Changing the arguments. Miller was a better player. Wilson is a better player. Who cares?
But Caitlin Clark is doing things no one has ever done in the history of the WNBA.
Sue Bird is a better player. She is a top 10 all timer. No one cared about her. She didn’t get the hype CC has received.
The best players in the wnba couldn’t sniff a men’s college team. It’s just the reality. So why go to watch the “best players” when the local high school team would probably beat them?
People want interesting. And CC is interesting because she can shoot from anywhere. She is a threat to score once she crosses half court. Even if she isn’t the best player. She is doing things no one has ever done.
