The year of 2015 was truly the coming out party for not only Steph Curry but the Golden State Warriors as a franchise. Curry won his first MVP award and the Warriors were on the brink of their first of five consecutive NBA Finals appearances, bringing the trophy home three times.
But that the MVP award and Larry O’Brien trophy weren’t the only hardware that Curry took home that year. Most importantly, Curry won the 2015 Foot Locker 3-Point Contest during All-Star Weekend.

To bring home the trophy, Steph had to outshoot the likes of Cavaliers All-Star Kyrie Irving and his Warriors teammate Klay Thompson. In the final round of the contest, Curry put on an absolute shooting clinic, scoring 27 points, including making 13 shots in a row at one point.
Other participants in the 3-point contest included Wesley Matthews, Kyle Korver, Marco Belinelli, J.J. Redick, and James Harden.

That was Curry’s first time winning the contest in his fourth time as a participant. Since then, he’s participated four more times, yet 2015 remains his only victory.
Curry will go for his second victory in the 3-point contest tomorrow night in Atlanta prior to the All-Star Game.
