Stephen Curry closing in on MJ’s 30-point game record 🤯

Stephen Curry is rapidly approaching Michael Jordan’s major 30-point record after sharpshooting outburst against Timberwolves.

Stephen Curry is only TWO 30-point games away to catch Michael Jordan in impressive feat

Stephen Curry continues to amaze fans and analysts alike, even as he approaches his 37th birthday. As one of the oldest players in the NBA, Curry is still among the best guards in the league, sprinkling some vintage signature performances throughout the season. After his latest 30-point outbreak against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday, Curry is closing on Michael Jordan‘s one coveted record.

Stephen Curry’s 30-point performance against the Timberwolves marked the 37th time he has done so after turning 35 years old. With a majority of NBA stars approaching the end of their careers after turning 35, Curry has still been one of the league’s best and is now only two 30-point games away from tying Michael Jordan for the most such performances after the age of 30.

Given Curry’s shooting influence, he has often been hailed as the greatest offensive player of the modern era, perhaps even more so than Michael Jordan. While that may be debatable, his influence on the game is certainly indisputable. Known for revolutionizing the modern game with his unparalleled three-point shooting, Curry’s influence extends far beyond the stat sheet.

Stephen Curry has already set multiple records after turning 30, including surpassing Wilt Chamberlain for the most 50-point games by a player in this age bracket. He also became one of only two players to score 60 points in a game at 35 or older, alongside Kobe Bryant.

Now, he stands on the brink of matching Jordan’s record for most 30-point games post-35, further cementing his status as one of the most consistent offensive players of all time.

Stephen Curry and Warriors head to Houston for NBA Cup Quarterfinals

As Stephen Curry chases history, the Warriors will shift focus to the NBA Cup quarterfinals. After finishing the group stage with a 3-1 record and topping West Group C, the Warriors are set to face the Houston Rockets in a high-stakes matchup on December 11, at the Toyota Center in Houston.

Both Curry and teammate, Andrew Wiggins, have delivered standout performances during the Cup’s group stage. Curry dropped 37 points, including the final 12, in a thrilling victory over the Dallas Mavericks, while Wiggins scored a season-high 30 points against the New Orleans Pelicans. Their contributions have been vital to Golden State’s Cup run.

The Warriors head into Houston with a significant psychological edge. They’ve beaten the Rockets 14 consecutive times, a streak second only to the New York Knicks’ 16-game dominance over the Detroit Pistons. Earlier this season, the Warriors secured an overtime win in Houston, thanks to Jonathan Kuminga’s late-game heroics.

For Stephen Curry, the Rockets are familiar foes. Over his career, he has averaged 24.8 points against them. Especially in the latter half of his career, he has averaged 26.1 points, 6.0 assists and 5.4 rebounds in 39 games in the regular-season and playoffs against the Rockets since 2015-16. After failing to qualify for the NBA Cup knockout round last season, Curry and the Dubs certainly have a point to prove.
