Few players can appreciate a deep 3-pointer the way Damian Lillard and LeBron James can. So it was a good thing the two were among a handful of NBA stars who pulled up to the Las Vegas Aces game against the New York Liberty on Saturday in the desert.
With the first quarter coming to a close, Sabrina Ionescu put on a show in the nationally televised rematch of last year's WNBA Finals, perfectly using a screen from Kennedy Burke to launch a three from the logo.
This looked so smooth. There's just really not much you can do as a defender.
Bam Adebayo and LeBron's wife, Savannah, were also sitting courtside for the highly anticipated matchup. So, too, was super agent Rich Paul.
Ionescu finished with 15 points and 12 assists as the Liberty topped the Aces, 90-82, in the first of their three regular season matchups.
