Sabrina Ionescu and Stephen Curry are set to face off in the Stephen vs Sabrina 3-Point Challenge in an upcoming event. During the All-Star weekend, all eyes will be on these two athletes as they compete on the court. Just before her highly anticipated showdown with the NBA’s legendary sharpshooter, Ionescu made an appearance on SiriusXM Radio to share the story of her victory over Curry in a game of HORSE.
Ionescu revealed that her game against the Golden State Warriors’ star point guard came down to trading half-court shots until one emerged as the winner. Both players successfully made four shots, but it was Curry’s miss on the fifth shot that sealed Ionescu’s win. During her interview on SiriusXM Radio, Ionescu was asked if she had ever faced off against NBA players in shooting contests. She then shared an encounter where she engaged in a shooting showdown with none other than Stephen Curry.
In the Stephen vs Sabrina 3-Point Challenge, both Ionescu and Curry will take aim from the NBA’s three-point line using NBA basketballs. It is worth noting that Ionescu was initially scheduled to shoot from the WNBA’s three-point line with WNBA basketballs, adding an intriguing twist to the competition. This updated format will test Ionescu’s skills in this new setup.
Before the All-Star Break, Curry expressed his support for Ionescu and chose her as his pick for the inaugural NBA vs. WNBA 3-point contest. He praised her as the “Bay Area’s finest” and showed his unwavering commitment to his choice. Despite Thompson’s shooting slump throughout the season, both Curry and Thompson maintain their competitive spirits. Curry emphasized the importance of continuing contests like this, as they showcase the competitive spirit regardless of individual performance. Ultimately, it’s a win-win situation for all involved, regardless of the outcome.
