She's definitely a shit starter and a shit talker but, from what I've gathered, she's masterful at it. She pushes the right buttons throughout the contest until she gets the ultimate reaction.
This is a major component of both her game and the resentment towards her. Nobody liked that kid in school, the manipulative teacher's pet who never seemed to get caught doing wrong but always managed to provoke others to the point of getting in trouble.
Granted, this isn't anything new - getting into your opponent's head to take them out of their game and make them do something uncharacteristic to their own detriment.
However, for Clark, this is compounded by all the hype, the unprecedented endorsement deals, royal treatment and a large segment of the media saying she's the savior (or the golden goose as somebidy labeled her earlier in the thread) of the WNBA and all the veteran players need to 'let her cook'.
Now, could Carter and/or other players simply be hating her because she's white and straight? Possibly but I'd say that notion is laughably absurd.
I think if any player holds resentment toward Clark it's for reasons I stated earlier. That's why demanding that the WNBA and it's veteran players wilt so that Clark can thrive is asking for an even bigger bullseye on her back.

BRILLIANT POST AND TOTALLY AGREE!!
But sadly if you have any other view about Clark other than "she's a God and everyone should bow to her", the morons will start crying and throw their dummies out their prams.
