Following an extraordinary college career, Caitlin Clark has started to create a buzz in the WNBA due to her exceptional skills. After being selected by the Indiana Fever, Clark stunned the basketball community with her stellar skills on the court.

Clark finished fourth in MVP voting, was honored with the Rookie of the Year title, and brilliantly guided the Fever to the playoffs. Notably, she averaged an impressive 19.2 points and topped the league with 8.4 assists per game.

Clark gained a significant fan base during her debut season thanks to her impressive accomplishments. Her outstanding performances have received praise from fans, players, and analysts alike. In a recent episode of The Ringer podcast, host Bill Simmons noted that there is no question that Clark is more prominent than any NBA star under 30.

Simmons’ statement sparked a debate among basketball fans, who began sharing their opinions in the comment section of NBA Central on X (formerly Twitter). One fan commented, “She has 0 global brand for now. Awful take. Maybe one day, but not close at the moment.”

Meanwhile, another fan remarked, “Wemby? Ja? Ant? LaMelo? Shai? Booker? I can keep going like what are we doing man.”

Another fan mentioned, “She is bigger. The old heads Bron Durant Steph and Jimmy still run the league.”

A sports enthusiast commented, “This is an all time terrible take..what about Antman,Jayson Tatum,Luka ?”

Another fan mentioned, “She’s far more entertaining than any NBA player.”

A basketball enthusiast commented, “This is a crazy take. He must be doing it for the views.”

Another fan remarked, “Clark’s rise is incredible and she’s a household name, but saying she’s bigger than every NBA star under 30 might be overstating it.”

Chuck Klosterman Lauds Clark For Her Stellar Success

Clark finished fourth in the MVP voting and was awarded the Rookie of the Year title. She skillfully led the Fever to the playoffs, averaging an impressive 19.2 points per game and leading the league with 8.4 assists per game. Unfortunately, the Connecticut Sun eliminated the Fever in the first round of the playoffs.

As a result, NBA viewership dropped significantly since Clark was not present in the subsequent series. This indicates the stardom the Fever star has achieved in her debut season, which Chuck Klosterman recently praised in his discussion with Simmons.

“Her stardom, in a way, it has changed many conversations about sports. Especially women’s sports.” Klosterman said.

Clark has made a lasting impact on fans, players, and analysts, which will continue to grow over the years.
