Stephen Curry and Sabrina Ionescu are set to go head-to-head at the NBA's All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis on February 17. The highly anticipated event, currently being referred to as "Stephen vs. Sabrina," will mark the first-ever NBA vs. WNBA 3-point challenge.
The matchup will take place between the NBA's 3-Point Contest and Slam Dunk Contest on All-Star Saturday Night. Months of preparation have led up to this momentous occasion, where these two shooting stars will compete in a final showdown.
In 2023, Ionescu issued a challenge to Curry for a shooting contest on X, formerly known as Twitter, and Curry eagerly accepted. The contest will follow standard 3-Point Contest rules with a slight twist. Curry will use an NBA ball and shoot from NBA 3-point lines, while Ionescu will use a WNBA ball and shoot from WNBA 3-point lines.
Along with that, each shot made by both players will contribute to raising funds for "economic empowerment in the Black community." A regular 3-pointer will be valued at $1,000, a money ball at $2,000, and a "STARRY Range Ball" – a deep shot worth three points – at $3,000.
