Monday night was a huge night for college hoops legend Caitlyn Clark. After wrapping up her legendary college career, she entered the professional ranks by going #1 in the WNBA draft, taken by the Indiana Fever. But that was only part of the big night for the athlete.
During the draft, the athletes were greeted by a special video presentation. Clark's was from country superstar Luke Combs, who said, "Hey, Luke Combs here, I just wanna say congratulations on being the #1 pick in the WNBA draft. Thatâs incredible. I know I can speak for everybody all across the United States that weâve enjoyed watching you these past couple years and we canât wait to continue to do so. So congratulations, you earned it. Canât wait to see you out there."
Clark was clearly taken aback, saying "Luke Combs, thatâs my favorite artist of all time, thatâs pretty cool. Heâs a big womenâs basketball fan so I appreciate that. Thatâs amazing, I was not expecting that."Â
