Caitlin Clark’s impact on the WNBA has been a major topic of discussion. Prominent figures like Charles Barkley and LeBron James have weighed in on her influence on the league. Recently, WNBA star Alysha Clark shared her perspective on the situation.

Alysha Clark’s Take

 

When asked about the conversation surrounding Caitlin Clark, Alysha Clark didn’t hold back. “You have people who have never spoken to a single player in this league making assumptions and creating storylines in their heads. I don’t pay any mind to it,” she stated.

Alysha emphasized the competitive nature of the WNBA and how veterans challenge every rookie. “This is a grown women’s league, and it’s the best league in the world for a reason. It doesn’t matter who you are as a rookie,” she said, recalling her own experience as a 25-year-old rookie facing tough competition from veterans like DeLisha Milton-Jones. Alysha’s stance is clear: the external noise from commentators who haven’t engaged with the players is irrelevant.
