Crucial Report:WNBA Players Don’t Like Caitlin Clark”: Internet Furious as 2 Legends Pick Paige Bueckers Over Iowa’s Star Player….👇👇
As much as Caitlin Clark’s performances have impressed everyone this season, her on-court antics have also divided opinion among fans. But this time around, the fans seem to have the Iowa star’s back after Sue Bird & Diana Taurasi, the celebrated WNBA names, overlooked her in favor of Paige Bueckers while answering a fan question.

Bird and Taurasi were doing the alternate broadcast “The Bird and Taurasi Show” featuring on ESPN during the NCAA’s Final Four. During the session, they picked a question from social media that read, “You have to build a WNBA team, who are you taking first; Paige or Caitlin?”
Answering the question, Bird held varying notions for the two emerging basketball stars. The former Seattle Storm player explained, “I think you have to take Caitlin for one reason because I think you can’t go wrong choosing either one. The fan energy behind Caitlin is gonna be a game-changer for the WNBA franchise. I think for that reason right now this year you have to take her. From a basketball standpoint, I can make an argument for Paige.” This was in contrast to Taurasi’s short and quick answer.
She said, “I’m taking Paige, next question.” Bird checked in to confirm her former teammates’ answer and asked, “So you get the number one pick this year, you’ll take Paige over Caitlin?”
Bird’s assertion on Caitlin’s influence wasn’t too far off the mark. The 22-year-old has stirred the crowd unlike anyone before her in the domain. The term, “The Clark Effect” has even taken off to back the notable rise in NCAA Final Four ticket prices or people lining up to catch a game at a ‘women’s sports only’ sports bar.
While Bueckers holds a recognizable wind of her own, the WNBA legends’ comparison, not touching upon Clark’s unparalleled feats on the court this season, including her record-breaking efforts, did not sit right with the audience.
