Caitlin Clark is just entering her third season in the WNBA, but is already measuring herself against the all-time greats.
The Indiana Fever guard took the basketball world by storm in a record-breaking rookie campaign. She earned Rookie of the Year honors and an All-Star selection in 2024.
Injuries slowed her down in 2025, though. The 24-year-old still averaged 16.5 points and 8.8 assists in just 13 games.
She made her long-awaited comeback in March, returning with a bang at the FIBA Women's World Cup Qualifying Tournament. Clark led Team USA to a perfect 5-0 record and bagged tournament MVP honors.
Clark added another feather to her cap when she was honored during the McDonald's All-American Game.
The McDonald's All-American Game is one of the most prestigious high school basketball showcases in the country. It is held annually for the nation's top boys and girls prospects. The event celebrated its 25th anniversary this year.
ESPN's Brooke Weisbrod unveiled the McDonald's All-American Game 25th Anniversary Starting 5, naming Clark as part of the all-time greats.
A Clark fan account shared the news on X with the caption:
"This 25 year anniversary McDonalds All American starting five is I see you CC!"
The company Clark keeps makes the honor even more remarkable. Joining her on the list are four of the greatest players in women's basketball history.
Retired four-time WNBA champion Maya Moore, the 2013 Finals MVP, represents the 2007 McDonald's class.
Retired two-time WNBA MVP and champion Elena Delle Donne (2008 class) also earned a spot on the list.
Three-time WNBA champion Candace Parker, part of the 2004 McDonald's class, rounds out the legends.
Las Vegas Aces superstar A'ja Wilson, the WNBA's first-ever four-time MVP and a three-time champion, represents the 2014 class.
Clark is changing the game. Being mentioned alongside these names says everything about where her legacy is headed.
