“It feels like a different season, honestly. For myself, I feel like I was a completely different player then,” agrees Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark who slowly yet steadily saw records in her name. But the real dominance came after the Olympic break. One after another, she seems unstoppable in terms of taking over legacies started by others. Even in today’s game versus the Sparks, she did not hold back.

On September 4th, Caitlin Clark entered the hardwood to lock horns with an opponent team that stood on equal footing. For the 22-year-old Iowa native, the match may have been even more of an excitement with the presence of her long-time boyfriend, Conor McCaffery in the audience. Adrenaline rush or not, Clark ended up breaking yet another record set by Rhyne Howard. This time, she became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 100 three-pointers.

The record she snatched from Howard was achieved in just 34 games. Howard, on the other hand, set the legacy by doing it in nearly 40 games. Well, this isn’t the first time the Indiana Fever rookie has taken over an Atlanta Dream guard’s name.

Before this, she broke Howard’s three-point rookie record, the trait she’s created a buzz around.

It all happened during the August 29th game versus the Connecticut Sun. While enduring tough physical gameplay from the opponent team, Clark ended up recording her 88th three-pointer. By doing so, she surpassed the 85 three-pointers record set by Howard during her 2022 campaign. For this record, too, Clark was faster than the Dream standout. She claimed the same record in 31 games, whereas it took Rhyne Howard 34 career games. But this isn’t the real thrill in today’s game.

A win-win situation for Caitlin Clark
