For those who've heard JuJu is better than Caitlin.

Don't misunderstand me -- I don't mean to belittle JuJu. She's a superstar -- but Caitlin is a megastar. There's no one on the past or present women's basketball scene who can compare to her. 

She led the entire Division 1 of the NCAA in both points and assists in her sophomore, junior, and senior years; she led Division 1 in points as a freshman but was edged out by three players in assists, one of whom (Aliyah Blackwell, Baylor) played 33 games that season to Clark's 30. 

Someone, someday, will probably beat her collegiate record for points scored; there are great shooters. Someone, someday, will probably beat her collegiate record for assists; there are great passers. But I don't think anyone alive today will see her record broken for both combined. 

Pistol Pete Maravich's collegiate scoring record stood for 53 years, until Caitlin broke it; I think Caitlin's record for combined points/assists will last longer than that.
