Yesterday, NBA superstar and future Hall of Famer Stephen Curry added yet another impressive achievement to his already illustrious career. In a game against the Portland Trailblazers, Curry surpassed the legendary Michael Jordan for the most 40-plus-point games after the age of 30. According to NBA.com, Curry put up a whopping 48 points, but unfortunately, it wasn't enough to secure a win for his team, the Golden State Warriors, who fell to the Blazers with a final score of 136-131.
This marks the 45th time that Curry has reached the 40-point mark, as reported by Sports Illustrated. It also brings his total to 75 games with 40 or more points throughout his career, which puts him at ninth on the all-time list. It's an impressive feat, but it's still a ways off from the record set by Wilt Chamberlain, who achieved this feat a staggering 271 times.
In addition to Curry's record-breaking performance, his teammate Draymond Green also made history on this momentous night. In the third quarter, Green made a steal, making him the third player in Warriors history to have 1,200 steals. He trails behind Hall of Famer Chris Mullin, who has 1,360 steals, and of course, Curry, who holds the top spot with an impressive 1,574 steals in his career.
This game was just the latest in a string of impressive performances by Curry. In the Warriors' previous game on December 12, he surpassed Jordan's record for the most 35-point games after the age of 30. However, despite his 39 points and six three-pointers, the Warriors fell short against the Minnesota Timberwolves, losing with a final score of 127-120.
Although Curry, who is now 37 years old, has missed nine games this season due to injury, he continues to lead his team in scoring, averaging 29.6 points per game. He has also been incredibly efficient, shooting 48.4% from the field and an impressive 41.2% from beyond the arc. On top of that, he also contributes 3.9 assists, 1.9 steals, and 3.7 rebounds per game.
Next up for the Warriors is a game against the Phoenix Suns on December 18 in Phoenix, followed by a home game against the Suns on December 20. With a record of 13-14, the Warriors are looking to bounce back and continue their pursuit of a championship.
In related news, NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal recently revealed that Reebok may be in talks with Curry for a potential collaboration. With Curry's impressive skills and marketability, it's no surprise that brands are eager to work with him. It's just another testament to the impact and influence that Curry has had on the game of basketball and beyond.
