The Golden State Warriors faced off against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night, a game where both teams needed a win to improve or hold their Western Conference standing positioning. With the Grizzlies winless since firing head coach Taylor Jenkins, a legendary performance by Steph Curry kept that true on Tuesday night.

Curry went off for Golden State, scoring 52 points to go with 10 rebounds, eight assists, and five steals in a 134-125 win. While Curry made NBA History with his performance, it most importantly bumped the Warriors up to the fifth seed in the Western Conference. As fans all around the world saw his performance, a certain NBA legend made sure to recognize his effort.

"🧑🏽‍🍳 COOKED!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥," James shared to his official Instagram account on a post by ESPN for Curry's performance.

Even though James and Curry constantly find themselves matched up in high-pressure situations, from regular season games to the NBA Finals, it's evident that the two share the utmost respect for one another. While performances like Curry's on Tuesday night are what makes the NBA special, the reality is both he and James' careers are nearing the end.
