Stephen Curry continues to dominate the NBA with his incredible shooting ability, despite starting his career way back in 2009.
Even in Year 17, Curry is still one of the premier guards in the league, and that’s corroborated by the most recent piece of history he’s created.
Stephen Curry Still Rewriting History
When the All-Star starters were announced in January, Curry, at 37, became the oldest guard in NBA history to earn that distinction.
This year marks Curry’s 12th NBA All-Star Game appearance overall. He first came in 2014, and he played in six straight All-Star Games before missing the 2020 edition due to sitting out the majority of the season because of a left hand injury.
This season, Curry has been a catalyst in keeping the Golden State Warriors afloat in their playoff push. The legendary guard has averaged 27.2 points (No. 8 in the league), 3.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists on 39.1% shooting from beyond the arc.
After a terrible start to the season, Curry has led the Warriors to a 28-25 record and the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference, a modest four wins behind the No. 6-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves.
With the NBA All-Star Game coming up this weekend, the league’s all-time three-point scorer has quite the body of work to build on if he’s able to play. The legendary guard is currently dealing with a knee injury that is already slated to sideline him for Golden State’s two games this week in addition to the three absences it has already caused.
Curry has been voted a starter in 11 of his 12 All-Star appearances. He is the All-Star Game all-time leader in three-point field goals (57). He was the All-Star MVP in 2022 and 2025, becoming the fourth player in NBA history to have won two NBA All-Star MVPs, two regular-season MVPs, and an NBA Finals MVP.
LeBron James, Michael Jordan, and Magic Johnson are the only players to do the same.
His 12 All-Star appearances are the most in Golden State franchise history, becoming one of 17 players to record 12 All-Star appearances for a single team. He was named the 2022 All-Star Game MVP after scoring a career-high 50 points and hitting an All-Star record 16 three-point field goals in Cleveland.
In addition to his exploits during the All-Star Game itself, Curry has also distinguished himself in other facets of the All-Star Weekend. Curry has competed in the Three-Point Contest seven times, winning it twice in 2015 and 2021, and in the Shooting Stars competition in 2014 and 2015.
The four-time champion won the Skills Challenge in 2011 and competed in the 2024 “Stephen vs. Sabrina” Three-Point Challenge.
Even at 37, Curry is still playing at an All-NBA level, so it’s unlikely this will be the last chance to see him partake in the various events at All-Star Weekend.
