The Big Ten Network released a video featuring dozens of celebrities congratulating Caitlin Clark on setting the record for all women in college basketball.
The star cast included seven-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady, college basketball legend Brittney Griner, and Iowa fans and married actors Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis.
On Thursday night, Clark became the all-time leading scorer in NCAA women's basketball, surpassing Kelsey Plum's point total of 3,527 in the first quarter of a Hawkeyes game against Michigan.
Clark has more than exceeded expectations as a blue-chip prospect and will likely be the No. 1 overall pick in this summer's WNBA Draft.
Clark is now the talk of the college basketball universe as the best scorer the women's game has ever seen.
Brady was the first celebrity to appear in the Big Ten's video to congratulate Clark
Griner, who was chasing the same record Clark now holds, also appeared in the lengthy video
Kutcher and Kunis are extremely famous and took the time to celebrate Clark's achievement
“I just wanted to say congratulations on the record,” Brady said. “Like the rest of the country, I've been chasing you while you're chasing my girl Kelsey. But I know she's proud of you too.”
“Hey Caitlin, I just wanted to congratulate you on becoming the all-time leading scorer,” Griner said. “Keep going, keep going and good luck.”
“We just wanted to congratulate you on breaking the scoring record, you did a great job!” said Kunis and Kutcher.
“I just wanted to take a moment to congratulate Caitlin Clark on her scoring record,” said Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard. “Huge fan of your game, huge respect for you.” “I like the way you do it, you're a real killer.”
Clark set the record against Michigan on Thursday, needing eight points to start the game
Clark's star power exploded last year, coinciding with the general interest in college women's basketball.
Last year's title game, which pitted Clark and Iowa against the Angel Reese-led LSU Tigers, surpassed the previous ratings record of 5.7 million viewers with 9.9 million viewers. This record is likely to fall again in less than two months.
Clark is once again at the forefront of the Hawkeyes' quest for a national championship. Just like last season, Iowa would likely have to face an undefeated South Carolina team to lift a trophy.
