    Clark being left off the Olympic team would be the dumbest thing ever. Give the people what they want. This will become a huge story if she is left off.

    yeah Clark is really popular now

    a line and wnba are usually not two words that are associated with each other

    this is at the opposing teams arena

    She equaled a WNBA rookie record with seven 3-pointers for the Fever in front of the largest WNBA crowd in 17 years of 20,333 in Washington, D.C.


    This is the attendance for the rockets last game vs Orlando

    What about the rest of the league?

    What about Angel Reese Is she suddenly filling the seats?

    Or is it just Clark .... while the rest of the league continues to do what they have always done?

    I totally agree with you

    it’s just Clark

    and the WNBA is so dumb that they aren’t marketing the crap out of her

    this is like if David stern didn’t market MJ.
    He was smart as hell. So the NBA today is because David Stern knew how to market its stars

    look at the videos of the new fans , a bunch of little white girls
    You know how Taylor swift got popular?

    I actually caught a little bit of the game yesterday, not gonna lie I only knew who Clark was but I tuned in.... No I didn't watch the whole game but Clark is legit, she is on a whole other level..... They should absolutely be marketing her, I'd tune in for another Clark game....

    Will Griner stand for the anthem during the Olympics? Clark is handling this well and hopefully she makes the trip.

    Stephen A Smith understands what the WNBA was before BC
    Before Clark

    these dumb chicks don’t get it. The reason why you don’t get paid like NBA players is that nobody was spending money on your product

    All of this for an unproven rookie..

    The girl has skills, but everyone needs to back off and let her grow...

    The fans, the media.. it's just crazy, they are putting so much pressure on her, it's going to hurt her and not help her.

    it's a special situation because the WNBA was terrible in ratings and attendance.

    David Stern turned around a horrible NBA which had games on tape delay when he started marketing Bird vs Magic after they left college
    the commissioner of the WNBA isn't David Stern apparently
