This is a great point, and I meant to mention Plum earlier, but forgot. Perfect example of it being about her skill set and looking like the GOAT female basketball player. She's must see TV, and there's just never been a single female basketball player that you can say that about before her. |

Wonder how much NIL has played a factor as well.

I just don't see how you can make that argument after seeing MJ and Lebron's popularity being black male basketball players. They couldn't possibly be any more popular. |

And people want to act like Angel Reece isn't also some household name. I guarantee you Caitlin Clark is #1 and Reece is #2 for all of women's basketball.

The only reason anyone even knows Reece's name is because of Caitlin Clark. If she didn't play the same time period as Caitlin Clark, then no one would give a shit about her. Clark has done more for women's basketball than any person in existence.

I mean clark is way more marketable and lots of people piggyback off her success. But Reese was building a big following before she ran into clark. She was the top nil athlete in 2023, not clark. This season clark exploded and is now untouchable. But angel would have still had a decent following by womens bball standards with or without clark. That’s not the best example.

People started watching Clark because she routinely sinks Steph Curry threes.
But it's the assists that are most impressive and if her teammates could regularly make layups her assist record would be untouchable. |

I agree. She isn't a one trick pony. Sort of a Magic/Curry combo player.

Well we're gonna see if race isn't a factor by how folks treat Juju Watlins. Because imo she's a superstar and a better allround talent than Clark. Also the young phenom Kaleena Smith already has those logo threes in her bag aswell as being able to score on all three levels so again we'll see how she is treated aswell because both of them are generational players imo.
