Description

The 2019 NBA Three-Point Contest in Charlotte is centered on a massive homecoming for Stephen and Seth Curry, who grew up in the city while their father, Dell, played for the Hornets. Stephen enters as the heavy favorite to win his second title, but the field is stacked with elite talent including defending champion Devin Booker, Damian Lillard, and Buddy Hield. A sentimental favorite is also in the mix: Dirk Nowitzki, who is participating in his final All-Star weekend before retirement, looking to recapture the magic of his 2006 victory.

Result Description
Joe Harris of the Brooklyn Nets pulled off a massive upset to win the 2019 Three-Point Contest, defeating hometown hero Stephen Curry in the final round. Harris was nearly perfect in the finale, starting the round by hitting his first nine shots and finishing with 26 points. Curry, who started the round by making ten consecutive buckets, went cold in the middle racks and finished with 24 points, failing to catch Harris on the final rack.

In the opening round, Curry led all scorers with 27 points, while Buddy Hield (26) and Harris (25) secured the other spots in the finals. Defending champion Devin Booker and local legend Dirk Nowitzki were eliminated early, though Nowitzki received a standing ovation from the Charlotte crowd after a respectable 17-point performance. Harris’ victory marks the first Three-Point Contest title in Brooklyn Nets franchise history.
