Steph Curry was on fire tonight, reliving his 2016 level dominance from the deep range and having a ball. The Warriors’ point guard proved a great pick for Team LeBron as he looked totally in control of his catch-and-shoot.

Also, the league topper, Utah’s Donovan Mitchell, became a Chef Curry 3-point casualty because it was a clear Steph show out there.

One of the greatest highlights of Curry’s show remained the ‘almost’ mid-court three-pointer off a LeBron James pass. It was as if Bron was just fooling around in the restricted area only to find Curry, which he successfully did. Just as LeBron converted his back pass, an open Curry took his chances from way behind the arc and converted an iconic three. Enjoy the clip –
