Appropriately, the player who celebrated becoming the all-time 3-point king earlier this season made more history in the All-Star Game Sunday night inside Cleveland’s Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. It took 47 seconds for Steph Curry to splash the first 3-pointer, setting up his latest performance etched into the record books.
By the time it was over, Curry had 50 points on 16 3-pointers, obliterating the previous All-Star record for 3s in a game and narrowly missing out on the All-Star scoring record, too. In Andrew Wiggins’ All-Star debut, with Draymond Green featured prominently on the Turner Sports broadcast, it was still Curry who managed to steal the show.
After hitting his 16th 3-pointer, Curry finished a floater to reach 50 points — two shy of the All-Star Game record — but his missed his final six shots and passed up another sure-fire bucket for an assist, leaving him just short of another record in on an otherwise marvelous showing in his eighth and most spectacular All-Star appearance.
Afterward, commissioner Adam Silver presented Curry with the Kobe Bryant MVP trophy, the first time he has taken home All-Star Game MVP honors.
