It’s remarkable to believe that Golden State Warriors’ star, Stephen Curry, has already reached the age of 35. Despite his youthful appearance, he continues to dominate the NBA with his incredible skills.
On Friday night, facing the Sacramento Kings – a team he famously eliminated with a dominant 50-point Game 7 performance – Curry was back to his usual magic.
What brings out the best in Curry every time he faces the Kings remains unclear. Is it the breakneck pace of the Kings’ playstyle that encourages the Warriors to match them stride for stride? Whatever the reason may be, it’s undeniably effective for the greatest shooter the league has ever seen. Curry delivered 41 points on an ultra-efficient 14-19 shooting from the field, including 7-10 from beyond the arc, leading the way to a 122-114 win on the road.
In achieving this, Stephen Curry is closing in on a record currently held by Michael Jordan, showing that the Warriors’ star is aging gracefully. According to ESPN Stats & Info, Curry now has 33 career games in which he’s scored 40 or more points since turning 30, ranking second all-time. Jordan holds the all-time record with 44 such games.
