Stephen Curry will be competing in his fourth Three-Point Contest having lost the last three competitions (2010, 2013, 2014). This is Klay Thompson’s first time competing in the Three-Point Contest

Marco Belinelli is the defending Three-Point Contest champion (2014), and Kyrie Irving was the preceding champion (2013)

Curry currently holds the record for most made threes in a season (273). He’s also 6th in career 3-pt shooting percentage.

Kyle Korver holds the record for most consecutive games with a three-pointer (127), as well as the record for highest three-point percentage in a season (53.6), a record previously held by Warriors head coach and 1997 Three-Point Contest Champion, Steve Kerr. He’s 7th in career 3-pt shooting.
