The ability to transcend a sport and do something that has never been seen before is rarefied air. Only a few in basketball history have done that, such as Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, and Stephen Curry. But there aren’t just transcendent men’s basketball players, as Caitlin Clark has undoubtedly taken the women’s game to new heights due to her scoring and long-range prowess.
One of those transcendent all-time greats compared Clark to another GOAT on the men’s side. O'Neal, whose game was just about as polar opposite as Clark’s, does see similarities in her impact with that of basketball’s three-point king in Curry.
