Caitlin Clark shattered scoring records during her time at the University of Iowa, becoming the all-time leading scorer across both men’s and women’s college basketball. This immense talent made her the undisputed top prospect for the 2024 WNBA Draft. The Indiana Fever used the number one pick to select Caitlin Clark.
Well, Caitlin Clark isn’t just dominating the WNBA court. She’s also making waves in the endorsement world with a massive deal with Nike. Reports suggest the total value of the deal exceeds $10 million. Industry sources estimate Clark could be earning $1 million annually just from the shoe aspect of the deal. A key part of the deal is that Clark is expected to have her own signature shoe with Nike.
Now, after the news of Nike collaborating with Caitlin Clark went viral, it lead 2X WNBA champion A’ja Wilson to post a Biblical message on her X account.
Wilson wrote, “Psalm 37:7.”
Well, Psalm 37:7 in a nutshell means trusting God’s plan and not letting jealousy or worry cloud your faith.
