Caitlin Clark’s absurd trick shot looks straight out of Steph Curry’s playbook

Indiana fever star Caitlin Clark might be sidelined for the next few games, but that doesn't mean that there isn't constant proof of the absolute heater she holsters with her three point range.

Clark is well-known for being able to hit shots from the logo with ease - just watch literally any WNBA game broadcast and you'll catch her State Farm commercial making fun of this exact fact. Her range is often put to the test with a lot of defenders full court pressing Clark, leaving her to set screens almost near the timeline and heave shots from around there.

However, in testing this range, Fever fans caught a glimpse of just how ridiculous Clark's shooting is, even from behind the basket.

In the latest YouTube video from "Dude Perfect" they share the court with Clark to attempt some of the most "difficult" trick shots in basketball. One of these shots is one from multiple rows up and behind the basket, so the view is ridiculously obstructed and you of course do not have the backboard at your disposal to bank any long shots in.

Yet, Clark hits the shot on her first try. You can catch the specific trick shot at about the 2:15 mark of the video but, the whole thing is worth watching since Clark just wipes the floor with many of these attempts.

Clark hits trick shot almost too easily

The trick shot, which seemed to even take Clark by surprise, is one that Fever fans would probably love to see her attempt in warm ups. It's similar to Steph Curry's tunnel shot that he attempts in every pregame, delighting fans who show up to games early and showing off his ridiculous range.

Clark hasn't been able to find her footing just yet with her three point shot - only hitting at a clip of 31.4 percent on the year, which is mostly due to her only having played four games. And, she seems to have potentially been playing through an injury during her poor shooting game against the New York Liberty, which sank her percentages even more.

Clark, with rest, will probably heat up just as she did last season when it took her a minute to adjust to WNBA speeds and strength as a rookie. With her and Kelsey Mitchell beginning to shoot much more efficiently, Indiana's offense is about to look night and day.
