Caitlin Clark Sends a Cryptic Response on Stephen Curry & Sabrina Ionescu's 3-Point Contest at NBA All-Star Weekend
Logo Threes, Historic Records, and the Ever-Evolving Rivalry
Caitlin Clark has been carving out her own legacy, and she’s showing no signs of slowing down. From hitting logo threes in college to setting the record for the most three-pointers by a rookie in a single season, the Indiana Fever’s #22 has kept her ‘sharpshooter’ tag intact. After surpassing shooting greats like Stephen Curry and Diana Taurasi, it seems almost inevitable that we’ll see Clark in a 3-point contest against the Legends. And she might be on board for that idea herself.
Clark recently liked a post on social media that read, “Imagine you have Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson on the NBA side, then you get Sabrina Ionescu and Caitlin Clark on the WNBA side.” A cryptic response, perhaps, but certainly one that got fans excited about a potential clash. With the All-Star Weekend taking place in February, just as the Unrivaled league is set to kick off in January 2025, the basketball world is abuzz with speculation.
Clark has grown up idolizing Curry. She once said, “Those are the people I always loved watching. The way they shoot the ball, I try to mimic that and try to be half as good.” Along with Maya Moore, Curry has been one of her biggest inspirations. Fast forward to today, and the similarities in their games are undeniable. Her Indiana Fever head coach even added elements of the Warriors’ playbook to highlight Clark’s strengths, and if this dream 3-point showdown were to happen, it wouldn’t be the first time the NBA and WNBA joined forces—we saw Sabrina Ionescu face off against Curry just last year, with the Liberty star falling just three points short of Curry’s score.
The excitement around Clark potentially joining this year’s contest is growing, with a chance to see Curry reuniting with his longtime shooting buddy, Klay Thompson, in the process. Whether she chooses to join the NBA All-Star festivities or sticks to Unrivaled, one thing is for sure—Caitlin Clark is always in elite company.
Caitlin Clark’s Unwavering Drive
Caitlin Clark’s competitive spirit is nothing new. Back in her Iowa Hawkeyes days, she was unstoppable, averaging an astonishing 31.6 points per game. Her sharpshooting prowess didn’t just make headlines; it shattered records—even those set by her idol. Stephen Curry, during his memorable 2007-08 season at Davidson, held the record with 162 three-pointers. Clark, however, went beyond that, knocking down 164 threes in a single season and securing her place among the greats.
Curry himself had noticed her potential early on, calling her “her superpower” in an interview, praising not only her shooting skills but also the rest of her polished game. Since becoming the No. 1 pick in the WNBA, Clark has continued to dazzle—breaking the rookie record for threes and surpassing Diana Taurasi for the second-most three-pointers in a season with a total of 122.
Curry himself has been vocal about her impact, saying, “I love what she’s done for women’s basketball. When she shows up, the seats are filled, and there’s a different energy.” While the comparisons between Curry and Clark are flattering, Curry has expressed that he doesn’t want her to be boxed into being the “female Curry,” acknowledging her own unique flair.
The question now stands—will Caitlin Clark take up the opportunity to participate in the NBA All-Star weekend or stick with Unrivaled? Either way, she’s bound to make headlines and continue her remarkable journey in basketball.
