Three Point Contest

On Saturday, February 14, 2014, in Madison Square Garden, New York City. The 2015 All- Star break hosted the 2015 3- point contest. This contest had the leagues best shooter from behind the arc this season. The contest included Klay Thompson, Kyrie Irving, Weasley Matthews, Kyle Korver, Marco Belinelli(returning champion), J.J Redick, James Harden, and Stephen Curry. Stephen Curry won in the championship round against Cleveland point guard Kyrie Irving who had 17, and splash brother Klay Thompson who had 14. Curry won with 27 out 34. Curry hit 13 consecutive after missing his last money ball on the last rack off the contest. Curry holds the record of 272 3- pointers in a single season. Curry was asked if he had the contest won after his championship round and this is what he said, "Klay Thompson is behind me(in order of shooting), No way." Thompson went cold and by the fourth or fifth rack the trophy belonged to Curry. Afterward, Thompson tweeted that Curry is the "greatest shooter in the history of the game!"
