Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry took home the second All-Star Game MVP award of his career Sunday after leading Shaq's OGs to victory over Chuck's Global Stars in the final of the event's new mini-tournament.

Curry recorded 12 points, four rebounds, two assists, and two steals in the final game after producing eight points, six boards, one dime, and a steal in the semifinal against Candace's Rising Stars.

The four-time NBA Champion also splashed in four threes in the final, none more impressive than a half-court heave.

Curry is the fourth player in NBA history to win two All-Star Game MVPs, two regular-season MVPs, and a Finals MVP, joining LeBron James, Michael Jordan, and Magic Johnson in accomplishing the feat.

The crowd at San Francisco's Chase Center, home to Curry's Warriors, gave the 36-year-old guard a nice ovation when he received his hardware.

"It's obviously our responsibility to come out and put on a show, and I thank them for helping me do that," Curry said after being named MVP. "But the competition, and the camaraderie, and the legacies that we all create is what it's all about. So I'm happy to be a part of that celebration."

Curry made the 10th All-Star Game appearance of his career Sunday. He scored an absurd 50 points during the 2022 midseason classic to win his first All-Star Game MVP award.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum put up a valiant for the award, posting a game-high 15 points in the final for Shaq's OGs.

Curry received 12 out of 14 votes for the award, while Tatum and Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander each received one vote.
