The Aflac bonuses are significantly more than the $2,575 the league offers its All-Star players and individual competition winners. Last year, Atlanta Dream guard Allisha Gray won both the 3-point contest and the skills contest and took home $110,000 in prize money from Aflac and $5,150 from the league.

As the WNBA descends on Indianapolis for the first city's first All-Star weekend, the Skills Challenge and Three-Point Competition are loaded with arguably the deepest collection of talent between the two events.

Gray is the reigning 3-point contest champion and she leads the league in 3-point percentage (38%) of players with at least 100 attempts, so she probably deserves a bit more respect here. But she's cooled off a bit recently, and I think the next player will be a little more motivated to have a good showing.

When Sabrina Ionescu takes the court for Friday night’s 3-point contest, she won’t be competing against just her fellow All-Stars. She’ll be chasing more history.

HOUSTON — 713 Day, Houston’s unofficial holiday, celebrations continued with a little help from the Rockets. The franchise sponsored a 3-point contest in downtown, bringing out fans and Hall of Famer and WNBA Legend, former Houston Comets powerhouse, Sheryl Swoopes.
