A photographer tells why she was inspired to have Iowa star Caitlin Clark re-create an iconic photo of Lakers legend Kobe Bryant holding a trophy in the shower stall.
Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark and her Hawkeyes teammates had just wrapped up their third straight Big Ten championship. As Bri Lewerke watched the celebration on the Target Center floor in Minneapolis, the freelance photographer couldn't help but think about another basketball icon — the late Kobe Bryant, who had become a huge champion for women's sports following his 20-year career with the Lakers.
'We had been talking all weekend and she made sure that I was able to kind of follow her around after the celebration and after the game to get a bunch of photos.' Lewerke was taking photos of Clark after the championship game when she pitched the idea of re-creating the celebrated Bryant photos.
