Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry and WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu have developed a close bond over the past couple of years.
So, it's not surprising to hear that Curry helped Ionescu analyze her game after the New York Liberty's first match of the season at IMG Academy.
Ionescu wrote about it in her recent diary for the Associated Press:
“I got back to my hotel room and I had so many texts and messages from people congratulating me on my first game. There really is such a cool relationship between the NBA and WNBA as they definitely support us. Just seeing so many of them in the orange WNBA hooded sweatshirt over the weekend was awesome.
“It meant a lot to me to hear from so many of the NBA guys, including LeBron James, Damian Lillard, Ja Morant and Steve Nash. They told me that I looked poised and that I was going to have a great career.
“It was also helpful to connect with Steph (Curry) on FaceTime to go over what went right and wrong in the opener.”
In just her second WNBA game, Ionescu scored 33 points against the Dallas Wings. She shot 11-of-20 from the field and 6-of-10 from beyond the arc.
However, the Liberty lost the game by a final score of 93-80.
Since Curry has two daughters, he knows it's important to support the WNBA and its best players. It should be fun to track the Warriors legend's relationship with Ionescu moving forward as she embarks on her basketball career.
