The 2022 All-Star Weekend gave us several unforgettable moments – Cole Anthony’s free-throw line distraction, Scottie Barnes and Tyrese Maxey’s horrendous shooting contest performance, KAT’s incredible display to crown him the new 3PT Champ, the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team’s ceremony, Team LeBron grabbing the nail-biting win, among numerous others.
One of the many highlight-worthy instances from the fun weekend was a funny interaction between Michael Jordan and Stephen Curry. During the anniversary team’s ceremony, MJ stood behind Steph and for some reason, gently petted Curry’s head twice. The GSW leader as well as Magic Johnson seemed to have been amused by His Airness’ eccentrics.
Here, have a look at the incident in the clip below.

It actually seems like MJ transferred some of his powers to Curry. Moments after this incident with MJ, Steph proceeded to knock down 8 3-pointers in the next two periods of the exhibition game as he finished the night with 50 points.
