Her skills on the court have earned her numerous accolades and comparisons to some of the greatest players in the game.

Recently, NBA veteran Kevin Garnett heaped praise on Clark in an episode of his podcast ‘KG Certified.’ Garnett drew comparisons between the young player and Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry, widely regarded as the greatest shooter ever.

“What brought us here with the women’s game, man, is the player Caitlin Clark is the f**ing truth bro…. When I am watching her I feel like I am re-watching Stephen 14. Remember Stephen Curry in 14-15, I think he hit the button, and he started doing and he started looking like her and he started looking like a video game…Her style is like no other,”  Kevin Garnett said.
