The Warriors superstar admitted reaching the top 10 is something he has his eye on -- and something not far out of reach. "I wouldn't say I don't care. I do the math every once in a while," Curry told Complex's Speedy Mormon in a recent interview.
Steph Curry isn't one to chase records, but he'd be lying if he said one in particular wasn't in the back of his mind as he approaches Year 17 in the NBA.
Curry continues to creep up the NBA's all-time scoring list, passing Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Jerry West in April for the 24th spot. Of the 23 players in front of him, only four -- LeBron James (No. 1), Kevin Durant (No. 8), James Harden (No. 11) and Russell Westbrook (No. 20) -- currently are active.

**"I wouldn't say I don't care. I do the math every once in a while," Curry told Complex's Speedy Mormon in a recent interview. "Every time you catch somebody and they do the thing in the arenas like, 'Oh, congratulations, you passed Jerry West,' which was a special one for me, that's when you're like, oh, how far can I go? So I do the math. If I average 20-something \points\], two and a half seasons, I'm playing 70 games, I do that math all the time just to get in your head how long do you have to play and to what level to catch the top of that list?**
"But after I do that, I don't think about it again until the next time it happens. So it's just a fun way to keep yourself in the moment and give yourself, for a hot second, something to look forward to. But that's not why I'll keep going. It's more that I want to get to a level where we're competing and playing for championships."
