Elating Sue Bird With Her Story, Caitlin Clark Revels in Her Signature Move

Caitlin Clark is once in a lifetime talent. The Iowa Hawkeyes star has been a prominent force behind her team’s rise. Clark has a style of play that is difficult to contain when she gets going. And it is this fiery attitude that has made headlines for all reasons special. Recently, the 22-year-old was invited to the third episode of ‘Sue’s Places.’

Hosted by the WNBA legend Sue Bird, the episode took all Clark fans on a nostalgic trip as they witnessed the making of an NCAA superstar. Amid all the questions, one that caught the fancy of many was when the two discussed Clark’s signature move.

What did Clark say?

Bird took the opportunity when meeting Clark at the Carver-Hawkeye Arena to discuss the latter’s game. And a curious Bird questioned Clark about when she got her signature move- the deep threes. Clark honestly answered the question which elated Bird and gave all fans a glimpse into her journey to becoming a college basketball veteran.

“I would say I first became comfortable honestly when I got into college. I kind of came in as a little twig. The strength and conditioning program was a big help for me as I kind of got stronger, that kind of came with it a lot,” Clark remarked.

A curious Bird reconfirmed by asking “You never did this prior to college?” and Clark openly admitted to having her first brush with deep threes in college.

“No, not really. My high school gym was tiny like our high school court was small, so I had good range. I had my step back,” Clark stated.

Everyone knows that a major part of Clark’s game is three-pointers. She has been an unstoppable force in the NCAA with her go-to move. The Iowa-born currently occupies the top spot in the three-pointer list of active women’s college basketball players with 478 three-pointers. She has amassed such a massive following for her three-pointers that she is often compared to the NBA superstar Stephen Curry.

Even in this season, Clark has lived up to the expectations, basketing 131 three-pointers. She is a major contender for the National Player of the Year awards this season with her exceptional performance.

In an interview last year Clark had even said that one of the most loved parts of her game was logo threes and long threes. She had exclaimed, “if I had to pick one thing about my game – probably the logo threes and the long threes.” And this is not the only record that Clark holds.

What other record does Clark hold?

Clark is inching closer to breaking the former Washington Huskies guard Kelsey Plum’s record of leading points scorer in the NCAA. Clark currently has 3,520 points and needs only 8 points to eclipse Plum. The Hawkeyes will be playing their next game against the Michigan Wolverines and that is expected to be the game where Clark can surpass Plum.

Clark’s honesty must have motivated a lot of aspiring ballers since they now know that it’s never too late to hone a particular skill in the game. And with the Hawkeyes guard moving closer to registering her name in the record books, the fans would have loved to watch the new episode of Sue’s Places.
