In a recent episode of "The Draymond Green Show," Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green shared his concerns about the upcoming NBA vs. WNBA 3-point challenge set to take place during All-Star Weekend. Green believes that both participants, his teammate Steph Curry and New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu, should be subject to the same rules.

Green acknowledged Ionescu's impressive record-breaking performance last year, where she missed only one 3-point shot. However, he pointed out that competing against the legendary Steph Curry on the big stage adds a different level of pressure and intensity.

The current rules dictate that Ionescu will be shooting from the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) 3-point line, using a WNBA ball, while Curry will shoot from the National Basketball Association (NBA) 3-point line, using an NBA ball. Green expressed his belief that Ionescu should also have the opportunity to shoot from the NBA line, as the additional three feet can make a significant difference.

Green argued that shooting from the NBA line would demonstrate Ionescu's confidence in her ability to match or surpass Curry's shooting prowess during the contest. Despite his opinion on the matter, Green mentioned that he is looking forward to the challenge and has faith in Curry's ability to come out victorious.

There is no need for Green to taunt or tease Curry, as his fellow Warriors teammate Klay Thompson has already done enough of that. Green firmly declared his support for Curry, referring to him as the "Greatest of All Time" (GOAT) and confirming his allegiance to the three-time NBA champion.

The NBA vs. WNBA 3-point challenge during All-Star Weekend will undoubtedly break social norms in sports and provide a unique platform to showcase the talent of both Curry and Ionescu. Whether the rules are adjusted to Green's suggestion or not, fans across the basketball world are eagerly awaiting this exciting contest.

Only time will tell who emerges victorious in this historic NBA vs. WNBA showdown, but one thing is for certain - Draymond Green is unequivocally rooting for his teammate Steph Curry.
