Last night Stephen Curry exploded for 54 points at Madison Square Garden on 18-28 shooting and a staggering 11-13 on three pointers. Curry was one three pointer from tying the NBA record for a single game of 12 made threes set by Kobe Bryant and tied by Donyell Marshall. The Knicks tried doubling Curry but he simply passed out to the open man and made the right basketball play, finishing with 7 assists. This game signifies Curry's breakout as a rising young superstar in the NBA. He is shooting a whopping 46% from deep this year while shooting over 7 three pointers per game. This has never been done before, not even by the best three point shooters ever such as Ray Allen and Reggie Miller. Even though he may not even be the best shooter in his family as his father, Dell Curry was a great three point shooter, Curry can now be considered one of the great three point shooters the game has seen

NBA All Star Starters and Reserves Announced
The starters for the NBA's all star game were announced last week and there were multiple surprises as the starters are determined exclusively by fan voting. The fan voting system is flawed because while the all star game is for the fans. However this means that the players most deserving of an all star selection do not always get voted in as starters. This year LeBron James of the Miami Heat was the leading vote getter, closely followed by Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder and Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks. Anyway, Here are your 2013 NBA all star game starters as determined by the you, the fans.
While there are the usual superstars starting, some players such as Kevin Garnett and even Dwight Howard were voting as starters based on reputation alone. Howard is a having a subpar season, not only based on his lofty standards, but relative to other NBA front court players. He is currently making a horrendous 49% of his free throws and Howard is producing at a career low rate for points and rebounds, save his rookie season. He was simply voted a starter because he is a big name. This year the western conference's starters look much stronger than the those of the eastern conference as they have better guards in Los Angeles' two best guards, Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul and Kevin Durant to counter the east's Lebron.
