Last year’s winner

The 2022 3-point contest marked a first in the history of the competition, with Minnesota Timberwolves’ Karl Anthony-Towns becoming the first center to win the shootout. Towns outlasted both Luke Kennard and Trae Young in the final round, finishing with 29 points and ensuring neither Kennard nor Young had a chance to tie or beat him with their final make. He became the tallest winner since seven-footer Dirk Nowitzki back in 2006.

Notable previous winners

This year’s competition will feature a returning champion after Hield won the contest back in 2020. Curry, widely regarded as the greatest shooter of all time, unsurprisingly has hoisted the hardware twice, first in 2015 and again in 2021. He joins Jason Kapono (two-time winner), Peja Stojakovic (two-time winner), Jeff Hornaceck (two-time winner), Mark Price (two-time winner), Craig Hodges (three-time winner) and Larry Bird (three-time winner) as the only players to have won the contest multiple times.
