Basketball is a team sport. Of course, some players will always stand out from the rest of the pack, and every team needs a star. Even so, no one can win on their own.
Caitlin Clark’s rise to the top has been a long time in the making. She became the face of college basketball when she played for the Iowa Hawkeyes, and he carried that distinction to the pros.
However, the WNBA isn’t anything like college basketball. That’s why fellow Hawkeye and Indiana Fever teammate Natasha Howard wants her to trust her teammates.
Natasha Howard doesn’t want Caitlin Clark doing everything
“Everybody knows she can shoot the heck out the ball. And she can pass,” Howard said. “But just letting her know you don’t have to do everything like you had to do in Iowa. You have great teammates and phenomenal players around you that can take that weight off your shoulders.”

Of course, Clark isn’t the type of player who strikes as selfish or who usually resorts to hero ball. Then again, she still needs to figure out when to deflect attention away from her.
Clark has every single thing she needs to be the best female basketball player in the world, perhaps even of all time. Still, even the legendary Michael Jordan needed Scottie Pippen.
