Caitlin Clark Makes 3-Word Victor Wembanyama Admission During NBA Playoffs

You have to be pretty special on the basketball court to impress Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark, and it seems San Antonio Spurs forward Victor Wembanyama is doing exactly that.

The NBA playoffs tipped off this weekend, and on Sunday night, the Spurs - led by Wembanyama, one of this season's MVP finalists - opened their postseason run against the Portland Trail Blazers.

There didn't appear to be many nerves or much of a learning curve for the 22-year-old seven-footer, as he scored 12 first-quarter points. After a standout move and emphatic dunk, Clark posted a three-word reaction on social media.

"Wemby is ridiculous," she wrote on X.

Clark, like Wembanyama, entered the professional ranks not only as the clear No. 1 overall pick in her respective league, but also with immense expectations to be great - and both have lived up to the hype.

While Clark spent most of last season injured, appearing in just 13 games before suffering a season-ending groin injury, her early career résumé closely mirrors Wembanyama's.

Beyond being No. 1 overall picks, both were named Rookie of the Year and have already made two All-Star Game appearances.
