Caitlyn Clark

 



For those of you unfamiliar with this blog, what we see here in the picture is what we like to promote here. It’s not about physical appearance, or creed, its simply about determination, skill and the ability of one to master their craft. Now there have been plenty of nay sayers and haters out there. Many of them within the WNBA establishment itself. Many of them in the old guard of that organization. Who dare to look at this phenomena and dismiss it in the most disrespectful of manners.

For once we see the WNBA finally becoming something that can be marketable for the mainstream. Its actually finally becoming a quality product. After decades of poor play, missed shots and airballs, there is now a new generation of WNBA players who are taking the game to new heights. The play that you see on the court is not just mesmerizing, its revolutionary and its bringing a whole new generation of fans to the game. I must admit, I never thought I would enjoy WNBA basketball as much as this.

In years past I only knew the WNBA from brief clips on ESPN and glimpses of female athletes who were built like men (enter Griner Joke here) running an and down the court an missing point black slam dunks. That type of league is not the type of league that can draw fans. Yes there have been those out there who have tried to guilt people into liking that type of stuff. And it is totally pointless because no one wants to see that type of stuff. It doesn’t matter how much you guilt someone into liking it. It’s not gonna help. You can’t force people to like something that they don’t want to see. And that is what the world is starting to realize now.

Enter Caitlyn Clark NCAA Di all time leading scorer, NCAA Di single season 3 point record holder, 2x player of the year 2023,2024, 2x Naismith college player of the year 2023.2024, 3x Nancy Lieberman award (2022,2023,2024) 3x big ten player of the year (2022-2024) WBCA co freshmen of the year 2021, and also first WNBA rookie to have a triple double.

These accolades and stats speak for themselves. They tell a story of an athlete who is truly capable accomplished and determined, as well as someone who is a class act. And the best that the WNBA can do is throw shade. Snubbing her for the women’s Olympic basketball team? This is the WNBA establishment at work. And excuse was made that having veteran players on the team was better for the overall cohesiveness of the team. But the fans and anyone watching this phenomenon can clearly see that this decision was wrong. Here on his blog we will continue to monitor Caitlyn Clarks career progression an provide commentary as she is an athlete that deserves the adherence and garners it on her own. Just like I found Jeremy Lin intriguing back in the day so too do I find the young career of Caitlyn Clark.

Stay tuned for further commentary and thanks for reading……..
