Move over Stephen Curry and Larry Bird, there’s a new three-point master in town, and her name is Sabrina Ionescu.
With a stellar showing in the 2023 WNBA 3-Point Contest, Ionescu, ahead of her second All-Star appearance, took home the crown as this year’s three-point champion following a historic final round performance.
After advancing with a 26-point first round, the Liberty star scored an astonishing 37 points (out of a possible 40 points) in the final round, setting the all-time, single-round record in both the WNBA and NBA.

Watch Sabrina Ionescu put on a show during the WNBA’s three-point contest
Sabrina Ionescu just made history during the WNBA’s three-point contest.
The New York Liberty star advanced to the finals of the WNBA’s three-point contest after putting up a solid 26 points in the opening round, and she was joined in the finals by Arike Ogunbowale from the Dallas Wings, and Sami Whitcomb from the Seattle Storm.
But in the finals, Ionescu put on an absolute show, and she left no doubt about who was taking home the hardware.
Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is well-known for his three-point range on the basketball court. Day after day, game after game, the four-time champion and two-time MVP wows fans with his ability to score, no matter how far away he is from the basket.
But on Friday, Curry reminded his supporters that his magnificent range isn’t exclusive to the hardwood, but also something he’s developed on the golf course.
Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins offered an honest perspective on Thursday regarding his take on being overlooked by teammate Justin Jefferson on his list of the top-five quarterbacks in the NFL.
A clip of the star receiver from a recent trip to Brazil as an NFL ambassador went viral earlier this month after Jefferson tabbed, in order, Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen as the game’s best QBs.
During an appearance on KFAN-FM 100.3’s The Power Trip, Cousins was asked if it bothered him that he was excluded from Jefferson’s list.

Ware is in Lake Tahoe this week for the American Century Championship. Following his opening round, he provided insight into his HOF news.
DeMarcus Ware is one of 95 celebrities participating in the American Century Championship in South Lake Tahoe, Nevada at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course.
Despite struggling on day one Friday, he couldn’t help but keep a smile on his face. And why not. He is about to be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame August 5th.
Trevor Bauer didn’t take the usual path to playing in the Nippon Professional Baseball league.
Usually, former Major League Baseball players make the transition as their talent wanes with age or poor performance.
Bauer though, went to Japan because MLB teams were scared off by potential U.S. media criticism.
Even though he’s faced no charges, repeatedly denied wrongdoing, and was reinstated by the league, no domestic teams showed interest.
The Yokohama DeNA BayStars though, jumped all over the opportunity to bring in a recent Cy Young winner.

Leeds United has added another big name to its ownership group.
Clippers point guard Russell Westbrook confirmed that he is investing in the English football club, joining golf stars Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas. The three athletes will invest in 49ers Enterprises, the San Francisco group that became a shareholder in Leeds in 2018.
In June, Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani sold his shares of the team to the 49ers Enterprises after owning the club since 2017.
WHAT A THROW!

This all seems fair. It appears this march, or parade, or whatever was intended to be a water event because dozens of balloons are being thrown onto the street. I just don’t think Mike Pence thought he’d be clocked in the dome by a fastball like this.
Seriously, this takes a lot of skill.
