Steph Curry, Sabrina Ionescu to compete in All-Star 3-point contest

Stephen Curry, the NBA's all-time 3-point leader, and Sabrina Ionescu, the WNBA single-season 3-point record holder, will compete in a 3-point competition during All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis on the 17th. FEBRUARY.

This is the first time that an NBA and WNBA player will face each other in this type of competition, the NBA announced Tuesday.

The Warriors' Curry will shoot from the NBA 3-point line with NBA basketballs while Liberty's Ionescu will shoot from the WNBA 3-point line with WNBA basketballs.

Curry hinted at the possibility of a competition on January 25, when he was overheard talking to teammate Brandin Podziemski, saying he and Ionescu should compete.

It didn't take long for Ionescu to take to social media and accept the challenge.

Ionescu won the 2023 WNBA All-Star 3-point shootout, scoring 37 points on 25-of-27 shooting — the most in WNBA or NBA history.

Curry holds the previous record at 31.
