Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios recently praised NBA star Stephen Curry for his performance in the three-pointer challenge. Kyrgios, who is known for his talent on the tennis court, has shown his love for basketball on multiple occasions. Most recently, he celebrated Curry’s win at the 3-point shootout during the All-Star Weekend.
The competition was between Curry, one of the NBA’s best 3-point shooters, and Sabrina Ionescu, the leading 3-point scorer in the WNBA. It was a battle between two specialists in the art of the three-pointer, with the winner receiving a prestigious belt. Despite Ionescu’s impressive skills, Curry came out on top, winning the contest 29-26.
Kyrgios took to Twitter to express his admiration for Curry’s victory, tweeting “Thankyou Steph Curry.” He clearly enjoyed watching the competition and the opportunity to settle the debate about who the better shooter is.
Kyrgios, known for his unique touch on the tennis ball, has previously compared the NBA and tennis. He believes that tennis can learn from the NBA and create a more unified environment for its players. As a big NBA fan, Kyrgios often tweets about the league, including posts praising players like Curry.
In the crossover event between Curry and Ionescu, Curry emerged victorious, despite the differences between basketball and tennis. He also raised money for his charity through the event. Meanwhile, Kyrgios is eagerly awaiting clearance from his doctors to return to the tennis court.
