Both LeBron James and Caitlin Clark entered their leagues with immense expectations, each making waves early in their careers. While Clark’s journey is just beginning, her historic rookie season mirrors James’ 2003 debut, when he averaged 20.9 points, 5.9 assists, and 5.5 rebounds, earning Rookie of the Year honors. Clark, the frontrunner for that same accolade in the WNBA, has only solidified her case since the Olympic break. Since the WNBA resumed play, she has posted averages of 24.5 points, 9.1 assists, and 5.6 rebounds, shooting 47.8% from the field and 38.8% from three. More importantly, Indiana has gone 7-1 in that span, securing the sixth seed.
