Everyone knows Caitlin Clark is a great shooter. Her ability to shoot from long distance is a huge part of her game, which also makes her one of the deadliest offensive players in the game.
In her rookie season, Clark not only led the league in 3-pointers made with 122, but she also set the rookie record for the most triples ever. In the history of the WNBA, the Fever guard had the second-most 3-point makes in a single season, only behind Sabrina Ionescu’s 128 in 2023.
Despite that, fans were still left in awe by her latest showing, as it only further highlights how remarkable of a shooter she is.
“That’s wild,” a commenter wrote. Another one said, “Caitlin Clark 50-54! That is GOAT stuff on the GOAT’s birthday!”
“That’s pretty incredible – Caitlin Clark just shot 92% from the 3-point line. Out of 54 rapid-fire shots! Outrageous,” another supporter shared.
“I keep thinking it’s a video loop. But it’s not. Insane,” a fan added.
A social media user further stated, “That’s crazy. Wow!!!!!!”
“Holy Moly! Oh, and Happy Birthday,” a shocked poster said.
