(The Post News)- Stephen Curry lit up the court at the 2025 NBA All-Star Game, earning Kia MVP honours and once again proving why he’s the face of Bay Area basketball. With LeBron James sidelined due to injury, Curry seized the spotlight, leading his team with electrifying plays and reminding fans why he’s a generational talent.
This year’s All-Star Weekend brought fresh excitement with a new tournament-style format, featuring four teams competing in a first-to-40-points-wins setup. The changes added a sense of urgency and defensive intensity that’s been missing in recent years. Comedian Kevin Hart kept the crowd entertained during breaks, but the NBA is still tweaking the event to find the perfect balance of fun and competition.
Mac McClung made history by winning his third straight AT&T Slam Dunk Contest, sparking buzz about future showdowns with stars like Ja Morant and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Rookie Stephon Castle also emerged as a standout, impressing fans with his athleticism and raising questions about his role with the San Antonio Spurs. The weekend marked the end of an era as TNT’s beloved “Inside the NBA” crew signed off for the last time. Ernie Johnson Jr.’s heartfelt poetry and Kenny Smith’s iconic dunk commentary will be sorely missed.
