Iowa Star Caitlin Clark Has Been Trending In The Last Month More Than The NBA King

Caitlin Clark, a guard from Iowa, broke Pete Maravich’s record of 3,667 points in her career to create collegiate basketball history. Another player who broke a record is now congratulating her.

Iowa Star Caitlin Clark Has Been Trending In The Last Month More Than The NBA King

Star player for the Los Angeles Lakers LeBron James congratulated Clark on reaching the milestone. On Saturday, James became the first player in NBA history to score 40,000 points.

This Saturday in the women’s NCAA Tournament Sweet 16, Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes take on Colorado. Her spotlight has grown too bright.

She will go down as the highest-scoring player in major college basketball history and the best women’s college athlete in sport history, regardless of whether she wins the title in her last year.

Against visiting Ohio State, with only a few seconds remaining in the second quarter, Clark broke Maravich’s record with a free throw.

Clark was previously brought up by James while talking about his own point total.

“A lot of you guys have asked, ‘What does it feel like to be in a zone?’ Once a guy is a zone, there’s nothing you can do,” James said days after Clark set the all-time women’s basketball NCAA scoring record in February, per Zach Harper and Law Murray of The Athletic.

“Once a guy decides he wants to stay in a zone– or you’re seeing Caitlin the other night, when she broke the record– there’s nothing you can do.”

I genuinely believed that Clark could not be attracting more attention online than the four-time NBA champion and standout player for the Lakers. I made a big mistake.

The interest graph for Clark (blue) and LeBron (red) below dates back to late February of last year. Those looking for news about her online are 16% more interested than those about LeBron James.

What it actually implies is that compared to LeBron, the Iowa phenomenon has generated a lot more interest in news online during the last 30 days.

When you get right down to it, it’s not as shocking as you may imagine. Pete Maravich’s all-time scoring record during this time period was surpassed by her just before the end of February, and Iowa won the B1G women’s tournament and she’s making an NCAA Tournament run.

What is the most points Caitlin Clark has scored in a game?

Clark’s scoring prowess wowed crowds throughout the regular season, but none more so than on February 15, 2023, when she faced Michigan. She scored an incredible 49 points in a spectacular show that proved she could dominate on any court.

Is Caitlin Clark a senior at Iowa?

As a senior at Iowa, Clark is finishing off her last season of school before declaring for the WNBA draft, in which she will most likely be selected first overall.

How many 3 pointers has Caitlin Clark made in her career?

Clark also broke the NCAA’s record for three-pointers made in a single season (162) and became the first Big Ten women’s basketball player to record over 500 three-pointers in a career (509).
