Stephen Curry came to the All-Star Game to confirm that he is the best away scorer in NBA history and he did.
The guard of the Golden State Warriors came from behind to be crowned champion of the triple competition, with a performance in which he showed that, under pressure, he does his best no matter how tired or covered he may be.
Curry had to make the final blow to defeat Mike Conley in the final with 28-27 points, after starting slowly in the first season, where he missed his first four attempts in the final round.
Conley, a 33-year-old Utah Jazz player who replaced All-Star for the injured Phoenix Suns Devin Booker, scored 27 points earlier and missed just eight of his shots.
In the last round, the one who fell was Jayson Tatum from the Boston Celtics, who just scored 17 points.
“I knew I won from the screams of the fans,” Curry said. “The final with Mike (Conley) and the rest of the boys was very interesting.”
Curry showed his talent in his presentation, in which he missed only five shots, including the first two, before picking up the pace and finishing with 31 points.
“The final round made me very long, with only a few minutes of rest after the first (round),” said Curry, who has an ERA of 43.3% on three-point attempts in 12 NBA seasons.
The rest of the competitors in the Triples tour were Donovan Mitchell of the Utah Jazz; Jaylen Brown of the Boston Celtics and Zach Levine of the Chicago Bulls.
