In this behind‑the‑scenes YouTube clip, Stephen Curry and several backstage crew members riff on a range of topics while preparing for the 2026 NBA All‑Star Weekend in Los Angeles. The conversation opens with Curry examining the new All‑Star edition of Klay Thompson’s 11th signature shoe and Kyrie Irving’s All‑Star shoe, noting material changes, embedded career statistics (championships, All‑Star appearances, points, three‑pointers) and the visual design elements such as gold medals and the "W" for Wardell. The group then drifts into light‑hearted banter about snacks (Gummy Bears, Sour Patch Kids), random trivia (Vietnam War presidents, U.S. presidents’ names), and a name‑guessing game involving a fictional "Bubba Buford Brown" character. Mid‑segment, a crew member provides a quick fitness demo, measuring Curry’s heart‑rate recovery from 170 bpm down to 103 bpm in two minutes, highlighting his conditioning. Curry wraps up by reflecting on his role at his 12th All‑Star Weekend—he’s not playing but enjoys the festivities, cheers for Team Stripes/USA, and thanks viewers for tuning in. The clip blends product commentary, casual humor, and a brief performance‑related metric, offering a candid glimpse into the atmosphere behind the event.

The W, the Wardell, Stephen Curry, and then the 4 on there, obviously. This is when he was making fun of me for just showing up to the Olympics for the last 2 years. Kyrie's All-Star shoe. I like this, all the cities that he made All-Star Game with. Los Angeles, New Orleans, Atlanta, Salt Lake City, Charlotte, Houston, Cleveland, New York. He's the bad boy.

Bubba Buford Brown. Benjamin. Benjamin Buford. Oh my gosh, I knew it! Benjamin Buford. Brown. You're actually on the right track. Buford. Blue. Blue! [APPLAUSE] That is how the team works. That was good. Forrest Gump's mom always said, "Life is like chocolate. You never know what you're gonna get." Whoa, who said what? Right over here, to your right, right over here.
Hold on, we got to raise our hand.
That jersey is one of the better. I love it. I love it.
Good 30. Keep that breathing. So 2 in, 1 out. So 170 as a hard drill. So he's at 146. So down 24 in the first minute. So you see, his 2-minute heart rate recovery He went from 170 to 103. So he's back in the zone where he can function. So that 2 minutes, 2 minutes, if you think of like a timeout, if you think about free throws, he's, look, he's in the blue zone. Most people, they can't recover. So this is indicative of his fitness, not just his ability to go, but his ability to recover. It's an amazing tool. And then, I mean, Obviously we ease into it, but I'd say 50 minutes of work.
All right, 12th All-Star Weekend here in LA, 2026. It's been an interesting one knowing I'm not playing in the game, but we've had a great time. GOAT's out. Unanimous party. You know, getting ready to get back on the court, getting this work in while I can. So appreciate y'all tuning in. I'm gonna have as much fun at the game as I can, though I'm not playing. But let's go, Team Stripes. USA all the way.
And the Stripes claim game 2.
They went in though. They went in. They went in. 100%.
