To no one’s surprise, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry won the NBA’s 3-Point Contest on Sunday, defeating a crowd of competitors that included Celtics Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
What may have been a little surprising, however, was how close Curry — widely considered the greatest 3-point shooter in NBA history — came to losing. Curry’s run came down to his final shot — a money ball worth two points. Curry trailed Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley 27-26 as he fired up his final shot, but he calmly buried it, then pumped his fist.
