Nancy Lieberman shared a throwback photo of Caitlin Clark and mentioned that life is about showing up for your friends.

Caitlin Clark recently concluded a successful participation in the Annika Pro-Am, where she discussed pushing the frontiers of women’s sports and how fans are now more involved in women’s sports than ever. During the press conference, Clark admitted that golf sparks more nerves than basketball due to solo pressure. But she enjoyed the event and lauded the impact of fellow participants.

While CC clearly has a massive pull bringing in crowds for basketball and now for golf, there is one past basketball star who had a similar impact on fans – Nancy Lieberman. The former WABA player recently shared a post where she lauded the Fever guard.

The timing of the post hints at some guidance from the legend to the rookie, as Clark could join Team USA Basketball next for the FIBA World Cup Qualifiers. This is undoubtedly an encouraging sign for Fever fans, who now see much support and guidance pouring in for their playmaker.
