Her talent has lead her this far and she is the new face of the sport. But that pales in comparison to Clark getting a 25m dollar deal with Nike. Juju has to prove she's worth the hype no doubt. But if she does will she get her rewards? That is the ultimate question.

Clark already breaking records in her first game. Most turnovers in a debut in WNBA history with 10. She was 2-10 with 8 turnovers when being guarded by her primary defender. Gonna be a long season for her to adjust to this level I’m guessing.

She’s going to be just fine.

I think most of us would jump at the opportunity to experience a life like hers at such a young age. I'm glad she's living her dreams and is going to be able to provide for her family for generations to come, simply off of her success over the last ten years. A version of the American dream only few get to achieve.

Yeah, I mean jokic is a 3 time nba. SGA is incredibly exciting on the court.They dont have a fraction of stephs star power. Lots and lots of great players of all colors are less marketable for different reasons. Taurasi, sue bird and Breanna Stewart are the best white players in the game and don't have nearly the star power of Clark. The fact is that Clark has popped in ways that decades of black and white women's bball players have not.

LOL Jocic is Serbian and Serbs are notorious. It's as easy to get punched in the face in Belgrade as it is anywhere in the US. There's a Serbian BigBrother show where it's just people back-handing and punching one another all day (sort of funny). Jokic's brothers exhibit normal behavior. So I'm not surprised that this Euro isn't a corporate draw.

There will be an adjustment period with a new team, but the "best college player in history" should have little trouble adjusting to the WNBA, considering rookies have stellar seasons in the NBA.

Well, I mean she's literally had just 1 month to prepare and even less time to officially practice with her team. So there's that.

Like I said, there will be an adjustment period, but she's supposedly the best college player ever. She should be dominant in short order.

Most sports give a player full offseason to learn the playbook, build chemistry with teammates, especially for someone who plays like a quarterback. Let alone someone who plays for the worst team in the league and absorbs double teams with an assigned defensive assasin on her.

I guess people have completely forgotten how many hot takes there were in Steph Curry's rookie year about how he can't do it with the big boys



how did that turn out

UChieffyBugger 05-16-2024 08:30 PM

Clark had another stinker tonight as her team got blown out by 36 points and Clark only had nine points off eight shots. She was off the ball much more than in game one and she seemed a little frustrated. The way it's looking right now Indiana are in for a long season and may be in play for their third number one pick in three years.

Y'all following the WNBA? Pound grass seriously
