WNBA player Sophie Cunningham discusses Caitlin Clark’s effect on the league in a recent episode of her “No Hesitation” podcast, while also saying she does not want to “get in trouble” for stating what she views as an obvious point. Cunningham argues she should not face backlash for publicly crediting Clark with contributing to increased attention and attendance for the WNBA.
Cunningham’s remarks come alongside podcast discussion and media comparisons of Clark’s significance. Across coverage, the episode includes references to how Clark is viewed as changing the WNBA’s visibility, with additional comparisons linking her impact and style to major NBA figures. Yahoo Sports emphasizes that the WNBA already had strong talent and growth before Clark’s arrival, suggesting the league’s rise did not begin with her. Times of India highlights Cunningham’s agreement with specific “Jordan/Curry/Bird”-style analogies and her description of Clark’s personality off the court.
