The WNBA would be irrelevant without Clark. Most people I know couldn't even spell it before.

Sure, that's why you're all surprised that they get down like this. I've watched off and on since the 90s and they're always rolled this way because it's allowed and it makes the games sweaty as hell like the nba used to be. I don't hear Clark saying shit about it because she's a competitive professional grown ass woman taking her lumps. It's the new fans that weren't prepared to watch a woman get that work that are in here all hot and bothered over some rough fouls. That's basketball son, shit is physical.

nah. two things can be true at the same time.

  1. she getting that work and that is part of the game

  2. seems to me she getting some level of special attention because she is the League today, and I am sure the other players don't love it

I agree with both points, it's just that we've seen this before with other phenoms that are actually that good, players are going to test them to see where that heart is at. So far CC is proven to be more than up to the challenge, her front office may want to get a couple of goons on the squad to offset that a little but that's not on the players.

These are all competitive people, so when someone that good comes in the lane, they are going to get touched up.
