Stephen Curry 40-point games after 35

At 38 years old Stephen Curry has 16 games of 40 or more points since he turned 35. LeBron James is behind him on that list. So is Michael Jordan. A 6'2" shooting guard stacking more of those nights than either of those two is the part that refuses to make sense, and it lands at an age when most players have either called it a career or are scraping to stay in it. The old read on small guards was that the ones leaning on speed and shooting break down first, that Father Time gets to them early. Curry has spent years proving that read wrong. Defenses still get bent out of shape chasing him, the expectations around him keep getting rewritten, and the Chef is still cooking while everybody else hunts for an answer. Honestly, at this point the man is just defying the whole aging curve (and I'm here for it). #StephenCurry #LeBronJames
