WNBA rookie sensation Caitlin Clark added a strong layer to her argument for Rookie of The Year against her rival, Chicago Sky's Angel Reese, on Friday.
Clark broke multiple WNBA records in the Indiana Fever's 100-81 win over the Sky, in a game where Clark boasted a new pair of Nike Kobe 6 Protro PE shoes, flaunting Kobe Bryant merchandise in front of Reese.
Reese has said Kobe Bryant was one of her favorite players, and she even partnered her own foundation with the former NBA star's foundation to promote a clothing line last year.
Clark didn't relent on the basketball court either, putting up a career-best 31 points and 12 assists in the win, breaking a handful of WNBA records along the way.
It was the first 30-point, 12-assist game in WNBA history. She is now just the fifth player in NBA history, and first rookie, to record at least 30 points and 10 assists in a game.
On top of that, Clark now has 11 double-doubles, which ties the WNBA record for most double-doubles by a guard in a single season.
She also broke the single-season record for most games with at least 20 points and 10 assists in a game in WNBA history.
It doesn't stop there.
