Warriors' Stephen Curry jokes about dropping 60 on 'everybody' image

Thanks, Stephen Curry, for making with the trash talk during this down time for the NBA.

Curry was doing an Instagram Live chat with former Warriors teammate JaVale McGee on Friday when McGee wanted to know which opponents (player or team) give Curry the feeling he can score 60 points in a game.

Curry thought about it for a second, and then replied, much to McGee's shock, "Everybody."

"Quarantine done changed me, huh?" a laughing Curry said.

Curry, for the record, has zero career 60-point games, which the internet duly noted, but he does have six games of 50 or more, topped by the 54 he scored in a 2013 loss to the Knicks. With his shooting touch, 60 should be a semi-realistic goal. 

Fans would love to see Curry try to cook someone for 60, but games won't be happening for a while because of the coronavirus pandemic. Heck, the Warriors might not play again until the fall, if the league decides to go straight to the playoffs when action resumes. That would give Curry enough time to walk back that response — or let it breathe and let people have more fun with it.
