Sabrina Ionescu Repeats 3-Point Contest Dominance

The 2025 WNBA 3-Point Contest was won by Sabrina Ionescu, the New York Liberty's face and shooting guard, who once again lived up to her reputation. She returned with ice in her veins after making a record in the event back in 2023, scoring 28 points in the last round to defeat strong rivals from all over the league.

Ionescu has won two 3-point titles in her career, establishing her standing as one of the league's strongest perimeter players.

After winning, Ionescu stated, "I love this event—it's just you, the ball, and the basket." "Representing New York and showing our talent to the audience is always an unforgettable experience.

Natasha Cloud Steals the Spotlight in Skills Challenge

Liberty comrade Natasha Cloud arrived at the Skills Challenge with her signature precision and extent, not to be outdone. In an extremely talented field, Cloud made almost flawless passes, displayed water dealing with, and sunk shots with ease. She finished the course in a blazing time that guaranteed her victory.

Cloud won her first Skills Challenge, but her composure and poise gave the impression that she had spent her whole career training for this moment.

"I simply wanted to enjoy myself and compete fiercely," Cloud stated. "The main goal of All-Star Weekend is to win this for the Liberty and perform with Sabrina."

A Big Moment for the Liberty Franchise

The Liberty as a team had a historic weekend, with Ionescu and Cloud both taking home the top prizes. On one of the league's greatest stages, the team, which has been assembling a championship-contending roster, saw its skill and hard work acknowledged.

The Liberty's growing power, not just in regular-season rankings but also in individual excellence, caught the attention of both fans and spectators.

While in attendance, Liberty head coach Sandy Brondello remarked, "This is what building a winning culture looks like." "These players put in so much work, and it's fantastic to see them rewarded in this way."

Eyes on the Playoffs

Both Ionescu and colleagues and Cloud will return their focus to the regular season—and ultimately the playoffs—after the All-Star festivities come to an end. The confidence the Liberty got during All-Star Weekend may give them an additional push going into the second half of the season, since they are still among the top candidates for the WNBA championship this year.

Thanks to the genius of Sabrina Ionescu and Natasha Cloud, New York won the 2025 WNBA All-Star Weekend. In addition to being individual victories, their victories made a strong statement about Liberty's ascent in the league.
