Nick Kyrgios shuts down comparison between NBA icon Steph Curry and college basketball star Caitlin Clark’s shooting abilities

Nick Kyrgios has recently rejected the idea of comparing NBA legend Steph Curry and women’s college basketball star Caitlin Clark in regards to their shooting skills.

Stephen Curry is a renowned basketball player and serves as the point guard for the Golden State Warriors in the NBA. He is widely recognized as one of the most exceptional shooters and players in the history of the sport. In addition, he boasts an impressive record of four NBA championship titles and has also achieved two gold medals with the U.S. men’s national team at the FIBA World Cup.

In contrast, Caitlin Clark is quickly gaining recognition as a talented player in the American college basketball scene. Currently a member of the Iowa Hawkeyes, she holds the record for all-time top scorer in NCAA Division 1 history and has achieved impressive accomplishments in youth international competitions, earning three gold medals with the United States. In addition, she was awarded the Most Valuable Player title at the 2021 FIBA Under-19 Women’s World Cup.

A discussion was ignited among followers of a basketball fan page on social media when the page posed the question of who the better shooter is between Stephen Curry and Caitlin Clark.

“Who is the better shooter?”the post read.

Upon seeing the post, Nick Kyrgios, a basketball enthusiast and devoted Boston Celtics fan, promptly rejected the comparison, stating:

“Stop.”

In January 2023, Kyrgios became a co-owner of the NBL team, the South East Melbourne Phoenix. He has previously shared his love for basketball and his dream of playing it professionally for personal fulfillment. However, he remains appreciative of tennis for bringing joy to his loved ones and has no regrets about his career in the sport.

The Key to Nick Kyrgios’ Success: Authentic Self-Expression

Nick Kyrgios has launched his latest video podcast, titled “Good Trouble with Nick Kyrgios.”The production is being handled by Hana Kuma, the media company owned by Naomi Osaka. During a recent episode, which featured American actor and comedian Rainn Wilson, Kyrgios candidly discussed his early experiences on the Tour.

When he first joined the tennis circuit, the Australian noticed players such as Andy Murray and Roger Federer, who were renowned for their exemplary sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct – traits commonly associated with tennis players.

Despite his naturally outspoken and eccentric nature on the court, Kyrgios initially attempted to imitate their organized and well-behaved demeanor. However, he soon came to the realization that pretending to be someone he wasn’t only caused him to feel disconnected from his true self and made the sport feel unfamiliar to him.

“When I first came on the tour, I was so out of pocket, like with the normal tennis player, you know at that time was like Andy Murray, [Roger] Federer, and these gentlemen that were so clean cut. And I was like okay, I’ll try and be more like Federer. So I tried to you know, bring two bags to the courts, really organized, tried to be really clean and proper. The first couple of years, I didn’t feel myself. I was like, this sport is just so foreign to me,”Kyrgios said.

Nick Kyrgios shared that by embracing his true self, releasing himself from the expectations of others, and pursuing activities that truly brought him joy, he was able to feel more genuine and thrive on the court.

“And then I guess there was a point where I was like, f*ck it I’m just gonna be myself. You know? I started wearing basketball jerseys on court and everyone was like, what is he doing? And that’s when I think I’ve had my best success. When I just expressed myself,” he added.

His most recent tour-level appearance occurred at the 2023 BOSS Open in Stuttgart, where he was defeated in the first round.
