Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark is arguably the face of the WNBA, continuing to set records, put butts in the seats, and bring the television ratings in the same way that she has since breaking onto the scene as a prolific scorer at Iowa.
While Clark has never won a major championship, she has helped to elevate the game and brought “excitement” that a casual fan thought women’s college basketball and the WNBA were lacking.
Now, as a player who has never been afraid to shoot from the logo, she has developed a loyal following and has helped to revolutionize the game.
But while Clark is a star on the court, she has largely kept her personal life off of the court private. Despite her privacy, fans do get the occassional glimpse at what makes the superstar guard tick when she’s away from the game.
