Clippers' Brook Lopez makes wild basketball history only done before by Steph Curry, LeBron James

Stephen Curry. LeBron James.

And Brook Lopez.

How's that for a trio in NBA history?

The Los Angeles Clippers' center Lopez did something Friday night that had only ever been done before by Curry and James.

The feat? Lopez made nine 3-pointers in a game after turning 37 years old.

Curry has done it four times. James has done it twice.

Lopez started at center for the Clippers with Ivica Zubac out, and he shot 9-for-14 from 3-point range (and missed his only two 2-point attempts).

He finished with 31 points, also going 4-for-4 at the line, and grabbed five rebounds while blocking two shots.

It's a wild turn for Lopez, who had fallen out of the rotation entirely not long ago.

Lopez also has been a second-stage 3-point shooter, having been a total block scorer in the first half of his NBA career but realizing that being a shooter could extend his basketball life. It surely has.

On Friday night, Lopez caught fire, and in a way that has only been done before by two all-time greats.
