Caitlin Clark is a really tricky name. It can be spelled differently and define character of the recent 17,000+ WNBA debut sellout and Indianapolis hurrah fans have clamored for since legendary quarterback and Omaha Productions concierge Peyton Manning. Clark is not a circus show.
Clark, in her debut, turned over the ball 10 times but subsequently was penalized with 9 points. To rewind, Clark netted single digits one time in Iowa college. And to rewind back further, she saw a crowd of 300+ only in her freshman year during the Covid-19 pandemic era.
Clark has come a long way towards earning less than $100,000 in the pros but Clark has proven to be a tremendous leader. She has handled herself in the best way possible during press conferences despite that eager desire to increase charter flight percentages, marketing, salaries, and the spectrum of Indiana.
Clark is not stopping. She and the Indiana Fever have the defending champ Las Vegas Aces approaching including the Seattle Storm. She struggled against former MVP Breanna Stewart recently and there are going to be moments Clark and even Sabrina Ionescu who failed to defeat Stephen Curry, learn from adversity.
The WNBA is a sizzling league right now. Ratings are increasing and fans are favorably immersed. The summer might be interesting but to Candace Parker. Sorry girl, the dog days are meant for picking up the measly pet’s mess.
