At 37, Curry Sets New NBA Mark for 40-Point Games After Age 30

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry continued to redefine longevity in the NBA, breaking another historic record earlier this week.

The 37-year-old guard moved past Michael Jordan for the most games with at least 40 points by a player aged 30 or older, delivering a 48-point performance to claim sole possession of the record. The outing marked Curry’s 45th career 40-point game since turning 30, surpassing Jordan’s previous total of 44.

Curry’s latest scoring display further highlighted his ability to remain among the league’s elite well into his late 30s. Mixing efficient shooting with his trademark long-range accuracy, he once again demonstrated why he is widely regarded as the greatest shooter in NBA history — and now, one of its most enduring scorers.

The record had been within reach for much of the season, with Curry drawing level with Jordan earlier in the year before breaking through with this standout performance. The achievement places him atop a rare statistical category that reflects sustained offensive dominance during a stage of a career when most players begin to see a decline.

While Golden State’s results this season have been inconsistent, Curry’s individual brilliance continues to shine. His ability to produce historic scoring nights has not only kept the Warriors competitive but has also added another chapter to an already remarkable legacy.

As the season progresses, Curry’s performances continue to fuel conversations about longevity, greatness, and where he ultimately ranks among the greatest players in NBA history.
