Since becoming a star for the Iowa women's college basketball program, Caitlin Clark has received countless awards and accolades for her outstanding achievements on the court. She led the NCAA in scoring and assists three different times, became the all-time NCAA Division I scoring leader, and was a three-time first-team All-American. Her success made her the unquestioned No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft by the Indiana Fever, and shortly after, a rookie WNBA All-Star.
More often than not, Clark had been the first pick—the easy pick—for any award or honor. That is until the Paris Olympics. In a move that garnered some controversy, Clark was left off the United States women's basketball national team roster for the Paris Olympic Games.
