Event: 3-Point Contest

Winner: Stephen Curry

This year’s 3-Point Contest will be stacked with talented shooters. In all honesty, I could see almost any of the players competing in this capturing the win. However, I have to go with the hometown hero, Stephen Curry.

Curry is having a phenomenal shooting season. He is hitting an average of 5.1 3-pointers a game on an absurd 44.4 percent shooting from deep. This matches his best shooting season of all-time, the 2015-16 season when he nailed an NBA record 403 3-pointers.

Close behind Curry will likely be Joe Harris and Buddy Hield who are two of the purest shooters in the game today. I think both Harris and Hield will take this weekend as an opportunity to show off their talent and maybe earn some more fans.

Hopefully, this contest will come down to a battle between Steph and Seth Curry. These two brothers are going to be the first siblings to ever compete in the same 3-point contest and it would be a perfect ending to watch them face off in the final round.
