Steph Curry came close to landing Caitlin Clark in a major endorsement deal. According to The Athletic, the Golden State Warriors star, who launched Curry Brand as a standalone venture with Under Armour, participated in the companies\u2019 meeting with Clark. The former Iowa Hawkeyes star is expected to sign an eight-figure endorsement deal with Nike.<\/p>\n
The Athletic wrote: \u201cCurry Brand signed Kings star De\u2019Aaron Fox as its first NBA athlete late last year, and inked University of South Carolina guard MiLaysia Fulwiley to a multiyear NIL deal, making her the first college athlete to partner directly with the company.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clark was selected by the Indiana Fever at No. 1 overall in the WNBA Draft this week. After the draft, Clark talked about how she\u2019s conducting off-the-court business now that she\u2019s a professional athlete.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I\u2019m being completely honest, I feel like it doesn\u2019t change a ton from how I lived my life over the course of the last year,\u201d she said. \u201cSponsorships stay the same. The people around me, agents and whatnot, have been able to help me and guide me through the course of the last year. I don\u2019t know if I would be in this moment if it wasn\u2019t for a lot of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clark fell short of winning a national championship, but that didn\u2019t prevent her from becoming arguably the biggest star in women\u2019s college basketball history. During her time at Iowa, Clark was a four-time first-time All-Amerian, led the nation in scoring three times and was named AP Player of the Year in 2023 and 2024. During her introductory press conference, Clark expressed how much she loves being a member of the Fever.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are the moments you dream of,\u201d\u00a0Clark told the crowd. \u201c\u2026I can\u2019t think of a better place to start my career. A place that loves basketball, that supports women\u2019s basketball, and an organization that really does things the right way, has championship pedigree. I\u2019m just very thankful that they have belief in me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clark also talked about her expectations for the fans during her rookie year. \u00a0\u201cWomen\u2019s basketball in this state is pretty incredible\u20266,000 people just to stare at a screen and see who gets picked in a draft is pretty incredible,\u201d she said. \u201cSo I expect big numbers this summer. I think that people couldn\u2019t be more excited about where this organization is going, the people that are on this roster, and the potential.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
