NBA 3-Point Contest: List of winners

The NBA 3-Point Contest has been a fixture of All-Star Weekend for decades, playing host to some iconic moments over the years.

The event is always held on the Saturday of All-Star Weekend, the night before Sunday’s All-Star Game and sandwiched in between the Skills Competition and Dunk Contest.

Year after year, the league’s top 3-point shooters grace the competition to see who can earn the crown. Unsurprisingly, the NBA’s best shooters – from Larry Bird to Stephen Curry – are multi-time winners of this event.

Let’s take a look at a full list of 3-Point Contest champions over the years.
