Las Vegas Aces head coach Becky Hammon an A’ja Wilson defend Caitlin Clark
The narrative that claims that everyone in the league hates her is one far from the truth

Some NBA players have defended Caitlin Clark from what some have claimed is criticism of her. Others have said that people need to thank her for all the attention the WNBA has been getting lately as well as for all the benefits from advertising, endorsements, and other deals.
However, the WNBA players and coaches themselves believe that the whole narrative of people hating the number one overall pick is something that is not true and it only hurts the game.
Las Vegas Aces head coach, Becky Hammon was very clear on the matter, as she spoke on Friday, a day before their matchup against Clark’s Indiana Fever on Saturday night.
“We love Caitlin Clark,” Hammon said. “I think she’s amazing. I watch every time I possibly can. Our league loves her. We’re just doing our job. We’re gonna show up, whoever’s on the other team is on the other team, we don’t really care, we’re gonna show up and do us.”
Responding to the idea of people in the league not liking the young rising star and went to say that there is a lot of pressure on her after everything that has been put on her shoulders.
“This narrative of everybody hating on Caitlin Clark, and even the black and white thing, knock it off. It’s not there. It’s not there. So shut down the noise. And by the way, what is she, 22? She’s a 22-year-old woman with a lot of pressure. She’s not perfect, she’s a rookie in this league. Back off.”
The coach was not the only one to defend Caitlin Clark
After coach Hammons comments, A’ja Wilson also stepped up to the scene by saying that she’s “exhausted over the conversation” and can “only imagine” how Clark feels.
The rookie out of Iowa is averaging 17.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5.8 assists through her first five games as a pro, however she is only shooting 40.3% from the field and is also turning it over 5.8 times a night. A rough start but she has a bright future ahead of her
