Indiana Fever rookie sensation Caitlin Clark got off to a tremendous start to her WNBA career. After being at the bottom of the WNBA standings last season, Clark has put the Fever in prime position to make the playoffs. Not only that, but every game it seems Clark is breaking some sort of WNBA record.
Clark first gained popularity during her college years playing for the Iowa Hawkeyes, and her fame has only continued to rise since she joined the WNBA, and that was proven even more over the weekend.
On Friday night, at the National Balloon Classic in Indianola, Iowa, drones created a display in the sky that featured Clark as one of the designs.
The drones formed a basketball hoop originally, then transitioned to Clark in her No. 22 jersey with her arms moving up and down as if she were hyping up a crowd. The drones also spelled out her last name.
WNBA fans were amazed by the drone’s display and took to social media to post their opinions on it.
“Awesome drone show in Indianola, IA at the National Balloon Classic! Caitlin Clark was even highlighted as part of the Iowa themed show!!”
“This is so freaking cool.”
“hometown phenom”
“awesome and so deserving – Caitlin Clark is a high riser transcending above while she takes her Fever team to new heights. Just the best ever.”
“Caitlin Clark is seen in the sky!”
“Wow this is so awesome”
Clark not only made the WNBA All-Star team in her rookie year but earned a starting spot and led Team WNBA to an upset win over Team USA. She also broke the record for most assists in a single WNBA All-Star game by a rookie.
With Indiana, Clark became the first rookie ever to record a triple-double, and in their most recent game against the Dallas Wings, she broke the all-time record for most assists in a single game with 19.
