In a newly confirmed historic milestone, Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors has officially surpassed the legendary Michael Jordan for the record of most games with at least 35 points after turning 30 years old in the NBA.
The Record-Holders Comparison:
94 games — Stephen Curry (and counting)
93 games — Michael Jordan
Over 85 games — Only these two players.
This is not just a number. At 37 years old, Curry is not only maintaining peak performance but also continuously redefining the limits for a guard at this age. This record was achieved in just 9 seasons since his 30th birthday (2018), whereas Michael Jordan amassed his 93 games over 9 seasons post-age 30 (1993-1998 & 2001-2003).
Why This Record Is Special:
Basketball Era: Curry achieved this in an era of tighter defense and faster pace compared to the 1990s.
Playing Style: He relies primarily on ultra-long-range three-point shooting — a skill requiring finesse and enduring stamina different from traditional rim-attacking play.
Longevity: Overcoming multiple injuries, Curry remains the irreplaceable offensive engine of the Warriors, demonstrating a rare sustained excellence.
Reaction & Significance:
This record further solidifies Curry’s “Greatest Of All Time” (GOAT) résumé, especially for the guard position. It shows that his revolutionary impact on the game extends beyond changing how people shoot, to a prolonged ability to dominate over time.
“It’s a testament to the hard work, the adaptability, and the love for the game,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr would likely say about his pupil’s milestone.
As the 2025-26 season continues, Stephen Curry is not just playing for another championship ring — he is writing new chapters in the NBA record books, one three-pointer at a time.
