Caitlin Clark is no stranger to highlight plays. The Indiana Fever star routinely draws ooohs and aaaahs from every crowd she plays in front of, home or away. However, it was a standout play in the win over the Atlanta Dream that particularly had fans in a frenzy. With one's facial reaction going viral.

The footage of Clark hitting the sick move was widely shared and the involuntary response from someone in the front row was pointed out on X and later acknowledged by the artist himself.

Well, that person happened to be famous Christian rapper and recording artist Lecrae. The multiple time Grammy winner had the first Christian hip-hop album to reach number one on the Billboard Gospel chart and has since become an author, activist, and entrepreneur.

Lecrae's face said it all about the move from Clark, as he was one of 17,608 fans in attendance, the largest crowd in Dream franchise history. The contest was moved to State Farm Arena in order to accomodate demand.

Lecrae and others got to see a great game with many standout moments. Fortunately Clark recovered from an early injury scare and was able to get back out on the floor. She finished the contest with 19 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists. It was her 21st game this season with at least 15 points and 5 assists, a WNBA record.

Of course it also came complete with some of the signature style that has made her such a basketball sensation.

If one wanted to know why Clark has drummed up so much excitement, they would only need to watch the above play. And they might just make the same facial expression Lecrae did.
