The surge in demand places Clark ahead of traditional superstars such as LeBron James and Luka Doncic, while rising phenom Victor Wembanyama rounds out the top five.

Now she will lead the United States into the World Cup in Berlin, where the American squad is drawn into Group D alongside Czechia, China and Italy, a bracket that promises intense competition as the team chases a historic fifth straight world championship.
