- "The duty of Team USA is to put the best basketball players in the world. The primary factor in not putting Caitlin Clarke in the Olympics is experience"
- "Why would you want her there if what is going to dominate the conversation is why isn't Caitlin playing, and it would overshadow the event"


Stephen A Smith

- "It's not that you're wrong, it's that we don't care. Everything ya'll just said does not matter"
- "The Women's national team won 7 straight Gold medals. Like oh my god, are we really worried they are not going to get an 8th?"
- "Look at the 1992 Dream team. Christian Leatner was chosen ahead of Shaq and Alonzo Mourning. Do you know why?? Because he was a 2 time College player of the year, and he was WHITE. He had an extremely popular fanbase that he brought to the table. And Team USA didn't even need him"
- "WNBA needs the publicity. WNBA currently has a max salary of $250k a year. Then comes Caitlin Clarke comes along, attendance at the Indiana Fever went from 4,000 in attendance to 17,000. This girl is box office"
- "Team USA had an opportunity to globalize the WNBA brand, and fumbled the ball. It comprises your ultimate goal, which is to elevate the WNBA !!!"


WNBA players need to understand the bigger picture, that it is the entertainment business first, and it will always be first

They literally had to move a WNBA game into a bigger NBA arena to accommodate the larger Caitlin Clarke fanbase . Crazy

The USA Basketball Women's National Team Committee selects the players, not the WNBA

Caitlin and the W are fine with each other

Cool. Never complain about WNBA's low salary or lack of attention ever again then

I hate when her cult stresses how they want to grow the game etc. It's all bs, can't grow the game if they're watching ONE player
