WNBA star Caitlin Clark dropped a huge revelation on fans on Friday while attending the WNBA's orange carpet event to kick off All-Star weekend. While speaking with cameras during her arrival at the event, Clark revealed that in her junior year of high school (the third year of high school for US students) she had a 60-point game.
The cameraman tells Clark that he's been asking all of the WNBA players in attendance what their highest-scoring game was, before asking if she thinks anyone will have more. The admission blew away many fans given that the WNBA single-game scoring record is 53 points.
While scoring at the WNBA level is certainly much more difficult than scoring as a high school student, a 60-point game is nothing to scoff at regardless of the level.
"60 points. Junior year of high. School ... That's probably got to be up there? You would think, I don't know, somebody else might beat me."
In response to the admission, fans were quick to share their reactions in the comments section.

Others praised Caitlin Clark for her outfit, and her handling of media obligations:

Others were complementary of Clark as a star, both on and off the court:


Looking at the top-scoring games by active WNBA players and WNBA legends after Caitlin Clark's 60-piece game in high school
While Caitlin Clark's 60-point game left many fans stunned, as some pointed out, however, Cheryl Miller, the sister of NBA legend Reggie Miller, who is coaching the WNBA All-Stars in Saturday's game against Team USA has her beat.
In 1982, Miller recorded 105 points against Notre Vista High School, marking one of the highest-scoring games by a US basketball player at any level. Of course, as the individual interviewing Caitlin Clark made clear, he was asking active players who were on the WNBA's orange carpet.
When looking at the WNBA All-Star roster, and the Team USA roster, who the WNBA All-Stars will be playing against on Saturday, one name jumps out. A'ja Wilson and Liz Cambage are both currently tied for the WNBA's single-game scoring record with 53 points.
Cambage broke the single-game scoring record back in 2018, beating out Riquna Williams, who scored 51 points back in 2013. A'ja Wilson then tied Cambage's record late last season with a 53-point performance on Aug. 22.
In addition, several members of the Team USA Olympic team, who will be competing against the WNBA All-Stars this weekend, rank in the top ten for highest-scoring games in WNBA history.
Diana Taurasi is currently tied for fourth place on the single-game scoring ladder with 47 points, while Breanna Stewart sits just behind her with 45 points. Both Taurasi, and Elena Delle Donne, who isn't playing for Team USA or the WNBA All-Stars are also tied with Stewart with their own 45 point games.
With the WNBA seeing a scoring boom in recent years much like the NBA has, it will be interesting to see if and when anyone is able to break the 53-point record set by Wilson and Cambage.
