Stephen Curry and brother Seth to compete in three-point contest
The NBA released the field of participants for the 2019 All-Star weekend three-point contest, dunk contest and skills challenge.
Stephen Curry will face off against his brother, Seth, in their hometown Charlotte, North Carolina to headline the three-point contest. But they will have to take down the defending champion, Devin Booker.
Dennis Smith Jr.’s explosive hops will be returning to the dunk contest as he hopes to claim the title this time. The field of newcomers should make for an exciting performance.
