The Bay Area is buzzing with excitement after Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry dropped a bombshell during All-Star weekend that has fans dreaming of Splash Brothers magic once again.
Just before tipping off in Sunday’s All-Star game, Curry revealed a thrilling plan that could reignite one of the NBA’s most iconic rivalries—albeit in a friendly contest. “Steph Curry will return to the three-point contest in 2027,” ESPN announced on X/Twitter. “The two-time contest champ said he’s going to try to get Klay Thompson to compete, he announced on NBC.”
Curry, never one to hold back, made it clear he’s ready to lace up for another shot at glory, and bringing in his former teammate Klay Thompson would make it an unforgettable showdown. The duo, who formed the legendary Splash Brothers and helped deliver four championships to Golden State, could face off in what promises to be a must-watch event.
This announcement comes on the heels of Damian Lillard’s stellar showing in this year’s three-point contest. The Milwaukee Bucks guard edged out Phoenix Suns’ Devin Booker in a nail-biting final round, scoring 29 points to Booker’s 27. Despite sitting out the entire season so far due to an Achilles injury, Lillard powered through to claim his third title, joining legends Larry Bird and Craig Hodges in the history books.
Curry, with victories in 2015 and 2021 under his belt, is eyeing a spot on that elite list before hanging up his sneakers. But challenging Thompson—a career 40.9% three-point marksman—won’t be a walk in the park. Still, if anyone can turn this dream matchup into reality and etch another chapter in Warriors lore, it’s the greatest shooter of all time, Stephen Curry.
Warriors nation, get ready—this could be unreal in the Bay!
