Rachel DeMita JUST OBLITERATED WNBA For Caitlin Clark MVP SNUB!
The WNBA’s MVP debate just ignited a firestorm—and at the center of it all is rookie phenom Caitlin Clark. With her historic season, explosive stats, and undeniable impact on the game, many fans assumed she was a lock for MVP consideration. But when the 2024 MVP ladder was released—listing Asia Wilson, Nneka Ogwumike, Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart, and Alyssa Thomas, with Caitlin Clark barely earning an honorable mention—the outrage was instant.
A Rookie, Revolutionizing the League
Clark’s numbers speak for themselves. Averaging over 25 points per game since the All-Star break, leading the league in total points generated (a combination of points scored and assisted), more steals, more threes, and better assist numbers than most of the women ranked above her—yet still not in the top five?
Rachel demanded answers.”How are we supposed to evaluate MVP if we ignore value? What she’s doing for the Fever—and for the league—is unprecedented.”
Indeed, the Indiana Fever had the worst record in the league last year. Now, under Clark’s leadership, they sit at 14-6 since the break, making a serious playoff push. She’s elevated not only her team, but the entire WNBA, breaking viewership records, selling out arenas, and becoming the most talked-about name in women’s sports.
And yet, she’s still being labeled “just a rookie.”
Rachel’s Argument: It’s About VALUE
Rachel invoked comparisons to Michael Jordan—not in terms of raw athleticism, but in impact.“MJ was the MVP every year because of what he meant to the league,” she argued. “That’s what Caitlin is doing now.”
Rachel’s frustration wasn’t just about Clark being overlooked. It was about what this pattern of exclusion says about the league.”It’s like the WNBA is afraid to praise the ‘golden child’ too much,” she said. “But that fear is going to cost them.”
She pointed out how Candace Parker won both Rookie of the Year and MVP in 2008 with lesser stats in several key areas. Clark is surpassing Parker in assists, steals, and three-point shooting—yet Parker was crowned, and Clark is sidelined.
A Bigger Problem
Rachel’s passion uncovered a deeper issue: Is the MVP award about being the best player on the best team? Or the most valuable player in the league?
If it’s about impact, Clark deserves serious consideration. Not only is she statistically dominant, she’s revitalizing fan interest. Television ratings have soared. Ticket sales have surged. The WNBA is experiencing an unprecedented cultural boom—and Clark is at the center of it.
Yet, the narrative seems to penalize her for it.
Rachel warns this could send the wrong message to future stars:“If we keep telling young girls that even dominance won’t get you recognition, what incentive do they have to join this league?”
The Call for Reform
As her commentary gains momentum, fans and analysts alike are joining the chorus: It’s time to rethink the MVP process. A system that rewards legacy names over true value does a disservice to the sport.
Rachel proposes a more holistic evaluation—balancing stats, impact, leadership, and growth. Clark’s case checks every box. If she’s not in the top three, something is broken.“You don’t have to crown her the MVP,” Rachel said. “But if she’s not even on the ballot, we’ve got a problem.”
And the WNBA may be listening. Public pressure is mounting. Media coverage is exploding. And Clark continues to perform—unshaken, poised, and as dangerous on the court as ever.
What Happens Next?
The MVP award isn’t just a trophy—it’s a statement. About who the league values. About the direction of the sport. And about whether young generational talent like Caitlin Clark will be celebrated or suppressed.
Rachel DeMita has thrown down the gauntlet. Now, the WNBA must respond.
Because this isn’t just about one snub—it’s about the future of women’s basketball.
