Caitlin Clark has 'a Michael Jordan mindset' and is 'Taylor Swift in tennis shoes'
Caitlin Clark had her fifth career 30-point-plus, 10-assist-plus performance against the Chicago Sky. The rest of WNBA history includes four such games.
Fox Sports commentator Colin Cowherd compared Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark to basketball legends Michael Jordan and Steph Curry. He described her playing style as having a "Michael Jordan mindset" and likened her to a "Taylor Swift in tennis shoes." Cowherd noted that Clark's success is a major reason for the WNBA's financial growth, with improved player pay, better travel conditions, and a lucrative TV deal.
Although Clark has addressed on-court issues, she has avoided controversial social topics, such as the inclusion of transgender women in women's sports. Cowherd acknowledged that while the league has faced controversies, Clark remains focused on the game, much like Michael Jordan, who achieved success while maintaining a business-like approach.
Clark averages 22.1 points, 8.3 assists, and 3.8 rebounds per game, ranking third, first, and first, respectively, in the WNBA. Her shooting percentages are impressive as well, at 45% overall, 36.8% from three, and 83.8% from the free-throw line.
