Video: Caitlin Clark Celebrated in Nike Commercial After Breaking NCAA Scoring Record

Nike was ready for the moment.

Almost immediately after Iowa guard Caitlin Clark passed Pete Maravich as the NCAA's all-time leading scorer in men's and women's basketball on Sunday, the apparel company released a commercial celebrating her greatness:

Clark entered Sunday's high-profile showdown against Ohio State just 17 points behind Maravich's mark of 3,667 points. It felt inevitable that she would get the 18 points she needed to become the record-holder, and she accomplished the feat in the first half.

The record-scoring point came on the free-throw line after the Buckeyes were called for a technical foul:

While Clark's pursuit of history was the primary storyline coming into the contest, the game also represented an opportunity for the Hawkeyes to enact some revenge. The Buckeyes defeated Iowa in January and already clinched the Big Ten regular-season championship prior to the rematch.

But a No. 1 seed in the Big Dance is still in play for both teams, and no opponent will want to see the NCAA's all-time leading scorer come tournament time.
