In the All-Star Weekend final, Nikola Jokić’s team, the Global Stars, lost to Shaquille O’Neal’s team, 41:25. Steph Curry, Irving, Durant, Harden, and others, but without LeBron James who withdrew before the game, played excellently and deserved the win.
Steph Curry was named MVP of the event. He scored 12 points in the final but entertained the crowd with his brilliant moves multiple times.
Four teams participated in the tournament: Shaquille O’Neal’s Original Gangsters, Charles Barkley’s Global Stars, Kenny Smith’s Young Stars, and Candace Parker’s Rising Stars.
