Social media was on fire when it was revealed that Caitlin Clark received the ninth votes from the other stars of the WNBA for the higher guard.
There are three voting groups for the WNBA star process: the rank of fans, the row of the media and the rank of players for guards and players in the front area. While Clark was the first in fans votes (receiving more than a million and crushed his own record last year), and third among the media, his colleagues players of the WNBA ranked his ninth among the guards.

Clark has been injured and has had a hard time in recent times, going only 13 out of 47 in the territory of three points in its last three games and missing six of the 16 games of the Indiana Fever this season.
However, many social media users said it was more jealousy proof of the top scorer of all time in NCAA.
“They keep it as if it were a prime [Michael] Jordan, celebrate to try to hurt her and minimize his impact on all luck they can … The W is so full of elite levels and they don’t even hide it, “Kayce Smith of Barstool wrote on social networks.
“She is easily the best player in the league. These girls are laughable,” wrote another.
“What a funny league filled with small and jealous women. They hate her, but she alone is the reason why they all earn more money. A simple thanks would probably be a good start. What a clown show that this league is,” added another.
Robert Griffin III, who noted that the votes had been averaged, said: “It therefore means that some players voted by the top 15 so that it lands at No. 9”, and told players to “stop hating”.
“When Jordan, LeBron [James]Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Usain Bolt, Tom Brady and [Lionel] Messi came to the scene, not everyone liked them, but they recognized their greatness and respected him while rivaling their buttocks to stop them. They did not vote them at low prices, “wrote Griffin III in an extensive article.
