Golden State Warriors’ superstar, Steph Curry, had a remarkable night on Monday, scoring 42 points against the New Orleans Pelicans.

This performance made history, as Curry tied Karl Malone and Elgin Baylor for the fourth-most 40-point games by a player aged 35 or older in NBA history.

With two 40-point games in his first four games of the season, it’s highly likely that Curry will add more to this tally and climb even higher on the list. Now, Curry has three 40-point games since turning 35, putting him behind only LeBron James, Michael Jordan, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most such games in NBA history for a player of his age.

Curry is on track to tie Abdul-Jabbar with his next 40-point game, bringing him within six games of Michael Jordan and eight games of LeBron James. At this rate, there’s a good chance Curry could catch up to Jordan this season and possibly even James if he continues his remarkable performances. Curry’s season is off to a historic start, constantly surpassing his own incredible standards. With this sensational performance against the New Orleans Pelicans, Curry etched his name in the record books alongside Malone and Baylor for the fourth most 40-point games by a player aged 35 or older in the NBA.
