Curry won the 2025 All-Star MVP and became the fourth player in history to achieve legendary achievements

On February 18, the San Francisco All-Star Game ushered in the final peak showdown. Although the competition system and game rhythm of this All-Star Game caused some controversy, the performance of the host Stephen Curry was impeccable. With accurate three-point shooting and outstanding leadership, he led the O'Neal team to a 41-25 victory over the Barkley team, successfully won the championship, and was elected the 2025 All-Star MVP with an overwhelming advantage.

This is the second time Curry has won the AMVP award in his career , making him the fourth player in NBA history to have at least 2 regular season MVPs, 2 All-Star MVPs and 1 Finals MVP, on par with Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and LeBron James .

The All-Star Game has made some adjustments to the game system, adopting a 40-point match point rule, but this change has caused dissatisfaction among players and fans. As the game time is shorter than before, many players have not yet fully entered the game rhythm, and the All-Star Game hastily ended. Some fans even think that this is the most disappointing All-Star Game in recent years.

After the game started, O'Neal's team quickly took the initiative, with Tatum and Curry teaming up to lead the team to an 11-0 attack wave. Although Alexander later contributed key points to Barkley's team, the entire game still showed a relatively uneven situation. In addition, the extra-long timeout in the middle of the game also affected the players' competitive state.

During the suspension, Curry and James Harden hosted the handover ceremony for the next All-Star Game, officially announcing that the 2026 All-Star Game will be held at the Los Angeles Clippers' home court. Although this ceremony is of great significance to the inheritance of the All-Star Game, it also further weakened the fluency of the game.

After the timeout, Barkley's Wen Ban Yama showed amazing potential on both offense and defense, successfully blocked Durant's shot, and scored consecutively to narrow the gap. However, Curry stood up in time and hit two consecutive three-pointers, which laid the foundation for the victory in one fell swoop, helping O'Neal's team to easily win 41-25 and win the 2025 All-Star Championship.

In the All-Star MVP selection, Curry won 12 of 14 votes, far more than the votes of Alexander and Tatum, and successfully won the AMVP. This honor not only further consolidated his position in NBA history, but also made him the fourth player in history to achieve "2 MVPs + 2 AMVPs + 1 FMVP" after Jordan, Magic and James.

Although the 2025 All-Star Game suffered some controversy in terms of the format and the flow of the game, Curry's performance was impeccable. He once again proved his dominance in the All-Star Game and helped the team lock in the victory with accurate three-pointers. As his career continues to move to new heights, Curry will undoubtedly leave a more colorful mark in NBA history.
