Westbrook, Davis to headline Shooting Stars Contest
Even the ugly duckling of All-Star weekend will feature plenty of star power.
This year's Shooting Stars Contest will feature four teams, headlined by Golden State Warriors shooting guard Stephen Curry, New Orleans Pelicans forward Anthony Davis, Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook and two-time defending champion Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh.
Each team will be joined by a retired NBA legend and a WNBA star.
The teams are listed below:
| Team | Team Bosh | Team Curry | Team Davis | Team Westbrook |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NBA Legend | Dominique Wilkins | Dell Curry | Scottie Pippen | Penny Hardaway |
| WNBA Star | Swin Cash | Sue Bird | Elena Delle Donne | Tamika Catchings |
| NBA Star | Chris Bosh | Stephen Curry | Anthony Davis | Russell Westbrook |
Bosh's team is the two-time reigning champions, but the combination of the Curry lineage plus Sue Bird has to be considered the favorites in this contest. Dell Curry hit 1,238 3-pointers over his 17-year career, Bird is one of the best guards in the WNBA and Stephen Curry just exploded for 51 points on Wednesday.
