Fans roasted Kenny Smith after he said Sabrina Ionescu should have had shorter 3-point line vs. Steph Curry

Stephen Curry in a one-on-one 3-point contest against WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu was the highlight of NBA All-Star Weekend.

Curry managed to narrowly defeat Ionescu, who was shooting from NBA range during the competition a Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. It was a competitive battle between two of the greatest shooters in the sport and it was thrilling to watch for the fans.

That is why it was especially disappointing when TNT’s Kenny Smith suggested that Ionescu should have shot the ball from the WNBA 3-point line.

Ionescu performed extraordinarily well, she just had the impossible task of going against Curry. Few people on the planet could have made it even half as competitive as she did.

So naturally, hoops fans roasted Smith for his immediate commentary about the shooting distance in the competition.
