catiln clark was ask to……..

It was an incredible and incredibly ballsy shot — a dramatic 40-footer from the logo — that cemented Iowa star Caitlin Clark’s place in history two weeks ago.

Sealed with a swish, the sharpshooter, often compared to Steph Curry, broke the all-time women’s scoring record formerly held by Kelsey Plum. And she is now on the precipice of setting the all-time scoring record, for both men and women, held by the late Pistol Pete Maravich.

Broadcaster Jay Williams didn’t think so. He said Clark wasn’t “great” yet because she hadn’t won a championship.

Then he doubled down, moving the goalposts to the “g” word’s superlative

“We were talking about greatest. I hear people talking about GOATs, right? For me, I’m kinda like, ‘OK, you wanna be a GOAT.’ Fine. There’s levels of greatness. You gotta win championships to be GOATs,” Williams said.

Great? Sorry, Mr. Williams. Clark is just too busy being transcendent.

The fact that the 22-year-old is even fodder for these arguments proves that she’s already climbed higher than Williams’s arbitrary perch, ring or no ring.

Never have I seen a female player cross over into petty mainstream debates that have been, until now, reserved exclusively for dude ballers.

But show me a bigger name right now in college hoops — male or female. You can blame the one-and-done for the dilution of must-watch talent on the men’s side, but you cannot deny Clark’s singular power.
