New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu is coming off the back of another successful 3-point win at the WNBA All-Star Games. She was a guest on the “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” where she named her greatest basketball players of all time list.

Ionescu, not surprisingly, named herself in the list. Added to the list were Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry, Kobe Bryant, teammate Breanna Stewart and, as a joke, $440 million Hollywood icon Adam Sandler.

“I’m going with myself. I’m always gonna add myself. I’m going Stephen Curry… Kobe Bryant … Breanna Stewart because she’s my teammate and the GOAT. And then, I’m going Adam Sandler.”

Ionescu won her second WNBA 3‑Point Contest at Indy. She scored 30 points in the final round, tying for second-most all-time. Her win was seen as redemption for her head-to-head loss to Steph Curry in the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend.

She earned $62,575 in prize money and pledged to split it between Washington Mystics rookie Sonia Citron (for bravery and effort) and her SI20 Foundation (supporting youth sports access).

Ionescu and teammate Natasha Cloud won the Skills Challenge, giving the Liberty a notable contest sweep, the first in WNBA history with different winners.
