Candace Parker, a WNBA legend, has come to the defense of Caitlin Clark after Clark was voted the 11th-best guard in the league by her peers. Parker believes that Clark’s ranking is a result of jealousy and insecurity among other players.

Clark’s Impact on the WNBA

Clark has been a key player in the WNBA, leading her team, the Fever, to several victories. Her popularity and appeal have also helped to increase attendance and viewership for the league. Despite this, some players have expressed resentment towards Clark, which Parker believes is unfair.

Parker stated that the league should give Clark the respect she deserves, saying, ‘It’s also kinda crazy. I wholeheartedly believe that there need to be some rules with the WNBA players, because this is getting out of hand. Caitlin Clark [being] voted 11th-best guard by WNBA players, that’s crazy.’ Parker also suggested that players who voted against Clark should reflect on their own insecurities and consider seeking therapy.
