WNBA owner left red-faced by wild stat after bizarre rant over Caitlin Clark’s Time magazine cover
Caitlin Clark has been honoured by Time magazine as their 'Athlete of the Year' following an incredible 2024 - but not everybody is happy about it."This year something clicked with the WNBA and it's because of the draft of the players that came in, it's not just"We have so much talent out there that has been unrecognised, I don't think we can just pin it on one player.
Johnson went on to suggest that 'singling out one player' can create 'hard feelings' within the league, and that work needs to be done to help elevate other talent.Within 24 hours, the post had been seen more than 3.4 million times, and was also 'community noted' by the platform. She was also named to the All-WNBA first team - becoming the first rookie to make it since 2008 - as she helped guide the Fever to the playoffs for the first time in eight years.Clark's maiden season also coincided with an unprecedented increase in coverage of the league, with viewership numbers consistently broken.
In fact, the game between the Mystics and Fever back in September was played in front of a crowd of 20,711 at Capital One Arena - the largest in WNBA history.
