Caitlin Clark has been one of the biggest names in the league so far. Before the WNBA entered the league, it had very limited visibility. However, following her impeccable performance back in 2024, a boom in viewership elevated the female basketball player to the next level.
Speaking of her impact on the game, Clark was recently approached to judge the Miss USA beauty pageant. And that’s not all. Kelsey Mitchell recently pointed out how much she loved and respected the Fever star.
Likewise, NBA trainer Chris Brickley seems deeply impressed by what Clark has accomplished over the years. And reflecting on the same, Brickley had a lot of good words for the Fever phenom.
Chris Brickley Hopes To Work With Caitlin Clark Soon
Clark has remained quite muted this season. And the reason for that was her lingering groin injury. She worked hard to regain match fitness but managed to play only 13 games before being ruled out for the remainder of the season.
Now then, as the offseason is underway, Clark is hoping to resume action for USA Basketball. And ahead of that, Brickley wants the former Iowa star to come to his gym and sharpen her game.
“This offseason, I’m hoping that she’ll come to New York and we’ll get some work in. Man, she’s the reason why the WNBA has become so big. I’d love to work with her…and I love her competitiveness,” said Brickley.

For the uninitiated, Brickley is a renowned trainer who has worked with notable clients such as Angel Reese, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant in the past. And speaking of James, Clark has just elevated herself to the King’s level.
Caitlin Clark Ranks Among The Likes Of LeBron James In Terms Of Popularity
For years, basketball fans have been divided over the most popular player. Is it LeBron James, Stephen Curry, or Michael Jordan? But now, things are seemingly changing rapidly. And for the first time, a WNBA athlete, Caitlin Clark, has come up to sit beside the likes of James and Curry.
A recent update on X, formerly Twitter, ranked Clark as the world’s third most popular basketball player. According to a survey conducted by YouGov market research, James had 92% popularity, Curry had 72%, and Clark had an impressive 68% popularity.
Surely, garnering a whopping $54 million viewership altogether for the WNBA was not a joke. And now, as the Fever star breaks the barrier, things are looking all the more rosy for Caitlin Clark.
