My favorite storyline from Sunday’s NBA All-Star game has to be Damian Lillard and Steph Curry having a blast together on Team LeBron.
They traded off amazing shots from the logo (and beyond) and had a fun exchange on Twitter.
And with Team LeBron one three-pointer away from beating Team Durant, Lillard — there’s no one better with the game on the line than him right now — pulled up from just inside half-court and casually hit the game-winner.
That, in itself, was awesome. But it was also Curry’d reaction that was similarly a delight, the perfect way to put a cap on their night.
First, the shot:

How did Curry react? He waved before the shot went up, a call-back to Lillard waving goodbye to the Oklahoma City Thunder after his playoff-round-winning shot in 2019.
Steph knew it was over 💀
