Caitlin Clark looks back and ranks the defining moments of her WNBA and NCAA career
Clark has established many records during her career in Iowa and Indiana
The 30th WNBA season is on a short break until September 17th due to the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup in Berlin, and when the action returns all 15 teams will play the final four remaining games in their schedule during the last week of the regular season, which concludes on September 24 .
These final games will serve to sort out playoff seedings and major individual honors. In the MVP race , the battle has narrowed down to a fierce two-player contest between four-time winner A'ja Wilson , who is a last-minute withdrawal from the World Cup due to health reasons and is leading the league in scoring for a third consecutive year.
The other player is Caitlin Clark , whose unprecedented offensive production accounts for a staggering 41.4 points created per game , standing as the highest mark in league history backed by 22.5 PPG and a league-leading 8.4 APG .
Caitlin Clark Ranks Her Top Career Milestones
With the league on pause, State Farm , one of Caitlin Clark's premier sponsors, produced a feature video asking the superstar guard to rank her defining basketball moments across her legendary NCAA run with Iowa and her professional career with the Indiana Fever , where she has already established numerous all-time records.
Clark noted that every milestone holds a unique place in her journey, but she awarded the top spot to the historic shot against Michigan in 2024 that officially crowned her the NCAA all-time leading scorer , men and women included.
Clark finished her collegiate career in Iowa City with an astonishing 3,951 total points , a standard that looks virtually unbreakable given her career average of nearly 30 points per game.
Taking second place on her personal list was capturing the Rookie of the Year award , punctuated by a historic debut campaign where she set single-season rookie records for points (769) , three-pointers ( 122 ), and assists ( 337 ).
Rounding out the podium at third was the milestone night she secured her first WNBA triple-double , registering 19 points, 12 rebounds, and 13 assists , to become the first rookie in league history and the first Fever player to accomplish the feat in a victory over New York.
From All-Star Highlights to Overcoming Early Rookie Struggles
The fourth entry on Clark's countdown highlighted her appearance in the WNBA All-Star Game against Team USA prior to the Paris Olympic Games.
That showcase stands as the most-watched All-Star Game in league history , and Clark added to the spectacle by setting the rookie single-game assist record with 10 dimes while leading her squad to victory.
Taking the fifth spot was reaching the 1,000 career point threshold during the opening game of this season, a milestone she humbly admitted carried little personal weight at the moment since she wasn't even tracking when it happened.
Finally, rounding out the list at sixth, Clark looked back at her very first professional regular-season game, a tough loss to the Connecticut Sun where she finished with 20 points alongside a WNBA debut-record 10 turnovers .
Now, at just 24 years old and playing the most dominant basketball of her life, Clark is positioned to add plenty of new unforgettable chapters to her resume over the final stretch of this season and for years to come.
