Caitlin Clark Joins Michael Jordan and Stephen Curry on Historic Rookie List.

Caitlin Clark continued her astonishing rookie campaign with a win over the Phoenix Mercury on Friday night.

In the Indiana Fever’s 98-89 win, Clark dropped 29 points — coming just one point shy of her WNBA career high. She also chipped in with 10 assists, recording yet another points-assists double-double in her debut professional season.

Clark continues to shatter all-time WNBA records at every turn. And on Friday night, she joined some elite NBA company as well.

Clark is now one of three players in WNBA/NBA history to record at least 29 points, 10 assists and five rebounds on multiple occasions during their rookie campaign – joining NBA legends Michael Jordan and Stephen Curry.

Jordan accomplished that feat twice. Curry did it four times.

Clark has two with a significant portion of the 2024 WNBA season left to play.

Clark, the clear frontrunner for WNBA Rookie of the Year, leads the league with 8.3 assists per game. She needs just three more assists to break Ticha Penicheiro’s all-time rookie assist record (225)./ Clark and the Fever will face off against the Seattle Storm in a highly-anticipated matchup on Sunday afternoon.

MUST WATCH! Team USA Crazy Celebrations at Hotel after winning Gold beating France in finals (Curry, KD, Lebron).

Stephen Curry sizzles again, but LeBron James gets awarded for entire Olympics run.

The man nicknamed LeCaptain America is poetically awarded tournament MVP honors after Team USA’s 98-87 goal medal victory against France on Saturday. LeBron James wanted one last great Olympics moment before retiring, and he empathically gets it.

The four-time NBA finals MVP recorded 14 points on efficient 6-of-10 shooting, 10 assists and six rebounds in the final. His impact has been felt during these last two weeks and commands fair recognition. However, there are plenty of fans who will argue someone else deserves the award after his legendary showing over the last two games.

“The WORLD knows and has just witnessed Stephen Curry DOMINATED,” one person posted on X, formerly Twitter. “Talk of the town. Real MVP. Only goat. Alien. The first Olympics took home the GOLD, even contributed hugely in winning that. Best Olympian ever to do it. Captain America.

Curry scored a team-high 24 points on 8-of-14 shooting (all buckets were 3-pointers) and plunged dagger after dagger into a resilient and talented French squad that earnestly tried to stay alive. But eventually, it was “night night” for Les Bleus, as the best shooter in NBA history dropped nine points during the final three minutes of regulation.

This clutch fourth quarter comes two days after he posted an all-time great Olympics performance (36 points, nine 3-pointers and eight rebounds) in the semifinals versus the highly challenging Serbians. He was undoubtedly Team USA’s most valuable player in the final stages of this tournament.

No one was more consistently reliable than James, though.

Team USA leaned on LeBron James for much of Olympics/ This award is voted based on what transpired throughout the entirety of Olympics play. Yes, the medal round should carry more weight, but it is not like the 39-year-old vanished in those spots. He was instrumental to Team USA clawing its way back versus Serbia and posted a double-double against host country France.

Although James eclipsed 20 points only once during the Paris Games, he consistently posted well-rounded outings and stepped up when his teammates needed him. DAMOLA perfectly sums up the all-time scoring king’s 2024 Olympics run. “Well deserved, significant in all 5 games!”

LeBron James is not solely a feel-good story or the face of this star-stuffed squad. He was its anchor. And now he has the hardware to prove it.
