โ€œYou know all the little kiddos are going to come out, both boys and gals, and they are going to be screaming her name and wearing her jersey and she wonโ€™t disappoint,โ€ Lieberman said.

Clark is also making financial headlines. Reportedly she's close to closing an eight-figure shoe endorsement deal. 

โ€œThatโ€™s always great to hear,โ€ UTA sophomore Eva Feagain said. โ€œI love all pay raises for women.

The attention Clark brings to women's basketball, Lieberman said, benefits all the players and paves the way for future generations to achieve even more.

โ€œCaitlin Clark you are a pioneer because there is a 3-year-old who is going to end up playing in the W when they are 22, 23 years old, and theyโ€™ll be making $5 to $6 million a year,โ€ Lieberman said.
