The photo showed Diana Taurasi admitting that Clark has proved her prediction about performing in the WNBA wrong, and reality is finally catching up to her.

"Thank you, unfortunately, reality is coming to me now," Taurasi told Clark after she congratulated her on retirement during the show.

Despite Taurasi's pessimism, Clark got the hang of the league after a poor start and eventually led the Fever to the postseason in her rookie year.

It's something she's proud of, as evidenced by her comment, especially as Taurasi is widely regarded as one of the greatest women's basketball players.
