The Wilson collaboration is not the first parallel between Caitlin Clark and Michael Jordan. The WNBA star has been compared to Jordan for a while now, thanks to her impressive resume. In her college career, Clark became the all time scorer in the NCAA for both men and women’s basketball and led the University of Iowa to two NCAA championship games. The transformation that Clark has had over the years, and all of her impressive feats, has many thinking that she is the next Jordan.
One person on X, formerly known as Twitter, posted a video of the audience that the University of Iowa star pulled in at one of her games, writing, “Caitlin Clark really is the next Michael Jordan. She’s doing for women’s basketball exactly what MJ did years ago and it is so exciting for women’s basketball.” Prior to becoming the Indiana Fever’s No. 1 pick in the WNBA, sports fans were already predicting that she would make a splash no matter what team she wound up with. Another user said, “Wherever Caitlin Clark goes to play, it’s a sell out. This is like Michael Jackson, like Michael Jordan. She’s the biggest deal in sports, and will be that for the foreseeable future.” High expectations have been placed on Clark, but she’s trying her best not to let it get to her.
