Stephen Curry's magnificent performance continues to build up his legacy

Stephen Curry gave us another sensational performance on Saturday night. Despite the loss, Steph's performance yesterday was huge, and it was enough to consolidate him (even more) in the great history of basketball. Hopefully the rest of the team can provide him the help needed to see him competing in the playoffs once again.

In the game against Trae Young and the Hawks, Chef achieved several historic milestones that earned him a presence of even greater prominence among NBA royalty. Here are the details.

Second oldest player to reach the 60-point mark, after Kobe Bryant did it at the age of 37 in his last professional game. As a bonus, Curry also holds the No. 3 spot on this list, after scoring 62 points against the Blazers at the age of 32.

First player this season to score 60+ points on less than 10 free throws: While Booker, Doncic and Karl-Anthony Towns all scored that many points this year, they went to the line at least 13 times.

Second player over 30 with the most 40+ point games, only behind His Majesty, Michael Jordan who holds the record with 44. Curry is close behind with 36.

Second player who needed fewer free throws to reach the 60-point mark in a game, in this case behind Rick Barry, who achieved this milestone 50 years ago, shooting just 5 free throws.

Steph yesterday scored 10 three-pointers in a game, an accomplishment he has already achieved 25 times. The 5 players chasing him have 24 games between them. Truly out of this world.

Most games with 20+ points in a single quarter: Chef also leads this category, ahead of the likes of Kobe Bryant, Damian Lillard and LeBron James himself.

And the list could go on. Stephen Curry's contribution to NBA history throughout his career is unquestionable. He is a player who has come to change the sport as we used to see it, and has transcended to occupy that place of legend in which all audiences can appreciate him, regardless of the team they root for.
