Editor's note: Stephen Curry's unprecedented NBA career has entered its 10th season, so we visited with the Warriors star to detail his Top 10 moments, and he obliged.

In Game 4 of the Warriors' first-round NBA playoff series against the Rockets in 2016, Steph Curry sustained a sprained MCL in his right knee.

He missed Game 5 against Houston and the first three games of Golden State's second-round series against the Blazers.

He returned for Game 4 in Portland, but came off the bench for the first time since March 7, 2012.

Through three quarters, he scored just 13 points on 6-for-18 overall and 0-for-9 from deep.

Curry then scored 10 points in the fourth quarter and an NBA single-game record 17 points in overtime. After his 3-pointer gave the Warriors a 123-118 lead with 1:51 remaining in OT, he famously told the crowd: "I'm here. I'm back!"

The Dubs took a 3-1 series lead by beating the Blazers, 132-125.

Watch the video above to hear Curry explain why he picked it as one of the top 10 moments of his 10-year NBA career.
