So, for sure I gotta go to one game to see her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Clark previously served as a <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/news\/caitlin-clark-works-as-a-photographer-for-the-indiana-pacers-as-they-host-lebron-and-the-lakers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">guest photographer<\/a> during the Lakers&#8217; 137-130 win over the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">She also revealed that she&#8217;s looking to model her game after Don\u010di\u0107 during an <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/25384249-caitlin-clark-hypes-lakers-luka-doncic-beats-jamal-crawford-shooting-competition-video\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">appearance<\/a> on NBC&#8217;s pregame show ahead of a matchup between Los Angeles and the New York Knicks on Feb. 1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">&#8220;Luka&#8217;s amazing. He&#8217;s incredible,&#8221; Clark said at the time. &#8220;I think the way he can not only score the ball but also the way he passes. And I think the thing about him, he&#8217;s not always the fastest, he&#8217;s not the most athletic, but he can make a defender move to where he wants him to go and he takes up that space and he does a really good job of keeping the defender behind him or keeping him to the side. I think that&#8217;s something I can certainly learn from.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">The two-time WNBA All-Star is entering her third season with the Fever.
