In a stunning display of athletic prowess, Steph Curry has once again defied the odds, proving that age is just a number in the world of elite basketball. At 37 years old, Curry delivered a jaw-dropping performance last night, scoring 37 points on just 21 shots against the Los Angeles Lakers. His shooting efficiency was remarkable, hitting 48% from the field and nearly 93% from the free-throw line, while still maintaining a true shooting percentage of an astonishing 68%.
Curry’s clutch gene shone brightly as he scored nine crucial points in the final five minutes, including four pivotal free throws that sealed the Warriors’ victory. His offensive rating soared to 125, showcasing the immense impact he has on the game. This performance not only tied him with Michael Jordan for the most 35-plus point games at age 37 but also extended his league record for career free-throw percentage to 91.9%.
Curry’s game was not just about scoring; he also dished out six assists while maintaining a stellar assist-to-turnover ratio of three. His ability to create plays for teammates was evident as he accounted for at least 15 points through assists, all while facing relentless defensive pressure.
As if that wasn’t enough, Curry’s numbers this season are off the charts—averaging 24.6 points and 6.1 assists per game, he continues to redefine what it means to be an elite player at this stage of his career. The Golden State Warriors rely heavily on his presence, as evidenced by their offensive rating, which spikes significantly when he’s on the court.
With every dribble and shot, Curry is not just playing; he is orchestrating a masterclass in basketball that leaves fans and opponents alike in awe. His relentless pursuit of excellence and passion for the game is a reminder that true greatness knows no bounds. As the season unfolds, one thing is clear: Steph Curry remains an unstoppable force in the NBA, and the league is better for it.
