“That’s Not Fair”: Different Ball Sizes in Stephen Curry and Sabrina Ionescu’s 3-Point Contest Garners Scrutiny From NBA World

The All-Star weekend is set to happen from February 16th to February 18th, with the All-Star game scheduled for February 18th at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The All-Star weekend has captivated fans of the NBA for decades because of the amount of star quality on show during the weekend. The Dunk Contest, Skills Challenge, and the 3-point contest have become an integral part of the weekend.

However, the NBA has decided to provide its fans with something new and exciting this All-Star weekend. During the upcoming All-Star weekend, Stephen Curry will compete against WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu in a 3-point shooting contest, fulfilling a long-desired request from fans. But some fans think that the contest won’t be fair.

Fans voice their opinion about Curry vs Ionescu

There’s little doubt in any basketball fan’s mind that Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter in NBA history. However, many WNBA fans feel that the New York Liberty star, Sabrina Ionescu, could be better than Steph. The NBA has decided to put that debate to rest, as Steph will take on Ionescu in a 3-point shooting challenge this All-Star Weekend. However, the rules could be a little different for the two sharpshooters. According to Shams Charania, “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. Both will receive money for their charities.” And this did not go well with fans.

A fan going by the username of Hated voiced his opinion publicly through his X handle. He wrote, “That’s not fair.” Another fan also agreed with them, adding that she should play with NBA balls.

Meanwhile, this fan was also not happy with this and wondered what was the point of all this!

One fan had a justification that since both are similar in height, they should have the same level of playing field.

While another fan by the username of Mev wrote, “damn lowkey wanted her to shoot from the NBA 3 point line but this is gonna be fun regardless.”

A fan going by the username of The GM made has already picked Ionescu to win the contest. He wrote, “Sabrina gonna wash this clown with ease.”

Amidst all these objections, this fan had the best justification for this difference as they wrote, “Both are dominant from three in their respective leagues what’s not fair exactly?”

Another X user by the name of Bark Mellhorn also had the same viewpoint. They wrote, “Of course it’s fair, they’re both abiding by the rules of their respective leagues. It would be more fair if they didn’t?”

What are your thoughts on this? Do you agree with the league’s decision? Let us know in the comments!
