LATEST NEWS: Colin Cowherd Blasts statement about Caitlin Clark makes the online community feel excited

“She’s Ready, They’re Not!”: Colin Cowherd Blasts WNBA for Caitlin Clark Fiasco
Caitlin Clark is the first rookie in league history to achieve a triple-double in the WNBA. The former Iowa star has transitioned seamlessly to the professional level. She is pacing the league in assists while recently setting a new single-game record with 19 assists. Her outstanding performance has sparked controversy and criticism regarding how the WNBA has handled their new phenom.

Playing for the WNBA All-Star team, Clark helped orchestrate a 117-109 win over the USA women’s Olympic squad. She had 10 assists, one shy of Sue Bird’s All-Star record, with pinpoint passing that was key to teammate Arike Ogunbowale’s record-breaking 34-point performance. This display on one of basketball’s grandest stages begs the question: How could Clark not be suiting up for Team USA in the Paris Olympics?

Fox Sports Radio host Colin Cowherd, on his show “The Herd,” expressed his frustration with the WNBA’s handling of Clark. He labelled league leadership as myopic and exclusionary, claiming they’re unprepared for Clark’s transcendence. “Women’s basketball keeps saying Caitlin Clark isn’t ready,” Cowherd fumed. “But it’s the other way around. Clark is more than ready. It’s women’s basketball that isn’t ready for her.” He drew unflattering comparisons to the NBA’s embrace of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird as rookies, suggesting the WNBA’s reluctance to promote Clark reveals a deep-seated ‘insecurity’.

The radio host used Clark’s performance in the recent WNBA All-Star game as proof without contradiction of her readiness. Clark helped lead her team to victory over the U.S. Olympic squad, dishing out 10 assists, and proving herself as the game’s best playmaker. Cowherd highlighted Clark’s consistent excellence: in seven of her last eight games, she has recorded double-digit assists—an achievement remarkable for any player, especially a rookie.
