Curry is literally going up against someone with no balls.

And has WAY bigger balls than Lebron. Even Jordan put himself out there to compete in a 3-point contest.

Curry has everything to lose from this - not really much, if anything, to gain - and he's doing it anyway. Much respect to him. A true competitor.

[1987_Lakers]

You have to be shitting me.

“Stephen vs. Sabrina” will follow standard STARRY 3-Point Contest rules. Curry will shoot from the NBA 3-point line with NBA basketballs, and Ionescu will shoot from the WNBA 3-point line with WNBA basketballs.

[Kblaze8855]

It's a fake contest. Put that shit on the NBA 3 point line.

there is absolutely no reason to put the woman at the greater disadvantage of shooting on a line that isn’t the one they play on. She did for the record say she is willing to do it because people want her at that disadvantage as if a shooter of Steph’s ability needs it but there is no rational reason to give either side home court advantage. They use a slightly different ball and shoot from the international line. Having One change the routine and shoot from where the other is comfortable is a greater rig than both doing what they always do.

you get used to what you practice. At this point, I suspect if the NBA changed to the international line everyone else uses players like Steph would still shoot from the same place. For an event that is just simulated practice?

Shoot where you normally shoot. Steph wouldn’t want to have people say he made the woman go outside her routine and take his shots.

She might do it but Steph of all people doesn’t need an advantage in a shooting contest. The extreme majority of basketball isn’t played in the NBA. There is no reason to use NBA rules in a shooting contest. If you had to go one or the other sticking to the worldwide standard would be more fair. The WNBA, euroleague, fiba, and ncaa all use the same one. The nba is the outlier. The outlier shouldn’t be the default in a contest across leagues.

[Real Men Wear Green]

You would pay $15 to watch such a stupid exhibition? Because I wouldn't. Everyone already knows that men are more explosive athletes and bigger. Who wants to watch a bunch of ladies getting dunked on? Why would any NBA rookie want to participate in that? Probably get talked about like they're hitting women.

[elementally morale]

Would be more interesting to me with alternating distances. It makes sense this way because it's what they practice but this way you can't really compare. If both shot from the other distance as well it would show more. I'm not sure Curry would do better from a shorter distance and I'm sure Ionescu's accuracy would seriously drop from the NBA 3pt line. It's some nice fun though and I see no reason why the girl can't win this.

[1987_Lakers]

This contest loses alot of luster with her shooting from a shorter distance. We saw 5 foot Kevin Hart who never practices almost beating Draymond in a 3 point contest, both shot from the same range, it was entertaining to see. This is just weak imo

[Kblaze8855]

If you think the greatest shooter of all time needs a woman to be disadvantaged by taking the shot he is comfortable with to be entertained by a shooting contest that’s your business but there’s nothing rational about it. Steph Curry doesn’t need a handicap in his favor. They should both shoot the shots they work on. She’s just getting pressure to come out and do a contest from a line only one league of thousands uses because frankly….a lot of people are idiots and insecure. She shoots on the world standard three-point line used by women and men. There’s absolutely no reason beyond wanting to rig it against her for her to go to the line only 400 people out of half a billion players uses.

You put them both on the standard line Steph would likely be more comfortable shooting from where he practices anyway.

If anything it shows Curry isn't insecure and has the balls to face possible humiliation. He's not going to get any respect for beating a girl, but if he loses you clowns will have a field day with it.

Unlike LeCoward who despite having GOAT athleticism never even participated in a dunk çontest against his own male peers.

If Steph does he wouldn’t want the advantage of the other side coming to his rules. Man or woman outside the nba they use the fiba/college line outside high school. The GOAT shouldn’t need anyone at the disadvantage of shooting his shots. And he shouldn’t shoot anyone else’s either.

Everyone shoot your usual shot. If he has one vs whoever the best in the euroleague it should be the same. Dont move Steph off his spot or anyone off theirs. If it’s me vs you from different leagues we can’t make the rules be only what either side is used to.

Steph would look shook even suggesting it. The best isn’t supposed to be demanding home rules advantage. And vs a woman?

Hed never do such a thing. He strikes me as a competitor.

Because WNBA is under their umbrella. They wouldn't let someone outside that umbrella participate. The dunk contest could be a lot better with outside competition but they're not going to allow that.

Hed never do such a thing. He strikes me as a competitor.

I don't think it would be asking for an advantage, it would just be an even playing field. If the problem is that the woman never practiced from NBA 3point range then they should both shoot from FIBA 3pt line or from WNBA 3pt line.

If they both agreed to a free throw contest would you have her shoot from the actual free throw line and ask Steph to step back and shoot from the top of the key?

At the end of the day people want to see who is the more accurate shooter from the same distance. If Steph had a shootout vs the euroleague best 3pt specialist they would both shoot from the the same agreed distance. Whether it would be called a 3pt in some league or a long midrange shot in the NBA is irrelevant for this comparison.

[Kblaze8855]

If you put them both on the same court, Steph would still shoot from further away. If he wanted to take the shot he worked on tens of thousands of times at least. If you actually enforced him moving off his spot…it would be a disadvantage to him. The corners would be the same but going around the top he’d be slightly off. A guy like him doesn’t shoot from as close as possible he shoots from where he’s comfortable. Especially in a glorified practice.

If it were free-throw contest, it wouldn’t be an issue because they both shoot the same free-throw(at .909 and .910 for their careers for the record). A 3 point contest is thousands of shots of practice taken from different spots.

I wouldn’t want Steph moved off his spot. If he had to step in and lost you know that would be used as an excuse. To be comfortable he’d likely set the racks up at his normal distance which would make the change irrelevant.

Steph goes out there lazily strutting around and grinning slyly, lookin “too cool for school” to let people know hes not taking it too seriously. He’ll shoot with half-ass form but still be low key trying to make them, but he’ll end up losing, and then he’ll continue to smile and shrug it off like it’s all good and he’s not embarrassed, even tho he clearly will be. In the post match interview he’ll be tempted to suggest he didnt really try, but he’ll know better than to actually say it, and he’ll pay some kinda lipservice about how hes not bothered at all, in fact proud to get his ass kicked by a woman.
