Luka Doncic Makes His Opinion of Caitlin Clark Extremely Clear

Luka Doncic and Caitlin Clark are two of the brightest young stars in the game of basketball.After joining the NBA ranks as a superstar Slovenian teenager in the 2018 draft, Doncic was named the league's 2018-19 Rookie of the Year. Since then, he's notched five All-Star selections and five All-NBA First Team honors.

Clark appears to be on a similar path. After joining the Indiana Fever as the WNBA's No. 1 overall pick in 2024, the former Iowa basketball sharpshooter was named the league's near-unanimous Rookie of the Year.



Like Doncic, Clark wasted no time asserting her dominance at the highest level.During a recent interview, Doncic identified Clark as his favorite women's basketball player.Doncic was then prompted to talk about Paige Bueckers, who was just drafted by the Dallas Wings with the No.

1 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA draft."She's okay. Haven't seen her play in the WNBA, so," Doncic added.
