The 3-Point Contest at All-Star Weekend is typically an entertaining event, and this year was no different.
The event featured virtuoso shooting performances from both Devin Booker and Dame Lillard, and ultimately it was Lillard who came out victorious over Booker, despite the fact that he hasn’t played in a game all season after suffering a torn Achilles last season.
The contest delivered dramatics and entertainment. The only thing missing was the guy who is universally considered as the best shooter ever, Steph Curry.
Curry has won the contest twice before (2015 and 2021), but he didn’t participate this year. The rest of the field won’t be so lucky next year though, as Curry vowed to return to compete in the contest in 2027 and bring some friends with him.
"One hundred percent," Curry said of his participation. "I already scheduled it. We're gonna bring some people. Me, Dame [Damian Lillard], I'm gonna try to get Klay [Thompson], Dev [Devin Booker]."
With two wins to his name, Curry needs one more win in the contest to enter a tie for the most all-time with Lillard, Larry Bird and Craig Hodges. All three of those guys won the contest on three separate occasions.
Curry's participation would immediately make the event a must-see. No one wants to miss an opportunity to see a master at his craft.
