Caitlin Clark Wins Over Kobe Bryant’s Wife Vanessa’s Heart With Her Heartwarming
Response to Personal Question.

This rise of Caitlin Clark has been the biggest story to come out from March Madness. The Iowa State guard might have lost the NCAA finals, but her run was historic.

She dominated every single opponent, single-handedly dragging her side to the finals of March Madness. Several of basketball’s biggest names hailed the star for her emphatic tournament.

Her incredible skill and competitive spirit won hearts. Clark probably left behind a legacy no one will come close to.

However, for her, legacy is a concept that doesn’t concern the records. The response caught the attention of the wife of Kobe Bryant, Vanessa Bryant.

The businesswoman struck sense with Clark’s ideology. The 40-year-old even put out a special story for the Iowa State Junior for her mature response.

Vanessa Bryant shows love to Caitlin Clark for ‘Legacy’ response

To measure Clark’s legacy on the basketball court isn’t hard. Just this season alone she won AP Player of The Year honors.

For Iowa State, she put up blazing numbers averaging 27.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 8.6 assists per game. Highlighting her historic season was the fact that she scored over 1000 points for Iowa.

Clark also cemented herself as the All-Time leader for a single season in NCAA history with 191 points.

But for the 21-year-old, she wants her basketball accolades to act as an inspiration to the young kids. In tears during the post-game conference, the Iowa State star spoke from her heart.

She said, “I want my legacy to be an impact that I can have on young kids and the people in the state of Iowa. And I hope I brought them a lot of joy this season, I hope this team brought them a lot of joy.” Clark continued, “I was just that young girl, so all you can do is dream and you can do is dream and be in moments like these.” 

Vanessa Bryant felt the emotions Clark sent through her answers.

It was resemblant to Kobe Bryant, who not only inspired people to dream but go after their vision with all might.

Having young daughters herself, Bryant might have sensed the impact Caitlin Clark is capable of having. In awe of the response, she dedicated an Instagram story to the NCAA runner-up attached with a heart.

At this point in Clark’s career, she has arguably conquered the stage of college basketball. Now the fans might have one question, when will we see the 21-year-old in the WNBA? Well, it won’t be next year.

When can Clark be in the WNBA?

Caitlin Clark’s dazzling display during March Madness proved she is ready to be on the biggest of stages. The biggest target has to be the WNBA.

Clark’s skillset is unique and capable of making her one of the stars of the league. Not only does she have a polished offense, but her IQ makes her a threat even as a floor general.

Unfortunately, fans will have to wait at least one more year to see her play in the WNBA. According to the league’s guidelines, a player has to be the age of 22 to be eligible for the draft.

Clark is still a true junior and will play have to play another season for Iowa State.

However, there is a chance she may decide to stay with her collegiate side even after the completion of the conventional four years.

Colleges offered NCAA athletes an additional year due to the effects of the pandemic. While on the Dan Patrick Show, Caitlin Clark said she is yet to decide whether she wants to stay or declare for the league after her fourth year.

Watching how she became the most lethal weapon this season, there is little doubt that she can’t perform at the highest level. But when will the fans get their answers is still undetermined.
