Colin Cowherd’s critique
Fox Sports Radio host Colin Cowherd, on his show “The Herd,” criticized the WNBA’s handling of Clark.
“But it’s the other way around. Clark is more than ready. It’s women’s basketball that isn’t ready for her.”
He compared the situation to the NBA’s embrace of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird as rookies, suggesting the WNBA‘s reluctance to promote Clark reveals a deep-seated insecurity.
Clark‘s performance in the WNBA All-Star game demonstrated her readiness. She led her team to victory over the U.S. Olympic squad, dishing out 10 assists and proving herself as the game’s best playmaker. In seven of her last eight games, she has recorded double-digit assists-an impressive feat for any player, especially a rookie.
