Following the announcement of Indiana Fever standout Caitlin Clark’s upcoming footwear agreement with Nike, it sparked varied reactions among both admirers and detractors of the ex-Iowa Hawkeyes sensation.
Many supporters of Caitlin Clark took aim at Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson after she posted a Bible scripture, “Psalm 37:7,” on X in the wake of Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium stating Caitlin Clark’s deal, “I’m told it’s well beyond $10 million… I think it’s fair to say that it’s above $20 million. Now, how above? We’ll see when we get the final numbers, I’m not one to speculate.”

For those unaware, the bible scripture contains a message about being patient amid the success of others.

One x user took to the site and accused the 2-time WNBA Champion of being jealous of Caitlin Clark, saying, “The jealousy in the WNBA is crazy !!!!!! Caitlin bout to bring a new level of viewership to your league, and you hating on her ???”


For those uninformed, biblical scripture emphasizes the virtue of patience in light of others’ achievements.

A particular user on the platform leveled accusations against the two-time WNBA Champion, alleging jealousy towards Caitlin Clark, stating, “The envy within the WNBA is astonishing! Caitlin is poised to elevate viewership in your league, and yet you’re resentful?”

In response, Wilson promptly addressed the critic, expressing her goodwill towards all and highlighting the arduous journey for success within the league.

Despite her remarkable accolades as a two-time WNBA champion, two-time MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, and five-time All-Star since her debut in 2018, Wilson surprisingly lacks a signature Nike shoe, a fact that raises eyebrows.

Even prior to her professional career, Wilson’s prominence burgeoned at South Carolina, where she clinched a championship and garnered accolades such as the Naismith Award and the 2017-18 National Player of the Year.

While the WNBA has observed growth in viewership and attendance in recent years, it pales in comparison to the potential impact Caitlin Clark could have on the league. Her recent NCAA Tournament performances shattered viewership records and are anticipated to replicate such success in the WNBA.

Every Current And Former WNBA Player Should Be Rooting For Caitlin Clark

She represents a significant force in the WNBA despite not having played a single second yet. Her triumphs benefit the entire league. Should she mirror the successes of Stephen Curry or LeBron James, it would revolutionize the perception of the WNBA, bolster financial influx, and amplify opportunities for female athletes in the future. This alone should inspire support from current and former players alike.
