Caitlin Clark was all over the headlines for leading Nike's Super Bowl commercial alongside other top women's basketball players like A'ja Wilson and Sabrina Ionescu. Clark and Co. made waves as it was the first Super Bowl commercial in 30 years.

Not only that, it was the brand's most-watched video on Instagram with 66.7 million views in a record time, the highest for any post on Nike's official IG handle. Clark shared some behind-the-scenes shoot pictures from the commercial on her Instagram on Monday.

Several players hyped Clark with comments on the post, including her new teammate, Sophie Cunningham, who joined the Fever via trade in the offseason. Cunningham left a heartfelt four-word reaction, saying:

"wait this is badass!!!"

Cunningham joins Clark and Co. on a one-year deal from the Mercury on a $100,000 contract, enforcing the Fever's backcourt and defensive depth with her 3-and-D ability. Cunningham was a vital cog on the Mercury and is expected to elevate the Fever with skills. She averaged 8.4 ppg, 3.9 rpg and 2.0 apg last year, shooting 37.8% from 3.


Caitlin Clark gets candid on Fever's offseason spending

Caitlin Clark is hyped for the Indiana Fever and what they could produce next season after a flashy offseason saw them acquire major pieces like DeWanna Bonner, Natasha Howard and Sophie Cunningham. The Fever also brought back veteran Kelsey Mitchell in free agency. After Bonner's introductory press conference on Monday, Clark opened up on the Fever's roster building, saying:

"I'm really excited. I think Kelly (Krauskopf) and Amber (Cox) have done a really good job of finding pieces that fit," Clark said. "It makes me excited about the future. With Steph and her staff coming in here, my ability to work out with Keith [Porter] all offseason has been really fun, I got to work out with DB (DeWanna Bonner).

Clark added these pieces are vital to the Fever's championship hopes.

"So, adding pieces of players that have been in this league ... they know what it takes to win, to get to the finals, to win championships," Clark said. "I think that’s exactly what we needed in our locker room."

Bonner is a two-time champion while Howard has lifted the trophy thrice. The Fever didn't have much experience on last year's team. With Clark also in her rookie year, she took time to adjust as well.

However, she's a year older and with a greater understanding of the league and the game, the reigning Rookie of the Year is primed to have an incredible sophomore leap.
