Steph incredibly achieves two age-defying feats in wins against Mavs, OKC originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Steph Curry truly is the greatest spectacle in sports.
The Warriors superstar dominated inside Golden State’s 120-117 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night and a spoiled longtime teammate Klay Thompson’s bay area return in Chase Center.
Curry showed off his trademark 3-point prowess and more, finishing with 37 points on 5-of-12 shooting from deep — sinking 14 of 27 total field goal attempts — over 35 minutes with a smooth nine assists, six rebounds two blocks. and theft.
What was an unforgettable night for Thompson and Golden State was, of course, a historic one for Curry, too, becoming the oldest point guard in NBA history to record back-to-back 30-point games.
Before teaching the Mavericks, Curry dropped 37 on the Oklahoma City Thunder in the The 127-116 victory of warriors on Sunday at Paycom Center.
The 36-year-old point guard is now in his league — for what seems like the trillionth time — with the pair of performances.
Curry, a 16-year veteran, does what most players his age or experience never have or can understand; however, LeBron James and Michael Jordan are literally the only exceptions. The Warriors superstar joined the two NBA legends as the only players in league history age 36 or older to record consecutive 35-point games.
There isn’t an NBA player in history who wouldn’t want to be associated with James and Jordan. The difference, however, is that Curry doesn’t have to “want” anything; he just does it.
Tuesday’s thriller evoked all kinds of tears and excitement for Thompson’s return. But by the end of the night in San Francisco, Chase Center was Curry’s playground, and the history books took note.
