The Fever guard is breaking records in her debut season
Lapresse
The 3-point shot is an art, and the players who have shot it best rewrote basketball’s rules and defined an era in the sport. The emergence of sharpshooters Ray Allen and Reggie Miller in the 1990s introduced new strategy into the NBA; in the decades to come, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson would rewrite the record books and make the 3-pointer much more fashionable than the slam dunk.
But in the 27-year history of the WNBA, the league’s 12 teams have never encountered someone quite like Caitlin Clark. Sure, all-time points leader Diana Taurasi can shoot it reliably from distance, while Sabrina Ionescu and Kelsey Plum are also lethal from behind the arc. However, Clark is already separating herself as a different kind of shooter as her Indiana Fever close in on the playoffs.
Klay, Luka, Steph…and Caitlin
The Fever‘s official X/Twitter account came with the data to show that Clark is a unique sharpshooter even in a 3-point-heavy era in the NBA and the WNBA. The average distance on the rookie’s 3-point attempts is further back than Thompson last season for the Warriors, further back than Luka Doncic‘s average distance in his best season, and even further back than Curry in his best year.

This may not come as a complete surprise given that Clark’s game warranted comparisons to Curry over her decorated four-year career at the University of Iowa. But after some early hiccups in May and June, Clark’s college game has almost-totally translated to the pro ranks — and she has the Fever, at 16-16, close to their first winning season since 2015 (when Indiana last made the WNBA Finals).
After making history at Iowa and leading the Hawkeyes to the national championship game in 2023 and 2024, Clark appears more than capable of turning the WNBA’s existing power structure on its head as well. The NCAA‘s all-time scoring leader is averaging better than 18 points per game in her first season, and her 8.3 assists per game lead all WNBA players.

Brittany Mahomes has hit back at her critics after the wife of the Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback was slammed for being caught liking a post related to the campaign of Donald Trump.
Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes, posted a strong but intriguing message on her Instagram story amid the significant backlash she has received.
The 28-year-old mother of two, soon to be three, “liked” one of the posts from the Republican nominee as many called for Tayor Swift to stop being around her.
Brittany Mahomes shared a quote from Shane Pruitt on Instagram: “Contrary to the tone of the world today… You can disagree with someone and still love them. You can have differing views and still be kind.”
Brittany herself appeared to send a message to her critics on social media by adding her own personal caption of, “Read that again!”
