Basketball fans, buckle up — the future of the WNBA is now, and the hype machine just went into overdrive. Fresh off her historic NCAA career and viral WNBA debut, Caitlin Clark has now teamed up with State Farm for a brand-new, star-studded commercial that’s doing more than just selling insurance. It’s fueling the fire for the most anticipated WNBA Draft class in years — the 2025 class, led by none other than Paige Bueckers.

In the commercial, which dropped this week and immediately began trending on social media, Clark — now with the Indiana Fever — plays both herself and a “State Farm agent” version of herself, walking viewers through what she calls “The Next Big Thing” in women’s basketball. That big thing? The 2025 draft, with a spotlight directly on UConn’s superstar, Paige Bueckers.

And let’s be clear: this is no ordinary ad. This is a cultural moment.

🌟 Caitlin Clark’s Star Power Expands

After smashing records at Iowa, leading her team to back-to-back NCAA championship game appearances, and igniting a national conversation about women’s sports viewership, Caitlin Clark is now fully in her “superstar” era. Her move to the WNBA has been one of the most closely followed rookie transitions in league history.

So it makes perfect sense that State Farm — known for pairing sports icons with clever ad concepts — tapped her for this campaign. But what surprised fans most was that Clark wasn’t just promoting herself. She used her platform to shine a light on what’s next, especially Paige Bueckers, whom she called “a game-changer, through and through.”

👑 “Paige Is Coming”

In one of the ad’s most talked-about moments, Clark looks directly into the camera and says:

“Paige is coming. And she’s not coming quietly.”

That one line — delivered with intensity and confidence — has already become a meme and rallying cry for women’s basketball fans across the country. It speaks to the anticipation surrounding Bueckers, who is poised to enter the 2025 WNBA Draft after an injury comeback season at UConn.

Clark and Bueckers have long been considered two sides of the same generational coin: hyper-skilled, high-IQ players who’ve changed the way we talk about women’s hoops. To see Clark give Bueckers that stamp of approval in such a high-profile ad? It felt like a passing of the torch — or at least a nod of respect between future legends.

🔮 The 2025 WNBA Draft: A Generational Class?

Beyond Bueckers, the 2025 WNBA Draft is projected to be one of the most stacked in league history. Alongside Paige, names like:

Angel Reese (if she delays declaring),
Hailey Van Lith (depending on her eligibility and transfer),
Azzi Fudd (if fully healthy),
and Olivia Miles

are all expected to be top prospects.

The State Farm ad is being praised not just for its creativity, but for helping to promote the long-term growth of the league. WNBA fans — both new and old — are already buzzing about where these players could land and how they’ll reshape teams across the league.

🗣️ Social Media Reaction: “Best Sports Ad in Years”

The internet has had a lot to say — and it’s mostly glowing praise. On X (formerly Twitter), basketball fans called the commercial “a masterclass in hype,” and many pointed out how it signals a shift in how the media and big brands treat women’s sports.

Some comments from fans include:

“Caitlin Clark putting Paige Bueckers on in a national ad?? That’s sisterhood. That’s legacy. That’s GOAT behavior.”
“This State Farm ad is basically the Marvel teaser of the WNBA. Give me all the sequels.”
“Bueckers is about to cook in 2025 and Caitlin knows it. The future is wild.”
