Caitlin Clark sticks it to her haters with another astounding and historic WNBA achievement

This week, Caitlin Clark shut her haters up once again with another impressive WNBA achievement.

Caitlin Clark became a phenomenon in basketball during her final two seasons with the Iowa Hawkeyes. She took the program to consecutive championship games and the team became a television ratings monster during their runs through the NCAA Tournament.

She was a darling to many basketball fans. However, quite a few veterans of the WNBA did not welcome her to the league with open arms. And there was surprising pushback over the immense attention she received. Her rough start to her professional career only seemed to embolden her detractors. However, it wasn’t long before she started to turn things around and took the league by storm just like she did the college ranks.

During a sensational rookie season, Caitlin Clark set a plethora of WNBA records. She led the Indiana Fever back to the postseason for the first time in nearly a decade. And she unsurprisingly earned Rookie of the Year honors. However, it was revealed this week that she secured another achievement rarely seen from a rookie in the league.

Caitlin Clark joined Napheesa Collier, A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, and Alyssa Thomas on the 2024 All-WNBA First Team. Below, you can get a look at many of the other amazing records and achievements the star guard achieved in her first WNBA season.
