She left an indelible mark on the game, becoming the all-time leading scorer in major college basketball and being  the  fan favourite player she carried the spotlight. Her impact was likened to that of Bird and Magic, elevating her team with her scoring prowess and basketball IQ. It's no wonder that Lisa Leslie, a legend in her own right, has fervently expressed that Clark should be a shoo-in for Team USA at the Paris Olympics.
