Caitlin Clark Leaves WNBA Out of Top Spot as She Ranks Her Top 6 Career Moments

Caitlin Clark's short career has already amassed enough historic milestones to make ranking her accomplishments difficult. However, when Clark was asked to rank her most iconic moments, she answered without hesitation, placing the top spot.

During a recent promotional video with State Farm, Clark was asked to blindly rank six moments from her career as the interviewer listed them off. The first moment she was asked about was her breaking the NCAA scoring record, and she was clear about where it landed.

"I can't start with number one, can I?" she joked in the clip, which was posted to X . "I think I'm gonna put it at number one."

The moment came on February 15, 2024, when Clark surpassed Kelsey Plum's NCAA record for most career points in women's basketball against Michigan. The game itself was outstanding, with Clark scoring 49 points, including a signature deep three-pointer to break the record, something which became one of the defining images of her career with the Iowa Hawkeyes.

For Clark, that achievement ranked above any of the other moments she was asked about, all of which were after she entered the WNBA.

Her second choice was winning the Rookie of the Year award back in 2024. After being selected #1 overall by the Indiana Fever, she started an amazing rookie year, finishing with averages of 19.2 points and a league-leading 8.4 assists, setting the rookie single-season record for both categories: 769 points and 337 assists.

The third moment was Clark's first WNBA triple-double, which came on July 6, 2024. Against the New York Liberty, she finished the game with 19 points, 12 boards, and 13 dimes, becoming the first rookie and the youngest player ever to record a triple-double, doing so at the age of 22.

The previous youngest player to do so was Sabrina Ionescu, who recorded hers at age 23. The two played against each other during the game, matching up directly, but Ionescu outscored her, logging 22 points on 9-23 shooting, but it wasn't enough, as the Fever took the 83-78 win.

"This was a fun game," Clark said during the video as she reminisced.

Her fourth choice was her first All-Star appearance. As a refresher, the 2024 All-Star Game featured a group of All-Stars facing Team USA ahead of the Paris Olympics. It was praised for being one of the most competitive games in recent memory, with Team WNBA eventually taking a 117-109 win. Clark finished that game with four points and 10 assists.

At fifth place, Clark dropped the time she reached 1,000 points in her WNBA career. This time, she had an explanation behind her thought process.

"I didn't even know that when it happened," she claimed.

Clark reached that milestone in her third season, during the season opener against the Dallas Wings on May 9. She became the sixth-fastest player to reach the milestone, doing so in 54 games. She was also the fastest player to record 1,000 points and 500 assists, which she accomplished later that season.

In last place, Clark put her WNBA debut, which she thought "didn't go too hot."

She's not wrong. Clark started her career with a loss to the Connecticut Sun on May 14, 2024, and despite scoring 20 points, it was not a pretty sight. Clark shot 5-15 from the field and 4-11 from three, and finished with 10 turnovers, the most in a debut in league history.

"Honestly, that ended up in a good spot, so I'm not mad at it," she said after the list concluded. "That's a really good list. Honestly, probably where I would have put all of them."

Though her professional career is already filled with highlights, Clark is only getting started, and with many years ahead of her, the list could look very different by the time her career ends.
