On February 22, Beijing time, the 2022 NBA All-Star Game came to an end yesterday. James beat Durant 163:160, warriors star Curry scored 50 points in the whole game, he hit 16 three-pointers madly, and won the All-Star MVP without suspense!
It is worth mentioning that this is the first time curry has won an All-Star MVP trophy in his career. At the All-Star Weekend event, Curry has won the Skill Challenge Championship (2011), the Three-Point Championship (2015 and 2021), and the All-Star Regular Game MVP (2022), which is the first player in NBA history to collect three All-Star Awards! For Curry, he "just needs" to win the dunk contest to become an NBA All-Star Weekend Grand Slam winner.
Earlier today, NBA officials and All-Star officials released a set photo of Curry holding the All-Star MVP Trophy. In the photo, Curry takes off his jersey and puts on a black T-shirt. It can be seen that Curry is very happy to be able to win the All-Star MVP trophy, and he himself admitted in an interview that he hopes to add something new to his career resume.
After Curry was elected All-Star MVP, ESPN famous commentator A-Smith said: "Curry has now become the face of the NBA because he is winning and James is not. If James is the facade, it is more because of off-court factors, but when it comes to on-court performance, Curry can do everything, although James also has excellent personal performances, but the Lakers are struggling. Considering the fact that Curry is only 6'3 inches, combined with curry doing everything on the court, he is the greatest shooter in NBA history. Given what Curry is doing at this point, I think he's the one to replace James as the NBA facade. ”
It is worth mentioning that in an interview yesterday, Curry was asked about his views on taking the James torch as the face of the league. Curry's answer was very decent, he said: "This is a great honor, if you have done something that changes people's perceptions because of playing, that is the influence you have." I want to value that through everything I do, and I know it's a great opportunity, but at the same time it comes with responsibility. ”
So far in his career, Curry has won 3 NBA championship trophies, two regular season MVP trophies, one All-Star MVP trophy, two NBA scoring champions, and also maintained the NBA's all-time record for total three-pointers.
