When you succeed in any line of business, people will look up to you—even if you have no good reason. For the past few months, Caitlin Clark has been dealing with the same set of issues. A number of well-known figures have spoken out in favor of the former Iowa standout amid the unjustified animosity throughout this time.
The Warriors star and former Lakers player Derek Fisher discussed how current media coverage of Clark has been handled. This conversation took place on a recent episode of The Draymond Green Show. Fisher asserted that there is no denying that since the Fever rookie’s arrival, the league has reached unprecedented heights.
Regarding those who criticize her for this story, he thinks they are being unreasonable. He declared,
“It’s almost like people are trying to find reasons to dislike or attach it [the league’s popularity] to her, when in reality, she’s literally never said any of the stuff that other people have to say.”
Is Caitlin Clark’s alone responsible for WNBA’s success?
Derek Fisher believes Clark cannot take all credit for the league’s incredible ascent. Though they may not have achieved the same level of success as she has, players like Cameron Brink and Angel Reese have made significant contributions to the recent rise in popularity. Fisher admitted that the league’s commercial division has experienced an unparalleled upsurge since Clark’s arrival and that she deserves all credit for it.
He disagrees with the widely held belief, though, that athletes like Diana Taurasi and A’ja Wilson should be grateful that they are no longer required to travel commercial.
Interestingly, Clark has never said anything about this story, thus it has nothing to do with her at all. Fans created and carried out the story that has been shared on social media. Speaking of admirers, Clark has attracted a fresh group of WNBA watchers, including a number of well-known celebrities.
