Move over, NBA All-Star Weekend! If Sabrina Ionescu has her way, we’re about to witness a 3-point contest that could shake the basketball world to its core. The Golden State Warriors’ Splash Brothers—Steph Curry and Klay Thompson—may want to start practicing now, because Ionescu just proposed a dream-team pairing with none other than the Caitlin Clark.
Yes, you read that right. The same Caitlin Clark who regularly pulls up from the parking lot in WNBA games and drains threes like she’s playing with cheat codes. Ionescu, not exactly a slouch herself when it comes to shooting from deep, casually dropped this bombshell of a hypothetical when she was on FOX’s college football set. Oregon was playing Maryland, but let’s be honest—after Sabrina’s comment, everyone was mentally fast-forwarding to All-Star Weekend 2025.
“I’m taking Caitlin Clark on my team,” Ionescu said, as if choosing between the most lethal sharpshooter in the WNBA and literally anyone else was ever a tough call.
Because let’s be real—who wouldn’t pick Clark? She’s basically a human flamethrower behind the arc. Pair her up with Ionescu, and you might as well start pre-writing their victory speech. These two combined for an avalanche of 3-pointers last season, with Ionescu knocking down triples like clockwork, while Clark was doing her best Steph Curry impression night after night.
But let’s not forget who they’re gunning for. Steph Curry, the man who made shooting 30-footers look as casual as brushing your teeth, edged out Ionescu in their epic All-Star 3-point shootout last season, winning 29-26. It was a thriller, but in the end, Curry got to keep his crown as the king of the long ball.
Now, with Klay Thompson potentially in the mix? This just became must-see TV. The Splash Brothers have a little history when it comes to shooting 3s, but would they be ready for the Splash Sisters? Ionescu and Clark could give them a run for their money. I mean, we’re talking about a duo who might have hit more 3s last year than most NBA teams.
The best part? There’s no need for trash talk here—the matchup speaks for itself. No elaborate hype videos or social media feuds required (though we wouldn’t say no to a little pre-game banter). Just line up the shooters, and may the best duo win.
Of course, fans are salivating at the thought of this showdown. We’re talking about four of the greatest shooters the game has ever seen. Steph and Klay, with their insane chemistry and years of splashy dominance, versus Sabrina and Caitlin, who are, quite frankly, the future of basketball. The stakes? Bragging rights for an entire generation of hoopers.
So, NBA All-Star Weekend organizers, if you’re reading this, do the right thing. Give the people what they want. Set up the ultimate 3-point contest. Because let’s face it—if you thought last season’s Curry-Ionescu duel was entertaining, wait until we throw Caitlin Clark and Klay Thompson into the mix.
Who will win? Who will fold under pressure? And most importantly, will anyone even miss a shot?
