Others have made this comparison but I am repeating it since I feel as though it is a much more appropriate comparison than let's say comparing Kobe Byrant to Michael Jordan. Clark isn't just hyped for the 2 runs to the women's NCAA finals, she really is the closest NCAA/NBA/WNBA player to Steph Curry if you factor out sex/biology. She can pass the ball, dribble the ball, shoot 3's from far beyond the 3-point line and drive to the basket.
Curry happens to have had great impact on winning. But even Allen Iverson who often really didn't have a great impact on winning, received a ton of hype since his game was different. Many fans liked watching a short player with great athleticism try to battle against much taller players. Iverson's combination of scoring, speed and jumping ability for a player his height was pretty unique so he got a lot of attention.
