Warriors’ Steph Curry Looking Forward to Facing Klay Thompson in NBA Three-Point Contest Soon

If anyone had any doubts, Steph Curry again proved why he is the greatest shooter of all time. Curry took part in this year’s three-point contest and won the entire thing.

Curry defeated several excellent three-point shooters in the league, including Donovan Mitchell, Jayson Tatum, and Jaylen Brown. But Curry looks forward to taking on another three-point expert next time – his teammate, Klay Thompson.

Steph pays tribute to Klay

Steph Curry spoke to the press after the All-Star game and the three-point contest, where he emerged victorious in both events. Curry noted that he wants to face Klay Thompson in next year’s three-point contest and talked about how much he missed him going into the contest. Furthermore, he was happy the trophy was back with the Splash Brothers.

“We had a couple of battles back and forth. Anytime you shoot in this environment you cant think about how much fun Klay would have out there. I know he is trying to get healthy and he’ll be here next year. Bringing the trophy back, obviously the splash brothers bringing it back. I think it is in its rightful place now, we’ll keep it from here.”
