Doc Rivers Makes Strong Caitlin Clark Statement on Wednesday

Caitlin Clark has essentially taken over the WNBA landscape since entering the league last year. 

Clark was already a star before she hit a WNBA court, but in her second season with the Indiana Fever, it's clear that the young guard has taken the game to another level. 

Amid her second season in the league, NBA coach Doc Rivers discussed Clark's stardom, mentioning that he believes the Fever guard may be the biggest superstar in basketball. 

"It’s not a long list—[the Fever] run the floor and make cuts because they know they’re gonna get the ball," Rivers said. "That’s what a superstar does for her team—[Caitlin Clark] is an absolute superstar. She may be the biggest superstar in basketball right now." 

Rivers is making this comment as the head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, coaching an NBA MVP candidate, Giannis Antetokounmpo. 

Before his time with the Bucks, Rivers also spent time with the Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers, Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic. He has earned one NBA title and has been named Coach of the Year once in his career.
