The documentary featured Clark’s commentary on becoming the first WNBA rookie to record two triple-doubles in the same season.
Clark credited Aaliyah Boston for allowing her to grab the historic rebound with 10.2 seconds left against the Los Angeles Sparks on Sept. 4.
“Shout out to AB, she kind of let me get that rebound,” Clark laughed. “But I was lucky, because it bounced right in my direction, so I had to get it.”
Clark continued: “I think that you can tell the joy that it kind of brought my teammates as well, it just speaks to the team culture that we have here. Nobody really cares about themselves. They just want the best for their teammates.”
