Sabrina Ionescu accepts Steph Curry’s 3-point challenge 

Post#1 » by Twinkie defense » Fri Jan 26, 2024 11:56 pm

Ionescu scored 37 points in the WNBA’s 3-point contest last summer, besting Curry’s 31 points. The 37 points is an all-time record for both the WNBA and the NBA.

“Do you know who holds the record for the most points in a 3-point competition?” Curry asked his teammate, who answered correctly.

I think I’ve got to bring her out,” he continued. “We gotta settle this once and for all.”

Ionescu later responded to the call-out, writing on social media that she accepted the challenge.

“Let’s getttttt it!! See ya at the 3 pt line,” she wrote.

If you had the choice...who do you start at SG? Klay or Lonescu?

Well 2 reasons:

1, Sabrina had the best 3pt contest performance ever for the WNBA.. 3pt winner vs 3pt winner

2, and the one that carries the most weight, Clark is still in college. I dont know how NIL works and all, but I think there's some legal tampering issue with college players doing NBA/WNBA stuff

Don't really talk much about it here because I dont think most fans would, but the WNBA has some stars coming into the league.. I cant wait for the SF team. I fully expect them to draft Jayda Curry too :nod:

Yea I get it but just feels like Caitlin is a bigger draw than Sabrina even though she’s in college.
