It’s settled. Stephen Curry is the first Golden State Warriors All-Star starter since Latrell Sprewell in 1995.
About an hour after the starters were announced on TNT, Curry fielded questions from the media on a conference call that LetsGoWarriors.com was lucky enough to participate in. Sarah Todd of SFBay.ca and Steve Berman were the two of the first reporters to post a report.
Curry also thanked the fans:
