Caitlin Clark uses similarities to current NBA legends to reinterpret the history of the WNBA.

Caitlin Clark joined the WNBA in April and since then, she has had a good impact on the entire league. With 2.4 million viewers, Clark was the first overall selection in the most viewed WNBA Draft. In addition, she was chosen as the player that received the most votes for the most viewed WNBA All-Star game ever, which attracted 3.44 million viewers—a startling 305% increase over the previous year. In 14 of the 16 games that attracted more than a million people, Clark was a featured player. He has also outperformed all expectations in terms of record-breaking ratings, merchandise sales, social media interactions, and sell-out arenas.
Because of her amazing passing and three-point shooting, Steph Curry is the first NBA player that comes to mind when comparing Caitlin Clark to a player. But since playing in the WNBA again following the Olympic break, Clark has been hitting 62.7% of her shots from a distance of five feet or less. She actually leads all guards in 2-point field goal percentage, and she outconversions some of the league’s top big men when it comes to converting from close range. Another comparison to LeBron James has been made in light of these stats and her capacity to finish strong near the hoop.LeBron’s overall contribution to the game has always been greatly appreciated, and Caitlin is having a comparable effect. In the WNBA, Clark leads all guards in rebounds and blocks, is in the top 10 in scoring, and leads the team in assists. Given these adaptable abilities, she might even be compared to Magic Johnson or Russell Westbrook, two players renowned for packing the stat sheet. The fact that Clark is playing in her first WNBA season is particularly impressive, and if she stays healthy, her potential appearsFor the first time in her career, Clark was selected AP Player of the Week. Her team’s last game was a 22-8 loss to the Minnesota Lynx, but they have an opportunity to turn things around tonight when they play the Atlanta Dream on the road (10-18). The Liberty (25-5), Sun (22-7), and Lynx (22-8) have already guaranteed postseason berths; there are now just five spots left. Therefore, this game is vital for both teams. It looks like a battle between the Indiana Fever (13-16), Chicago Sky (11-18), and Atlanta Dream (10-18) to determine the final two playoff positions.Clark now leads the league in assists (8.3 per game), minutes played (35.3), points per game (17.9), and averages 5.7 rebounds with 29 games played and 11 games left on the Fever season. From leading the race for Rookie of the Year to being among the top three candidates for MVP, she has changed her status. However, it appears that A’Ja Wilson, who leads the league in scoring with 26.6 points per game and is attempting the second three-peat in WNBA history, may win this trophy.
