Catlin Clark is the LeBron James or Michael Jordan of the WNBA. We’ve had stars in the WNBA before, but never a basketball superstar. Currently she plays for the Indiana Fever. She draws the fans with her dynamic passing and long distance shooting. Catlin is the real deal and will bring financial security to the future of the WNBA. Salaries will rise and so will attendance. Already attendance has shot up drastically wherever this star plays.
We see some jealousy and hate from fellow WNBA players. Many have struggled with the low salaries in the WNBA for years.
Well, all I can say is don’t feed the hatred, instead embrace the forward momentum for the WNBA. Salaries will increase for all players due to the Catlin Clark effect. Hopefully she is the first of many superstars to hit the league. The woman who play in this league deserve an audience. The players also deserve more money, as they have built the league from the ground up. When Catlin Clark attends a game in another city, the attendance goes through the roof. She is the superstar the WNBA needs. They’ve had WNBA stars in the past, now they have a superstar.
The WNBA has to embrace this superstar, promote her, help her get the endorsements she deserves. This generational player is the face of the WNBA, at least for the immediate future. She has the children and the young ladies attending matches were there had been empty seats. The men are also watching games. Television ratings spike with Catlin Clark on the TV. The WNBA should blast off over the next year if they promote Catlin in a correct manner. Prepare for takeoff with Catlin. It’s time for the league to run with the ball.
Portland and Toronto are going to be new franchises of the WNBA in 2026. Hopefully some young superstars can be drafted by those cities who are in Catlin’s league.
