As the 2025 Draft approaches, fans are reminiscing about Caitlin Clark’s standout rookie year with the Indiana Fever and her viral 2024 draft moment—when she picked Anne Hathaway to play her in a biopic. Now, all eyes turn to the Dallas Wings and their No. 1 pick.

One of the clips featuring Caitlin Clark unexpectedly went viral as the 2025 Draft day approached. During one of the media interactions, she was asked about the celebrity she saw playing her in a hypothetical yet ‘inevitable’ biopic.

Before taking a good moment of consideration, she named the Academy Award-winning actor Anne Hathaway. She is one of the most prominent celebrities in Hollywood and a perfect choice, much to Clark’s uncertainty. The post from the Indiana Fever’s official account on X was quick to gain traction. Her fans agreed with her too, considering the comment section lauded her for the appropriate choice.

The Iowa City star basketballer had an incredible rookie season with instant success for her team. She took the Fever to the playoffs and was a member of the All-Star team.

Alongside breaking multiple records, she was crowned the Rookie of the Year over her court rival and strong contender Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky. Next up, she will play her first game of the official 2025 season on May 17 against the Sky at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

While no one has developed a Clark-based documentary, after this, maybe the fans will finally see it. However, she has been a feature in a number of movies as of late. She was a constituent in Peyton Manning’s docuseries, titled “Full Court Press.” For a good amount of screen time, the viewers had a look at her final year as a college basketball player. Apart from that, she was mentioned a couple of times on other television shows, a mixed bag of positive and negative.

Caitlin Clark’s hot take on basketball movies of all time

Caitlin Clark chatted with the NFL legend Eli Manning on a diverse range a things, including basketball, her forte. During the conversation, she named her favorite basketball movies of all time. The WNBA star named “Like Mike,” “Space Jam,” and “Coach Carter”.

However, she was sure her memory ditched her at the time. Betwixt her top three, she played the game of “start, bench, cut” that sent her in a conundrum.

Clark started off strong when she cut the iconic movie Space Jam. She followed by a bench on Coach Carter and Like Mike coming off the top to start. The WNBA star thought it was a ‘hot take’ but that didn’t bother her, much like her critics.

However, her top pick, Like Mike, was the least grossing out of the three at $51 million. Meanwhile, her first cut, Michael Jordan‘s Space Jam, made the most money with little over $250 million.

Apart from that, she opened up about herself in several other questions. She also called Peyton Manning her favorite NFL athlete.
