Durant missed! 50+ in a single game after the age of 35? Curry 5 times, James 2 times, Jordan Kobe Harden 1 time

Basketball

Last season's regular season, 13 players in the league won 18 times 50+, of which Alexander won 4 times, and Jokic and Curry each had two times. It is worth mentioning that Curry is already 37 years old, but he can still play 50+ in a single game, and has done it twice in a season, which is also very amazing.

In addition to Curry, Harden, who is already 35 years old, also performed 50+ last season. For Harden at his peak, 50+ in a single game is not a difficult task, but since he left the Rockets, it has been difficult for Harden to get 50+, and even 40+ in a single game is only a handful. This is not because Harden does not have this ability, but because it is unnecessary.

The players who can still get 50+ after the age of 35 are not only Curry and Harden last season, but also several other players have also done it, namely Jordan, James, Kobe, Carl Malone, Inglish, and Crawford. James did it twice, while other players only once. Interestingly, Durant is now over 35 years old, but has not performed 50+ in a single game.

Curry not only got 50+ twice last season, but has won 50+ five times since the age of 35, which is the most players in history. Even Jordan, Kobe, and James cannot compare to him, and the combined total is once less than him. The reason why Curry can do this is because his scoring explosive power is indeed very strong, and on the other hand, Curry's three-pointers are indeed too strong. As long as he shoots three-pointers, it will be easier to score about 10 points in a game.

James is also very outstanding. He is still the top player in the league at the age of 40. He also won two 50+ times after he was 35. Not only that, James actually has more opportunities to get 50+, and in several games, he was only a few points away from being able to exceed 50+. Although James' 50+ times after the age of 35 cannot compare to Curry, he is actually not worse than Curry.

Jordan is the greatest player in history. Although he has 50+ at the age of 35, he is obviously a little less. This is not because Jordan is not strong, and because Jordan retired after winning the second three consecutive championships. After his comeback, he won 50+ at the Wizards. If he hadn't retired for the second time, Jordan should have won more than 50 after he was 35 years old.

As for Kobe, his strength has dropped sharply after suffering from a serious Achilles tendon injury. In fact, he no longer has the strength of 50+ in a single game. However, in his career retirement battle, Kobe became the protagonist of the whole game, making 50 crazy moves, so he also scored 60 points. Kobe and Curry are also the only two players who can still play 60+ in a single game after the age of 35.
