The Big Ten Network released a video of dozens of celebrities congratulating Caitlin Clark for setting the all-time women’s basketball record.
The A-listers included seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback Tom Brady, college basketball legend Brittney Griner, as well as Iowa fans and married actors Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis.
On Thursday night, Clark became NCAA women’s basketball’s all-time leading scorer, surpassing Kelsey Plum’s total of 3,527 in the first quarter of a Hawkeyes game against Michigan.
Clark has far exceeded expectations as a promising player and will likely be the No. 1 overall pick in this summer’s WNBA Draft.
Now, Clark is the talk of the college basketball universe with her place as the best scorer the women’s game has ever seen.
Brady was the first celebrity to appear in the Big Ten’s video to congratulate Clark
Griner, who was chasing the same record that Clark now holds, also appeared in the feature-length video
Kutcher and Kunis are extremely famous and took time to celebrate Clark’s achievement
âI just wanted to say congratulations,â Brady said. âLike the rest of the country, I’ve been following you guys chasing my girl Kelsey. But I know she’s proud of you too.â
âHey Caitlin, I just wanted to congratulate you on becoming the all-time leading scorer,â Griner said. âKeep going, keep pushing and good luck.â
“We just wanted to congratulate you on breaking the scoring record, you did a great job!” Kunis and Kutcher said.
âI just wanted to take a moment to congratulate Caitlin Clark on the scoring record,â Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard said. ‘Big fan of your game, much respect for you. I like the way you do it, you’re a real killer.’
Clark set the record against Michigan on Thursday, needing eight points entering the game
Clark’s star power has exploded in the past year, matching the general interest in women’s college basketball.
Last year’s title game, featuring Clark and Iowa against the Angel Reese-led LSU Tigers, broke the previous ratings record of 5.7 million viewers with 9.9 million tuning in. That record will likely fall again in less than two months.
Clark is once again on the front burner for the Hawkeyes for a run at a national championship. Like last season, Iowa would likely have to beat an undefeated South Carolina team to lift a trophy.
