In the fierce competition in the NBA, scoring has always been a goal that players are chasing. However, as the years go by, the physical condition and skill level of the players will change, and the players who can still maintain an efficient scoring after the age of 35 are undoubtedly a precious existence. This article will delve into these legendary presences in NBA history, especially the few players represented by Stephen Curry, who are still able to score 40+ points frequently after the age of 35.
First, let's review the scoring performance of NBA players at different stages. Younger players can usually easily score 40+ points in the regular season, but as they get older, they will be challenged with both physical and technical fitness. Therefore, it is not easy for a player who can maintain an efficient scoring after the age of 35.
In NBA history, there are very few players who can score 40+ points after the age of 35, and according to statistics, there are fewer than 20 in total. And there are only a handful of players who have been able to achieve this feat multiple times, with only a handful of players such as Jordan and James on the list. Their performances not only highlighted their individual talent and perseverance, but also left a mark on the history of the NBA.
However, in recent years, a name has frequently appeared on the list of 40+ points after the age of 35, and that is the captain of the Golden State Warriors - Stephen Curry. Not only has Curry achieved this feat multiple times, but he has scored more often than most players. According to statistics, Curry has scored 40+ points 7 times after the age of 35, ranking third on the all-time list. Behind this statistic is Curry's superior skill and unmatched scoring ability.
Curry's ability to maintain a high level of scoring even after the age of 35 is inseparable from his amazing three-point shooting ability. As one of the most powerful three-point shooters in NBA history, Curry has an astonishing three-point shooting percentage and number of three-point shots. When he is hot, it is almost common to shoot 8+ three-pointers in a single game, which also provides strong support for him to score 40+ points. Statistics show that Curry has averaged 8 shots per game after scoring 40+ points in 7 games after the age of 357 three-pointers, a three-point shooting percentage of 523%。Such stats not only show Curry's scoring ability, but also confirm his dominance in the three-point field.
Regarding Curry's scoring ability and frequency, many experts believe that he is expected to challenge Jordan's record in this regard. Although there is still a certain gap, Curry's performances in recent seasons have shown that he is still in competitive form and there is room for continued improvement. Considering Curry's age and stage of his career, the odds are extremely high that he will score 40+ points multiple times in the future.
To sum up, there are not many players in NBA history who can frequently score 40+ points after the age of 35, and Curry is one of the best. His performance not only highlighted his technical prowess, but also showed the world his determination and perseverance to stay in shape late in his career. As the game progresses, we can expect Curry to continue to write his own basketball legend in the future.
