Caitlin Clark has become one of the most popular basketball players in the world over the last year.

The Iowa legend is coming off an excellent season for the Indiana Fever where she won the 2024 WNBA Rookie of The Year Award.

On Friday, the San Antonio Spurs released a video of Victor Wembanyama talking about Clark.

Reporter: "Victor, who's a WNBA player that inspires you and what makes her stand out to you?"

Wembanyama: "I think Caitlin Clark. When she was in college, the only college player that I was really in awe of the game. Men and women's college basketball, she's probably the most impressive."
