One of the highlights of NBA All-Star Weekend last season was the 3-point shooting contest between Golden State Warriors’ guard Steph Curry and New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu. NBA stars made picks and chose sides, WNBA stars had takes too, and in the end, Curry got the edge over Ionescu 29-26.
Because of how compelling and entertaining the shootout was, a lot of folks want Curry and Ionescu to run it back.
And some folks want to add an extra wrinkle to the contest, making it a two-on-two matchup, with Curry and his former co-Splash Brother Klay Thompson on one side, and Ionescu with a WNBA partner on the other.
Who would Ionescu pick? She revealed her answer in the hypothetical scenario on Saturday when she joined the FOX college football set ahead of her top-ranked alma mater Oregon hosting Maryland.
“If I would have to choose, I’m taking Caitlin Clark on my team.”

Was there really any other choice?
This past season, Clark and Ionescu ranked first and fourth respectively in 3-pointers made per game, and both knocked down north of 100 shots from behind the arc.
Let’s see it. Set up Klay and Steph versus Caitlin and Sabrina at All-Star Weekend 2025.
