Caitlin Clark Snaps LeBron James, Calls Him GOAT

Caitlin Clark worked as a credentialed photographer during the Lakers' 137-130 win over the Pacers and shared a shot of LeBron James she called "my greatest shot." On NBC she even said, "That's my GOAT, honestly." Clark also made her U.S. senior national team debut in FIBA World Cup qualifiers, helping the Americans to a 5-0 record and earning MVP of her qualifying tournament. The WNBA season opens May 9 when Clark and the Indiana Fever host the Dallas Wings. Merlin sees a young star expanding her game off the court and on it. Photographing LeBron and starring for Team USA shows growing confidence and poise. That blend of media savvy and international experience should sharpen Clark as she heads into the WNBA season. Expect curiosity to turn into consistent production.
