Caitlin Clark, the new star of the WNBA, ain’t sweatin’ the pressure to make women’s basketball the next big thing. This baller from the Indiana Fever, who just got snatched up as the top pick in the draft, is cool as a cucumber about the whole thing.

When asked about all the buzz around her and whether she’s feelin’ the heat to “carry” women’s basketball on her shoulders, Clark brushed it off. She’s like, “Nah, it’s happenin’ naturally, yo.” She’s all about the organic growth of the game. She knows the more TV time and the expansion of the league are already doin’ their thing to boost its popularity.
Clark is all about keepin’ it real and givin’ props to the WNBA, talkin’ about how competitive it is ’cause there are only 12 teams and not a ton of spots. She’s droppin’ dimes and sayin’ that more teams means more competition.
And get this, y’all. Clark’s not in it for the fame or the money. She’s been lovin’ basketball since she was knee-high to a grasshopper, and she never even dreamed it would blow up like this. This is just a cherry on top for her.
Now, hold up. President Joe Biden’s throwin’ shade, talkin’ ’bout how female athletes aren’t gettin’ their fair share. He’s sayin’ it’s time for these ladies to get the big bucks they deserve. But let’s be real here. Clark’s already livin’ the dream with a fat four-year contract worth over 300 grand and sponsors comin’ out of the woodwork to sign her up.
This chick’s not messin’ around. She led her college team to the Final Four two years in a row and even took ’em to the national championship games. She’s the real deal, and she’s here to ball, not to worry about carryin’ the weight of the whole dang league. Keep doin’ your thing, Caitlin Clark. We’re rootin’ for ya.
