just play basketball," Curry said. "Being aggressive, obviously, but kind of letting the game come to you. For me, that looks a certain type of way, but I'm having a blast out there just playing basketball and it's obviously working."<\/p>\n
