Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark gave thanks to the people who have supported her journey to becoming a professional basketball player via X on Wednesday.
Caitlin Clark @CaitlinClark22Year one ✅ — thank you to the many people who have supported me as I've been able to live my childhood dream.

Clark met the hype and then some, leading the Fever to their first playoff campaign since 2016. The ex-Iowa star averaged 19.2 points, an WNBA-high 8.4 assists, 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game, setting a host of records along the way.
Keith Jenkins of ESPN listed them all, but the most notable ones include most assists in a single season, most points by a rookie in WNBA history, first-ever triple-double by a rookie in league history and the rookie single-season scoring record. She also became the first player in league history to record 20-plus points, 15-plus assists and five-plus rebounds in a game.
In addition, the All-Star won WNBA Rookie of the Month four times and Eastern Conference Player of the Week three times.
Ultimately, it was a sensational year one that should lead to a phenomenal career. For now, Clark should enjoy a well-deserved offseason before year two.
