Steph Curry officially has some competition from beyond the arc in the 3-point competition. On Friday night, New York’s Sabrina Ionescu took over the WBNA 3-point competition with a record-breaking performance in Las Vegas.
With the 3-point contest championship on the line, the former Oregon Duck caught fire from deep, scoring 37 out of a possible 40 points, shattering the WNBA and NBA record for most points in a 3-point shooting contest round. After missing her first shot from the corner, Ionescu ripped through the round, drilled 20 consecutive shots.
Following her championship performance, Curry took to Twitter on Friday night with a reaction. The two-time 3-point shooting contest champion called Ionescu’s performance “ridiculous” in a tweet.
