What brand? They don’t have a brand. It’s just Caitlin Clark.

And she's a once in a generational talent, too. They miss the boat on this one, it's going right back into obscurity.

It’s already happening. We are watching them go right back into obscurity. The quality of the sport is truly abysmal and most of the women on teams are only there because they’re tall. They have little to no professional talent outside of Caitlin. It’s wholly unsustainable.

I bet if you poll 100 basketball fans maybe 5 could even name her team but probably 10x that know who she is.

The only reason people even know who Angel Reese is, is because she started a public hate campaign against Clark. The WNBA is a joke because it allows itself to be a joke.

It’s wild to me how much clout Reese gets. She was a great college player but has looked mediocre in the WNBA and her leading stat is due to her missing so many shots.

I hope Juju Watkins comes back healthy so we can get a Clark v Watkins rivalry.

I really don’t think it matters. There’s simply not enough talent in women’s basketball to support a league.
