The Hyball is a weekly basketball column.
These words are not minced -- they're Mount Rushmore.
Caitlin Clark is STILL THE GREATEST IOWA ATHLETE EVER. Each caps, a different president, spanning centuries.
Back at the non-Rivals version of GIA, I wrote a column with a similar title minus the world still. Because, even earlier in her career, I'd seen enough. She had nothing left to prove a long time ago. One of only bummer parts about the move to this space is the archive is a little tricker to pull up. Were it not, that would be the old link I most regularly sent out on a weekly basis to the new fans she's making with every individual dribble of a basketball; like deer tracks scattered through fresh fallen snow.
Her name, her number, her story, her swagger, her narrative, her transcendence. Between Megan Gustafson, Luka Garza, Keegan and Kris Murray, and Monika Czinano, we've watched more than a few stellar hoopers pass through Iowa City this last decade, but you and I both know she is different. She bends it. She breaks it. She picks up a Gatorade endorsement. She's been compared to Steph Curry for her shooting, and I once compared her to LeBron James, as it pertained to fully delivering on all of her hype. But maybe we add Jay-Z to that. Why couldn't she be a mogul?
