He just made it look Steph-ortless. 

In front of his home crowd at the Chase Center, the Golden Warriors star put on a dazzling performance that led Team Shaq to victory in the 2025 All-Star tournament.

Curry logged a total of 20 points scored, five rebounds, eight assists, and two steals across two games to capture his second ASG MVP and first since 2022 in Cleveland. 

With that, the four-time champion took time to social media with a heartfelt message on Wednesday, February 19.  recalling the All-Star weekend, 

"Only 11 All-Stars to my name… but this one was extra special playing in the Bay," the 36-year-old wrote. 

"Love the game more than you’ll ever know. Appreciate everyone who’s helped me get here. Nothing short of grateful!" he added. 

 

For the first time since 2000, the All-Star weekend was held in the Bay Area and Curry--who appeared in his fifth straight ASG--did not disappoint. 

He scored the first points of the final round on a triple and later hit from half court that powered Shaq’s OGs 41-25 domination of Chuck’s Global Stars.   

Curry netted 12 points built on fourth threes, becoming the 15th player in league history to win the now Kobe Bryant All-Star Game MVP on multiple occasions.

Now, the two-time league MVP shifts his focus to the second-half of the season as the Warriors are in a race against time to make a late playoff push with 27 games left.
