Caitlin Clark is the most popular women’s basketball player in the world without a doubt. The Indiana Fever superstar has made a name for herself after breaking multiple records both in college and then doing the same in the WNBA. Along with that, she also brings a sense of humility about her, which seems to resonate with fans.

That makes her a player her fans can relate to. She makes sure she takes out enough time from her schedule to mingle with fans and sign autographs, or take pictures. This stardom, though, might have made it difficult for her to have a normal life, as her rival Angel Reese revealed.

Wherever she goes, fans follow, as was evident from the golf tournaments she participated in this past offseason. All of this stardom has helped her garner a lot of endorsement deals. Those deals have helped her make up for not having a decent salary in the WNBA.

Last calendar year, she earned a staggering $11 million off those endorsements. Now she wants to use those endorsements to help those who cannot afford the basic necessities of life. As per the Des Moines Register, the Caitlin Clark Foundation, in association with Hy-Vee, started a round-up campaign in March.

On May 6th, Clark’s foundation donated $300,802.85 to the nonprofit organization Feeding America. All the proceeds came from her very own Hy-Vee cereal, which along with the round-up campaign has helped donate to 18 Feeding America food banks. This happens to be her latest effort to help children in the Midwest after she donated 22000 books in the offseason.

Fashion question at Fever media day embarrassed Caitlin Clark

During the offseason, Caitlin Clark appeared at several events. In those events, she looked chic and well-kitted out. Knowing that she has leaned on her sponsor, Prada, for her outfits, a reporter asked the star guard after practice what she has learned by working with the fashion brand.

I didn’t know we were answering fashion questions today, I was not ready for all this. Well, Prada has become my favorite brand, everybody knows that. Honestly, I just kind of wear whatever my stylist tells me to, it makes it easy to show up for games.

Caitlin Clark replied

When she first responded to this question, she looked embarrassed and was lost for words. She did not expect a fashion question after practice. Her head coach and most experienced teammate were trying to make light of the situation, but she gathered herself and answered the question.

Clark is just entering her sophomore year as a pro, and the last thing that might be on her mind is thinking about fashion choices. That is why she said that she wears whatever her stylist picks out for her, so that she can concentrate on the game completely.

Caitlin Clark might sport an appearance change

Clark might be shy about fashion choices. Her focus is on winning basketball games first, then dealing with the rest, but at the Fever media day yesterday, Lexie Hull was asked who among the team would turn up with something different, but not look out of place.

I think Caitlin. She showed up with something on her arm the other day, and somehow it turned out OK. It was just a shooting sleeve, but for her, that was pretty wild.

Lexie Hull said

Hearing this left the reporter seemingly gasping for breath. She was shocked to hear that Caitlin Clark was possibly going to debut a shooting sleeve this season. Caitlin Clark has played wearing an undershirt at times at Iowa.

But since her junior year, she has preferred to just wear her jersey, shorts, shoes, and socks. If Hull is to be believed, Clark might end up breaking the internet with that shooting sleeve. Her stardom might see Fever shooting sleeves sell out in a few minutes.
