Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry put together a ridiculous show in the 2022 NBA All-Star Game on Sunday night in Cleveland.
Curry scored 50 points and made 16 three-pointers (on 27 attempts) to lead Team LeBron to a 163-160 victory over Team Durant (LeBron James fittingly made the game-winning shot in his return to Cleveland).
The 50 points are just two points shy of Anthony Davis’ All-Star Game record 52 points.

And the 16 three-pointers shattered the previous record of nine three-pointers (set by Paul George). Some of Curry’s threes were absolutely ridiculous.

Curry was an easy choice for All-Star Game MVP, and it’s his first time winning the award (he’s also a two-time NBA MVP and three-time NBA champion).
