Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic is among those in awe of Iowa Hawkeyes star Caitlin Clark's skills, which have been dazzling all season long.
The NBA MVP candidate praised the NCAA's all-time leading scorer, comparing her to an NBA legend and stating that one aspect of her game is better than his.
"That's a woman Steph Curry. She can shoot it better than me," Doncic remarked to reporters during the team's morning shootaround on Tuesday, April 2.
Curry is widely regarded as the greatest three-point shooter in basketball history. He holds the record for most threes made in the NBA in both the regular season and the playoffs.

Clark was sensational in that game, scoring 41 points on 13-of-29 shooting from the field and 9-of-20 from beyond the arc.
The 22-year-old phenom also contributed seven rebounds, 12 assists, two steals, and a block in 40 minutes of action as they took a 94-87 win.
