Caitlin Clark put on another dazzling display against the Dallas Wings on Sunday, September 1, leading the Indiana Fever to a 100-93 victory with a stunning 28-point, 12-assist double-double. This win marked the Fever’s fourth straight, and Clark was once again at the heart of the action, nailing five three-pointers for the second consecutive game.
One shot, in particular, stood out—a difficult fadeaway three-pointer over two Wings defenders that showcased her exceptional shooting ability. This impressive shot quickly went viral on X (formerly Twitter), where a slow-motion clip of the play garnered nearly 120,000 views within just 10 hours of being posted.

I wish she understood that her release is just as fast as Steph’s and that she can get her shot off with little to no room

While Clark still has a ways to go before reaching Curry’s legendary status, the fact that she’s already being mentioned alongside the two-time NBA MVP is a testament to her incredible potential. Given her recent accomplishments—such as breaking the all-time league record for most three-pointers by a rookie—Clark is rapidly establishing herself as the WNBA’s answer to Steph Curry, with the potential to carve out an even greater legacy.
