Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are on a 6-1 run, with Clark seemingly running
away with the Rookie of the Year award. Colin Cowherd and Nick Wright ask if the WNBA is doing enough to support Clark’s rising stardom.

Caitlin Clark has made a believer out of everyone in her first WNBA season with the Indiana Fever – even the fiercest Angel Reese supporters have been turned into believers.
Shaquille O’Neal, who has a great relationship with Reese, had high praise for Clark. The Basketball Hall of Famer called Clark the “real deal” in an interview with USA Today after watching the Fever top the Chicago Sky late last month.

“When I see stuff on TV I’m like, OK, I’d like to see it in person. Well, I saw it in person,” the Los Angeles Lakers legend said. “She can play … from a basketball standpoint, she makes all the right plays, gets everybody involved, and she has that Steph Curry range.”
Clark and Reese will be tied together for the remainder of their careers, going back to the 2022-23 national championship between lowa and LSU. The two met again earlier in the women’s basketball tournament and then again a handful of times this season. Each matchup drew similar ratings.
O’Neal told the outlet those two players will be tied together.
