To put it simply, Caitlin Clark is the face of the WNBA because she is the most prominent, marketable, and recognizable individual in the WNBA.
She is not currently the best player in the WNBA. That’s A’Ja Wilson.
The nuance that you are missing is that being the most popular player, recognizable player, biggest draw and bringing in the most money for the WNBA for 3 years now despite not winning a MVP or WNBA Championship, giving the players the ammo to get chartered flights with a new CBA that increased some players base salary by 1,400% and being the single player that globally other people recognize makes her the face of the WNBA.
To be the standard of winning in the WNBA will take Caitlin Clark some time.
Michael Jordan was the face of the NBA well before he was the standard of winning and before he ever won an NBA Championship or MVP because of his playing style and savvy branding.
Everyone knew if they beat MJ or had the game to their life against him that everyone would notice because all eyes were on him.
That is why teams play every game against the Indiana Fever like it is their Super Bowl.
That is why every player with a competitive bone in their body plays Caitlin Clark like they have something to prove to the world.
They know when they do it against Caitlin Clark, the world will notice.
Having the first 45 point 10 assists double double in WNBA History and the first 45 point 10 assists double double in 29 mins in NBA or WNBA History shows the talent and rare playing style Caitlin Clark possesses.
It’s okay to say that A’Ja Wilson is the best player in the WNBA.
It’s okay to say Olivia Miles is the best rookie and one of the best guards in the WNBA.
It’s okay to say that Angel Reese is the best rebounder in the WNBA.
And it’s okay to say that Caitlin Clark is the Face of the WNBA.
As governor, I’ll bring real accountability to the voucher program, fund our public schools, & invest in the basics that set kids up for success — like universal pre-K & making sure no child has to learn on an empty stomach. For the sake Iowa’s future generations, we can’t keep going down this path.
