If there is anyone who is single-handedly pushing women’s basketball to the forefront, it has to be Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark, whose on-court swagger and off-court humble but jovial nature have been a hit with fans.
The result of that fame has seen the WNBA grow exponentially over the past two years to a point where franchise values have soared into the hundreds of millions.
Other leagues also wanted a piece of the pie. The first instance was when Ice Cube‘s BIG 3 offered the Iowa native $5 million along with team equity and merchandise sales revenue share to play in his league.
She declined, as the league’s schedule directly conflicts with the WNBA. Upstart Unrivaled, who play in the offseason, sensed an opportunity and offered her a deal worth millions.
However, she declined the offer, as her focus was on rest, recovery, and developmental work ahead of her 2nd WNBA season. Now, another league has come to the fore, which has managed to sign a couple of Clark’s teammates.
This is a whole new one. This one offers lots and lots and lots of money, and that’s why people are moving toward this… There’s going to be a lot of people switching over… I tried to get her (Caitlin Clark) to like play in this one, she’s like, ‘Noooo.’
