Until Stephen Curry, Michael Jordan held a lot of the NBA's records for scoring in the second half of a career.
But now, the Golden State Warriors' legend keeps playing and keeps breaking them.
The latest record broken by Curry is 30-point games by a guard after turning 30, according to Real Sports.
Curry achieved his latest 30-point game in a disappointing loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday.
He dropped 31 points on 11-for-21 shooting, although only 3-for-11 from 3-point range. He was also 6-for-6 from the line.
Curry added three rebounds and five assists in the defeat.

It was a record kind of night for Curry. He scored enough points that he and his father, Dell, could pass Kobe Bryant and his dad, Joe, on the NBA's list of scoring for father-son duos. Only LeBron and Bronny James are ahead of the Curry father-son now.
The loss on Sunday is quite indicative of where the Warriors are these days, though. Without a Herculean effort from Curry, they couldn't beat the Hawks.
And they shouldn't have to always rely on Curry to carry them. He's 37 years old.
But that's how Golden State is built. Curry is still the sun that everything orbits around. And he's still special enough to do that.
Some nights, though, it won't be enough. Curry scored 31, and the Warriors lost by 16. It's something they'll have to figure out, or they'll risk wasting these late stages of Steph's still-brilliant career.
