Leave this place, Paul Arizin. Your team has another ten-time All-Star besides you.
The Chef is here for the tenth time, and he is ready to cook.
Stephen Curry is the best NBA player ever! Here’s a picture: pic.twitter.com/G4iFVzocHv
— NBA on TNT Steph Curry was chosen as an All-Star substitute for Thursday night’s game (February 2, 2024), which is the eleventh time in his career. In the Western Conference, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Luka Doncic were picked as the starting backcourt, but Curry was picked as one of seven backups after coming in second.
Curry has now been to ten All-Star games, tying Philadelphia Warriors small forward Paul Arizin for the most in the team’s history. Arizin was an All-Star for ten years, from 1951 to 1962. The two years he wasn’t, he was in the Marines during the Korean War. And even though he was named to the All-Star team in 1962, Arizin chose to quit rather than go to San Francisco with the Warriors.
Except for the 2019–20 season, when an injury kept Chef Curry from playing in all eleven games, he has been in ten of the last eleven. Curry is still having a great year, even though the Golden State Warriors are having a bad season. Since the 2018–19 season, he has had the fewest mistakes (five) and the most points (27.5). He is the best free throw shooter in the league, making 195 three-pointers and 100% of his free throws.
The way TNT showed the players was more dramatic than usual. After “Inside the NBA” reported that Anthony Edwards and Devin Booker, both of the Phoenix Suns, were backup guards, Shaquille O’Neal said, “It has Stephen Curry’s name on it,” without even opening the envelope. It was true what Shaqstrodamus said.
Why? He looked like he was lying.
Right now I feel a little cheated, bro!

It is a myth that Curry has played in every All-Star Game. He set a record in 2022 by scoring 50 points and making 16 three-pointers. This earned him the MVP award. Among other things, he won the Taco Bell Skills Challenge and two Three-Point Contests in 2011.
This crazy alley-oop to Giannis Antetokounmpo in 2019 is just one of the best plays of his career.
But we loved him in 2021, when he and Chris Paul, who would later become his coworker, shocked everyone by trading alley-oops. Curry held on to the rim because he was excited about making a real dunk.
That you came in tenth place, Curry, is really impressive. Arizin was one of the first people to make the jump shot famous, so it makes sense that he ties to him. The best jump shot of all time is tied with the best shot of all time. Archer should show Arizin how to do an alley-oop.
