Steph Curry is one of the best players to have ever graced a basketball court and is undoubtedly the best shooter the world has ever seen.
The Golden State Warriors star can do just about anything with a basketball, as his handle package is also insane.
Caitlin Clark has earned comparisons to Curry, given her ability to shoot from remarkable distances and her talent as a dribbler.
As we found out this week, she is already a lot better at one thing than Curry.
The four-time NBA champion is on international duty with Team USA at the moment and was part of a video showing the players being asked how good they are at spinning a basketball on their fingers.
As expected, most of them can do it effortlessly. However, Curry admitted that he’s no good at it.
Shocker right?
Turns out LeBron James and Tyrese Haliburton can’t either.

“LeBron and Steph can’t do it? Now I don’t feel so bad for not being able to do it,” a fan wrote.
Guess Who Can Spin A Basketball On Their Finger With Ease… That’s Right, Caitlin Clark
The internet was also quick to point out that Caitlin Clark can “flawlessly” spin a ball off her finger.
An X user posted a clip of the Indiana Fever rookie doing just that during media day.
“‘how’s your spinning?’ ‘pretty good’ *proceeds to spin the ball in the smoothest most flawless way*… women,” they captioned it.
Check it out:
“Better than Steph! I was today years old when I learned both he and Lebron kinda suck at spinning a basketball,” one fan offered.
Given Curry’s visible frustration, he’s probably going to be the greatest spinner in the world by the beginning of next season.
JJ Redick drops honest Bronny James assessment amid poor Summer League
While not actively coaching the Los Angeles Lakers’ Summer League team, new head coach JJ Redick was present at the team’s first Las Vegas game on Friday night. Redick commented on rookie Bronny James’ performance during the ESPN broadcast of the Lakers’ 99-80 loss to the Houston Rockets.
The new Lakers head coach discussed his expectations for the Lakers’ 55th overall pick Bronny James with his former ESPN colleagues, Doris Burke and Mark Jones. Bronny has shown inconsistency on offense but has been serviceable on defense in his three games so far in the Summer League.
“Overall, we’ve liked what we’ve seen in practice. We like what we’ve seen in the Summer League,” Redick noted.

JJ Redick also mentioned that he isn’t concerned about Bronny’s outcomes just yet at this early stage of his young career.
“I think you just have to let go of outcomes, and you just have to enjoy the process of being in the NBA. … He’s obviously case study No. 1. He’s going to be a big part of what we do in our player development program.
“We’re going to invest heavily in him. He’s got to fall in love with that process and let go of outcomes,” Redick said about Bronny James when talking about dealing with scrutiny.
In his first two Summer League outings with the Lakers, James had a total of seven points, seven rebounds, five assists, three steals, and three blocks. He shot 3-of-12 from the field and 0-of-3 from beyond the arc during these games.
Bronny James’ debut at USC was postponed due to a cardiac arrest he suffered in the summer before the 2023-24 season. Throughout the season, he shot 36.6 percent from the field and 26.7 percent from 3-point range.
Bronny James’ performance in his third game in the Summer League
The younger James scored six of the Lakers’ first 13 points on Friday—a layup, two free throws and an impressive dunk that showcased his athleticism
He didn’t add to his score until midway through the fourth quarter, executing a slick move with a left-hand dribble down the lane, extending to make a floater with his right hand.
While James showed some promising moments, he also struggled against the Rockets. He had eight points, five rebounds, two assists with two steals, shooting 3-of-14 from the field and 0-of-8 from beyond the arc.
The first-round picks on the court, Reed Sheppard and the Lakers’ Dalton Knecht, displayed great potential.
Sheppard’s 23-point performance fueled the Rockets’ victory, extending the Lakers’ losing streak this summer to three games in the California Classic.
Knecht impressed in his Vegas debut with 25 points, six rebounds and four assists. He heated up in the second half, displaying the shooting prowess that intrigued the Lakers after he slipped from a potential lottery pick to No. 17 on draft night.
James is slated to start the season with the Lakers but is anticipated to spend much of the year in the G League for further development. Currently, he’s focused on making an impact in the Summer League.
