Warriors' Steph Curry makes basketball history never done in NBA for his position image

Stephen Curry continues to boggle the mind.

The Golden State Warriors' legend is 37 years old. He's a mid-sized point guard who had major ankle issues early in his career. He shouldn't still be doing what he's doing.

But oh boy, is he doing it alright.

On Saturday night, Curry became the oldest point guard in NBA history to have a game with at least 25 points and 10 rebounds, according to Real Sports.

All told, Curry finished with 28 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists in a 119-116 win over the Phoenix Suns.

He shot 9-for-19 from the floor, 4-for-11 from 3 and 6-for-7 from the foul line.

It's wild that Curry decided on this night to get on the glass that much. He does it once in a while, but it's still an added layer that we only get to see rarely.

Eight of Curry's boards were defensive, while a pair were on the offensive end.

Curry was also a plus-13 in a three-point win, so he was clearly highly influential to the Warriors doing good things during the 35 minutes he was on the floor.

Just be sure to appreciate this man while he's still playing. This era has given us legends who seem like they'll never go away.

But in reality, the clock is ticking. Someday, Curry won't be on the court blowing our minds any longer.

For now, we just have to recognize the greatness in our midst.
