Caitlin Clark has become unstoppable on and off the court after her Ohio State game, which made her the leading scorer in the NCAA. The Iowa guard is soon to set foot in the WNBA, as the anticipation is higher for Indiana to pick the coveted player.
Clark's incredible feats have altered the way that people view women's sports and elevated them to new heights. The 22-year-old won Big Ten Player of the Year, signed two significant NIL deals, and set a new record in just five days.
As the cherry on top, Clark participated in an exclusive interview with Robin Roberts on "Good Morning America," which was broadcast on Thursday morning on Local 5 (ABC).
During the interview, they discussed Clark's recent achievements, her journey to success, and aspirations for her basketball career in the future. As a main part of the discussion, the $3.1 million worth (according to ON3) Clark opened up about the prejudice around the competitive spirit in Women's hoop.
"I think it still does surprise me that people get a little distraught about things like women being competitive and getting into little arguments on the court or having a little trash talk and that's how it should be I think more than anything, its surprising you guys didn't know this how women sports are play," Clark said.
Trash-talking has always existed in sports. Even Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese rose to prominence for their March Madness trash-talking.
