Steph Curry Confidently Predicts How Challenge vs. Sabrina Ionescu Will Go

Steph Curry isn't taking WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu lightly ahead of the Stephen vs. Sabrina Three-Point Challenge competition on Saturday night, but the NBA's greatest shooter of all-time also has a great deal of confidence in himself. 

The Golden State Warriors star gave a matter-of-fact answer when asked to predict how he’ll fare in the contest.

“There’s only one outcome,” Curry said during an interview on NBA TV. “It’s that I win.” 

Curry also went on to praise Ionescu, who set the single-season WNBA three-point record last season.

“She’s unbelievable,” Curry said. “Unbelievable shooter, unbelievable player. It should be great for the game to have a little competition.”

Ionescu had nothing but praise for the Warriors guard.

"It's a blessing to even be in the same conversation as Steph and to be able to see how much he has respected me as a player and a basketball player and a person to want to come out here and do this," Ionescu said. "He wants to beat me. I can tell you that, he's not taking it easy. He was out there booing me as I was practicing yesterday and trying to get in my head."

Ionescu knows—and appreciates—that Curry will be bringing his A-game to the three-point challenge, and that's exactly what she plans to do.

Saturday night's contest should make for great entertainment, as well as a big moment for fans of the NBA and WNBA.
