Caitlin Clark responds to critics ahead of Iowa jersey retirement: 'I really don't care'
Caitlin Clark has been one of the more polarizing figures in sports over the last year-plus, but she's thankfully been able to block out the noise.
Clark set numerous records in her senior year, including becoming the NCAA's all-time leading scorer, and parlayed it all into becoming the No. 1 overall pick.
