she's the first rookie to win WNBA player of the month since the awards Inception in 2010 and last night it was no exception they were Skyhigh for Caitlyn Clark and the fever but to start the season they had a little bit of a rough go of it they lost their first five games they ended up one and8 through their first nine games and during that first month the playoffs they didn't feel realistic at all Indie entered the Olympic break 11 and 15 on the year and then they really turned it around they' won seven of
their eight since they clinched a playoff birth for the first time since 2016 which by the way was the last year of Hall of Famer and franchise icon Tama C Caitlyn Clark just broke the WNBA rookie assist record and the fever rookie three-pointer record but that's not even the craziest part you won't believe what happened when she showed up at the Colts game with her boyfriend and teammate picture this Caitlyn walks into Lucas Oil Stadium with Lexi Hull and the place goes wild fans are losing their minds screaming her name trying to get a selfie
it's like a rock star just showed up the social media Buzz was insane everyone's posting about Caitlyn at the Colts game but here's the thing this isn't just about football this moment shows how big Caitlyn's getting she's not just a basketball player anymore she's becoming a sports icon and you know what's even crazier this is just the beginning Caitlyn star power is growing faster than anyone expected if Caitlyn Clark somehow wins the WNBA Championship this year she will have put together the greatest rookie season in the history of professional sport include Caitlyn Clark in the
conversation as I like to do but we're also going to bring the NFL Patrick Mahomes Lamar Jackson Caitlyn Clark Dion Sanders all in the same boat with historical perspective and knowledge and more than anything I'm going to blast the media the WNBA better watch out because kit Clark is about to change the game in ways we've never seen before while Caitlyn's offc Court Fame is skyrocketing her onc Court performance is even more mind-blowing she's not just playing well for a rookie she's playing like a seasoned Allstar but here's the kicker despite her incredible stats something's
not adding up with the League's response let's talk numbers for a second Caitlyn's racked up 497 points and dished out 232 assists in her rookie season that's not just good that's history making stuff Charles Barkley talking about the Caitlyn Clark phenomenon and the people he blames for blowing this whole Caitlyn Clark deal people believe what we say on television just because people don't like you or your personality they can't get on TV and slander you it's just total these ladies and I'm a WNBA fan they cannot have this Caitlyn Clark thing up any worse if
they try what is going on here and the thing I love about her she never says a word but these ladies who I love and respect their game they couldn't have this thing up she's not just keeping up with the pros she's leaving them in the dust imagine being so good that you're already mentioned in the same breath as some of the all-time greats that's Caitlyn Clark for you but it's not just about the stat Caitlyn's changing the game in ways we've never seen before you know how hard it is to fill seats at a
WNBA game well Caitlyn's making it look easy the Indiana Fever are seeing packed houses and record crowds every time she steps on the court it's like she's got some kind of basketball magic that turns casual fans into DieHard supporters overnight think about it when was the last time you heard about a WNBA game selling out now it's happening regularly and it's all because of one rookie that's the kind of impact we're talking about WNBA play of the week they have only been 40 triple doubles in the history of the WNBA Cheryl swoops recorded the first
WNBA triple dou during the 1999 season while Caitlyn Clark logged the most recent Triple double earlier this week she now has 102 on the season and is 19 away from Diana terasi in second place and 26 away from UNESCO of the New York Liberty Jan be Asia Wilson for the MVP but she's beating Angel ree for the Rookie of the Year that's a wrap that's over and props Angel ree who's had a good year by the way Caitlyn's not just playing basketball she's revolutionizing the entire sport some people are even saying she's having a Michael
Jordan effect on the WNBA you know bringing in new fans changing the economics of the game that kind of thing and let's be real when you're getting compared to MJ you know you're doing something right but here's where things get weird with all these incredible achievements you'd think the WNBA would be falling over themselves to Crown Caitlyn as rookie of the year right well hold on to your hat because that hasn't happened yet fans are scratching their heads wondering what more she needs to do to get that official recognition it's not like Caitlyn's just a
one-trick pony either she's out there leading team engaging with fans and showing everyone what it means to be a true professional she's got the whole package they've made Caitlyn Clark more interesting they've made Caitlyn Clark the biggest star in American Sports they got this conversation wrong the ladies the active players in the WNBA they haven't screwed up anything their little petty jealousy and sniping at Caitlyn Clark is why 2 million people are tuning in to watch Caitlyn Clark play basketball and to watch a bunch of other women blow layups every night skills on the court
leadership off it and a personality that's drawing people to the sport like never before so we've got a rookie who's breaking records left and right packing Arenas and changing the face of women's basketball you'd think this would be a slam dunk for the WNBA right a chance to Showcase their newest Superstar and ride the wave of excitement she's creating but something's off and fans are starting to notice hold up Caitlyn Clark's not the only one making wave her teammate Lexi Hull just had a game that's got everyone buzzing but here's the real shocker how Clark
reacted to Hull stealing her Thunder might surprise you remember Lexi Hull she's been flying under the radar but not anymore Hull just went off against the Seattle Storm dropping 22 points like it was nothing but get this she hits six out of seven three-pointers that's insane accuracy we're talking eight of 10 from the field overall it's like she couldn't miss if she tried this wasn't just a good game it was a game changer for the fever they crushed the storm 9275 and Hull was a big reason why the Atlanta Dreams set the record for the
biggest crowd to watch a WNBA game in Georgia history pretty exciting one of the big reasons fans flock to State Farm Arena is of course the Caitlyn Clark effect Caitlyn Clark tonight oh got to watch number 22 I've been watching Caitlyn for a couple of years and since then i' I've dreamed about coming to a game oh my God I got that she's with just brought a lot of to the WNBA and also to the game itself and for women so women sports it's like she found a cheat code or something one minute she's a
role player the next she's torching one of the best teams in the league now you might think Caitlyn would be jealous right I mean Hull just stole her Spotlight but nope that's not how Caitlyn rolls instead she went on social media and basically turned her account into a Lexi Hull fan page she posted this is now a Lexi Hull fan account how cool is that it's like Caitlyn saying yeah I'm the star but look at my teammate go this whole thing isn't just about one hot game it's showing us something bigger about the fever These
Girls Aren't just teammates they're friends real friends the kind that hype each other up and celebrate each other's wins you know how some star players get all weird when someone else on the team has a big game the WNBA was nothing before Caitlyn Clark and she has made it into something I know how great she is because of Caitlyn Clark the arque amagali and I'm sorry if I messed up the name the girl in Dallas that girl's a baller these guys are all working off of platforms they were already built long before they got there
and they have not elevated that platform not Caitlyn she's all about lifting her teammates up it's like she knows that when Hull succeeds the whole team gets better that's leadership folks and get this Clark and Hull aren't just work buddies they went on vacation together in Mexico can you imagine Sun sand and probably a whole lot of basketball talk that's the kind of bonding that translates to chemistry on the court but wait it gets better there was this press conference where Hull made some joke about her defense and Clark just lost it we're talking uncontrollable
laughter it's like watching two friends who can't keep it together in class that's the kind of vibe you want on a team and it's after Clark was picked stores rolled out Caitlyn Clark Indiana Fever jerseys and t-shirts fans are on the hunt for anything and everything Clark now that she's officially a member of the Indiana Fever away from Christmas time through I mean we didn't have nearly enough in stock for just the regular Jersey t-shirts and whatnot um and then it's just been non-stop orders coming in still today dick Weiss posted that more Caitlyn Clark
Indiana Fever jerseys were sold in one day than the cowboy sold last year for the entire team this Clark hle connection isn't just cute friendship goals it's changing how the fever play when your star player and your role players are clicking like this it opens up the whole game defenses can't just focus on stopping Caitlyn anymore now they've got to worry about Hull going off too and let's be real this is exactly what the fever needed the hottest team in the WNBA right now is the Indiana Fever Kelsey Mitchell has been balling Lexi Hall has
been an X Factor and that was a great chess move just getting this line up with chemistry as for this win streak though Caitlyn has created 224 points between points scored herself and points assisted that's almost 45 points per game and the most by any player ever during a five game win they've been struggling for years but now now they've got a superstar in Clark a breakout player in Hull and a team that actually likes each other that's a recipe for Success if I've ever seen one Caitlyn Clark's killing it on the court but off
the court that's where things get wild you'd think everyone would be tripping over themselves to celebrate her success right wrong the WNBA is acting strange Nike's gone silent and Clark's fighting a whole new battle let's talk about that Rookie of the Year award usually the WNBA is all over this announcing it way before the MVP but with Caitlyn crickets it's like they're hesitating and fans are starting to wonder why he's away and we'll be locked in the whole way through here are the first round matchups Liberty versus the dream Lynx versus Mercury Sun fever in
the 4 five match up the Aces versus the storm but how about the fever I feel like it's a great accomplishment but like there's so much more left to be done like yeah we made the playoffs there's six regular season games yeah they're a very dangerous team coming into this uh postseason you know they always tell you that the team that you want to watch out for are the teams that get hot at the right time is it because she's getting too popular are they afraid she'll overshadow the league whatever the reason it's not a
good look and then there's Nike you'd expect them to be Plastering Caitlyn's face everywhere right I mean she's their newest Star athlete but nope no new ads no updates nothing it's like they forgot they signed her fans are not happy about this Clark now has an 8-year $28 million deal with Nike that will include her own signature shoe Caitlyn Clark continues to set the bar when it comes to her impact on female Athletics go out there compete with her try to bust her up if you want to and all of that stuff just don't hate
on the Acclaim that she's getting they're calling out Nike saying Caitlyn deserv deserves better and honestly they've got a point but here's where it gets really interesting Caitlyn's not just sitting back and taking it she's pushing for change big time she's talking about better pay and revenue sharing for all WNBA players we're talking game-changing stuff here imagine if players got a cut of ticket sales that could be huge for the league the thing is the WNBA is not exactly jumping at these ideas they're resisting and it's creating this weird tension on one side you've got
Caitlyn this Rising Star who's bringing in fans changing the game on the other you've got a league that seems scared of change it's not just about Caitlyn either this is about all WNBA players better pay better conditions more recognition Caitlyn's using her Spotlight to fight for everyone and that's pretty awesome but it's also putting her in a tough spot with the league Caitlyn Clark remember that girl that Superstar playing for Iowa that ended up going to the final four she's got one of the hottest selling jerseys in sports y according to Fanatics led by the
one and only Michael Rubin the deal is the richest sponsorship contract for a women's basketball player she deserves it so now we've got this situation where the biggest star in women's basketball is kind of at odds with the league she plays for it's like watching a championship game but instead of on the court it's happening in boardrooms and on social media and you know what's crazy this could change everything if Caitlyn wins this fight it's not just her that benefits it's every player in the WNBA now and in the future we're talking about a whole
new era for women's basketball but it's not going to be easy the WNBA has been doing things their way for a long time Kaylin Clark became the first ever rookie in WNBA history to record a triple double twice in the same season in that game Clark scored her 100 three-point shot this season becoming just the sixth women my WNBA player of the week surprise surprise Indiana Fever rookie sensation Caitlyn Clark there's nothing really to say other than that she's win a rookie of the year she's a top candy for the league MP honest change is
hard especially when it comes to money but if anyone can make it happen it's Caitlyn she's already proven she can change the game on the court now she's trying to change it off the court too Caitlyn Clark's Journey from college Superstar to WNBA sensation is mindblowing first time they've tasted the playoffs since 2016 but don't think for a second they're just content to be in the postseason and this Indiana Fever team has most certainly gotten hot at the right time they figured out how to jail with each other the chemistry that they've built the backc
court between Caitlyn Clark and Kelsey Mitchell who Mitchell is really coming in to this season She's Not Just dominating on the court she's changing the game off it too the Indiana Fever are on fire breaking attendance records left and right it's like everyone wants a piece of the Caitlyn Clark magic but here's the thing this is just the beginning the fever are eyeing their first playoff spot since 2016 and Caitlyn's leading the charge she's not just playing basketball she's inspiring a whole new generation of players you know what's crazy Caitlyn's loving every minute of it
she's all about that Indie life saying it feels like a small community that supports each other with Caitlyn at the helm and teammates like Lexi Hull stepping up the future of women's basketball is looking brighter than ever this isn't just a moment it's a movement
