Steph Curry added another trophy to his ever-growing mantle of hardware.
The Warriors’ superstar was named All-Star Game MVP after a record-breaking performance Sunday night at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
Scoring 50 points and draining an All-Star Game record of 16 3-pointers, Curry took home The Kobe Bryant Trophy, which honors the late NBA legend and is awarded to the MVP of the All-Star Game.
Curry was honored to hoist the trophy after his incredible performance.
“It’s pretty special, obviously being back in Ohio, playing with the best guys in the league and celebrating the highest level of basketball,” Curry told NBA on TNT’s Ernie Johnson. “Obviously, this trophy has a very special meaning, honoring Kobe, Gigi, everybody who was lost two years ago. Very humbled, very blessed and I really appreciate it.”
