When discussing the face of the WNBA, only two players stand out – Las Vegas Aces’ A’ja Wilson and Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark, the 2024 Time Athlete of the Year.
Wilson boasts multiple MVP titles, WNBA Championships, and scoring records, making her the best player in the league. On the other hand, Clark is undeniably the biggest superstar in the WNBA by all measures.
The debate between Wilson and Clark as the face of the WNBA boils down to whether you prioritize skill or superstardom, even though both players excel in both aspects.
Former NBA star Lou Williams expressed his opinion on the matter, firmly stating that A’ja Wilson still holds the title of the WNBA’s face.
Williams acknowledged Clark’s achievements but believes Wilson’s consistent success and visibility make her the true face of the league.
While Clark has garnered attention, Williams feels some fans may not fully appreciate her future contributions, reaffirming Wilson’s position as one of the WNBA’s faces.
Caitlin Clark is NOT the face of the WNBA despite being the league’s most viewed player in all 50 states 🤯
“That (title) still belongs to A’ja Wilson.” – Lou Williams
