Caitlyn Clark has drawn some criticism from fans online after attempting to create an iconic Kobe Bryant moment.
The Iowa Hawkeyes star won her third consecutive Big Ten Tournament on Sunday night as she helped her team come from behind to beat Nebraska in a game that needed overtime to decide its result.
She took some championship photos after securing the conference silverware, copying Bryant’s famous NBA Finals snap.

Fans Aren’t Feeling The Caitlyn Clark Recreation
Fans have slammed this as they reckon a conference championship doesn’t warrant such, though it was the Iowa star’s third straight.
“I don’t wanna sound like a hater but…I feel like you gotta do more than win a conference title against unranked Nebraska to do recreate this pic,” one fan wrote.

Meanwhile, Caitlyn is headed to the WNBA, having opted to forego her final year of eligibility in college to declare for the draft.
She will hope to add a National Championship to her CV before leaving the NCAA, having lost the final to the LSU Tigers last year.
If she does happen to win the Natty this time around, she probably wouldn’t be able to repeat the Kobe moment as it would really be cringeworthy to do it twice.
