- Indiana Fever. Caitlin Clark s Chiefs fans in celebrating nail-biting win over Chargers
- Chicago Sky. Angel Reese deliberately derails an interview with a daring question: "What are you asking me?"
The Indiana Fever won't let anyone forget Caitlin Clark's rookie campaign anytime soon. In a recent post to celebrate WNBA Rookie Week, the team paid tribute to its star, listing every record and accomplishment she achieved in her first year as a professional.
Clark came to the WNBA as the first pick in the 2024 Draft. Coming from the University of Iowa, the rookie had an almost immediate impact on the team, raising its record from 13-27 in 2023 to 20-20, leading to its first postseason appearance in seven years.
As expected, the Fever did not want to miss the opportunity to pay a well-deserved tribute to its star, in a post that began by saying: "Tipping off #WNBARookieWeek celebration with our Rookie of the Year, @caitlinclark22."
The reason why Clark is a star
In the extensive post, Indiana detailed each of Clark's achievements, starting with her being named to the All-WNBA First Team. It recalled that she was the league's overall leader in Assists Per Game, with 8.4, and in three-pointers scored (122).
Clark was also the first rookie in WNBA history to achieve a triple-double, a feat she accomplished twice. The first was in July against the New York Liberty with 19 points, 12 rebounds, and 13 assists. The second was in September against the Los Angeles Sparks with 24-10-10.
She also led all rookies in points per game (19.2), steals per game (1.3), field goals made average (6.1), and three-pointers made (3.1). Clark also broke the rookie records for points, assists, and three-pointers with 769, 337, and 122, respectively.
Fans are in love with CC
Congratulations from fans were quick to flood the replies section of the Instagram post. "Record breaker, game changer," one fan exclaimed, followed by another saying "This is LEGENDARY, truly mind-blowing & inspirational," while a third noted "Greatest rookie season ever."
Another summed up the feeling of the Fever fanbase by predicting, "Caitlin Clark owns most of the rookie records and many all-time WNBA records too. I can't wait to see what records she shatters next season! She probably will break many of her own records."
