Jonquel Jones hilariously tried baiting Sabrina Ionescu into a 3-point contest at the All-Star Game

Sabrina Ionescu‘s teammate, Jonquel Jones, says she could beat Sabrina in a 3-point contest, and this is our kind of carrying-on.

Jonquel Jones has been on an absolute tear this season. As we pointed out in our WNBA power rankings, Jones has upped her 3-point shooting, and it’s giving teams absolute fits. (Jonquel was the 2021 WNBA MVP, so she can HOOP. But shooting over 40 percent from 3-point land for a frontcourt player is just simply WILD stuff.)

So, during recent media availability, Jones did not hesitate to say that she could beat Sabrina Ionescu — a lethal 3-point specialist — if she were to be invited to the All-Star game. This is the hilarious answer she gave:

“Look, I always say when they invite me, I’ll do it. So, if they invite me, I’ll beat her too.”

Sabrina then cracked a smile before answering, “Who said I was doing it?” This is tremendous stuff. We hope this happens. We are totally here for it.

“I’ll beat her too”

Somebody send @jus242 that invite to the 3 PT contest
