Caitlin Clark's fame extends even to former basketball players. A recent statement of hers elicited a comment from Eddie Johnson, who played for 17 seasons (1981-99) in the NBA.
Clark's powerful statement advocated more exposure and practices to uplift black women in the WNBA. She said it is imperative to appreciate, highlight, and talk about the outstanding black players in the WNBA that helped the league. Per Clark, it would be beautiful if these players were elevated.
“I want to say I’ve earned every single thing, but as a white person, there is privilege. A lot of those players in the league that have been really good have been Black players. This league has kind of been built on them," Clark said.
