Steph Curry Ties 76ers’ LeBron James In NBA History

Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry scored 44 points in a win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, tying Philadelphia 76ers forward LeBron James for the most 40-point games after turning 35 in NBA history. Curry reached the milestone in 32 minutes of play, bringing his total to 15 such games alongside James. Retired legend Michael Jordan ranks third on the list with 12.

While Curry remains a high-volume scoring option for Golden State, James has taken on a different role in Philadelphia alongside multiple recent All-Stars. James last recorded a 40-point performance in February 2025, and he is currently averaging 15.5 points, 6.8 assists, and 6.5 rebounds while helping the 76ers to a 4-1 start.
