Caitlin Clark just refuses to stop winning awards, and fans are here for it – though at this rate, they may need to invent some new trophies to keep her busy. Despite no longer suiting up in Iowa’s black and gold, Clark has added yet another shiny accolade to her collection: the Division I College Sports Communicators (CSC) All-American Team Member of the Year for the 2023-24 season.
Apparently, the Iowa trophy cabinet was feeling lonely, and Clark, ever the generous soul, obliged by giving it some more company. She first bagged the CSC honor back in 2023 during the Hawkeyes’ thrilling NCAA finals run and has now decided to double down on the achievement. Not content with being the first Hawkeye to win the award, she’s now also the only one to win it twice. Why win once when you can win twice, right?
Fans Bring the GOAT Energy
Unsurprisingly, Clark’s fans wasted no time in showering her with praises. If there’s one thing they love more than watching her drain deep threes, it’s hopping online to anoint her as the basketball messiah.
“Go Caitlin Go! You’re the best! You will break ever record!” one superfan gushed, clearly too hyped to notice that they meant “every” – but hey, grammar can wait when you’re talking about the GOAT.
Another fan dropped a simple “SHES THE GOAT,” sparing no time for punctuation because, let’s be honest, when you’re discussing Caitlin Clark, grammar rules are optional. Another proclaimed her their “⭐ My ⭐ Favorite ⭐ Star ⭐” because if the emoji button exists, why not use it with reckless abandon?
In a twist, one elderly fan even chimed in: “It’s bed e for this 74-year-old Nona. I will be looking for every game!!!” Because nothing screams “Caitlin Clark” more than turning grandmas into die-hard fans.
Caitlin’s Award Vault is Practically Overflowing
Seriously, at this point, is there any award that Clark hasn’t won? Fans seem to be asking the same question. “Is there an award she hasn’t won??? Congratulations CC!!! SO well deserved 👏👏👏🖤💛,” one particularly enthusiastic supporter wrote, providing the necessary clap emojis for extra emphasis. By now, even Clark must be running out of shelf space – perhaps her next honor should be for “Best Use of Ikea Furniture in a Trophy Room.”
Another fan drew an amusing comparison between Clark and some other sporting legends: “Lebron is Captain America and Caitlin is Captain Marvel🔥🔥,” because apparently, the basketball universe requires superheroes to keep things balanced.
Declining the 3×3 Showdown – Clark’s Focus is All WNBA
In a world where Caitlin Clark can seemingly do no wrong, there’s one thing she’s not interested in: playing in the new 3×3 Unrivaled league. Despite the hype surrounding the star-studded offseason tournament founded by Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart – which includes WNBA big names like Chelsea Gray, Arike Ogunbowale, and Kelsey Plum – Clark has graciously declined. Sorry, 3×3 fans, no Caitlin for you.
She even shut down rumors about her involvement with the finesse of a seasoned PR expert, stating, “I’m just focused on this right now [WNBA], one thing at a time.” Spoken like a true star who knows the art of dodging distractions and unwanted commitments. Clark’s laser focus remains on leading the Indiana Fever to their first post-season appearance since 2016. Yes, the Fever are on a playoff drought longer than a Game of Thrones season, but if anyone can fix that, it’s Caitlin Clark.
Clark’s Rookie Year So Far: A Learning Curve?
Statistically speaking, Clark’s rookie year in the WNBA has been solid, with an average of 17.1 points, 8.2 assists, and 5.2 rebounds per game. But for someone whose pre-game range extends to the logo, expectations are through the roof. While she’s shooting a respectable 40.5% from the field, her three-point percentage sits at 32.7%, which might not seem like much unless you compare it to, you know, regular human standards.
The question remains: how long until she’s draining 50-foot bombs like it’s warm-up? It’s only a matter of time before Clark adjusts to the WNBA and has opposing defenses scrambling to find solutions. We just hope the Fever management can keep up.
