Stephen Curry, Sabrina Ionescu to duel in NBA All-Star 3-point competition

The challenge’s roots date back to July, when Sabrina Ionescu shattered the WNBA — and NBA — 3-point shooting contest record, Stephen Curry followed a “RIDICULOUS” reaction on X with a challenge for the pair to compete and the Liberty star accepted.

At some point, when their schedules overlapped in a location with a basket and an arc and a method to track each of their makes behind it, there’d be a showdown.

That’ll happen six months later, when the NBA All-Star Weekend unfolds between Feb. 16- 18 in Indianapolis, and Ionescu and Curry, the Warriors star, will have a 3-point “shootout,” according to The Athletic.

“Let’s getttttt it!! See ya at the 3 pt line,” Ionescu wrote on X on Thursday night, adding an eyes emoji while tagging her opponent.

Curry, again, brought up the idea Thursday while wearing a microphone before the Warriors’ game against the Kings, testing Golden State teammate Brandin Podziemski about whether he knew who held the 3-point competition record.

“I think I gotta bring her out and be like, ‘We gotta settle this once and for all,” Curry told Podziemski.

Podziemski then said his agent Bill Duffy — who also represents Ionescu — told him a competition between the pair could occur during All-Star Weekend, though the details of the event still remain unclear after The Athletic’s report and the Curry-Podziemski conversation.

When Ionescu set the record last summer, she made 25 of 27 shots but insisted in an on-court interview that she “wasn’t sure how many I missed.”

Her 37 points topped the previous WNBA record of 30 (Allie Quigley) and the NBA’s record of 31, set by Curry and Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton.
