Caitlin Clark has done it again – back to breaking records and grabbing the attention of the world, reminding of what they have been missing. So much so that Stephen A. Smith and Shannon Sharpe, both have yet again given their flowers to Clark for her yet another historic achievement.
The Guard for Iowa Hawkeyes broke the record for the all-time leading scorer in the NCAA league in her team’s 93-83 win over Ohio State, putting her at the very top of the list. Grabbing the attention of the basketball world, the duo of Stephen A. Smith and Shannon Sharpe have given their voice to the huge success – with Sharpe adding praises like, she is now ‘box office.’
Sharpe, praising the 22-year-old sensation, said,
She’s box office. She’s the most impactful. As we sit here right now, I can name five women quicker than I can name five men in college basketball. That’s what she’s done.
“She’s the most complete offensive player in the college game has ever seen. … I can name five women quicker than I can name five men in college basketball. That’s what she’s done.”

Clark’s record-breaking moment not just marked a significant moment for women’s basketball but also a reminder of what she has done for basketball as a whole. From competing against Stephen Curry in a competitive 3-point contest to now carrying the NCAA on her back, the world has nothing but praise for her and her work.
Caitlin Clark becomes the All-Time leading scorer of the NCAA
It seems Caitlin Clark isn’t done with shocking the world with what she can do on the court; last night was yet another example. In the recent 93-83 win over Ohio State, Clark became the all-time leading scorer of the NCAA overtaking and taking over the throne of Pete Maravich.

Clark had scored 35 points and has been nothing short of spectacular for not just women’s basketball, but an inspiration to many in the world of basketball.
And what a year it has been, from breaking record after record to making history, there is no doubt she will leave the NCAA as an icon and quite a talent for any WNBA team that acquires her. Her name is on the rise and is going to only get bigger as she further advances in her career.
