Steph Curry showcased his scoring prowess once again, delivering his second 40-point game of the season against the New Orleans Pelicans. With his 42-point explоsiоn, Curry etched his nаme in the record books, joining Karl Malone and Elgin Baylor as the players with the fourth-most 40-point games in NBA history for players aged 35 and above.

Having already recorded two 40-point games in just four games this season, Curry is poised to add several more to his tally and climb higher on the list. With three 40-point games since turning 35, Curry now trails only LeBron James, Michael Jordan, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most such games in NBA history for a player his age.

Curry is on the verge of tying Abdul-Jabbar’s record with his next 40-point game, putting him within six games of Jordan and eight games of James. Given his current pace, there is a strong possibility that Curry could surpass Jordan this season and potentially even challenge James, provided the latter isn’t adding to his own impressive record.

The start of the season has been nothing short of extraordinary for Curry, surpassing his own remarkable performances on a nightly basis. With his incredible showing against New Orleans, Curry not only added to his personal accolades but also joined the esteemed company of Malone and Baylor in the 40-point club for players aged 35 and above.
