The former WNBA star, Candace Parker, spoke of the physics star of Indiana Caitlin Clark with the fact that she entered the League with the sparks of Los Angeles.
Clark was involved in several remains during his first year in the WNBA. The number of incidents begged the question of whether it was targeted due to jealousy about the attention it received.

But Parker explained on the Podcast of Jemele Hill “Spolitics” that the difficult game of the WNBA was “part of the game”.
“When you are a generational talent, I say that in Dianna [Taurasi]Maya [Moore]Myself, Breanna Stewart, Cailtin Clark, Aja Wilson – You will experience physicity. The screening report is to stop you, largely to be physical, “said Parker.” Do you take some additional people from people? Yeah. Was I the recruit that happened and that the gunshots took me or the difficult faults? Without fail. That’s part of the game. “
Parker suggested that there was a more important problem on how the physicity of WNBA was received from a new television audience.
“I think the problem is now that it is a balance between society and the expectations of women in relation to what is necessary in sport,” she said. “And for so long, they were contradictory and that the women of society were supposed to be strong, but not too strong. I remember not wanting to increase by university, power cleaning, because I say to myself:” Oh my shoulders in the dress look a little muscular. “And now I am like you knew:” What am I a B —-, as who cares? “

“I think that these are different generations of players who are ready to solve the problems of society with women head on. Consequently, I think that now we see social media exploding and more followers want to follow women because we are so dynamic about what we can do on and off the ground.”
Clark and Angel Reese have developed a story of vegetables dating from the 2023 national championship between Iowa and LSU.
Their scenario was strongly compared to the Magic Johnson rivalry and Larry Bird cultivated in the NBA, which helped to increase the viewer for the League.
But Parker stopped unless you compare.
“I think it compares apples and oranges,” she said. “Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, is it like what we do? They like to do the magic and the comparison of the birds, well they played similar positions. They at least somehow equaled.

“I do not fall into it. I do not fall into the comparison and I think there are a number of things that Angel can improve, will improve in the situation in which she is. And I think that Caitlin Clark did it even in her first year … She makes her team better.”
