This is a first in 10 years! For the first time since 2014 and therefore in his career, Stephen Curry will not start at the All-Star Game. However, the public had chosen him, and the Warriors leader was 2nd in the votes in the “backcourt” category. But the media and the players, whose cumulative votes count for 50%, ranked him 3rd and 4th respectively in their votes.
In detail, we see that the players had opted for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luka Doncic then Anthony Edwards. This 4th place undoubtedly cost Curry, MVP of the All-Star Game in 2022, this All-Star Game start.
A 10th selection in sight
Regardless, the Warriors point guard stay fair after this “first”. “We have two guys who are having an incredible season, with Luka and Shai. They deserve it. I hope to be at Indiana, but it proves that nothing is taken for granted, and how difficult it is to be recognized every year. »
Barring an earthquake, Curry should be drafted by the coaches, just like Anthony Edwards, 3rd in player votes. The Warriors leader should therefore celebrate his 10th selection, and thus equal John Stockton, Ray Allen or even Jason Kidd and Carmelo Anthony.
