Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is as excited about his 3-point contest against New York Liberty ’s Sabrina Ionescu as the rest of us.
Curry and Ionescu will go head-to-head in a 3-point challenge during All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis on Feb. 17 in an NBA-WNBA competition that’s the first of its kind.
After the Warriors’ 119–107 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night, Curry was asked how he felt about the upcoming 3-point contest, and without hesitating he called it “the coolest thing ever.”
“[It’s] the coolest thing ever,” Curry said in a postgame interview. “I know she kind of broke the airwaves when she only missed two or something like that. I was on some golf course somewhere, my phone was blowing up saying what Sabrina had done.”
Last July, Ionescu easily beat the Seattle Storm ‘s Sami Whitcomb and Dallas Wings ‘ Arike Ogunbowale to win the 2023 WNBA All-Star 3-point contest. The Liberty sharpshooter scored 37 points on 25-of-27 shooting, the most in WNBA or NBA history.
