  • Bueckers v. Clark - doesn’t add up

    Hi Cari,

    I’m a big fan of the show—thank you for creating such thoughtful content, especially around women’s sports.

    I have a question I’d love for you to explore:

    Why is it that Caitlin Clark overshadows Paige Bueckers? Paige’s stats are better in the wnba and she won a high school and college championship compared to Caitlin who has won neither. Is it only the Angel Reese rivalry or is there something else?🧐

    Thanks again for your time and for all the value you share!

    Cari champion is a Queen. Not only are her podcasts/interviews intriguing, but she often has to set the record straight on cnn. Cari speaks so professionally, when I would be rolling my eyes and getting hot about some of the statements others are saying to her on tv. Top journalist moves
