"Ik Steph told Ayesha get them feet ready": NBA fans stunned as Steph Curry comes close to losing against Sabrina Ionescu in 3-point contest 

2024 NBA All-Star - State Farm All-Star Saturday Night
NBA fans stunned as Steph Curry comes close to losing against Sabrina Ionescu in 3-point contest

Steph Curry won in his 2024 NBA All-Star 3-point contest against Sabrina Ionescu by a close margin on All-Star Saturday night. Ionescu went first and started hot, knocking her first seven consecutive shots. She finished with 26 points.

Meanwhile, Curry started slow and had his fans worried. He took it to the last rack and beat Sabrina's total with seven seconds left with one attempt left. He finished the contest with 29 points, nearly breaching his 31-point record in the 3-point contest.

Many had predicted Curry to win, but Sabrina had solid support, too. She took the challenge of shooting from the NBA 3-point line, despite staying away from in-game action since the WNBA season ended in October 2023. Sabrina arguably exceeded expectations, but Curry wasn't letting this one slip with his clutch performance in the final stages.

Fans were stunned with how the outcome went down for this highly anticipated one-of-one contest. One fan hilariously revisited Ayesha Curry revealing Steph Curry's "foot fetish," tweeting:
