The matchup takes place after the Three Point Challenge and before the Dunk Tournament. NBA All-Star Weekend, a traditional event that brings together the main stars of American basketball for a weekend full of celebrations. Curry, considered one of the greatest shooters of all time, participated in the unprecedented event alongside her colleague, who has the highest marks in the competition for both men and women.
The rules were as follows: Each person had 1 minute and 10 seconds to throw 27 balls. There were 4 stations, with 4 common balls (worth 1 point) and 1 moneyball (which is worth 2 points). The 5th station consists only of money. The player could select which station would be rewarded with double dot balls only. Both threw from the same distance. Curry used NBA balls, while Sabrina used WNBA balls.
Respect between two of the best shooters in the world.

Then it was Curry’s turn. The Golden State Warriors star has chosen to leave his money to the last station, where it is precise. Even competing with a woman, he wouldn’t let go.
