He's truly a legend in the making, and it seems like he still has plenty of time to add to his incredible legacy. Recently, Stephen Curry added yet another record to his already impressive NBA resume. The Golden State Warrior has become only the second player over the age of 35 to achieve a stat line of 35 points, seven assists, eight rebounds, eight three-pointers, and one blocked shot.
According to Sports Illustrated, Curry is the first and only player to accomplish this feat since LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers did it twice, most recently just over a year ago on January 24. In that game, James recorded a stat line of 46 points, seven assists, eight rebounds, nine three-pointers, and one block. Curry's impressive stat line against the Philadelphia 76ers on January 30 was 37 points, seven assists, eight rebounds, eight three-pointers, and one blocked shot. It's worth noting that Curry, who is currently 35, will turn 36 on March 14.
Interestingly, it was actually James who was the first to achieve this specific stat line. He did so on December 29, 2021 at the age of 36, just one day before his 37th birthday. James' stats for that game were 37 points, seven assists, 13 rebounds, eight three-pointers, and two blocked shots.
It's truly remarkable that only three players have ever achieved this type of stat line. The third player to do so was James Harden of the Los Angeles Clippers, according to BBC Sport. In the game in question, the Warriors came out on top against the 76ers with a final score of 119-107.
Curry's recent performance has been nothing short of spectacular. He has scored at least 25 points in the last six games and has made six or more three-pointers in the last three contests. Despite these impressive individual performances, the Warriors are currently in 12th place in the Western Conference with a record of 20-24. However, this recent victory was a much-needed one for the team, as they had previously lost two consecutive games by just one point – a 134-133 loss to the Sacramento Kings last Thursday and a heartbreaking double-overtime loss, 145-144, to the Lakers on Saturday night.
In other news, Stephen Curry recently unveiled his new signature shoe, the Curry 11, which boasts cutting-edge technology. This achievement is just another example of how Curry continues to make history in the NBA. It's no wonder that Black Enterprise has featured him in a recent post, titled "Stephen Curry Makes NBA History Once Again."
