    Luka Doncic's Commending Praise For Caitlin Clark Resurfaces

    By Cole Sullivan,

    2024-08-31

    Luka Doncic and Caitlin Clark have some key attributes in common. They both have elite basketball IQs and can shoot it from anywhere on the floor, and Doncic's clip from this past NBA season resurfaced after Clark's massive performance Friday night.

    Clark scored 31 points and added 12 assists en route to a victory over the Chicago Sky. The Indiana Fever are now in comfortable playoff contention and are looking to end a seven-year playoff drought.

    Doncic is coming off his first NBA Finals appearance this past season and has supplanted himself as one of the best players in basketball, and he had high praise for Caitlin Clark during an interview.

    "That's the women's Steph Curry. She can shoot it better than me." Doncic said

    The video resurfaced last night after Clark's unreal outing on the road, leading her team to a much-needed victory.

    Clark leads all rookies in points, assists, steals, field goal made, three pointers made, and free throw percentage. Averaging 18.4 points, 8.3 assists, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.4 steals.

    The Fever have eight games remaining in their season, and Clark may have stamped shut the rookie of the year race Friday night.

    how in the hell did this rivalry become such a divisive racist issue. ?sorry I may be ignorant but bird and magic were probably the best rivalry in my time.I honestly don't remember all this racial animosity. celebrate them while they are here regardless of race.it's really sad that even super celebrity all stars seem to be very divided on this regardless of the facts stats and objective information. when did it become commonplace to disregard and disrespect them as OK. let them compete and see what happens .don't be a jealous hater. seriously where would magic be or where would bird be without that common goal and competition?these ladies are improving this sport exponentially for everyone involved. there really doesn't need to be loser in this situation other than ignorant small minded people. sorry for the rant
