In what will probably be the first of many events like this, Stephen Curry and Sabrina Ionescu WNBA's best shooter, face up in a 3-point shootout that went sensational. Sabrina shot from NBA three-point distance, despite what was previously announced.
Stephen Curry and Sabrina Ionescu put up a remarkable show in each turns. Sabrina Ionescu earned the right to be competing against the best shooter in NBA History based on her own accomplishments. Ionescu broke the record of points in a three-point contest on last WNBA All-Star Three-point shootout with an astonishing 37 points. With this, she got the attention of all basketball world.
Ionescu shot with the WNBA ball but, but shocked everyone by wanting to shoot from NBA three-point distance. She didn't let down anyone, shooting brilliantly, scoring an incredible mark of 26 points, the same that Lillard needed to secure the NBA three-point contest a few minutes prior.
Her performance was out of this world, especially if we consider that this is a professional athlete that practices and shoots everyday at a different distance. Truly remarkable for Sabrina and major recognition to the WNBA.
Steph did what he does best, he shot the ball almost perfectly but missed the "money shots", so he must've felt the pressure of tying Ionescu, knowing that he needed to six almost all the shots he had left.
Finally, Steph ended up with 29 points, which was a record for all Saturday Three-point events. Curry continues making history.
Brilliant idea from the NBA executed to perfection by these two long-range snipers.
STEPH CURRY WINS THE FIRST-EVER NBA vs. WNBA 3-POINT CHALLENGE 🐐
