DAVAO CITY – Golden State Warriors sharpshooter Stephen Curry and Phoenix Suns star point guard Devin Booker leads the list of participants in the National Basketball Association 2021 All-Star three-point contests at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta on March 7.
Curry the winner of the contest in 2016 will have his hands full against first-time NBA All-Star Booker who also won the same contest in 2018.
Aside from the two also joining the three-point contest this year is Utah Jazz star playmaker Donavan Mitchell Chicago Bulls star Zach Lavine, and Boston Celtics dynamic duo Jayson Tatum and Jalen Brown.
The NBA earlier said the NBA three-point contest will be done before the NBA All-Star game.
Some sectors lobbied that the three-point and dunk contest will be scrapped this year due to the pandemic.
But the NBA decided to proceed with the events since they are two of the premier side events of the NBA-All-Star game.
The NBA All-Star games feature the best players from both East and Western conferences who will play for the bragging rights as the best conference in the NBA.
Some of the NBA superstars expected to play in this year’s All-Star game are Los Angeles Lakers superstar forward Lebron James, Curry, and Brooklyn Nets veteran forward Kevin Durant. (Romeo Braceros Jr.)
