The best part of All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis was the 3-point shootout, where Sabrina Ionescu scored a score that would have sent her to the finals of the men’s 3-point contest, and then Stephen Curry came out and beat Stephen Curry. things.

This season, with the 2025 NBA All-Star Game in the house Curry built – the Chase Center in San Francisco – the plan is to expand on that, possibly bringing in Klay Thompson and Caitlin Clark, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Curry and WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu of the New York Liberty participated in the first NBA vs. WNBA 3-point challenge at All-Star Saturday night in February in Indianapolis. Curry and Ionescu are in intense discussions to return in a variation of the shootout, which could include other NBA and WNBA players such as Klay Thompson of the Dallas Mavericks and Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever, sources said .

The league must do it.

The league can move forward and turn Sunday’s All-Star Game into a four-team single-elimination tournamentwhy not? However, for nearly a decade, All-Star Saturday Night – along with the Dunk Contest and the 3-Point Shootout – has been the best part of the weekend. That’s when the stars show up and really try. If the league can develop the best players, that should be the priority.

We need Sabrina and Caitlin against Steph and Klay. This will be the runaway star of the weekend, and the league needs to make it happen.
