Stephen Curry isn’t just defying Father Time - he’s giving him a no-look three and a shimmy on the way back down the court.
At 37 years old, Curry continues to stretch the boundaries of what’s possible for a veteran point guard in today’s NBA. Saturday night against the Phoenix Suns was the latest reminder: 28 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists - and, for good measure, a plus-13 in a game the Warriors won by just three, 119-116.
Let’s start with the headline stat. According to Real Sports, Curry is now the oldest point guard in league history to post a 25-point, 10-rebound game.
That’s a milestone that doesn’t just speak to longevity - it speaks to evolution. This isn’t just the greatest shooter we’ve ever seen still finding ways to score.
This is a 6’2” guard, in year 16, stepping into the paint and battling for boards like he’s got something to prove.
And Saturday, he did just that - grabbing 10 rebounds, eight of them on the defensive end and two on the offensive glass. Rebounding has never been Curry’s calling card, but when he dials in that part of his game, it adds a whole new dimension to what he brings to the floor.
It’s not just the scoring, the shooting, or the gravity he creates. It’s the all-around impact - the kind that shows up in the box score and in the flow of the game.
He shot 9-of-19 from the field, including 4-of-11 from deep, and hit 6-of-7 from the free-throw line. Not his most efficient night from beyond the arc, but the numbers still tell the story of a player who controlled the game when it mattered.
And that plus-13 in a game decided by a single possession? That’s not noise - that’s signal.
It means when Curry was out there, the Warriors were in control.
There’s a tendency to take greatness for granted, especially when it’s been around this long. Curry’s been dazzling us for over a decade - changing the geometry of the game, forcing defenses to pick him up 35 feet from the rim, and redefining what it means to be a point guard in the modern NBA. But what he’s doing now, at this stage of his career, is something else entirely.
This isn’t just about shooting. It’s about leadership, endurance, and a deep understanding of how to impact the game in every possible way. The Warriors needed every bit of Curry’s production to get past the Suns, and he delivered - not with flashy highlights (though there were a few of those, too), but with substance.
So while we still have him - while he’s still lacing them up and putting on performances like this - take a moment to appreciate it. Players like Curry don’t come around often. And players like Curry, doing this at 37, might not come around again.
The clock is always ticking in sports. But for now, Stephen Curry is still out there, still rewriting the rules, and still making it look easy.
