Stephen Curry ready to challenge… Sabrina Ionescu in the 3-point contest?

Not selected among the All-Star Game starters, a first in his career since he exploded in 2013/14 (excluding injury), Stephen Curry should, however, be retained among the replacements and make the trip to Indianapolis.

Especially since this All-Star Weekend 2024 could allow her to participate in something new: a confrontation with a WNBA player, in the person of Sabrina Ionescu !

Not in a traditional one-on-one, but in a 3-point contest of a new kind, and therefore mixed. “ I think I have to challenge her » formulated the double MVP to his teammate Brandin Podziemski, on the sidelines of this Thursday's match between the Warriors and the Kings (defeat).

The record man versus the record woman?

What Sabrina Ionescu replied immediately on social networks: “ Let's go! We find ourselves behind the 3-point line…”!

If Stephen Curry cares so much about “ settle this once and for all “, it's because the New York Liberty player has held the absolute record in a 3-point contest since this summer: 20 successes in a row, for 37 points at the finish! Enough to do better than Stephen Curry's 31 units in 2021 (and Tyrese Haliburton in 2023)…

As a good competitor, the leader of Golden State would therefore see himself participating in his eighth Three-point contest, he who has already won twice in the past: in 2021 of course, but also in 2015. See you on Next February 17 for the hat-trick, against (among others) Sabrina Ionescu?
