The comparisons between Caitlin Clark and Steph Curry are obvious. They are both prolific scorers, as Curry led the NCAA in points in each of his last two seasons at Davidson College, while Clark is the all-time leading scorer in Division I basketball history.

Their styles of play are also similar, as each is known for pulling up from 30-plus feet for a logo 3-pointer that either sends the home crowd into a frenzy or sends a road crowd from its feet to its seat. With the high frequency of shots from beyond the arc for both, Curry is the NBA’s all-time leader in both 3-pointers made, while Clark is the Division I women’s all-time leader in 3-point makes.
