Chase Center was the venue which hosted the game between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers, which Steph Curry’s side lost 118-110. However, the night will be remembered for something a lot more special: Steph Curry became the oldest player in NBA history to average at least 30.0 points through his first 10 games of a season, breaking the record previously held by... himself.

The 35-year-old is in his 15th season at the top level, and is still putting up simply stunning numbers in the NBA. He is, at the moment, playing 32.1 minutes per game and shooting at 49.5 percent from the field. However, it is his 3-pointer percentage that is truly sensational, sitting at 45.2%.

This year, Curry is making more threes per game than he ever has at 5.7 and, when when we take that number per 100 possessions, this season’s numbers are the second highest of his career, behind only his stellar 2020-21 season record. Last season, the nine-time NBA All-Star averaged 29.4 points in 56 games.

Who is the oldest player to average 30 points per game for an entire season?

Thanks for asking. At present, it is Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James who is the oldest player to average 30 points per game for an entire season, a feat he achieved at the age of 37 when he averaged 30.3 points in the 2020-2021 NBA season.

What does Curry need to do to break the record?

The Golden State Warriors, despite their inconsistent results, still have 72 games to go, meaning Steph Curry has plenty more games to keep his average going, or even improve on the current run he’s on.

The Golden State Warriors sit 6th in the Western Conference standings.
