God, I love this woman. I’ve purchased season tickets to see her in Indiana. Go Caitlin!

[burnout]

She got me to watch women's basketball. She has the potential to be a superstar! The WNBA should embrace her!!!!

[YearoftheWoodDRAGON]

Positivity for a long and wonderful career for CC.

[shawnuel]

She acquitted herself quite well on SNL! Clearly not a theater major but a couple of times, she showed surprisingly good timing on punchlines.

[imaloserdude]

They better et her play! USA! The viewership will be like the 92 Dream Team.

[rasheedrashad]

She's worth literally millions of dollars to the WNBA. So my advice to all the players and likely haters in the league. Keep your mouth shut, and get paid.

[walterlv]

This lady's got the right stuff - not every 22 year old could handle being the public face of an entire sport, especially one that is breaking into the mainstream.

[DREAMCATCHER]

She great because not only is she a great athlete SHES A GREAT HUMAN

[wolfpack]

Hopefully she’ll stay normal in life. Young girls are looking up to her.

Caitlyn Clark is like a total solar eclipse, possessing the unexpected power to cause us Americans to overcome all our differences and come together as one united people in favor of solar eclipses and basketball because we are so awestruck of never having seen anything quite like this before. And we should remember, an eclipse occurred just a few days before Clark's entry to the WNBA and interpret this as a sign of good fortune for aspiring astronomers and basketball fans everywhere. O my people! Thank God for solar eclipses and Caitlyn Clark!

That was fun. 😂

*Shes a class act and amazing player. Hope she has an amazing career ahead of her.🐐*

[voguehaven]

She's so sweet. I would buy her shoe brand if she had one.

[rondeckard]

She is the best college basketball player of all time

[stanwebb]

First to be able write the goals down in 2nd grade is a great feat it self then to be able follow through is another.... This Lady has to have a high IQ for life in general then the Basketball IQ as you know is off the charts!!!! Great Luck

Her three point shot and passing ability is exciting to watch but the ball behind the back cannot be dismissed.

[EetsBack]

World! Welcome to the Caitlin Clark effect.

[phmagnani]

She has to be in the Olympic team, otherwise I won´t watch the games.

[redbunnytail]

Clark have versatile appearance. She look every bit the basketball, non vanity type girl on the court. Then she change into this sophisticated, attractive female, if situation require her to be, like personal interview. It a sign of the time, with social media, and every person have multiple personality. Some do very well with it. Some not. People think they can 'stack' against Clark, as she try her hand at pro sport, and they gonna find it better to get on the Clark 'caravan.'

[ttaylor]

Amazed at how hard some people try to find something negative about Clark. Makes me think/hope the posters are 12 years old. Can’t be adults, can it?

[luciroads]

It's so nice to see a positive person interviewed like CC rather than Debbie Downer Trump issues for a change,
