Curry also went on to praise Ionescu, who set the single-season WNBA three-point record last season.
“She’s unbelievable,” Curry said. “Unbelievable shooter, unbelievable player. It should be great for the game to have a little competition.”
Ionescu had nothing but praise for the Warriors guard.
"It's a blessing to even be in the same conversation as Steph and to be able to see how much he has respected me as a player and a basketball player and a person to want to come out here and do this," Ionescu said. "He wants to beat me. I can tell you that, he's not taking it easy. He was out there booing me as I was practicing yesterday and trying to get in my head."
