Caitlin Clark is thriving with one of Allen Iverson's old plays: Fever guard embracing the Iverson Ricky

Caitlin Clark and Allen Iverson share some things in common. They're both six feet tall, both guards, and can both score with the best of them. They're linked up in history too — Clark broke Iverson's record of 29 consecutive 20-point, 5-assist games at the college level, recording 30 straight as a senior.

It should be no surprise then that Clark has been thriving in a set that was created by Iverson over two decades ago. Here's the play that has Fever opponents pulling their hair out trying to stop.

Caitlin Clark and the Iverson Ricky.

I was running that double screen in the early 70s. I would have thought it was a standard play for any team with a quick guard. Especially one who can really jump.
Iverson played in 90s & aughts. That was 25 to 30 years after my HS team did it.
Never would have guessed it was associated with AI.
