WNBA Legend Lisa Leslie Defends Caitlin Clark After Record-Breaking Performance
WNBA rookie sensation Caitlin Clark continues to dominate the league, and her recent performance in the Indiana Fever’s 110-109 victory over the Dallas Wings on Sunday, September 15, was no exception. The 22-year-old broke yet another WNBA record, setting a new mark for the most points by a rookie in a single season with 761 and counting. Clark dropped a career-high 35 points, hitting 12 of 21 shots, including six three-pointers, along with two rebounds, eight assists, and three steals.
After this incredible performance, social media buzzed with praise for the rookie star. ESPN, among other outlets, gave Clark a special shout-out, with the post gaining thousands of likes and comments. However, one comment that stood out came from WNBA legend and Hall of Famer Lisa Leslie, who has been a longtime supporter of Clark.
Leslie took the opportunity to defend Clark against critics who doubted her ability to adjust to the professional league. In the comments section, Leslie wrote, “Now I’m just laughing at all the folks who thought it was going to take her some time to adjust. I told y’all.” Leslie, a three-time WNBA MVP, didn’t hold back in her “I told you so” moment, proudly standing by Clark’s acco
Caitlin Clark has proven in her short WNBA career that she is the real deal, and Leslie’s words serve as a powerful reminder to those who underestimated the young star. With records shattered and critics silenced, anyone still doubting Clark’s abilities will have to face Leslie’s blunt message.
