Meet the Dubs' All-Star Game MVPs
Though Team Giannis led for most of the first three quarters, the 2019 All-Star Game became a tight contest late. With just under six minutes left in the game, Team LeBron had a two-point lead and was looking to create some breathing room. The Warriors’ Kevin Durant answered the call to help and hit back-to-back three-pointers, including one from 28-feet. His late effort and 31-point performance earned him the 2019 All-Star Game MVP Award.
This was Durant’s tenth All-Star game in his 12 seasons in the league, and the second time he was named MVP of the event. This also marked the first time a Warrior was awarded the title in 52 years; the last to win it was Rick Barry in 1967.
