Kevin Durant shares his take on the first NBA vs. WNBA shootout

For the first time in history, a male pro will battle it out with a female pro on the All-Star Weekend stage. Steph Curry and Sabrina Ionescu will go head-to-head in a three-point shootout. The rules are simple, the player who makes the most shots from beyond the arc wins. However, there's a twist and a significant difference in how each player will do it.

The Golden State Warriors star will use league-regulated basketballs and shoot from the league's three-point arc. The New York Liberty guard will shoot from the WNBA distance and use her league's regulation ball.

Over the weekend, Curry's former teammate Kevin Durant was asked about the much-anticipated head-to-head battle. According to Durant, he believes that the all-time leader in three-pointers made will win. That said, the four-time champion didn't think that his former teammate chose him over Ionescu.

Curry said that being an instigator and believed that Durant picked Ionescu to win the event. When the Phoenix Suns star heard about this, he had to change his pick.

"I can't believe u would call me an instigator, Stephen. I'm taking Sabrina," KD jokingly Tweeted.

Much like KD, fans are excited to see the two sharpshooters battle it out at All-Star weekend.
