Without a doubt, Caitlin Clark has already proven herself as one of the brightest stars in the WNBA.Known for her incredible talent and memorable performances, she continues to capture the spotlight. It’s no surprise that she was selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft after an outstanding career at Iowa, where she amazed fans and scouts.

During her college career, it was clear that Caitlin Clark was destined for the WNBA, a dream that became reality last year when she joined the Indiana Fever. However, what many fans don’t know is that before entering the league, Clark actually turned down a stunning offer from another professional basketball organization.
Caitlin Clark rejected a stunning multi-million-dollar basketball offer
It is undeniable that Caitlin Clark has become one of the most iconic and representative figures in the WNBA today. Despite battling through a recent stretch of injuries, she has not allowed setbacks to slow down her rise. Her unique playing style, electrifying performances, and unmatched shooting ability continue to captivate fans and draw massive attention wherever she plays.
That is why, during her college career, Caitlin Clark received a once-in-a-lifetime offer that very few athletes would dare to reject. The proposal came from the well-known BIG3 basketball league, founded by legendary rapper and entrepreneur Ice Cube. The league has been well known for attracting elite talent and high-profile names, made a strong bid to bring Clark.
The three-on-three BIG3 league reportedly offered Caitlin Clark a $15 million deal after she was selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. Although initial rumors suggested the offer was only $5 million, it was later clarified that the true value, confirming the substantial bid for the WNBA star.
“We offered Caitlin Clark $15 million,” said BIG3, during an appearance on the TFU podcast. He added, “It started at $5 million, but the official final offer was $15 million for 10 weeks,” clarifying any doubts about the numbers proposed to the current Indiana Fever star.
Was turning down the deal the right move for Caitlin Clark?
Despite the rapid growth and impressive talent pool of the BIG3 league in the U.S., it still cannot match the prestige, visibility, and competitive level of the WNBA or NBA. The league’s three-on-three format also emphasizes a different style of play and has a distinct focus.
For these reasons, pursuing a career in the giving her the chance to compete at the highest level and furtherWNBA was the smarter choice for Caitlin Clark, build her legacy. However, one drawback is the financial difference, the BIG3 offer was significantly higher, though the level of competition and exposure in the WNBA far outweighs the monetary advantage.

Pozor, pálí oslavenec Rrahmani! Kanonýr Sparty je ve formě, do kabiny donesl dobroty
V neděli oslavil kosovský forvard 25. narozeniny. A stylově. Od začátku byl nebezpečný. Možná některá přečíslení nevyřešil tak, jak si situace žádala, vše ale splatil později. Nejprve ve 31. minutě, kdy si při rohu Kaana Kairinena naběhl na přední tyč a levačkou překonal Stanislava Dostála.Druhý zásah přidal přibližně po hodině hry. Tentokrát si za vápnem navedl míč na svou silnější pravačku a poslal balon nechytatelně k přední tyči. V tu chvíli zvyšoval na 3:0.Možná je to náhoda, ale 31. srpna se prosadil i minulý rok, kdy pomohl gólem a asistencí k triumfu 2:0 v Hradci Králové. No a rok 2023? To ještě oblékal dres Rapidu Bukurešť a 1. září se dvakrát se trefil v městském derby proti Dinamu.V aktuální sezoně pod staronovým koučem Sparty Brianem Priskem pookřál. Už má na svém kontě osm branek. Z toho pět ligových, v nejvyšší soutěži se aktuálně dělí o první příčku s Matějem Vydrou z Plzně.

The picture above, taken shortly after Everton’s 3-2 win at Wolves on Saturday, encapsulates the positive mood around the Merseyside club right now.Fresh from another match-winning turn, Jack Grealish was pulled into, and almost subsumed by, the waves of blue-clad supporters in the away end. “It was like a UFC chokehold,” Grealish said later. “Bless them, it was unbelievable. That’s what it’s about.” For the third time in a week, chants of ‘Super Jack’ were audible as the 29-year-old made his way off the Molineux pitch.AdvertisementSoon after, Bryan Adams’ Summer Of ’69 could be heard blasting out from the Everton dressing room. Grealish strolled around the tunnel area, shirt off, still revelling in this latest triumph. It is still early days in his season-long loan from Manchester City, but he appears to have regained the confidence and purpose that helped […]
