“She shoots better than me!” Luka Doncic sings high praise for ‘woman Steph Curry’ Caitlin Clark

Luka Doncic thinks Caitlin Clark is the female Stephen Curry

How have times changed when a women’s basketball star receives praise from the best of the best in the sport? Caitlin Clark‘s performance against LSU was so good that the world lauded her efforts. However, it makes an even bigger impact when NBA superstar Luka Doncic compares her to Stephen Curry.

Before the game against the Golden State Warriors, reporters did their general round of questions to Luka Doncic. Reporter Brad Townsend asked the superstar whether he watched the NCAA Elite Eight game of Iowa vs LSU. Doncic replied yes and made a stunning revelation about Clark.

I watched it a little bit. She got it going in the second half. That's the woman Steph Curry. She shoots better than me!

Clark is already one of the best college basketball players to ever grace the game. However, Doncic comparing her to Stephen Curry could be the best accolade she received so far.

Doncic’s logic bears some fruit as Caitlin Clark has a seismic effect on women’s games in the same way the all-time 3-point scorer in NBA history has. In fact, the Iowa guard broke Curry’s college 3-point record. The Dallas Mavericks superstar took the praises to the next level after considering Clark a better shooter than him.

The Slovenian is on course to put up a triple-double season and also remains in the MVP conversations. Meanwhile, Clark will now focus on her WNBA career; she has the talent to make an instant impact. In due time, she has the potential to break the WNBA records just like Steph Curry did in the NBA.

Luka Doncic and other NBA stars think Caitlin Clark is Stephen Curry-esque

Stephen Curry remains one of the most accomplished players in the last ten years. He has won back-to-back MVPs and led the Warriors to multiple titles. He has completely changed the way the game is played with his excellent three-point shooting ability. Most new-generation fans find Curry to be the biggest superstar in all of basketball.

Mavericks superstar Doncic and Celtics legend Paul Pierce think Caitlin Clark has a similar impact. Her play on the court is very similar to that of the 4-time champion. However, bringing global attention to the women’s game is the same kind of impact Curry has had on the NBA. They also felt that Clark could revolutionize the WNBA with her playing style.

Never before has a college women’s basketball player brought fans to the game with how Clark shoots the ball. So maybe Luka Doncic is right to compare her to Stephen Curry. However, only time will tell if she impacts the WNBA like Curry did with the NBA.
