WATCH: $3.2M NIL-valued Caitlin Clark flaunts unique screensaver featuring 28x Olympic medalist Michael Phelps in action

Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes celebrated a 94-87 victory over the LSU Tigers. Following the game, Clark engaged in numerous interviews and press conferences. During one lighthearted interview, the 22-year-old was asked to share her phone's screensaver.

The swimming shot of the legendary 28-time Olympic medalist, Michael Phelps, adorned her phone's screensaver. She showed it to the camera and said:

"It's pretty tough."

And tough it definitely was, because the 38-year-old replied to the interview. Phelps wrote:

"Honored!!! This is so cool!"

It is always heartwarming to see rising stars like Caitlin Clark, whose NIL valuation of $3.2 million (per On3), take inspiration from iconic star athletes like Michael Phelps.

Apart from showing her phone's screensaver, Clark also admitted that guarding against the squads of the LSU Lady Tigers, South Carolina Gamecocks, and Paige Bueckers has always been a challenge for her. Once again, Caitlin Clark is not afraid to give credit to her fellow talented college athletes.
