Caitlin Clark stuns with a classy gesture toward JuJu Watkins that has everyone talking

Caitlin Clark made a remarkable and unexpected gesture of elegance toward JuJu Watkins, sparking conversations across women’s basketball circles.

Women’s college basketball has a rising star in JuJu Watkins. The young USC standout continues to shatter records and establish herself as one of the most electrifying players in the NCAA.

Her latest milestone came in the Big Ten championship game, where, despite USC’s loss to UCLA, she surpassed a record previously held by Caitlin Clark, the most points scored in the first two seasons of a college career.

With 1,684 points, Watkins has now eclipsed Clark 1,662-point mark from her time at Iowa. However, beyond the numbers, what has truly captured attention recently is an unexpected gesture from Clark toward the young star.

Caitlin Clark and the gesture that left a mark on JuJu Watkins

More than a rivalry, a legacy. During last year’s Wooden Awards, Caitlin Clark displayed an attitude that reflected her greatness beyond the court. Instead of seeing Watkins as just another competitor, Clark extended a helping hand, offering something invaluable, her guidance and support.

According to USC head coach Lindsay Gottlieb, Clark approached her and said, “I know what it’s like to be under the spotlight. I’ve dealt with the pressure, the attention, and the expectations. JuJu is going to go through the same, but for even longer. Here’s my number. Call me if I can ever help her.”
