Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry will likely always be known as the greatest 3-point shooter in the world of basketball, but over the past few days, there’s been some company on his corner.
Once Sabrina Ionescu set the WNBA world on fire over All-Star weekend with an historic performance in the 3-point competition, knocking down 25-of-27 shots and scoring an NBA and WNBA record of 37 points in a single round, it started to be asked whether she is as good a shooter as Curry.
That question is a bit tongue-in-cheek, obviously, but the suggestion of a shooting contest between the Oregon legend and the four-time NBA champion is certainly entertaining to consider.
Curry has apparently been considering it as well since watching Sabrina go wild on Thursday.

“We’ve got to settle that one for sure — who’s the best 3-point competition shooter,” Curry said on NBA Today over the weekend.
Tell me who wouldn’t tune in to watch that event, will you? Do we smell a pay-per-view event coming so that we can get to the bottom of this? I sure hope so.
