Who won the 2016 NBA All Star 3 point contest?

Klay Thompson won the 2016 NBA All-Star Three-Point Contest. The Golden State Warriors guard defeated teammate Stephen Curry in the final round at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre on February 13, 2016.

Thompson scored 27 points in the championship round, while Curry finished with 23. The victory made Thompson the second Warriors player to win the event in consecutive years, following Curry’s 2015 triumph. Their final-round matchup also highlighted the famous “Splash Brothers” pairing, one of the NBA’s most prolific shooting duos.

A common mix-up is confusing the Three-Point Contest with the 2016 NBA All-Star Game itself. Russell Westbrook won that game’s Most Valuable Player award, while Thompson won the separate shooting competition. Another nearby fact readers often ask about is the event’s format: contestants move around five racks of basketballs, with a special “money-ball” rack and two deep-range “Starry Range” shots introduced in later versions. In 2016, Thompson’s 27-point final-round performance secured the title.
