Steph Curry, on Trae Young and the All-Star Game:
"I told him after the game that it would all come back to him if he continues to approach the game the right way: play with joy, don't let it build any type of resentment just because he's not acknowledged."

Trae Young was excluded from the All-Star game of 2024 and Curry has shared his advice with the prominent point guard. According to Fadeaway World, Curry stated, “He has continued to get better and perform and (put up) his numbers. With the All-Star Game, there’s a lot that goes into it from the votes, from fans, media (and) coaches. It’s a competitive element, you know, at each position trying to be selected every year. I told him after the game that it would all come back to him if he continues to approach the game the right way: play with joy, don’t let it build any type of resentment just because he’s not acknowledged.”
“There are a couple of injuries in the East, and it might not be the way that he wanted to get in, but he’ll be there in Indiana and be represented… And like I said, if you continue to approach the game the right way, if you continue to work at your craft, if you continue to do what he’s doing, it’ll come back to him.”

Further continuing, “The year before I first made it, you get that snub tag, it’s kind of like a chip on your shoulder and it’s a motivator. He can use it, you know, that energy, but l’m sure he’ll be there.”
