Steph Curry and Sabrina Ionescu to settle debate over basketball’s best three-point shooter at All-Star Weekend

Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry and New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu are set to go head to head in the very first NBA vs. WNBA three-point contest later this month.

The battle between the sharpshooters will be held on February 17 at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis during All-Star Weekend and will be aired live on TNT.

Both players are well-known for their scoring abilities from deep and will finally be able to settle a long-running debate.

The pair had called each other out earlier this year and now the stage is set to find out which player is the best three-point shooter in basketball.

Curry is a two-time NBA three-point contest champion and holds the league’s record for most three-pointers made (3,585).

However, in 2023, Ionescu set a WNBA record for most three pointers in a single-season (128). She also set a WNBA and NBA all-time record in the three-point contest last season, recording 37 points out of a possible 40.

“I think I gotta bring her out, we gotta settle this once and for all,” Curry was heard saying when mic’d up during a game on January 25.

“Let’s getttttt it!! See ya at the 3 pt line,” Ionescu replied on X, formerly known as Twitter.

As part of the contest, both Curry and Ionescu’s respective charities will receive a donation from the NBA and WNBA. The pair will also have a chance to raise money for the NBA Foundation, which aims to further economic empowerment in the Black community, with each regular shot worth $1,000, every money ball $2,000 and a special 29-foot-9-inch three-pointer called the “STARRY Range Ball” worth $3,000.

According to the official release, Curry was to shoot NBA balls from the NBA three-point line, while Ionescu was supposed to use the WNBA equivalents – the line is a little closer and the ball is slightly smaller.

But, confident of her abilities, Ionescu said she wanted to level the playing field.
