Of course, there are critics of how Clark's rise has been prioritized over other black players who are regarded as being on a similar level of talent, but are overlooked due to their race.

Caitlin can actually play ball. Other athletes, it's awkward to watch them to play.

Sabrina Ionescu who came out of Oregon University, was the pre-Caitlin in 2020. During NBA all star weekend, she had a three point contest against Steph Curry, and she acquitted herself well.

I am surprised a player named Elena Delle Donne isn't more famous.

Once I was musing to myself that shooting (in basketball) might be something women could do about as well as men.

In the NBA there have been 14 50-40-90 seasons by 10 players since the first one in 86/87. (Larry Bird has two, Steve Nash has four, and is one free throw from five in a row.)

One G League player has done it. 11 player's have done it in men's NCAA basketball, with no one doing it more than once. I heard seven players in Euroleague have done it, but I don't have solid evidence.

Only one woman has done it at the pro or college level: Elena Delle Donne did it on 2019. (I can't find any list for this at the high school level.)
