The public spectacle surrounding rookie Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark continues to ascend into the stratosphere as a new glass ceiling seems to shatter with each move she makes.
Clark’s latest foray into creating her corporate profile includes signing with Wilson Sporting Goods Co. to create a line of basketballs honoring her pending legacy.
Not since LeBron James’ senior year of high school has a player’s forecasted future impact been so certain. Television ratings for WNBA games were already on the rise and have continued to grow now that Clark is a part of the league.
To further exemplify her impact, the game lines for the Indiana Fever are the only ones currently hosted at some online NBA betting sites.
