36 of her 40 games are going to be televised. The Fever have raised ticket prices. There's absolutely a ton of pressure on her. And she has a massive target on her because of the attention she received in college. ESPN and the WNBA need her to continue building on her success.

I like CC and Boston is definitely good, but Kelsey and NaLyssa are and will be at least as important. After all, when NaLyssa was injured last season, Fever suddenly had a problem. And BIG one.

Clark is literally looked at as women's basketball's Larry Bird in terms of being able to save the league along with Angel Reese and the rest of the draft class. She's gotten more coverage/attention than any women's ball player ever and she's the first overall pick. Not to mention the pressure she'll have from opponents and the target they'll put on her from the first game on. Saying she doesn't have pressure is an unhinged and insane take. She has a ton of pressure.

So Bird and Magic quite literally saved the nba. He also has that same parallel as Clark about the “great white hope” thing. But both went to smaller schools and made the national championship as well. Also for how long the wnba has been around to now, is about the same amount of years the NBA was around before Bird/Magic debuted. There are so many parallels it’s insane.

The one thing on top of everything she has done, the most impressive has been under how much pressure she has done it…at 21, 22….the one thing she will face, is harder opposition, more physicality, higher walls trying to block her shoots…but she also gets a great team…remember, there has been players like her…maradona, pele, Messi, LeBron, MJ…once in. A life time athletes…you saw everyone but CC, Martin, and Fair…CC was born and then trained to handle that kind of situations …she is just especial SA…just one in a life time..she is going to pass and assist like nothing you have seen, and when the other team get to distracted trying to guard her teammates, bam!!! From the LOGO…and when she get loose…bam, bam, bam…I just hope her coaches at Indiana allow her to play her game and prepare the rest of the team to dance to her rhythm…it will be a step by step process, first transition, then passes, then ball handling, then layouts, then assists, then all of the sudden, bam!!!

No one is talking about the pressure for the coach of the Indiana Fever. But if they play inside out with Boston and Clark they could be double trouble. Kind of like Amarie Stoudemire and Steve Nash when they played together.

Chicago Sky

I don’t even know any of these teams

What a day we never seen them cover the wnba like this

No pressure my A**😂 every top prospect that comes in to WNBA has pressure to show up , show out on and off the court .. they have to succeed so the game can grow and evolve .. WNBA stock is rising 📈

Watch CC drop 40 her first game in the wnba. Unlikely as a rookie but its CC we are talking about. Anything is possible 😅

There's pressure but 25 million dollar contracts sure takes some of it off.

Well that’s not true

It's alright these ladies are balling much better than I.

She needs a chip to solidify her GOAT status. A champion wins championship games point blank period. I’m rooting for her ! Let’s go.

Bro CC has an entire sport on her shoulders. The pressure couldn’t be any heavier.

Molly asking Shannon if he won is the funniest thing on earth😂

She has pressure for sure, however playing with people who are as talented as she is and more I think will make her adjustment to the pros easier. At Iowa she had to do so much because outside of her those teams were average at best. I imagine she gets easier looks at the next level and she will be more efficient in her game.

The best thing about Caitlin Clark is her ability to play with anybody. That doesn't change in May. The only pressure she has is to play her game, which I don't think that's pressure. As a player, that's just fun. That young woman is at a whole different level. IDK why people think her game is just going to fall apart as soon as she walks on the court with pro women. Caitlin Clark is going to be just fine.

Clark is the Messi of women’s basketball. She is an artist.

I think the reason she said no pressure is on her is because she has so many people, little darling, that can't do anything wrong , if she have a bad shooting year they going to say it was her first year in the wnba give her time to adjust to the lead .

She has more ''relative'' pressure to perform right away, and she will because - like Magic - she has dual top tier talents and will be unstoppable.

Pressure is now on her to win.
