“She was my person.” Caitlin Clark did not hide her inner fangirl when her entire pregame presser was about her adoration for Maya Moore. Adding to her high moments was the fact that the Minnesota Lynx family retiring the legend’s jersey tonight. Being a fan of the legend since her childhood, the guard has often spoken about her connection to the Lynx GOAT. While many already believe that the rookie will also reach great heights, she herself pointed out one flaw that will keep her behind Moore.
It is safe to say that more than anyone, Cailtin Clark would definitely have been more excited to have Maya Moore in the building as the Fever went against Minnesota. To press more on the fact, she came out wearing Moore’s t-shirt during warmups. And even in the pregame presser, she could not help but let her excitement take the front seat.
One of the reporters asked her what drew her to Moore’s game. To this, the Iowa sensation replied, “I think honestly obviously her offensive side like that’s pretty simple. But also like she was a very good defender. She just had a very complete game.”
Adding what she does not connect her with, she laughed and said, “Obviously I don’t think the defensive mindset from Maya, I don’t really have that.” Although she has a long way to go when it comes to defense, Clark certainly understands where she lacks. Still, she did help the team get a good run. This was after many of the shots did not fall for Indiana.
“what about [maya moore]’s game specifically drew you so much to her?”
caitlin: “…she just had a very complete game… obviously i don’t think the defensive mindset from maya, i don’t really have that.”
