that Steph is one of the best to ever do it.
This man is on the verge of being 33 years old.
MJ was in his 20s when he dropped his 60+ point games
LeBron was in his 20s when he dropped his 61-point game
Shaq was in his 20s when he dropped his 61-point game
Malone was in his 20s when he dropped his 61-point game
A.I. was in his 20s when he dropped his 60-point game.
Steph is the second-oldest player in NBA history to drop 60+ points, and what makes it all the more impressive, he did it on efficiency of 78 TS%, which to put into perspective, the oldest player to drop 60+ points (RIP Kobe), only did it on 54 TS%. This is a man who's approaching his mid-30s, whose predecessors' historic scoring performances came during their respective athletic peaks/primes, and he's out here with his undersized, non-athletic ass, doing it with nothing but cotdamn skill.
A true pioneer who mastered the art of scoring with AND without the ball.
And marinate on this:
Don't be mad; just appreciate greatness.

And marinate on this:
- No Klay
- No KD
- Draymond still dealing with COVID effects going 0-2 from the field, scoring only one point
- Oubre going 1-5 from behind the arc; shooting 4% from 3 for the season (yes, you read that right - 4%)
- Wiggins shooting 1-5 from behind the arc
- The rest of the starting lineup provided no spacing, going 2-12 from 3
- With almost an entirely new squad, with who he's only played a handful of games.
Don't be mad; just appreciate greatness.
