Caitlin and the Ant-Man: Beyond the Arc and Above the Rim

Caitlin and Ant Man

Mike and Tarlin are back with another must-see episode of Running It Back, and this time we’re raving over the transcendent athletes taking the sports world by storm. The dynamic duo kicks things off by marveling at Anthony Edwards’ jaw-dropping block against the Pacers, with the “Ant-Man” soaring through the air and hitting his head on the rim and backboard in a play that instantly etched itself into highlight reel lore.

But the real star of the show is Caitlin Clark, the unstoppable scorer from Iowa who’s shattering records and captivating audiences with her unconscious shooting and elite playmaking. Tarlin can’t get enough of Clark’s gravitational pull, watching her games from start to finish as she makes a serious case for being this generation’s Steph Curry…but an even better passer.

The guys go full historian, waxing poetic about the iconic moments that made viewers stop everything – from Dr. J’s acrobatic scoop layup to Michael Jordan’s hand-switch bucket against the Lakers. They run through a veritable Mount Rushmore of must-see athletes, where absolute legends like Tiger Woods, Usain Bolt, and Serena Williams all get their shine. We even touch on chess and bowling legends as we run the gamut of riveting sports endeavors.

With March Madness on the horizon, we implore folks to appreciate Caitlin’s greatness and keep an eye on rising stars like Juju Watkins while filling out those brackets. Don’t snooze on the Women’s Bracket, because when generational talents like these take the floor, you simply can’t afford to miss it. Get your popcorn ready!
