[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tbh the negativity towards her is also racial in nature. Lots of black women hustling for low wages for years in the WNBA and then this young woman is elevated as a white savior despite never winning an NCAA championship. Sure she may be the leading scorer, but she can’t close the deal.

I see her as the female Kobe Bryant - tons of possession time, tons of points, lots of attention. But sometimes that comes at the detriment of the team.

Let’s see if she can become A Closer. Only Closers get rings. [/quote]

She broke multiple records as a college player, and at a school that made the final twice despite not having a roster of top recruits like other schools.

Her shooting range is like Steph Curry and her passing ability is like a Nikola Jokic. Of course she’s going to attract attention that some tall post player who mostly rebounds and shoots layups won’t attract.

The WNBA is mostly black women and/or lesbians who saw the league largely as their private club, so of course she generates resentment and a more-than-typical amount of initiation, but in the long run they will all adapt and it’s good for the game in the USA.  We’ve already watched the women’s soccer team slip into the second tier after years of dominance and the same thing could happen with women’s basketball in the USA absent sustained interest and attention.  Clark isn’t the only young player who’ll continue to attract talented young women to the game. So will Angel, A’ja, Sabrina and others. [/quote]
