Basketball fans are still reeling from a night that will go down in NBA history as two of the league’s greatest former MVPs, Nikola Jokić and Stephen Curry, delivered jaw-dropping performances on April 1, 2025.

In a feat that had never been seen before, both superstars scored 50+ points on the same night, rewriting the record books and leaving the basketball world in awe.

Jokić and Curry Shatter NBA History with 50+ Point Explosions on the Same Night!

The Denver Nuggets’ Nikola Jokić, a three-time MVP known for his unparalleled versatility, put on a clinic against the Minnesota Timberwolves in a double-overtime thriller. Jokić tallied an astonishing 61 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists, shooting 62% from the field (18/29 FG, 6/11 3PM, 19/24 FTM) over 53 grueling minutes.

Despite his herculean effort, the Nuggets fell just short, losing 140-139 to the Timberwolves, who were led by Anthony Edwards’ 34 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists. Edwards himself couldn’t help but marvel postgame, saying, “Nikola Jokić, bruh, oh my God… That might’ve been the best game of my life I’ve been a part of.”

Meanwhile, in Memphis, Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors’ two-time MVP and long-range sharpshooting legend, was busy torching the Grizzlies. Curry dropped 52 points, including 12 three-pointers, in a 134-125 victory that propelled the Warriors past Memphis into fifth place in the Western Conference.

Curry’s performance was a masterclass in shooting, as he went 11-of-16 by halftime, including 8-of-10 from deep. Warriors coach Steve Kerr called it “incredible,” noting, “Fifty-two points with people draped all over him, all game long… You get a real sense of the magnitude of his talent.”

This historic night marked the first time in NBA history that multiple former MVP winners scored 50+ points on the same date, a stat that sent shockwaves through the basketball community.

Social media erupted, with fans and analysts alike buzzing about the performances. The NBA’s official X post capturing the moment garnered thousands of reactions, with users like @Viking exclaiming, “What a game!” and @randhawapkr calling it a “must-watch game.”

Jokić’s 61-point triple-double also set a new record for the most points in a triple-double in NBA history, further cementing his case in the ongoing MVP race discussions. Just days earlier, on March 29, Jokić had made headlines for a 62-foot buzzer-beater against the Jazz, joining Curry as the only players to make two 60+ foot shots in a single season.

Curry, on the other hand, added to his legacy as the league’s greatest shooter, with his 27th career game of 10+ made threes, far surpassing anyone in NBA history.

The night wasn’t without its drama. In Denver, the game’s intensity mirrored a playoff atmosphere with 21 lead changes, and the Timberwolves overcame the absence of key players like Naz Reid and Donte DiVincenzo to secure their sixth straight win over the Nuggets. In Memphis, Curry’s performance erased the memory of a previous 51-point loss to the Grizzlies, giving the Warriors a crucial edge in the standings.

As the NBA season heats up, this historic night has reignited debates about the MVP race and the legacies of Jokić and Curry. Are we witnessing the peak of two all-time greats? One thing is certain: April 1, 2025, will be remembered as the night two MVPs turned the NBA upside down. Don’t miss the highlights—watch now and join the conversation!
