Audi Crooks Just Crashed The NBA Legends Club -- Joins Elite List With Shaq, LeBron And More

There’s a reason they call Audi Crooks the “Lady Shaq” — because once she gets the ball in the paint, defenders might as well pack a suitcase and pray.

Simply put, in the words of Big Diesel himself: they’re barbecue chicken.

At 6’3”, the Iowa State superstar is bulldozing (and outclassing) everyone in her path, powering the Cyclones to an undefeated 11-0 start behind a throwback low-post game and a feather-soft mid-range touch.

And now, she’s officially joined basketball royalty.

According to OptaStats, Crooks is now one of only seven players across the NBA, WNBA, and NCAA Division I

this century to score 30+ points on 65% shooting in three straight games.

The names on that list? Nikola Jokic, Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, LeBron James, Shaquille O’Neal, Brittney Griner… and now, Audi Crooks. That’s not just elite company — that’s Hall of Fame-level company.

Crooks leads the entire college circuit in scoring at 27.8 points per game on a mind-bending 72.2% shooting — all without hitting a single 3-pointer.

Her formula? Stay present, let the game slow down, and reach what she calls her “flow state.”

“It’s kind of like you reach peak flow state. Nothing else really matters,” Crooks told CBS Sports earlier this year. “You’re in the moment… basketball becomes really, really easy, and you don’t have to think about it.”

Opponents have thrown every defensive scheme imaginable at her. Nothing works — and every night, she’s making history.

• First player to hit 300 points this season
• Scored in double figures for the 78th straight game, the longest active streak in the US.
• Iowa State single-game scoring record (47 vs Indiana State)
• Fastest to 1,000 career points in program history — in just 49 games
• Once dropped 43 points in 20 minutes

Crooks isn’t just dominating — she’s redefining what dominance looks like. And now, the entire basketball world is paying attention.
