What a performance from Caitlin Clark ๐
She sets a new career-high in 3PM and notches a double-double leading the @IndianaFever to the road win ๐ฅ
37 PTS (game-high)
10 AST (game-high)
8 3PM (game-high)
historic night for Caitlin Clark โค๏ธโ๐ฅ
she hit a career-high 8 threes and now has more 30+ PTS & 10+ AST games in her career with 5 than the rest of the WNBA has combined in league history (4).
I think this is the part of Caitlin Clark fandom that people outside Iowa sometimes don't understand.
Iowa is a small state. No pro teams. You grow up there, you're a Hawkeye for life.
We don't expect national championships. Our players just become family.
And Caitlin?
She's FROM Iowa.
She could've gone anywhere in the country. She chose Iowa. And for four years, we watched this kid from West Des Moines do things we'd never seen before.
Logo threes. Insane passes. Scoring records. Kinnick. Carver losing its fucking mind. Two Final Fours. Two national championship games.
She made being an Iowa fan feel like being at the center of the sports universe.
Now she's in the WNBA.
And there's SO much noise.
MVP debates. GOAT debates. Championships. Hot takes. Social media drama. People who love her. People who seemingly wake up every morning looking for a reason to hate her.
And here's the thing:
A lot of us Iowa CC fans just don't give a shit. ๐
Never wins a WNBA MVP?
She's still the GOAT to us.
Never wins a WNBA championship?
She's still the GOAT to us.
Because we've already got four years of memories that nobody can ever take away.
Everything she's doing in the W now?
We're enjoying the hell out of it.
The rest is background noise.
We rode with our girl when she wore IOWA across her chest.
We'll ride with her wherever this thing goes.
The WNBA gets Caitlin Clark now.
Iowa gets her forever. ๐ค๐
CC POTW (again) ๐ฅ
