There was no Eastern Conference vs. Western Conference this year. The new-look NBA All-Star Game debuted Sunday night with a tournament-style format in which four teams made up of eight players faced off in three games.
Steph Curry, on his home court, led “Team Shaq” to victory and earned MVP honors. LeBron James, with his record-setting 21st All-Star nod, was expected to play alongside Curry, but he was a late scratch due to ankle soreness.
In the final, Team Shaq’s OGs topped the global superstardom of “Team Chuck,” which boasted three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokić and Victor Wembanyama, who made his All-Star debut.
Before that, Curry and Company held off “Team Candace,” the winning squad from the Rising Stars competition. In the first game, Team Chuck defeated Team Kenny, highlighted by some of the NBA’s best young talent, including 3-Point Contest winner Tyler Herro.
