SAN FRANCISCO – Steph Curry walked slowly into the press conference room holding his 2025 NBA All-Star MVP trophy with both hands Sunday night at Chase Center. He set the trophy down to his right before taking a seat, letting out a light exhale and rubbing his right eye.

The previous 63 hours-plus were nonstop for him as the host of this year’s annual event. Business ventures. Media mayhem. Back and forth from Oakland to San Francisco from dusk to dawn.

Then, he had an All-Star Game to play. And after the game, more media to speak to in what he would expect as the final thing on his to-do list to wrap up the chaotic weekend, but realistically won’t be.

He was exhausted. But he refused to let that emotion outweigh the others.

“The hosting experience was unbelievable,” Curry said. “I’m not going to complain about being tired or exhausted. This is an honor and a blessing to be able to celebrate and share this beautiful Bay Area that’s been a part of my life for the last 16 years and the basketball history and culture that’s here, and the amazing fans that are here and the impact that the game being here has had on both cities.

“It was awesome from start to finish. The highlight is obviously the game. That’s what everybody is looking forward to. But brought a lot of my people together that have helped me along the way or been a part of the journey, and I got to kind of reflect a little bit. I’m excited to get back to work next week. I’ll definitely get away and take a little catch-up on some sleep. But everything kind of went exactly as it should. It was a 10 out of 10 experience for sure, hosting the game here.”

Curry tallied eight points for Shaq’s OGs in the quarterfinal game which helped advance his squad to the final round to face Chuck’s Global Stars.

In the NBA All-Star Final, Curry wasted no time doing what he does best by putting on a show. His floater – from behind the arc – hit nothing but net and opened up the scoring for Shaq’s OGs as the mostly snoozy Chase Center…
