OAKLAND – In only four days, Stephen Curry will return to the place that shaped his childhood and his basketball journey.
The NBA will host All-Star weekend in his hometown of Charlotte, N.C., and Curry may as well be the league’s unofficial host along with the Hornets franchise. Curry will make his sixth appearance in the NBA 3-point contest on Saturday and his sixth All-Star appearance on Sunday. On Saturday, Curry will also compete against his brother, Seth, in the 3-point contest. Before Sunday’s All-Star game, the NBA will honor Curry’s father, Dell, who played for the Charlotte Hornets (1988-1998) and currently serves as the team’s broadcaster.
