Trailblazers helped open door for Caitlin Clark but Clark exceeds expectations (Howard Megdal)
Caitlin Clark is already on her way to being the greatest women's basketball player ever. To some, she's already the greatest. That doesn't mean women's basketball started when Caitlin Clark started playing basketball at Iowa. Over the decades, many women opened doors so the future stars could walk through. And when Clark is older, she will more than likely do that for the next generation. Howard Megdal, author of the book 'Becoming Caitlin Clark,' realizes that those from the past may not have received enough credit for putting women's basketball on a level for a Caitlin Clark to become a megastar, but that it shouldn't diminish from the fact that Clark seized the opportunity that not many others could have done.#CaitlinClark #IndianaFever #WNBA #AAPodcast #AwfulAnnouncingDownload the Awful Announcing Podcast:
