Stephen Curry has been singing Caitlin Clark’s praises so much we’ve probably lost count by now. But now, it looks like the entire Curry family is officially on the Caitlin Clark fan train. And we did know her magic seems to work on all ages. However, this time, it was clear her charm even works on tiny tots who might not fully understand the game yet.
As the youngest member of Team Caitlin, we have Daxon Curry. Over the weekend, while at the Suns-Warriors game in Phoenix, Sydel Curry—Steph’s sister—shared an adorable Instagram Story that melted hearts. In the clip, her son, Daxon, was absolutely mesmerized by none other than Caitlin Clark, who was surprisingly in attendance to watch the game, too.

Sydel captioned it with humor, “Sis always gonna catch a vibe lol. Daxon is staring at one of his favs (Caitlin Clark) lol.” And honestly, can you blame the kid? CC’s presence at NBA games is a rare treat.
She doesn’t often pop up at NBA games aside from the Indiana Pacers. Her appearance caused quite a stir online, with videos and pictures of her spotting going viral. The game the 2024 ROTY attended was nothing short of a showdown. The Suns defeated the Warriors 113-105, with Devin Booker leading the charge.
Phoenix’s incredible 3-point shooting proved too much for Golden State. Steph Curry, as always, was a highlight, putting up 23 points and a fourth-quarter rally that came close to flipping the script. But just couldn’t.
But we must give it to Steph as even in defeat, he shone through, and Caitlin, a long-time admirer, would surely have noticed. After all, she’s been open about her respect for the NBA star’s game. Back during the Olympics, she called his performance against France a “cheat code,” appreciating his unreal skills.
Meanwhile, Curry has always been heaping praise on her, too. He even addressed the talk about their similarities. Although Steph downplayed it, fans can’t help but notice how much she resembles him on the court.
Caitlin Clark channeling her inner Steph
The 4x NBA Champion expressed that while he appreciates the chatter about their similarities, he believes those comparisons can be a bit unfair to the W star. Because they often overshadow her well-rounded skill set. “Her shooting ability is her superpower, but the rest of her game is as polished as that,” he said.

Well, this is high praise from the greatest shooter in basketball history. But despite him dismissing it, there’s no doubt both shooters do share striking similarities. Even back in October, the Indiana Fever star was seen mastering Steph Curry’s signature.
A video of Caitlin practicing her ‘floater’ sparked a frenzy online. The clip showed her nailing the move with the same finesse and precision we’ve come to associate with the Warriors’ star. “I feel like I’m just scratching the surface,” she said of her game. “There’s so much more I want to master.”

Their similarities go beyond technique. Both players are known for their range, creativity, and ability to completely shift the game’s energy. Undoubtedly, they are transcendent stars in their respective leagues, earning admiration not just from each other but also from fans of all ages.
