It’s worth celebrating any time you’re alone in a category with Michael Jordan.
And that’s exactly where Steph Curry finds himself after a 49-point outburst in the Warriors’ 109-108 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night, tying Jordan for the most 40-plus point games (44) after the age of 30 in NBA history.
Curry’s explosive scoring effort is the second time this week he has eclipsed the 40-point mark against the Spurs at Frost Bank Center, after a 46-point masterpiece in Golden State’s win on Wednesday night.
The Warriors superstar was lights out from deep, even draining a triple over 7-foot-4 Spurs big man Victor Wembenyama.

Curry was on the money from downtown all game, but caught fire in particular during a 17-point barrage in the third quarter.
His excellence wasn’t limited to the perimeter, as Curry hit an unfathomable and-1 floater that you’d have to see to believe.
Friday is Curry’s third 40-point game of the 2025-26 NBA season, with the two-time MVP not showing any signs of decline in his 17th professional season.
At this rate, Curry will be standing alone sooner rather than later, but for now, any exclusive statistic shared with just Jordan is something the Warriors star can keep his head held high about.
