Stephen Curry tops Sabrina Ionescu in 3-point shootout at All-Star weekend

Associated Press  

INDIANAPOLIS — Stephen Curry was on a roll — and it was barely enough to beat Sabrina Ionescu. The Golden State star and NBA’s all-time 3-point king beat Ionescu 29-26 in the Steph vs. Sabrina competition at All-Star Saturday night, the first such him-vs.-her event of its kind at the league’s weekend showcase. This is something we’ll remember for a long time.” Ionescu won the WNBA’s 3-point shootout at its All-Star weekend last year with a record 37 points, smashing Curry’s NBA shootout mark of 31 points. Given how the fans — and really, everybody from both the NBA and WNBA — seemed to love it, it likely won’t be the last time, especially since Curry and Ionescu talked afterward about adding partners to the mix next year when All-Star weekend just happens to be in San Francisco, the area where he plays and she calls home. “This is where I wanted to be.. It’s changed the landscape of how people view what we’re doing.” There’s no rivalry between the two, even though Curry heckled Ionescu during her rehearsal shooting session on Friday.
