Caitlin Clark is following the recognizable footsteps of many basketball stars before her: legendarily talented, poised enough to rise quickly, and turned against in an instant.
Caitlin Clark has been asked every question, but a few weeks into her pro career, she finally got the one she wanted.
Standing for her quiet home state, her small market Indiana Fever, and the growth of her overlooked sport, Clark’s every move is being analyzed. On the court we may compare her to Steph Curry or Trae Young, but LeBron James may be the only hooper who knows what she’s going through. In 2003, he joined a Cavaliers team near his hometown that was poorly managed and not very good. He could not fully move in silence no matter what he did.
While praising her poise, James nevertheless encouraged Clark to “keep your mouth shut” for fear of retribution. Enjoy the moment, hone your craft, but pipe down. It’s how James avoided the ire of fans and media, and it’s a recipe that cooks perfectly over the years of a star career. Williamson missed most of the following season before a love triangle and threats from an ex kept him in the headlines last offseason just as his playing career hit a nadir.
