Caitlin Clark is a Phenom. I just hope she is given the chance to shine like she did at Iowa. But from the talk of some of the Vets in the WNBA Caitlin is coming in with a target on her back. Iron sharpens Iron and Caitlin thrives on that BUT there is healthy rivalries and there is bullying. Hopeful the Vets will curb their bullying.

She might be the best commissioner to wnba.

It was such a great game. Congratulations to S. Carolina! ❤

This commissioner is right rivalries sell. Sabrina in New York and Caitlin in Indiana will be an awesome match up although they might not guard each other.

The Team that drafts Caitlyn Clark will be the most popular Team

nobody cares about wnba its all about clark people love this girl

[wisethabrain]

This is gonna go flat real quick if they don’t lower the rim

She may be a good comish. But she sure has the CEO speak down pat.

Face it people; The growth in enthusiasm to women’s BB is all about how phenomenally high Clark draws audience, joy, and money. I can imagine that veteran fud duds or those under threat might be ready to demean her and artificially promote the others who would not draw as much audience and money because their play is dour and self-centered

[AyoJerz]

Any player hating on Caitlin don’t like money

[naswiipp]

How can a league that has generated zero profits for its entire existance be even thinking about adding more cost?

[malebovinemanure]

What she won't say is that the high-ticket sales, and the higher cost of tickets, are all because of Caitlin Clark. Hell, The Las Vegas Aces moved their game against the Indiana fever to a bigger arena just because of Clark. And she was the one that announced that 36 of the Indiana Fever's games would be telecast on major networks. Jesus. Just admit Caitlin is the reason. I wish Caitlin would just tell them all to bite her and go overseas to play because she will be appreciated there.

I hope the 35 plus ladies should retire and give way to the fresh crop of ladies basketball players coming in from College. Only then will this momentous time be impactful.

A little too soft spoken to be Commissioner. Need a big personality at this point. They should get someone like cheryl miller or another bball vet to take this position
