Congrats [Caitlin Clark] on breaking the [WNBA] single season assist record!” Paul wrote. Paul’s message drew plenty of reactions from fans, with many people calling Clark the WNBA’s “Point God” or “Point Goddess.” For those not in the know, CP3 is also known affectionately as the “Point God” in the NBA. “The Point God’s.
