Caitlin Clark’s first season in the WNBA was incredible with the Indiana Fever, as she took the league by storm similar to what she did in Iowa with the Hawkeyes as she became a reference in collegiate sports by breaking every record possible.
Just incredible enough was her reaction to her first ever invitation to join Team USA, as it was a pivotal moment in her budding basketball career. Initially, she couldn’t fully grasp the magnitude of the opportunity, but as reality set in, her excitement and determination soared.
Clark recalled the experience as “crazy,” noting how initially she wasn’t aware of what it entailed, but upon trying out and making the team, the significance hit home. This milestone was a testament to her hard work and talent, and on a video circulating on social media, everyone can see it as well.

Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson has emerged as one of the most prominent figures in women’s basketball. Her outstanding achievements and dominant performances on the court have boosted her confidence in her skills. However, this confidence has recently caused her some trouble, as NBA fans criticized her for a recent statement she made.
In a recent episode of the “Roommates” show, Wilson stunned both the NBA and WNBA by claiming that she could defeat New York Knicks star Josh Hart in a one-on-one matchup. Additionally, she predicted that the final score would be 11-8.
“Score would be 11-8, me. I’m not saying you gonna go scoreless, 8 to 11 is pretty solid. So, what do you think it’ll be, Josh?” Wilson said.
Although Josh and Wilson both had a good laugh during their conversation, Wilson’s comment stirred up the basketball community. “She’d lose 11-0 w him only playing w his offhand,” one fan said.
