**Unrivaled Basketball League Courts Caitlin Clark with Massive Offer**

The Unrivaled Basketball League is making bold moves to attract Fever All-Star Caitlin Clark. Co-founded by Breanna Stewart of the Liberty and Napheesa Collier of the Lynx, the new 3-on-3 league revealed that Clark's Fever teammate, Lexie Hull, will be one of its 30 players for its inaugural season starting January 2025.

Hull, who shares a close friendship with Clark off the court, was announced as the 29th player in the league's lineup. Earlier in the week, the league welcomed its 28th recruit, Aces guard Kate Martin, a former Iowa teammate and one of Clark's best friends. Both Hull and Martin earned their spots following impressive WNBA rookie seasons.

The timing of these announcements is noteworthy: Clark, Martin, and fellow Hawkeye alum Gabbie Marshall recently reunited at an Iowa women's basketball practice and shared a TikTok video with current player Jada Gyamfi. This has fueled speculation that Clark might be the final addition to the roster, especially given the league’s social media strategy, which has deftly stoked the buzz around Clark's involvement.

In a strategic move to entice Clark, Unrivaled reportedly extended a "Messi-like offer" exceeding $1 million plus revenue-sharing opportunities. The league aims to offer players a lucrative alternative to playing overseas, providing them the chance to compete and earn in the United States year-round. Moreover, players in Unrivaled's first season will receive equity in the league, bolstered by a multi-year broadcasting deal with TNT.

Clark, who has already secured seven-figure endorsement deals with brands like Wilson, Nike, Gatorade, and State Farm, could find the offer particularly appealing. Unrivaled’s promise of significant financial rewards and influence in a pioneering new league might just be enough to win over one of basketball’s rising stars.
