LeBron James gives say about Caitlin Clark’s exclusion from the

Caitlin Clark’s exclusion from the U.S. Olympic basketball team has sparked significant reactions from several NBA and WNBA legends.

Caitlin Clark, the No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft and the highest-scoring player in NCAA Division I women’s basketball history, was noticeably absent from the U.S. women’s Olympic roster officially announced for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Several analysts and Clark’s fans have criticized the decision, suggesting that factors beyond her control may have influenced it. These factors include her inability to attend the Olympic trials due to her commitments with Iowa during the NCAA tournament, and some unfortunate individuals who play on race because she is white.

There’s been speculation that the Iowa star gets a lot of attention from the media because of her race, while other big predominant players have never gotten the attention she is garnishing now.

The weirdest comment comes from USA Today’s columnist, Dan Wolken. The writer questioned Clark’s exclusion from the team, arguing that the best players aren’t always on the team. Exhibit A LeBron James will be on the team, but for Wolken, he isn’t one of the best players in the league, yet he has earned his spot on the team for what he represents. Undoubtedly, this situation parallels what Clark is currently experiencing.
