Still, no word if Caitlin Clark will join the Unrivaled 3-on-3 league, and the rumor mill is getting louder than a buzzer-beater. Some claim she’s in, others say she’s out. But what’s Clark thinking? Right now, not much about basketball. Apparently—she was busy swinging golf clubs instead of draining threes. At The Annika LPGA Pro-Am, Clark even shared her dream golf foursome. Spoiler alert: she wants to cook with the Chef.
When asked who she’d pick, Clark kept it casual: “Oh, gosh. I’ve been lucky enough to play with a lot of people to put in there. Nelly [Korda] would probably be up there… I’d put Steph Curry in there. And honestly, anybody. Any professional golfers, so that I can take free lessons.”
Free lessons? Relatable queen. And Steph Curry? Of course! He’s not just a baller—he’s a sniper on the green, too. Some might say his short game is as smooth as his 3-point stroke. You can’t blame Clark for wanting a little Curry spice in her golf game.

Naturally, people often compare these two. Three-pointer rivals on the court for a reason. Both are sharpshooters, both can drain shots from absurd distances, and both love golf. Clark even took inspiration from Curry’s off-the-cuff approach to shooting. The Golden State Warriors star famously said, “No shot is a bad shot when you can shoot like that,” and Clark has clearly embraced that motto.
And her Fever coach? She’s adapted some Warriors playbook magic for Clark, proving their games are more similar than we thought. Healthy rivalry? Oh yeah. But just the thought of them swinging together on the green… That’d just be a perfect end to it all.
So, here’s the thing: Clark is Unrivaled or not is a topic that will only gain more attention until all 36 players are revealed. But you’d have to wonder if she’d trade it all just to compete with Curry at the NBA All-Star 3-point shooting contest. With the inaugural Unrivaled season set for January to March 2025, overlapping with NBA All-Star Weekend, the timing could make things interesting.
What’s your perspective on:
Is Caitlin Clark the future of basketball, or just another 'female Curry'?
Have an interesting take?
After the dream collaboration of the NBA and WNBA on the competition where Sabrina Ionescu broke Curry’s sweat, word around the town is that Caitlin Clark just might feature this season. Moreover, Stephen Curry will also reunite with his former teammate Klay Thompson while Ionescu and Curry will remain the constants.
Clark might be keeping her cards close to the chest, but one thing’s clear: whether she’s on the court or on the green, she’s always in elite company.
When the Chef said he loved to see Caitlin Clark cook
When Stephen Curry calls you “must-see TV,” you know you’re doing something special. That was back early this year when Caitlin Clark was turning heads in Iowa. But wait, she wasn’t only turning heads.
Remember when Curry broke into the season and set the record at Davidson in ’07-08 with 162 threes? Oh, boy, he was the hottest topic at the time. But Clark? She took it upon herself to break Curry’s NCAA Division-I single-season 3-point record with 164. But let’s be real—Iowa sensation wasn’t just about raining threes coming out… And Curry? He knew it when he told CBS Mornings, “Her shooting ability is her superpower, but the rest of her game is as polished as that.”

Translation: Clark’s game is more than just splash plays from downtown. She’s a full-court maestro, racking up triple-doubles, making unbelievable passes, and controlling the tempo like a seasoned pro. And now, in Indiana, Clark is just proving Curry’s statement word-by-word with each passing game.
The comparisons between the two sharpshooters aren’t just about numbers. Both have redefined what’s possible from long range and brought massive attention to their respective leagues. Clark’s impact on women’s basketball has been seismic. Sold-out arenas, record-breaking TV audiences, and an entire generation of young athletes inspired by her style of play.
Curry himself gave props when he said: “I love what she’s done for women’s basketball. When she shows up, the seats are filled, and there’s a different energy.”

Sure, the Curry-Clark parallels are fun, but even Steph admits they’re limiting. He doesn’t want people to box her in as the “female Curry.” Whether it’s the Fever running Warriors-inspired plays for her or fans clamoring for more of her magic, her game is hers.
