Entering LeBron James’ Territory in Just 13 Games, Caitlin Clark Banks Another Feat

It seems like Caitlin Clark has made up her mind to engrave her name in all the leaderboards that exist in the basketball world. She recently entered the 3000 points club and is within touching distance from becoming all-time NCAA leading scorer in the women’s division. Further, the Sporting News Athlete of the Year is currently also the No. 1 ranked player in the WCBB rankings.

But clearly, these accolades are not enough for her. This exceptional point guard from Iowa Hawkeyes has yet again broken another record in just 13 games this season.

Caitlin Clark matches LeBron James’ record

Caitlin Clark has once again come under the limelight. This time, she has matched a record held by none other than the King James himself in the 2004-05 season. Apparently, now these two are the only ones to hold this record in the last 25 years in the NBA, WNBA, or Division I men’s or women’s players. To be exact, this season Caitlin has a 40-point game, a 15-rebound game, a 7-steal game, a 7-three game, and a triple-double. What’s more exciting is that she was able to achieve all this in just 13 games in a single season.

In addition to King James’ record, Caitlin is also about to break the reigning WNBA champion– Kelsey Plum’s record for highest career points. While Caitlin still stands at 3,114 points which means she will need at least 413 points to tie with Kelsey. Now, looking at Iowa’s schedule for this season, they still have 17 games to play. Factually speaking, Caitlin just might be able to grab over 400 points to at least come closer to Kelsey’s record. However, there is no doubt that she will have to play each and every game to her fullest potential and more.

Nonetheless, we know what an incredible baller Caitlin is and her improving stats only prove that she has the potential to be one of the best basketball players in the women’s basketball division.

What do the stats say about Caitlin?

Presently, Caitlin is leading the women’s division with an average of 30.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 7.4 assists per game. Further, she has collected the titles of AP, Big Ten, and WBCA National Player of the Week this season. To add more feathers to her cap, she recently became the Big Ten Player of the Week for the 22nd time in her career on December 18, 2023.

These are just a few things that make Caitlin Clark one of the top players in Division-I of basketball, both men and women. Fans are hoping as much as Caitlin herself that she breaks Kelsey’s record before she moves on to WNBA stardom. Most importantly, she would also like to finish her college basketball journey by becoming a National Champion with Iowa.
