WNBA (DR)

Despite the controversies surrounding her person, Caitlin Clark is indeed revolutionizing the WNBA. Proof of this is the absolutely titanic evolution that the women’s league is experiencing, ahead of its All-Star Game…

It’s a fact that things aren’t perfect for Caitlin Clark right now. She’s shooting just 39% from the field and turning over nearly six balls per game, after all… but beyond that, the 2024 first pick is showing tremendous talent on the court and doing what she can to justify the hype surrounding her.

And while the Indiana Fever are only 9th in the standings, her efforts are already paying off on an individual level.

We just learned: Caitlin Clark will participate in the WNBA All-Star Game this year, just like her rival Angel Reese.

Highly publicized before their arrival in pro, they form the first duo of rookies to achieve such a feat.

But what completely hallucinated the Internet users was the number of votes submitted this year before the women’s all-star game. It’s day and night, compared to 2023…

The Crazy Numbers for WNBA All-Star Game Voting

This time last year, A’ja Wilson was leading the way among the stars with about 95,000 votes.

This season, CC is in the lead… with over 700,000 votes, or seven times!

While the 2024 draft class as a whole has generated a lot of hype around the WNBA, it’s clearly the point guard who crystallizes it the most.

Even Wilson now has 600,000 votes thanks to this development…

It’s actually absurd how many more people are following this discipline now.

So Clark has more votes than last year’s entire Top 5 combined…but she won’t be playing in the Olympics…

Whether you like her or not, Caitlin Clark has an undeniable impact on the WNBA’s notoriety. Angel Reese and others obviously contribute to it too, but it’s hard not to consider the Fever’s leader as the figurehead of this media explosion for women’s basketball. Especially with such numbers before the All-Star Game…
