    Whenever some meets Tom Brady, it's pretty easy to be starstruck by the seven-time Super Bowl champion.

    And South Carolina women's basketball coach Dawn Staley got to experience that first-hand while at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

    Staley met Brady and even shared a hug with the future Hall of Famer. After the encounter, she shared her thoughts on social media.

    "Yall I can not lie to you... don't you ever ever look directly into @TomBrady eyes......this man is seriously beautiful. And I shook his hand...the Super Bowlssss hand. And the hand was just as gorgeous. Ok I'm done but for real," Staley wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

    This proves she's just like the rest of us.

It was unprovoked and before the play started, however, the officials initially called it an away-from-the-ball foul, and didn't review the play.This foul quickly gained a lot of traction on social media, with everyone from sports figures to fans, commenting on the hate Clark has received. But with all that, many people also voiced their support. And Brittany Mahomes was one of them.

    "@caitlinclark22 keep doing your thing!!" Brittany wrote in her message to the Clark on her Instagram story. "You're a baller and it's incredible to see what you're doing for the game and women's sports!!"

    The WNBA reviewed Carter's foul and it was upgraded to a flagrant-1 violation.
