New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu proved once again that she's the best shooter in the WNBA. Now, she has two 3-Point Contest titles to back up that claim.

Ionescu reclaimed the title that she first won in 2023 after beating Atlanta Dream guard Allisha Gray in the final round of the 2025 3-Point Contest. The Liberty sharpshooter scored 30 points in the finale, fueled by a streak of 11 straight makes.

The 27-year-old Ionescu also sank both her Starry balls from special distance, which accounted for three points each.

Meanwhile, Gray — who won the competition last year — finished with 22 points in the final round.

Naturally, after the win, many were quick to heap praise on Ionescu and celebrate her victory.

"A CHAMP ONCE AGAIN," the WNBA wrote to celebrate Ionescu's win, prompting several fan reactions. "Sabrina Ionescu takes home the 2nd @starrylemonlime 3-Point Contest title of her career!"

"Congrats,@sabrina_i20," the NBA wrote.

A fan added, "Congratulations." Another poster shared, "Well deserved! I knew she had it!! go Sab!!"

"SA-THREE-NA," a follower remarked. A commenter further stated, "Let's Go! Congratulations! Sabrina."

"THREE POINT QUEEN," a supporter described Ionescu.

As a result of her win, Ionescu also earned $62,575 in prize money — $60,000 from the WNBA’s insurance partner and sponsor Aflac and $2,575 from the league, as stated by the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

To make things better for Ionescu, her teammate Natasha Cloud won the Skills Challenge earlier and took home $57,575. The back-to-back victories meant that the Liberty swept the WNBA's All-Star Saturday events.
