Due to the brilliance of the likes of Caitlin Clark, and simmering rivalries, women’s college basketball is quickly becoming a must-watch. Further, a determined effort to promote the game from legends could add to the game’s appeal.

So, the 3-time Champion’s endorsement of Caitlin Clark is sure to bring new eyes to the 21-year-old phenom.

Dwyane Wade has his sights on the Iowa star, Caitlin Clark

Since last season, the women’s college basketball scene has seen a dramatic upturn. Between splendid talent and genuine rivalries, fans could be witnessing the Larry Bird-Magic Johnson kind of revolution for the entire sport.

In the meanwhile, an endorsement from one of the all-time greats is certainly spurring the movement. While his brother takes over the player development department, D-Wade has his focus on the women’s collegiate scene.

With Caitlin and her nemesis/friend Angel Reese leading the charge, perhaps women’s basketball could find its Magic-Bird moment.

Caitlin vs Reese or the modern-day Bird vs Magic?

The similarities are too many to not notice. While the NBA was a middling sport, with Finals matches appearing on TV pre-taped, a breakthrough was for it to truly ascend the national ranks. Thankfully, that came with the arrival of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.
