I'd never heard of Reese until she ran her mouth to Clark. That's her big claim to fame. I didn't know who Caitlin Clark was until this thread and then heard a bunch more about her in the media.
Iowa/Clark has the top 3 most viewed WNCAA games in history. They also have the 6th highest viewed game in history. LSU and Reese have the 3rd and 6th highest rated games, but it's only because they played Clark. Without Clark women's college basketball is the same boring crap it always is. Clark has eyes on the WNBA. If Clark wasn't around and it was Reese as the biggest WNBA rookie, then people still wouldn't care. Clark has done more for those girls than anyone and they're gonna talk shit about her. Hell Reese doesn't get near the amount of money for endorsements if Clark doesn't exist.
