NEW YORK - Sugar Rodgers is heading to the WNBA All-Star Game to compete in the 3-point contest.
The Liberty shooting guard is happy for the chance to compete against Seattle's Sue Bird, Connecticut's Jasmine Thomas, Chicago's Allie Quigley and Minnesota's Maya Moore on Saturday in Seattle.
"If I win, I win, if I don't, I'm still a good shooter," Rodgers said. "We'll go out there and have fun."
There's no doubt who the fans will be pulling for in the contest involving Bird, a 10-time All-Star playing in front of her home crowd.
"The fans associate a 3-point contest with a weekend like this. Players and fans have fun with it," Bird said. "I'm excited to be a part of it."
The league is bringing back the contest for the first time since 2009.
