Caitlin Clark’s iconic new throw had fans making legendary comparisons

Caitlin Clark appears to be in top form as the regular season draws to a close ahead of the Indiana Fever’s thrilling playoff run. That’s bad news for the rest of the WNBA.

Clark recorded her second triple-double of her WNBA career, leading the Fever to a 93-86 win over the Los Angeles Sparks on Wednesday, helping Indiana to its seventh win in its last eight games. Since her first season with Iowa, Clark’s teams are now an astonishing 19-0 when she records a triple-double.

Clark, who finished with 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, was seemingly everywhere on the court. The rookie superstar delivered a perfect behind-the-back pass to her teammate and buried three-pointers when her team needed it most, but her most dazzling moment may have come early in the game.

In the first quarter, Clark attacked the basket and then stepped back to hit a fadeaway mid-range shot, off one leg.

Here’s another angle.

Fans immediately compared Clark’s smooth fadeaway to NBA legends Dirk Nowitzki and Michael Jordan. It was just that good, and it will make her that much harder to defend as the postseason begins.
