Curry edged out Ionescu in a masterclass of shooting, sportsmanship and respect
Stephen Curry #30 of the Golden State Warriors participates in a 3-point challenge against Sabrina Ionescu #20 of the New York Liberty during the State Farm All-Star Saturday Night at Lucas Oil Stadium on Feb. 17, 2024 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

“I think a night like tonight shows a lot of young girls and young boys that if you can shoot, you can shoot,” Ionescu, a Walnut Creek native, said on TNT. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a girl or boy, it just matters the heart you have and wanting to be the best that you can be.” Any number of fairly admirable, fairly likely motivations could then be reasonably projected onto Curry. He cares about growing the women’s game. He wants to be a role model for both boy and girl ballers. He’s doing the NBA, ever-interested in synergy, a solid by lifting up its sister league and adding a signature event to an All-Star Saturday that has gone stale.
Before the match, each shared pleasantries and introduced their charity foundations. The contest was not just a show of sportsmanship but of philanthropy. It was all about positivity, not conflict and animosity.
