That WNBA ball is a decent advantage, basically the equivalent of shooting with a 1 inch bigger rim in circumference.

Yeah, but I bet if you asked Steph, he wouldn't want to shoot with that ball. It's all about what they're comfortable with.

Guessing hand-to-ball size ratio is still unfavorable to the WNBA players.

Stupid dance by Steph, as cringe as all the shimmy stuff he does in games.

Great shooting though. He should have gone in the actual contest

Ahh! Really nice showing from Sabrina, esp since her warm up didn't look the best but Steph turned it on in the end! Wow, those Starry shots are tough to hit. Across all competitors, what was the hit % on them?

Don't think bigger hands are much of an advantage if at all, the NBA line and the 2 long balls even things out a bit though.

Everyone keeps saying Caitlin next year but she's not the pure shooter that Sabrina is I don't think.

Great player though. Anyone see the ignorant comments Cheryl Swoopes made about Caitlin on Gilbert Arenas podcast?

Probably wouldn't take him many shots to get used to it to be honest.
