Caitlin Clark made her highly anticipated debut on the New Heights podcast, with host Jason Kelce revealing that she is the most requested guest in the show’s history. The Indiana Fever point guard has had an extraordinary rookie season in the WNBA, earning the Rookie of the Year title and breaking numerous records. Her rapid rise from college sensation to WNBA star has cemented her as one of basketball’s brightest emerging talents.
Clark now holds the record for the most assists in a single WNBA season, as well as the highest points scored by a rookie. Additionally, she became the fastest player to achieve 100 three-pointers, further solidifying her place in the league’s history books. At just 22 years old, her swift progression from NCAA dominance to being named Time magazine’s Female Athlete of the Year signals an unstoppable trajectory for the young player.
Both Jason and Travis Kelce were elated to have Clark on their podcast, with Jason introducing her as a powerhouse in the sports world. He recounted her remarkable achievements, including being the NCAA’s all-time Division I scoring leader, the WNBA’s assist leader, and the 2024 Rookie of the Year. Her list of accolades prompted Jason to exclaim, “She’s the most requested guest in the history of our show,” before warmly welcoming her onto the podcast.
Clark, known for her typically reserved demeanor, revealed that she doesn’t usually get excited about such appearances, but made an exception for New Heights, calling it “at the top of my list.” Her candidness prompted a chuckle from Travis Kelce, who jokingly responded, “We made it, Jason.” Clark’s appearance on the podcast is a significant milestone, given the array of notable figures who have previously been guests, such as NFL stars Rob Gronkowski, Shannon Sharpe, Patrick Mahomes, and even Arnold Schwarzenegger.
As the conversation turned to sports fandom, Clark revealed her strong loyalty to the Kansas City Chiefs, a passion instilled in her by her father. Despite some fans labeling her a “bandwagon” fan due to the Chiefs’ recent dominance, Clark clarified her long-standing support for the team. She proudly stated, “I was there before Patrick and Travis,” crediting her father for her Chiefs fandom and applauding the Kelce brothers’ contributions to the team’s success.
