The Chicago Bulls have a relatively boring task ahead of them with a matchup against the Sacramento Kings on Monday night, but just north of them another fan base will be celebrating the birthday of one of the most decorated players in NBA history.

The baby-faced assassin Stephen Curry turned 34 years old on Monday, March 14. The two-time MVP and three-time champion has been celebrated on social media since the early morning.

While he has already mapped out a Hall of Fame career, Curry and the Warriors are on their quest for a fourth championship with their core.

The Warriors have had a rough stretch over the past 10 games, but are currently riding the three-game winning streak. Curry and Dubs suit up tonight to play the Washington Wizards. This will be Warriors’ swiss army knife Draymond Green’s first action since early January. Curry averages 28 points in games played on his birthday, having a 4-2 record in such games.

In honor of the league’s most prolific shooter, we’re going to have fun and look back at his most electrifying moments against the Bulls to remind everyone how truly great he is. NBA content is NBA content, after all. Let’s have some fun!

5. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson Give Vintage Splash Brothers Performance (Jan. 17. 2018)

The 2017-18 Warriors were one of the most hated teams in league history. After an all-time embarrassing Finals collapse, the 73-9 Warriors added Kevin Durant to the mix and ran through the NBA and won a championship.

Each night was a musical chairs for who would fill up the stat sheet between Curry, Durant and Klay Thompson — with some nights all three deciding the drop 25 or more points. Their second matchup against the Bulls in that season was one of those games.

The Bulls started the game well, throwing length at Curry and Thompson. Lauri Markkenan was even able to make an ESPN Top-10 play on Curry, blocking his shot and hitting the ball off of Curry’s head.

After that, though, it was all Warriors. Curry exploded for 30 points, hitting six threes while finding Thompson on five of his seven threes, and grabbing nine rebounds. Domination.
