Sabrina Ionescu Q&A at WNBA Live\u2019s \u2018AT&T All-Star Access\u2019<\/p>\n
You\u2019re here with AT&T. What are you doing today?<\/p>\n
Sabrina Ionescu: Just connecting with fans. Really excited to be here with AT&T for All-Star Weekend and just being able to be here around the fans in this amazing space and kind of be able to be a role model, sign autographs, take pictures. So, I\u2019m just really excited to be here.<\/p>\n

(Photo courtesy of: AT&T)<\/p>\n AT&T is also the sponsor of the 4-pointer [for the 2025 All-Star Game]. Very cool that money will be donated to charities of players\u2019 choices for each 4-pointer made [in the game]. Thoughts on that?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n AT&T 4-Point Shot: Sabrina Ionescu: Yeah. I\u2019m super excited, obviously. Hopefully, can make a few and be able to donate to my [SI20] Foundation that\u2019s just able to continue to give back to communities that mean a lot to me and impact children. So, I\u2019m really excited for that opportunity as well.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA – JULY 19: Sabrina Ionescu attends \u2018AT&T All-Star Access\u2019 at WNBA Live during the 2025 All-Star Weekend. (Photo courtesy of: AT&T)<\/p>\n Do you think the WNBA should implement a permanent 4-point line?<\/p>\n Sabrina Ionescu: I\u2019m always all for it. I\u2019ve said that from the beginning if that was to be a rule change, I would love for that to happen. I just think everyone\u2019s shooting so well from the three-point line, and I feel like we could continue to add different elements that would change the game of basketball. So, I mean, personally, I would love it, but I\u2019m fine with where it\u2019s at right now as well.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n INDIANAPOLIS, IN – JULY 19: Sabrina Ionescu #20 of Team Clark smiles during the AT&T WNBA All-Star Game 2025 on July 19, 2025 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Mast\/NBAE via Getty Images<\/p>\n If you were [going to] play a game of HORSE, tell me three tricks in your bag that you would put in a game that you think would guarantee you the win. <\/p>\n Sabrina Ionescu: I always go lefty. Like, that\u2019s kind of my trick HORSE shot<\/a>. I don\u2019t have crazy trick shots because I don\u2019t really try and practice them too much, but going lefty always usually guarantees me wins. Like, whether it\u2019s a free throw shot lefty, a three-pointer, and then obviously sometimes to finish…a half-court shot righty, but a lefty always will sneak me in a few letters to win.<\/p>\n The Sabrina 3, you announced that it was being released. So, you have the All-Star version that came out and then, you also have the \u2018Blueprint\u2019 that\u2019s coming out [July 24]. How involved are you still, considering that it\u2019s the third iteration, in the design process?<\/p>\n Sabrina Ionescu: Just as involved as I was in the first one from when we started. Just being able to…tell the story that I want to tell from my shoe, see it evolve, understand what consumers need. Obviously, not really settling. Just strive to try and come out with the best performance shoe. And now we\u2019re on the third one, and I\u2019m really excited for the world to be able to see it.<\/p>\n What are your three favorite colorways? Any iteration and why?<\/p>\n Sabrina Ionescu: I would say the Sabrina 2 \u2018Lily\u2019 because I won a championship in those. Game 5. They\u2019re [named] after my mom. My mom\u2019s name is Lily, and they have flowers on them. So, that would have to be one. Probably launch colorway<\/a> of the Sabrina 1 just because that was like the first time. And then, launch colorway of the 3, I would have to say. The \u2018Blueprint\u2019 colorway. The blueprint of being an athlete.<\/p>\n Had the opportunity to chat w\/ Sabrina Ionescu during All-Star Weekend at AT&T\u2019s All-Star Access at WNBA Live!<\/p>\n Among other things, we talked the Sabrina 3 Blueprint & where it ranks for her as a colorway. More on that later! But a reminder, they drop July 24! (via @sabrina_i\/IG) pic.twitter.com\/iIHbm9Rfqw<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
