Moments before stepping onto the court for public practice at the NBA All-Star Game, four-time champion Stephen Curry was captured on camera in a truly nice moment. Our exclusive footage shows Curry balling with a young ball boy, sharing a special exchange just before the All-Star action went off.
The All-Star weekend is packed with exciting events, from the Skills Challenge and the Three-Point Contest to the high-flying Slam Dunk Contest. Fans will also be able to see the PlayStation NBA Creator Cup and themedia will attend the NBA Commissioner Adam Silver’s news conference. But before all the spectacle and competition, it was Curry’s interaction with the young ball boy that captured the eyes of many as he is playing his 11th All Star Game on Sunday.
As Stephen Curry made his way through the tunnel for his 11th All-Star appearance, he shared the moment with a couple of NBA stars. Along him were Kevin Durant, celebrating his 15th All-Star selection, Jayson Tatum posting his 5th consecutive (6th overall), Kyrie Irving entering his 8th All-Star game, and James Harden, also reaching his 11th appearance.
His reputation as a genuinely good teammate and person distinguish him. Recent stories, like his gesture of giving rookie Quinten Post a ride home at 2 a.m. from airport, shows his character. This All-Star interaction with a young fan, while a small act for Curry, likely means the world to that child and serves as an inspiration for future stars. It’s these seemingly small moments of kindness and connection that often have the biggest impact, demonstrating Curry’s understanding of his influence.
The NBA All-Star Game has returned to the Bay Area, with the festivities being held at the Chase Center in San Francisco. The arena, which opened its doors on September 6, 2019, is the home of the Golden State Warriors and has a seating capacity of 18,064 for their games.
The Golden State Warriors have a long and storied history in the San Francisco Bay Area, dating back to 1962. Prior to moving to the Chase Center, the team played their home games at Oakland Arena in Oakland from 1971 to 2019. Oakland Arena also housed the Warriors’ practice facility, known as the Oracle Performance Center. This move to the Chase Center marks a new chapter for the Warriors franchise.
