The

All-Star of the NBA

left a good handful of protagonists.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

, the first international MVP in the history of the event.

Stephen Curry

, Triple Contest champion.

Anfernee Simons

, winner of a Decaf Mates Contest.

Or

Damian Lillard

, who closed a game without much history with a triple from the center of the field (170-150).

As in all the editions in which it has been celebrated with this format,

Team LeBron

took the victory.

If the novel scoring system in the fourth quarter served to rescue the excitement in the

2020 All-Star

, in 2021 it rescued the fans by finishing a very uneven game prematurely.

Curry

, wrist in tune after a sensational

Triple

S

Contest

, didn't even need to look at the basket to know the ball was going in:

Lillard

(32 points, 8/16 triples) and

Curry

(28 points, 8/16 triples) showed why they are the best specialists in long triples:

But the MVP went to

Antetokounmpo

, leading scorer with 35 points without failure (16/16 shooting) in just 19 minutes.

Curry and the 'Bomba' Navarro

Before the game,

Stephen Curry

achieved his second Contest of Triples champion title.

The

Golden State Warriors point

guard

scored the best score in the first round (31) and beat

Mike Conley

in the final

with the last ball from the last car:

A few hours before, by the way, they had asked him if he had ever noticed Juan

Carlos Navarro

.

"I once played a national team match against him. I have seen many videos of him. His creativity, his shooting selection and his rhythm attract attention when you play against him. I saw him shoot 3-pointers with one leg, how he moved on the court. It helped me learn little things for my game. It inspired me. You always have to pay attention to any player you can see yourself in. "

Simons, in the mates

The young

Anfernee Simons

took the victory in a Decaf Dunk Contest.

The Blazers player, who owes his name to

Penny Hardaway

, took the opportunity to pay tribute to another historical Orlando Magic,

Tracy McGrady

:

His rival in the final,

Obi Toppin

, jumped over his teammate

Julius Randle

and his father, a former street basketball player known as 'Dunker's Delight'.

Finally, former ACB

Domas Sabonis

won the Skills Contest.
