I'm going to explain why. Jordan brought more eyes to the game than ever before. Worldwide. He was a god in Barcelona. Air Jordans took off. Fast-forward, every star player has a shoe deal. They are making more money than ever before because of Jordan, and then because of Kobe after him and then LeBron..
Every once in a while someone comes along and changes the game. That COULD be what Clark is doing for the women's game, I don't know.. it could be.
When the game gets bigger what happens? When the sport grows what happens? It's great for everyone. So in the moment, the LSU players feel slighted, they don't wanna talk about Caitlin Clark and I get that, they just won the title... who cares about the losing player, but the bigger picture is that the sport is growing.
