Steph passes Jordan on all-time NBA scoring list in Warriors win originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Makeover, Michael Jordan. Steph Curry drops by.
During the Warriors’ 139-105 win Thursday over the Philadelphia 76ers at Chase Center, Curry had an outstanding performance, scoring a game-high 30 points while shooting a perfect 8-of-8 from 3-point range.
As a result, Curry, 36, one of the NBA’s best players and passed Chicago Bulls legend Jordan for the most 30-point games by a guard after turning 35, according to StatMamba.
Thursday night marked the superstar guard’s 40th appearance, trailing only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (48), Karl Malone (80) and LeBron James (107).

48 — Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
40 — Steph Curry
39 — Michael Jordan https://t.co/0BMghkQmMI— StatMamba (@StatMamba) January 3, 2025
Steph’s performance wouldn’t have been possible without his electric 19-point second half.
As it stands now, former Warrior and current Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant, who has 38 30-point games since age 35, projects to be the next active player in line for Jordan to pass.
For now, it’s Curry’s time to enjoy another achievement in the Elite League.
