Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry didn\u2019t play Sunday\u2019s NBA All-Star Game, but he still managed to steal a moment before the festivities began.<\/p>\n
During NBC\u2019s pregame coverage, Curry casually launched a deep shot from the NBA on NBC set \u2014 and in true Curry fashion, knocked it down, adding yet another entry to his growing collection of absurd marksmanship.<\/p>\n
Curry\u2019s absence from this year\u2019s showcase didn\u2019t dampen his All-Star energy for long. The Warriors guard has already started building anticipation for next season, teasing a return to the three-point contest and the possibility of a showdown featuring several of the league\u2019s elite shooters, including this year\u2019s champion Damian Lillard and former Warriors teammate and Splash Brother Klay Thompson.<\/p>\n
Even without a uniform on Sunday, Curry still found a way to put on a show and build excitement, reminding everyone why he remains one of the NBA\u2019s brightest stars.<\/p>\n
