Jason Whitlock is one of Caitlin Clark's biggest supporters, and on Friday, he made a bit of a bold claim about the Indiana Fever superstar.

Whitlock shared a photoshopped picture of Clark and Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton sitting across from each other with their foreheads touching. Haliburton had a guitar in his arms. The original image was of Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga from the movie "A Star Is Born."

"These 22s are the greatest love story in sports. Caitlin Clark made Tyrese Haliburton a superstar," Whitlock tweeted.

Whitlock's remark was metaphorical, as Clark and Haliburton are in separate relationships. The Pacers guard is dating Jade Jones, whom he met at Iowa State University.

Meanwhile, Clark is in a relationship with Butler Bulldogs assistant coach and former Iowa Hawkeye Connor McCaffery. They also met in college.

The Fever guard lifted Jones while hugging her and yelling with excitement. After breaking the embrace, Jones went on to hug Clark's boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, who stood behind her.

Jones, Clark and McCaffery were all dressed in Pacers gear. While the Fever star and her boyfriend wore yellow Pacers T-shirts, Jones had a yellow Pacers cap on.

Indiana won Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the OKC Thunder on Thursday. Haliburton was the hero of the night as he hit a clutch jumper with 0.3 seconds left to seal a 111-110 win.
