As it turns out, the best 3-point shooter in the NBA right now is not a Curry, Booker or Lillard. It's Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Harris, who beat out Stephen Curry in the final of the 3-Point Contest Saturday night with a blistering long-range display.
Earlier in Saturday night's NBA All-Star festivities, Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum claimed the Skills Challenge by nailing a half-court shot to edge Trae Young.
