The New York Liberty star offered advice for her fellow generational talent.
One a Duck, the other a Hawkeye. One proclaims Liberty, the other caught Fever.The momentum of women's basketball has been partly built by immaculate timing, as some of the game's most fully-fledged talents have been there to propel it forward. Barclays Center is set to host two on May 18, as Sabrina Ionescu will welcome Liberty fans back to Brooklyn in style against Caitlin Clark and Fever.
It's far from Ionescu's responsibility to be a mentor to Clark, who put up 21 points in her unofficial WNBA debut in a Friday exhibtion, but the fifth-year pro offered her some professional advice from one supposed hardwood prophet to another.David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports "You've got to figure everything out on your own, you leave home, and there's just there's so many times that you can kind of ride this roller coaster of ups and downs. The rookie season is all about just kind of learning. Everything else will figure itself out."
Clark couldn't catch her in that department but set a similar mark in scoring while drawing a massive following of her own. With all eyes watching her collegiate finales in Iowa ... one spoiled by Boston's successors at South Carolina in the national championship game ... the WNBA is next in line to experience the supposed"Caitlin Clark effect."Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports

Statue of Liberty's Torch Struck by Lightning During StormA photo taken during storms in the Tri-state area appears to show the Statue of Liberty's torch getting zinged by a bolt of lightning. Lady Liberty is used to being zapped, reportedly being struck by lightning several times a year. An exact number is not known, but her height and copper coating, which conducts electricity, make her an easy target. Since 1886, Lady Liberty has stood on Liberty Island as a sentinel for liberty and justice for all, but she hasn't always been green. When the statue was completed in 1886, the copper panels shined like a new penny. However, over the years, the copper color shifted to green as the metal oxidized. The sculptor had no idea that the copper statue would change into its iconic greenish-blue color some 20 years later.
