Stephanie White, Fever’s coach, who was familiar with Clark’s talent after the impressive rookie season in 2024, could not hide his surprise. “I have never seen anyone doing it in a training session,” White said at the press conference shortly after, still shaking his head in astonishment. “Caitlin always makes us say, but this time it really goes far beyond all expectations.” Clark’s teammates, like Kelsey Mitchell and Nalyssa Smith, could not help her emotions. Mitchell shouted in the video: “Who is she!” While Smith could only stand still, his arms hugged his head as if he did not believe his eyes.
Fans on social networks immediately turn the video into a phenomenon, with the hashtag #Clarkkmagic reaching millions of times mentioning in just a few hours. “This is not basketball, this is magic!” A fan wrote, while others compare her to Stephen Curry at the peak. The 2024 season witnessed Clark breaking the record score of rookie WNBA and brought Fever back to the playoffs, but this ball seemed to be an affirmation that she still had many surprises to bring the 2025 season about to start in May.
