Stephen Curry’s performance during the 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend was nothing short of remarkable. The event, held at the Chase Center in San Francisco, introduced a new format: a four-team single-elimination tournament.
Curry, representing “Shaq’s OGs,” led his team to victory in the championship game against “Chuck’s Global Stars.” He contributed 20 points and 10 rebounds in the final, earning him the All-Star MVP award. This accolade places him alongside legends like LeBron James, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan as players with multiple All-Star MVPs, regular-season MVPs, and an NBA Finals MVP.
The new All-Star format aimed to enhance competitiveness by featuring a mini-tournament with teams drafted by NBA analysts and a team comprising Rising Stars. While some players, like Draymond Green, criticized the format for limiting individual performances, others, including Damian Lillard, appreciated the increased competitiveness.
Curry’s MVP performance on his home court not only delighted fans but also solidified his legacy as one of the game’s greats. His achievement adds to an already illustrious career, further cementing his status in NBA history.
