Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark, already a viral sensation for her deep-range shooting, has earned the admiration of NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal.
O’Neal, who personally witnessed Clark play, was impressed by her game, stating “She can play.” He praised her basketball IQ, ability to involve teammates, and “Steph Curry range” shooting. Clark’s impressive season has led her to be in the running for the WNBA MVP award, as she averages 19.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, and a league-leading 8.5 assists.
Her impact has helped the Fever reach the playoffs for the first time since 2016. While Clark’s unique skills and play style have drawn comparisons to Curry, she continues to prove her doubters wrong and cement her place as one of the league’s top players.
