Fri Jun 20 04:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Caitlin Clark Expresses Admiration for Steph Curry Ahead of Golden State Showdown

**SAN FRANCISCO, CA** – Rookie sensation Caitlin Clark is set to play at Chase Center, home of the Golden State Warriors, this Thursday when her Indiana Fever face the Golden State Valkyries. Before the highly anticipated matchup, Clark expressed her deep admiration for Warriors superstar Steph Curry.

“I grew up watching Steph,” Clark told reporters. “To me, he’s one of the greatest basketball players of all time. He’s really changed the way basketball is played.”

Clark’s comments highlight the profound impact Curry has had on the game, particularly his influence on three-point shooting. She playfully acknowledged the potential for overuse of long-range shots by young players, but underscored the excitement of playing in a stadium so closely associated with the future Hall of Famer. “It’s cool to be here. He’s someone I certainly idolize.”

The Fever star’s own playing style draws comparisons to Curry, forcing defenders to guard her far beyond the arc, creating offensive opportunities for her teammates. Clark’s ability to control the game with her long-range prowess has been a key factor in the Fever’s recent success. After returning from a quad injury, Clark has led the Fever to back-to-back wins against the New York Liberty and Connecticut Sun, shooting an impressive 55% from three-point range, a feat that would make even Curry proud.

While Clark has a long road ahead to match Curry’s career record of 4,058 three-pointers, her impact on the WNBA mirrors Curry’s influence on the NBA, making her admiration for the Warriors legend a natural and compelling connection. All eyes will be on Chase Center Thursday as Clark looks to further cement her legacy on the court that “Steph built.”
