Golden State Warriors: All-Star Weekend Recap

As the best team in the NBA, the Golden State Warriors were well-represented at All-Star Weekend. From the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to Good Morning America to a fashion show, Warriors players and coaches appeared to be everywhere during All-Star Weekend.

Before the All-Star Weekend officially tipped off on Friday, both Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson were in New York and involved in NBA community service events, interviews, photo shoots, and TV and radio appearances. Curry also attended the official launch party for his first signature shoe with Under Armour, the Curry One, and Thompson unveiled his first signature shoe called the KT Fire with ANTA.

Here are videos and pictures from these various appearances:

On Friday, the true All-Star festivities began. Friday was NBA All-Star Media Day, so the players and coaches went through the full interview circuit. Later that day, Warriors associate head coach Alvin Gentry coached the U.S. team in the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge, and Thompson attended the Sprint Celebrity Game.

Saturday was another jam-packed day for the Warriors players and coaches. Coach Kerr led the West All-Stars through practice on Saturday morning, and Curry competed with John Wall in the Degree Battle of the Game Changers after the Western Conference All Stars’ practice. Thompson also competed in a fashion show on Saturday.

On to NBA All-Star Saturday Night. Curry and his father, Dell Curry, competed for the second consecutive year in the Degree Shooting Stars event. This year, they teamed with WNBA star Sue Bird. Team Curry ultimately didn’t win, but Curry clearly had fun competing with his dad.

The Foot Locker Three-Point Contest was the most anticipated event on NBA All-Star Saturday Night because of the extremely impressive and talented list of players that were set to compete in the contest, including both the Splash Brothers, Kyle Korver, Wesley Matthews, James Harden, J.J. Redick, Kyrie Irving, and reigning champ Marco Belinelli.

After an exhilarating first round, both Curry and Thompson advanced to the final round along with Irving. In his fourth try at this contest, Curry pulled off the win though, as he, at one point, made 13 threes in a row and scored a record-breaking 27 points in the final round.

Here are some pictures and highlights from the Three-Point Contest:

The All-Star Game on Sunday was another star-studded event that was headlined by the Warriors. Kerr and his staff coached the West All-Stars team, and both Curry and Thompson started for the West. This was Curry’s second All-Star Game and second consecutive start, and this was Thompson’s first All-Star appearance.

The game was close at the end, but the West was able to pull off the 163-158 win behind an incredible 41 points from Russell Westbrook and 29 points from Harden.

Thompson had an off shooting night but finished the game with seven points, four rebounds, and six assists.

Curry had a solid game and produced some of the best highlights of the game. Curry finished the night with 15 points, nine rebounds, and four assists.

Here are some of the Splash Brothers’ highlights from the All-Star Game:

Congrats to Curry, Thompson, Kerr, and the rest of the Warriors coaching staff for representing the team, the Warriors organization, and Dub Nation with the ultimate class and respect!
