Ionescu, a four-time WNBA All-Star, continues to cement herself as one of the best players in the game, especially after helping take the Liberty to a championship last season. Becoming just the second player in league history to win multiple three-point contests is incredible, and the sharpshooter even paid homage to the greatest shooter in basketball history after her win.
On Friday night, Ionescu made a post on Instagram with her three-point contest trophy, as she did the "night night" celebration, paying respect to Golden State Warriors legend Steph Curry.

After her win on Friday, Ionescu also brought up how the last time she was in a three-point contest in Indianapolis, she lost to Steph Curry in a one-on-one battle, so she had to "redeem" herself.
"The last time I was here in Indy against Steph [Curry], I lost. So, I feel like I had to come back to redeem myself," Ionescu said.
