Several reports suggest that the NBA is currently trying to recruit Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Caitlin Clark, and Sabrina Ionescu for the three-point contest.

The NBA All-Star Weekend presents the perfect opportunity for the Indiana Fever star to show off her skills to a larger audience. It goes without saying that if Clark participates, she will also get to go head-to-head with Curry, who is widely regarded as the greatest shooter ever.
Ionescu was also asked about coming back to the NBA for another competition. The New York Liberty star responded by saying that she would like to team up with Caitlin Clark if the NBA opts for a 2v2 three-point contest this year. Curry is the all-time leader in three-pointers made and is celebrated for revolutionizing the game. Meanwhile, Klay Thompson is also said to be one of the greatest shooters to ever grace an NBA court.
