Sabrina vs Steph was definitely the highlight of the weekend, nothing else even remotely came close
The whole 3 point competition was amazing. The order of it and Steph/Sabrina afterwards was perfect

@@w00deey12it's not pandering to tell it like it is without trying to put down a lady at every step 😉
I agree he’ll even the celebrity game was more entertaining than the actual game itself
@@jaysouthmusic8230The Celebrity game has been better than actual game for 2 years now.
They didn’t pick Steph to be a starter so he won it all with class and style to show who the real all around GOAT is
Whoever made that call, I need some of what you're smokin'. Because CLEARLY, it's that New Improved s#!t 💯
U mad glazing rn curry lucky to be a all star
@@DJKevvyKevCoolBreeze I like Steph but the nba got it right with the all star game. Both Shai Gilgeous Alexander and Luca Doncic are having a better season than Steph. Rightfully so, those two deserved to be the starters.
@@marcc.5535bruh if they have the better season then give them first team all nba ain't no way Steph is not the most popular gaurd in the league all star is a popularity contest
@@marcc.5535 TBH, there's no "right" answer. . .just givin' my perspective. I look at it like this: I don't care if Brian Scalabrine is having a better season than Jordan; I *know* who I'm starting in the All Star Game. It's that simple.
Dont forget the trio of Taylor, Green, and Barkley banter was the highlight of the All star game.
Basically any trio with Chuck is funny
I love this for Steph cuz they really disrespected Steph making him a reserve so he found a way to still get his attention he deserves as one of the greatest in the league. He’s playing chess
he disrespected himself with the warriors being 11th seed at the time and Fox having better stats then him.
@@Shortballa11did fox lose his best defender. Did his 2nd offensive option need to be benched? Did his 2nd best defender play so bad that the team is endlessly trying to find a trade for him?
@@Shortballa11 other way around...Warriors organization esp the GM disrespected Curry. Current GM tried going for LeBron and when they failed, they never went for any Plan B or C or Z. Everybody including your dog knows they needed a big man and they didn't get any SMH
@@KingGreqo none of that has anything to do with stats. That has to do with winning. Don't confuse my words.
@@healthytrollmeister2665You either have to have the winning or the stats. Curry has neither. Shai and Luka are averaging 30 plus points. So who did you want him to start over?
Steph and Sabrina changed ASW forever. Including the WNBA is genius.
did you watch the WNBA finals?
@@w00deey12
No, but I'm definitely tuning in next season just to see Sabrina play. Also Kaitlin Clark if she finally gets drafted.
Honestly never thought I'd be gearing up to watch the WNBA, but I've been peeping clips of Kaitlin going wild last year and Sabrina's insane 3pt contest record. Capping it off with this great performance at the NBA line with top 1 shooter himself? I can't lie, I'm excited to see more
This event saved all star weekend. Steph is a showman even as a reserve he come and showed out . We witness greatness 👏.
Steph Curry is the biggest draw. his game is the funnest to watch and he's the most exuberant of the stars with his playstyle
100% this wouldn't have been nearly as big if it wasn't the goat himself steph curry
@John-oo6px guys you know it's okay to give some props to the chick as well. The fact is she is the best shooter in the wnba. They were both the highlight. Yes ofcourse steph is the goat of shooting and yes sabrina is in the wnba with a smaller ball and a closer line. But she shot from the menss three. She did her thing. They were both the draw.
Perfect comment…
Let’s not forget it was Sabrina who issued the challenge to Steph. She basically saved All-Star weekend
The face of the NBA.
Steph is still the mian draw out of everybody at allstar weekend
the mian draw??
Not sure if Curry is the main draw considering all star votes. Curry wasn't even a starter this year
@@TaiAkinz the all star game was trash steph event was just better
@@TaiAkinzthe fan vote is only 50% now. Y’all using old metrics
@@KingGreqo my first comment was about Curry being the main draw which simply isn't true based on all star voting. LeBron, Jokic, Durant, Giannis, Doncic had more votes than Curry
Sabrina clears the men's 3 point contest
There where 2 rounds I believe four of them hit 26 and the second round only dame hit the 26 mark agian
Wnba ball tho lets not forget that lol
@@px000She also doesn’t play in or practice for competitive games using that 3 point line, so the muscle memory doesn’t have the same experience.
@@px000 She's not in season, and shot further away from where she is used to shooting. It more than evens out.
with a size 5 ball
Couldn’t have gone any better for the NBA
Sabrina showed she’s as good a shooter as the best in the league
But Steph showed he’s just that much better than the best
stop the cap
@@ubongabasi9110no he’s right numbers wise it’s ideal
The three-point contest is way better than the dunk contest now.
this was the best event on the weekend all star 💯 🔥
Next year there should be a combined skills competition. Definitely a combined 3 pt, let us see the ladies go through the rounds also. I think that would be epic.
did you watch the WNBA finals?
No offense but nobody cares about lady basketball 😂
She got to wrap her arms around Steph Curry and hold him, the other girls didn't, she happy.
Shes married bud stop reachin
@@klephenthurry3284being married don’t mean ish these days 😂
Ofc. He was her idol.
I know right!! I know that 😺was purring and on fire😂😂😂he's so gorgeous and sexy it's ridiculous🤦🏽♀😩😜
And then later the pound cityy
It absolutely was the highlight.
Steph always the highlight
& was. It was the moment of the night. But that Indy crowd was tough, they don't like nobody.😂😂
no the allstar game was just weak 😂
01:28 Great points here Sas, more NBA/WNBA crossover events would be awesome!
Pander : noun- someone who caters to or exploits the weaknesses of others
Nobody wants that lol
Dame is not an elite shooter. I mean percentage wise 😂😂
And why Steph beat everybody who entered in the 3-point contest🥱how you beat people you weren't even competing against!!!😭😭😭I bet Dame was like "Thank God he didn't come after us"😂😂😂💀
I want to see Steph vs Dame vs Sabrina vs Caitlin.
Surely going forward the 3 point comp becomes mixed ? It was fresh and new and will be great to watch.
100% it was awesome. I was watching it and screaming when Sabrina hit those last few shots. I wore a Green Apple Sabrina 1 and a Curry 3 Low. I loved it!
Also, yes she lost to the greatest shooter of all time but she STILL holds the record for the best 3 point contest performance 💯
from wnba 3pt range ok not man 3pt range and a smaller basketball so nope she dont hold the record for all genders
I believe it was very fun to watch I say, watching these two compete against each other. The All Star game was being played in slow motion I thought and was boring, lol. Everyone was hoisting 3’s it seemed like.
NBA x WNBA all star game collab contests are a good start
Definitely! ASG, dunk contest, even the 3pt contest were so boring to watch! It’s never the same All-Star Weekend like it used to be 😂
they're not gonna talk about that trash kenny smith was talking on saturday?
No because Kenny is one man…he isn’t Kobe or MJ…and what he said wasn’t outlandish. I mean Sabrina herself deicddd to switch 3pt lines.
I’m glad they didn’t tbh, that’d be the same as giving some of the bums in CZcams comment sections the time of day
Keep crying sjw
@@ClareAmelbum
burn @@Marcus-ge5lw
Absolutely agree
Steph is always must see tv
People just don't accept the fact that Curry is the greatest entertainer in NBA right now, you take away Curry out of NBA you loose half the fun. It was ridiculous for NBA to drop curry, I mean if they could pick Lebron then curry was equally deserving to be the starter.
And look at Doncic and A Edwards, so casual!! Just undervaluing the whole event!! Edwards shooting using left hand, I felt bad for the audience who paid lot of money and had to watch these casual players!!
Man they are tying hard lol. Will we ever see a dunk contest like this?
It was and I agree👍
These guys definitely prop up the nba Allstar WEAK-end, toeing the line. but this WAS the highlight the minute she cleared her first rack. It got real.
Pander : noun- someone who caters to or exploits the weaknesses of others
Lol
Still find it sickening that Kenny Smith would even utter that she should've shot from the WNBA line... she shot from the NBA line and still made 26!! Shooters shoot! Props to her. Hopefully next year, Caitlin Clark can get in on it.
3pt contest itself wasnt bad either but yeah loved this showdown
I was skeptical when I first heard about it, but she’s a phenomenal shooter and I really enjoyed it. They should do a Steph and Sabrina vs Dame and Caitlyn Clark next year
Watched basketball with my daughter for the first time, because she was interested in the contest. It was such a great idea. I had to admit, my son and I were rooting for Steph 😀
Yes it was
Well the all star weekend is in San Francisco next season so they’ll most definitely make sure Steph is starting and is an attraction
*The #1 event next year will be a 3 point contest with bad shooters. Give me Giannis, Rudy Gobert, Andre Drummond, and Ben Simmons. Winners gets to call themselves the best 3 point shooter (For the night)*
I bet on simmons 😂
Agree
This would have been a better competition with the same rules for both player...especially if ESPN will be commenting on the results, as if the rules were the same.
I mean what do you expect when you choose a freethrow merchant to start instead of THE Steph Curry
They should have done best of 2 rounds. She showed up amazingly well for 1 round winner takes all vs Curry!
Steph v Sabrina was the only event I watched live. I skipped the rest and glad I did. That was awesome to see her take on the greatest shooter in history and hold her own. Lot of people would crumble. I think Steph should participate in the WNBA all star events. Maybe he use the women’s ball to show that it’s not an advantage (I can’t shoot at all with a smaller ball). My respect to Sabrina grew a lot that evening. Steph and Klay v Sabrina and Caitlin in the Bay!
yup
Sabrina was in the WNBA finals, but you never even mentioned that......
This was better than the all star game to watch
This was the only part of the weekend. The rest is just hype.
She was awesome so was he
Disney was really trying to push for Sabrina to win. Disrespected steph
As soon as I watched Steph (🐐) and Sabrina, I turned my TV and didn't watch anything else not even the Allstar game. I watched the highlights of Steph is in the Allstar game and that was it🤷🏽♀No shade to the other basketball players because I have my favorites from other teams but Steph is the definition of "Must see TV" and I never get bored of him, I'm literally glued to the TV when he's on and I grew up as a kid watching Jordan but man Steph had made me start back watching basketball again because I quit once I started noticing all the rigging that was going on😂😂😂
Maybe we should now change the name from all star weekend to all curry weekend.
This is the only thing I watched 😂
Three point contest should now officially be WNBA and NBA combined. Sabrina might have won the general contest.
3 point competition was fire as a whole this year. Everything else was an embarassment.
Pander : noun- someone who caters to or exploits the weaknesses of others
Sabrina is definitely a sure fire hall of famer when all is said and done. She hasn’t even really got started yet and she’s already fire.
Steph and Sabrina saved the all star weekend
And then the All-Star game became a 3pt. contest 😆
We need Dame and Caitlin vs Steph and Sabrina
Sabrina pretty much shot better than all of the men in that 3 point contest shooting from their 3 point line. She represented the WNBA and she killed it.
If you’re not first, you’re last. She lost regardless.
Congratulations Curry is a Bad Man. Let's go Warriors
Sabrina made Steph Curry take him whole new level
I watched her entire college career at Oregon. I knew she would be a star in the WNBA. Sabrina is a baller.
A lot of wnba players seem cocky and delusional but Sabrina seem mad cool
Yep it was the highlight, I keep telling everyone that
It would have been fulfilling to much of the world's basketball fanatics if the 3 point shoot out was between sabrina and Leflop james. 😂🤣
This was the only fun part of the weekend 😉
Stephen Curry 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Let’s make wnba shooter complete with these nba players next yr
I doubt you'll find another All-Star that will do it.
SA has grown on me the last 1.5yrs. I thought he was just like all the other tv fakers. that's my bad. he's a real one.
Those WNBA players be driving Kia’s, they need this publicity, next year Steph vs Caitlin Clark from the logos!
Highlights of the weekend for me was watching obviously LeBron 👑🐐
After that the first thing I watched was their matchup but I was more interested what Sabrina will do not Steph.
if we do men vs women in the 3pt contest we should also do it in the dunk contest and all star game! that's equality!
That’s what’s funny about all these pansies advocating for this type of junk, and yes it’s complete junk. Women shouldn’t be competing with men in any form or fashion.
Did they use the same size ball? The WNBA is ball is smaller.
Sabrina is special, but Clark is showtime 🎇🎆
Clark Kent? Lol
Bro you trippin 🌚
I'm a Sabrina guy. It will be interesting to watch them go at it. The great Oregon teams never played the great Iowa teams because they are 4 years apart.
People are scared to look bad in the dunk contest, look at Steph man putting his reputation on the line for the betterment of wnba
It definitely was.
lol only thing that would’ve made it better is if they would’ve actually put Steph in the 3 pt contest and he would’ve had two dubs
bruh we all know steph didnt fully try he kept it close
He could have gotten a perfect score and it still would’ve been close, tf? We know you didn’t watch
@@ClareAmel 34 to 26 would've have been as close as 29 to 26
Aye i bet the other guys who competed in the 3pnt contest was lucky she didnt go 1v1 against them in a shootout lol
Win win for the wbna
It should’ve been 2 rounds at least.
Smaller ball makes it easier to make shots. Noones gonna mention that massive little fact?
Why we always have to compare women vs men. It’s not a competition. We need each other for the value each brings. Women will never be men and vice versa.
As long as they shoot from the same range and the same ball size, I dont care.. i dont think its a fair comparison since her ball is lighter .. equal should mean equal
Let Steph defend his belt next year against any challenger
Curry the greatest shooter of all time that GOD ever made, and the most entertained player in the NBA history..👊🙌👏
Dame’s 3point title don’t mean nothing this year 😂😂😂😂
It’s not his fault Steph rather beat a WNBA player then not be in the competition 😂
@@datsapaddlin stop lol Steph would destroy Dame
@@DM-rc9oz He probably woulda won but he chose to not be in it and take on a WNBA player for the woke crowd instead 😂. Dame faced other NBA players so you can’t take that from him because Steph wasn’t in it. Steph will go against Brittney Griner in a dunk contest next year I guess. Best shooter ever for sure though. Can’t take that from him.
But the question for me is why? Why create this narrative? It reminds me of when John McEnroe was asked if Serena was the best tennis player of all time. And he responded by saying "best female". Was chastised for months after that. This is in no way a sexist reference. Its just why.
I’m a guy and i think the qualification of ‘best female’ is dumb and unneeded, like it is telling her to ‘remember her place.’
When we look at boxing, we don’t look at greats like Mayweather and say, “but they’d still lose to a heavyweight.” We *know* that he would lose against a heavier opponent, AND we know he is one of the greatest for his size. I feel the same about Sabrina and the 3 pt contest.
@@jejo63660 That is what McEnroe said. He cannot in any way say that Serena is better than Federer or Nadal or Djokovic or Laver etc etc. But there was no need for the reporter at that time to ask McEnroe such a question.
It was a great show of her skill. And there's no reason why the women can't shoot it as well in this type of competition. You're just shooting, there's no one guarding you.
Then why didn’t she win even when curry was missing shots on purpose.
They'll keep re running it till she wins
If Sabrina ties or lost by only 1 or 2 points she would have won the competition
was that not the most pathetic all star weekend ever? man that was brutal. NBA start paying all-stars big $$ to participate and give a sh*t!!
No one else hit 29
No way, Sabrina definitely a better shooter she shot at a further distance that she never shoot in a game or practice before. She step up to the men's line and was still very close to Step record. I say Sabrina is a better shooter just not at the NBA line on a court she doesn't play in
Sabrina never hit 94/100 threes. Stop comparing women to men it’ll never work and she lost anyways. If you’re not first you’re last. No participation trophies.
@@makaveli3189 Sounds like u had a rough day
@@GazzaDazzle Sounds like you live in a fantasy realm. Wake up and join the normal people in reality
@@makaveli3189 haha, sounds like u r in a cult.
@@makaveli3189 Your comments are really funny thanks for the laugh, as in laughing at you.
They should just have WNBA players in the 3pt contest.
Sabrina used a SMALLER ball which is easier. I was very impressed until I found out. AND Stephen A, until that happens ya'll should tone down just a touch. Can we finally at some point give women equality? So it's a true comparison?
