Since her entrance to the WNBA with the Indiana Fever as the number-one pick in the draft, there's been more praise, along with an extensive barrage of insults off the court and near-assaults that at times were not even called fouls on the court, for Clark.
(I don’t watch basketball. If it were banned tomorrow, I would never know the difference. Not a fan. BUT I AM a fan of Caitlin Clark. She has fought a hard fight and came out on top with her spirit intact, if not elevated. CONGRATULATIONS CAITLIN! And as a major plus, she also peeved off Sisterhood of the Perpetually Offended team leader Megan Rapinoe. That’s like another award.)
Her accomplishments stretch out for miles, too, starting with her breaking the scoring record for NCAA women's basketball.
Clark was also voted a unanimous Rookie of the Year by the Associated Press earlier this month. Following a historic run with Iowa women's basketball, Clark opened her WNBA career by averaging 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game as a rookie
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft helped lead the Fever to a 20-win season, its first with that many victories since 2015. Indiana also earned the No. 6 seed in the WNBA playoffs, but was swept in two games of the best-of-three series by the No. 3 Connecticut Sun. The Fever won just 13 games in 2023.
Clark set the WNBA single-season record with 337 assists and finished with WNBA single-season rookie records of 769 points and 122 3-pointers made. She finished just six 3-pointers shy of the WNBA record, set by New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu in 2023.
The obvious is now official - Caitlin Clark has been named the WNBA's Rookie of the Year for the 2024 season.
The announcement came on Thursday afternoon.
Clark received 66 of the 67 first-place votes - the other was given to Angel Reese.
As you can say about any phenom, this is just the start of Clark's career. We'll hear much more in the coming years.

I'm glad that you have a good feeling about this person. Sometimes white people can jump.
ReplyDeleteMy problem with her and Taylor Swift.....I get a weird "they aren't the gender they claim to be..." feeling.
Sorry to burst your bubble
You aren't bursting anything. Caitlin is a biological female and if there were any way to collect my money from you I would be willing to make a hefty wager. I don't know anything about Taylor Swift, I'd take your word on her but I'm not sure you're a good judge.
