Folks, sometimes the basketball gods just get it right. In a world where the NBA All-Star Game has been fighting for relevance like a MyPlayer trying to escape the G League, Steph Curry reminded everyone why he’s still the most magnetic force in basketball, cooking up an MVP performance in front of his Bay Area faithful. It was Curry’s 11th All-Star selection and 10th appearance overall.
Curry went nuclear when it mattered most and led Shaq’s OGs to the inaugural championship of the new ASG format. That stat line might not jump off the page like his ridiculous 50-point explosion in 2022, but this performance was about perfect narrative timing more than statistical dominance.
