Golden State Warriors’ Steph Curry has scored more than 30 points in four of six games
The Warriors have played just five games, but already Steph Curry is hinting at a career year.The matchup was too good to be true: the Heat’s Tyler Herro defending Curry with the game still in the balance.
Curry, who will turn 35 in March, is averaging 30.8 points per game with six assists and six rebounds. That scoring average, if he keeps it up, would be second to just the 32 points Curry averaged during the 2020-21 season. Only LeBron James and Kobe Bryant in 2012-13 season have averaged at least 25/5/5 in any season played over the age of 34, according to Basketball Reference. Curry has averaged more than 26.5 points just three times during his first 13 seasons.
After the game, Curry saw a text from his trainer marveling at the play. It tracked a pattern they’d worked on all summer. Though Curry made the play look effortless, even spontaneous, plenty of hard work went into it. At age 34, Curry’s is defying his age. Something he attributes to a dedicated, ever-evolving routine to take care of his body and conditioning that goes beyond rigorous workouts. But is a well-kept secret.
