This year's All-Star weekend is a special one for basketball's most famous family. Both Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry and Portland Trail Blazers marksman Seth Curry, his younger brother, were selected to participate in the three-point contest. Their father and longtime NBA player Dell Curry also took part in the All-Star festivities, shooting his way around the arc with other retirees in an honorary round of threes that benefited charity. And maybe most importantly, Charlotte is hosting this weekend's event, where Stephen and Seth spent their formative years due to his father playing for the Hornets.
All that nostalgia still wasn't enough for the only Curry to win back-to-back MVPs, though. After he and his brother came up a bit short in the MTN DEW Three-Point Contest, Curry re-emerged in his courtside seat at Spectrum Center donning an oversized, neon-colored windbreaker inspired by the early 1990s – literally.

Yes, that's little Stephen Curry in the top half of the image above, sitting on his dad's lap next to a young Mitch Richmond and the late, great Drazen Petrovic during the 1992 three-point contest. The Chicago Bulls' Craig Hodges, tied for the all-time lead with three shootout victories, beat the older Curry and his other competitors 27 years ago.
Stephen and Seth didn't exactly live up to the hype of the brother versus brother narrative on Saturday. The Warriors star held up his end of the bargain, finishing second to the Brooklyn Nets' Joe Harris in the final round, but Seth disappointed, totaling just 16 points in his first and only turn.
