On Sunday afternoon, Iowa Hawkeyes superstar Caitlin Clark officially ended her college basketball career with a loss to the South Carolina Gamecocks in the NCAA Women’s Basketball title game. And even though she was not able to finish her career with a championship, she has still earned the respect of one of women’s basketball’s legends.
On Sunday evening, WNBA legend Sue Bird took to social media to praise Caitlin Clark for her phenomenal career, and wish her luck as she prepares to begin her upcoming WNBA career.
“What a season @IowaWBB and what a career @CaitlinClark22. We undoubtedly watched one of the all time best college careers….ring or not. Thank you for helping elevate our sport with your play, your poise, and of course your logo 3’s! I can’t wait to watch you at the next level!” Bird said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.

Clark will now head to the professional ranks where she is widely expected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming 2024 WNBA Draft by the Indiana Fever.
We’ll have to see whether or not she is every bit as dominant at the next level.
