Iowa v Minnesota
Kevin Garnett speaks on how much Caitlin Clark would score in an NBA game

Caitlin Clark has taken women's basketball to new heights. She's broken numerous records this season en route to becoming the leading scorer in the NCAA.

On the The9450 Podcast Network, Kevin Garnett and his former Celtics teammate Paul Pierce talked about how women's college basketball has taken huge strides and is "on fire" due to Clark.

"This is the first time in college basketball where I know more girls than guys! I know the girls, I know Miss Reese, I know Caitlin," Garnett said.
"This is the first time we've got women's basketball ahead of men's basketball. She (Caitlin Clark) could go right through any hood and get a bucket. She gonna give you more than 10 points (in an NBA game). She can shoot and she got the work."

Steph Curry appreciates Caitlin Clark drawing inspiration from his game

While Clark has yet to prove herself on the biggest stage in basketball, her game style has been compared with Steph Curry. They both have seemingly unlimited range and the ability to nail 3-pointers at a prolific rate, among other similarities.

When asked about Clark's playing style, Curry described her as a special talent and said he was happy to have played a role in shaping her game.

“You can pick anybody that she talks about in terms of being an inspiration, if she picks something from our game, or models something from our game, I don’t ever take that for granted,” Curry said in February.
“Caitlin is special. Her story, journey, the record speaks for itself and it’s cool … it’s just dope from a scoring perspective, from a shooting perspective, just a hooper that’s doing what she’s doing."
