Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry has been breaking records all season long, and he almost rewrote the record books again on Wednesday night. The only reason he didn’t do it against the Oklahoma City Thunder was that he didn’t need to, as the Warriors coasted to a 147-109 victory.

Against the Thunder, Curry finished with 42 points in just 29 minutes, including 25 points on a perfect 8-for-8 shooting in a dazzling display of shooting in the third quarter. He hit 11 3-pointers in his time on the floor, and for a moment, it seemed as if teammate Klay Thompson’s record for most 3-pointers in a game, which stands at 14, would be shattered.

Earlier this week, Curry scored 53 points in Golden State’s win over the Denver Nuggets to surpass Wilt Chamberlain as the franchise’s all-time leading scorer. He has scored at least 30 points 25 times this season and seems poised to do so more times as the Warriors look to remain in the playoff hunt.

Curry is in the middle of one of the hottest streaks in his 12-year career, and it doesn’t look like he’ll cool off anytime soon. With the Warriors at 27-28 and in the ninth spot in the Western Conference, they’ll need every brilliant performance they can get from their All-Star guard, who seems willing to oblige. Because as good as Curry is right now, and as good as he has been in his career, there’s a feeling that he can still reach new heights and that he’s far from done showcasing his talent as the greatest shooter the league has ever seen.

It’s hard to believe that a guard who revolutionized the way the game is played and has three championships and two MVPs is only getting started, but it’s clear that he’s far from done even in Year 12 and at age 33. This season, Curry is averaging 30.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 1.3 steals while shooting 49.0% from the field and 42.4% from beyond the arc. If he keeps it up, he’ll average career-best numbers in scoring and rebounding, all while taking on a larger role in the team’s offense due to Thompson’s absence due to injury.

It will be hard for the Davidson product to equal or surpass the numbers he put up during his 2015-2016 season, when he was the NBA’s first unanimous MVP. But he is currently scoring more while attempting the most number of shots in his career, so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see those numbers go up even more.

Conventional wisdom suggests that players will start to show a decline at this stage of their careers as age and wear and tear take their toll on their bodies. While Stephen Curry has had his share of injuries, he remains at his peak when fully healthy. And with the Warriors needing every supernova performance from their All-Star guard, we may see him reach greater heights this season as he looks to lead the team to the postseason.
