Stephen Curry back to defend his three-point title
If only the dunk contest could pull in the stars like the three-point contest.
Stephen Curry will be back to defend his title at the Foot Locker Three-Point Contest and he'll be joined by teammate Klay Thompson and James Harden of the Houston Rockets.
The eight-player field also features All-Stars Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat and Kyle Lowry of the Toronto Raptors, as well as Devin Booker of the Phoenix Suns, Khris Middleton of the Milwaukee Bucks and J.J. Redick of the Los Angeles Clippers.
As part of All-Star Saturday night, the contest will be held at Air Canada Centre in Toronto.
Curry leads the league in three pointers made, as he has in each of the past three seasons. He is the first player to hit 200 or more three pointers in four consecutive seasons and is on pace to break his NBA record of 286 set last season.
Thompson is second in the NBA in three-pointers made and Harden is third.
On Jan. 20, Harden became the youngest player to reach 1,000 career threes made.
