WNBA legend names Caitlin Clark and Fever as her preferred championship pick

WNBA legend Lauren Jackson has expressed her preference for the Indiana Fever to win the championship, citing Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell as the primary reasons. Jackson praised Clark's impressive play and Mitchell's impressive skills during an appearance on Sue Bird’s "Bird’s Eye View" podcast. While Indiana's fifth-place standing makes them an unconventional championship choice, their strong offensive rating and the combined scoring of Clark and Mitchell make them a formidable contender.

Jackson's support reflects the respect Indiana's offense has earned, though the Fever still have work to do before the playoffs.
