Rookie sensation Caitlin Clark left Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson in awe on Friday, as she hit a clutch 3-pointer against the Los Angeles Sparks. Thompson, renowned for his own big shots, was present for the Fever’s victory and was blown away by Clark’s impressive display.
Thompson’s reaction to Clark’s 3-pointer, with his arms raised in disbelief, mirrored the reactions he has had to Steph Curry’s incredible shots over the years. Both Thompson and Curry are known for their ability to hit clutch shots, with Thompson having won four NBA championships alongside Curry.
While Clark is making a name for herself as a scoring machine in the WNBA, despite her team’s early-season struggles, Thompson is enjoying his offseason and is reportedly considering various NBA teams in free agency, including the Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic.
Although Thompson hails from Los Angeles and may have been rooting for the Sparks, he couldn’t help but be impressed by Clark’s talent and skill on the court. It seems that greatness recognizes greatness in this case as Thompson acknowledged Clark’s impressive performance with his familiar sideline reaction.
