In a recent interview on CBS Mornings, NBA sharpshooter Steph Curry weighed in on the comparisons drawn between himself and rising basketball star Caitlin Clark. While acknowledging the striking similarity in their shooting prowess, Curry was quick to commend Clark for her multifaceted skill set, emphasizing her remarkable contributions beyond scoring.

“I’ve been watching from afar and understanding just how much of a power she is out there on the court,” Curry remarked, shedding light on Clark’s dynamic presence in the game.

“The cool part is the way that she plays and her range and the level of difficulty on her shots is obviously a very close comparison to the way that I play, but I think it almost robs her of, like, the rest of her game because she has an overall floor game, she’s racking up close to triple-doubles every night,” Curry added, highlighting Clark’s versatility.

Indeed, Caitlin Clark’s performance on the court speaks volumes. As the all-time leading scorer in college basketball, regardless of gender, she leads the nation in scoring with an impressive average of 31.9 points per game. However, her impact extends far beyond putting up points.

Clark also leads the country in assists, showcasing her adeptness at facilitating play and involving her teammates. This isn’t a new feat for her, as she previously became the first women’s player to lead Division I in both points and assists in a single season during her sophomore year.
