Michael Jordan is synonymous with scoring. But he was not a one-dimensional player. The 6x champion got his teammates involved whenever he got that chance, and that is one of the reasons why he finds himself among the best in an all-time statistics list. Many players currently in the NBA are trailing him on the list, and NBA superstar Stephen Curry is one of them.
Although Curry is way above some of the greatest point guards in NBA history on this list, Curry still falls short with over 100 games to Michael Jordan on this list.

Even at the age of 35, Stephen Curry is showing no signs of slowing down any time soon. He is one of the constants of the Golden State Warriors and is leading his team even when his teammates are struggling.
After the Golden State Warriors’ recent win against the Los Angeles Clippers earlier today, Stephen Curry finds himself climbing a highly exclusive list.
This was Curry’s 325th match, in which he had over 25 points and 5 assists. This is an even bigger feat when we realize that NBA legends Magic Johnson and John Stockton only add up to 280 games combined with this stat.

Curry is currently, 7th in this list. Although he is far and above these NBA point guards, Curry is nowhere near Michael Jordan on this list. Michael Jordan has played 428 games with over 25 points and 5 assists.
LeBron James leads this list with 755 games according to StatMuse, followed by James Harden and Michael Jordan. But does Curry have any chance to catch up to Michael Jordan?

Michael Jordan played 1072 games in the NBA. Curry is currently at 899 games. With the pace at which he is going, he would need to play at least another four seasons before getting over Michael Jordan.
With the way that Curry is currently playing, it is not out of the realm of possibility for him to keep playing until the age of 40. Curry keeps him in the best shape, and his stamina is unmatched. And shooting prowess is not something that deviates with age, so it is just a matter of time before Curry takes over Jordan on this list.
