SAN FRANCISCO — The spotlight during the pregame festivities was on Stephen Curry, who capped off the event with a triumphant MVP trophy raise, showcasing a breathtaking finale to his memorable All-Star Game experience in his hometown.
In his arena, surrounded by enthusiastic fans, Curry relished another defining moment in his illustrious career.
This recognition was well-earned for the Golden State Warriors superstar, who has journeyed from Oakland to San Francisco with exceptional accomplishments.
Curry opened the final with an impressive 3-pointer and later stunned everyone with a half-court shot, joyfully celebrating with rapper Mistah F.A.B. along the baseline. He contributed to Shaq’s team by scoring 12 points, including four 3-pointers, leading them to a commanding victory over Chuck’s Global Stars, 41-25, on Sunday.
The atmosphere at the Chase Center was electric as fans chanted “MVP! MVP!” during his trophy presentation.
In addition to his Olympic gold medal earned in August, this All-Star victory in the Bay Area marks another highlight for Curry as he approaches his 37th birthday next month.
The star player started his pregame warm-up by tossing a ball to Anthony Edwards, even without his regular practice partner, assistant coach Bruce Fraser.
Shaquille O’Neal selected Curry and his teammates for this All-Star event, which introduced a new format pitting them against Candace’s Rising Stars in the first match of the revamped midseason celebration.
In this straightforward style, there were no quarters or clock; the first team to reach 40 points took the win.
This occasion was the perfect conclusion for Curry after a lively weekend filled with celebrations, practice sessions, and community engagement.
With this being his 11th All-Star selection and 10th time participating, the significance of the moment was profound for Curry, whose birthday falls on March 14. He displayed a wave of emotion during the Canadian and U.S. national anthems before quickly shifting his focus to the game ahead.
