If you're watching your first NBA All-Star game, you've probably already noticed that not a lot of defence is played throughout the game, and for good reason.

The fans want to see the best players in the world put on a show, and they do so by shooting with reckless abandon, tossing alley-oops to one another and not playing defence.

No player exemplified this fact more than Stephen Curry, who hilariously avoided getting dunked on by Giannis Antetokounmpo in the third quarter by taking cover.

Unfortunately for Curry, he was dunked on by Giannis shortly after.

 

 

Should've stayed on the ground, Steph 😳

At least Curry tried to box him out.  That's probably the most defence we've seen attempted in the game.
