If the rumors are true, anybody who’s an NBA fan does not want to miss next year’s Three-Point Contest during NBA All-Star Weekend.
Steph Curry, arguably the greatest shooter the world has ever seen.
Damian Lillard,the reigning championwho’s won the competition three times.
After narrowly defeating Devin Booker and Kon Knueppel in the finals with a score of 29 — Booker had 27 and Knueppel finished with 17 — Lillard shared a screenshot of hisInstagram conversationCurry regarding next season’s competition.
“Next year…. Me, you, klay, book, and 4 more real shooters…” Lillard wrote.
“Yessir I’m in. Know Klay will do if I ask and book will be at home. Perfect setup,” was Curry’s response.
If the two stars have their way, they’ll be joined by Klay Thompson and Booker for next season’s competition.
Curry is the NBA’s all-time three-point leader with 4,233 made shots from behind the arc in his career. He revolutionized the game, forcing opponents to defend him once he crossed half court due to his shooting prowess. He holds five of the top six seasons for most threes made in a season, including an NBA record 402 (only player in league history to make 400+) in 2015-16.
If Curry is the “Batman of shooting,” then Thompson is Robin.
Teammates with the Warriors for 13 seasons from 2011-2024, the duo had been labeled as the best shooting backcourt in NBA history for their legendary run of four titles in eight seasons and rewriting the record books when it came to shooting from deep.
