Sabrina Ionescu who came out of Oregon University, was the pre-Caitlin in 2020. During NBA all star weekend, she had a three point contest against Steph Curry, and she acquitted herself well.

I am surprised a player named Elena Delle Donne isn't more famous.

Once I was musing to myself that shooting (in basketball) might be something women could do about as well as men.

In the NBA there have been 14 50-40-90 seasons by 10 players since the first one in 86/87. (Larry Bird has two, Steve Nash has four, and is one free throw from five in a row.)

One G League player has done it. 11 player's have done it in men's NCAA basketball, with no one doing it more than once. I heard seven players in Euroleague have done it, but I don't have solid evidence.

Only one woman has done it at the pro or college level: Elena Delle Donne did it on 2019. (I can't find any list for this at the high school level.)

Maybe she's a good shooter. I'll take your word for it. But for whatever reason, she's not a "star".
