SAN FRANCISCO — Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry announced his return to the lineup on Friday night long before the game against the Minnesota Timberwolves even started.

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry broke a significant record held by one of the NBA's greatest of all time.

Even after almost 16 seasons in the NBA, Stephen Curry is still one of the best showmen in the league. The Golden State Warriors star is known for his dominance on the court, but he can also pull off impressive feats off the court.

Stephen Curry made both his return from injury and NBA history in the Golden State Warriors' Friday night loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Curry had a famous from-the-tunnel pregame tradition at Oracle Arena — which was essentially a very long baseline extended shot — but with the move to the Chase Center, Curry had to adapt the shot, which is now longer than the length of the court. Which is not out of his range, apparently.

The Golden State Warriors may have fallen short against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night, but Steph Curry delivered yet another viral moment for NBA fans before the game even took place. Over the years,

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark couldn't believe Steph Curry knocked down this shot before the Warriors' Friday night game.

On Friday night, Curry and the Warriors lost because he created a monster in DiVincenzo three years ago, or so the monster says.

Nearly one-third of the way into a season during which he will turn 38 - old by NBA standards and practically ancient for guards - Stephen Curry is showing few signs of advanced basketball age.
