LeBron James has never lost as team captain in the NBA All-Star Game. In the final moments in Cleveland, he made sure of it, rattling in a turnaround jumper at the right elbow to give Team LeBron the target score of 163 in a close victory over Team Durant.
But James had a fellow Akron-born superstar to thank for his fifth consecutive win in the league's annual midseason showcase.
Stephen Curry poured in a game-high 50 points -- 48 of those coming off the 3-pointer -- in a performance that earned him the Kobe Bryant NBA All-Star MVP award.
