New York Liberty icon Sabrina Ionescu is picking Caitlin Clark as her Splash Sister in a potential NBA All-Star shooting contest vs. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson in 2025.
New York Liberty star guard Sabrina Ionescu set the basketball community ablaze earlier this year when she faced off against Golden State Warriors legend Steph Curry in the first-ever NBA vs. WNBA 3-Point Challenge at the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend.
Ionescu drained her first seven threes and tallied a final score of 26 in the iconic event.Despite this extremely impressive performance, she was outshined by Curry, who ultimately scored 29 points to win the inaugural 'Stephen vs. Sabrina' competition. But the real winner was the sport of basketball and its fans, who got to witness a one-of-a-kind event between two of the world's best sharpshooters.When one of the show's hosts Tyvis Powell said to Ionescu, "Sabrina, you did the three-point contest against Steph Curry last year. Now I hear that they want to go back and go two-on-two, Steph and Klay .
While this potential NBA All-Star shooting event isn't confirmed, the thought of Ionescu and Clark pairing up against former Warriors teammates Curry and Thompson might break the internet. Let's hope that Ionescu — who didn't bat an eye when Powell brought this potential contest up — sticks to pairing that if this contest comes to fruition.Grant Young covers Women’s Basketball, the New York Yankees, and the New York Mets for Sports Illustrated’s ‘On SI’ sites.
