Sabrina Ionescu's NBA All Star three-point shootout with Stephen Curry marred by Kenny Smith's 'condescending' commentary

ABC  

For the first time, All-Star weekend featured a shootout between WNBA and NBA superstars. It was a hotly anticipated showdown between the greatest shooter in NBA history, Stephen Curry, and Sabrina Ionescu, who set the record for the most threes made in a single WNBA season last year. But the moment after Curry's final ball ripped through the twine, the dulcet tones of commentator and former NBA star Kenny Smith sucked some air out of the moment. Sabrina Ionescu's score in her shootout with Stephen Curry equalled the highest score in this year's actual three-point contest. Ionescu's score equalled the highest tally in this year's official NBA shootout, won by Damian Lillard, and she said her performance from NBA distance hopefully changed some people's perceptions.
