Steph Curry Reacts to Sabrina Ionescu’s Playoff Heroics in Liberty’s Series Win Over DreamLAPRESSE
The WNBA playoffs have been nothing short of thrilling, and Sabrina Ionescu took center stage on Tuesday night as the New York Liberty punched their ticket to the semifinals. Facing elimination, the Atlanta Dream couldn’t find answers for Ionescu’s brilliance as she powered the Liberty to a 91-82 victory in Game 2, completing a 2-0 sweep of the first-round series. Her 36-point explosion, coupled with nine assists and three steals, left no doubt that the Liberty guard is built for big moments.
This performance wasn’t just another win for the Liberty. It was a statement from Ionescu, a three-time All-Star, that she’s ready to take her team deep into the playoffs. Shooting 12-of-23 from the field and connecting on five three-pointers, Ionescu carried her team on her back, propelling New York to the semis. And it wasn’t just WNBA fans watching-NBA superstar Steph Curry also took note.
Curry, who has long been connected to Ionescu through their shared love for long-range shooting, gave a quiet yet significant nod to her performance. Rather than making a flashy social media post, the Golden State Warriors legend simply reposted a Bleacher Report highlight of Ionescu’s game. It was a subtle gesture, but one that spoke volumes about the respect Curry has for Ionescu, who is fast becoming one of the most feared shooters in basketball-NBA or WNBA.
Ionescu proves she’s ready for the big stage, earning Curry’s respect ahead of Semifinals

Their connection isn’t new. Earlier this year, the two sharpshooters went head-to-head during the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend in a three-point contest. While Curry ultimately came out on top, Ionescu made it clear that she could go toe-to-toe with the best shooter in NBA history. That same shooting prowess was on full display against the Dream, cementing her as one of the elite guards in the WNBA.
As Ionescu and the Liberty prepare for the semifinals, their next opponent remains uncertain. The Las Vegas Aces, the reigning champions, are just one win away from advancing to meet New York in a rematch of the 2023 Finals. Whether it’s Las Vegas or Seattle, Ionescu has proven she’s ready for the challenge ahead, and with Curry’s subtle nod of approval, her star continues to rise.
Former NFL Quarterback Brett Favre Lashes Out At Taylor Swift, Accuses Her Of Using Her “Influence” For Foul Reasons

Former NFL star quarterback Brett Favre has taken a swipe at pop sensation Taylor Swift for political reasons ahead of the upcoming 2024 presidential elections.
The 11-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro is known to be a supporter of former President Donald Trump and has previously endorsed him.
He’s since taken a shot at Swift, who recently endorsed Democratic candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris following Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes informing everyone that he wouldn’t endorse a candidate.
“Good take by Mahomes,” he wrote in a tweet.
“I see a lot of celebs trying to influence their audience instead of letting the people think for themselves. If the best choice for them ain’t clear and they’re easily swayed by their fav pop artist, it’s not going to be a good thing.”
