It’s near-impossible to catch a game of this year’s NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament without seeing Caitlin Clark. Everything begins and ends with her.
Iowa punched its ticket to the Final Four on Monday, extending all-star shooter Caitlin Clark’s college basketball career at least one more game while she got revenge on the LSU Tigers and stopped their defense of the title that they won last year over them.
In the midst of her celebrity status is everybody wanting to come out and see her play as well as talk about her in some capacity.
On social media, fans were going crazy after an apparent post from former NBA all-star Dwight Howard who brought up Caitlin Clark.
The tweet on X, which stated it was deleted by Dwight Howard, said, “Caitlin Clark I will drink your bath water…random.”
Fans quickly jumped into the comments and quotes to respond to the sexual tweet:
In reality, that post is entirely fake and is in reference to a tweet that Kevin Durant wrote about actress Scarlett Johansson way back in 2011. The actual tweet is still up to this day.
Unfortunately for Dwight Howard, a tweet like this towards Clark is easy to believe since he has a lawsuit against him from a man alleging sexual assault and battery.
Stephen Harper in July 2023 alleged Howard sexually assaulted him in 2021, but Howard and his attorneys have argued that the encounter was consensual.

Caitlin will enter the Final Four as the NCAA Division I all-time scoring leader across men’s and women’s basketball. Her career points total surpassed a 54-year mark set by former LSU star “Pistol” Pete Maravich, who finished with 3,667 points, via ESPN.com.
She has records, but what Clark really wants is a National Championship.
Her next obstacle comes against UConn.
Victor Wembanyama Opens Up On His Wholesome Conversation With Kevin Durant After Team USA’s Gold Medal Win

Victor Wembanyama’s France team faced a tough challenge in the Paris Olympics final by falling short against Team USA with a close 98-87 loss. The defeat was a hard pill to swallow, especially for Wembanyama. He was visibly emotional after the game and shed tears over missing out on a gold medal.
Despite the heartbreak, Wembanyama found a silver lining in the experience. The young star had the opportunity to interact with their childhood idol, Kevin Durant. During a recent appearance on a French television station with Gabby Williams, Wembanyama shared the conversation he had with Durant after the game.
“He became my favorite childhood player. I made it clear that I wanted to learn from him [and] perhaps only steal 1 or 2 of his secret techniques,” Wembanyama said.
The San Antonio Spurs star’s performance was a bright spot for France, especially in the gold medal game. He scored 26 points on 11-of-19 shooting in just 30 minutes of play.
