Jemele Hill has spoken.
The former ESPN host, now the face of her own YouTube show Spolitics, says that when it comes to who best represents the WNBA, her money is on four-time MVP A’ja Wilson.
She was responding to pundit Robert Griffin III, who posted after Clark’s recent 45-point/10 assist game, the first stat line of its kind in WNBA history.
“She just had a 45 POINT 10 ASSISTS DOUBLE DOUBLE with 4 steals, 2 blocks and 2 rebounds,” he posted on X.
“Shot 11/18 from the field and 6/10 from 3 point range in 29 minutes with a +16 +/-. Other players have scored more points this year and in years pasts, but most of all, IT WAS EXCITING. That’s why the fans love watching her play. Her style is just different than what they are used to seeing.
“Caitlin Clark is UNDOUBTEDLY the most popular player in the WNBA.”
Hill says that’s the wrong criteria to consider when it comes to Clark. Wilson, 29, is a three-time WNBA champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist and the league’s first four-time MVP. She also won an NCAA championship with the South Carolina Gamecocks.
Hill acknowledged that Clark is the most popular player in the league to the point that every one of the Indiana Fever’s games will be broadcast this season, even though the Las Vegas Aces are the current league champions.
