“We have a lot of bad-asses in our league, like hell yeah to that, I’m all for that. But when people try to argue that she’s not the face of our league, or that our league would be where we’re at without her, you’re dumb as s***," Cunningham declared. Before adding, "You’re literally dumb as f***.”

While the vast majority do seem on board with Clark as the face representing the W, there is debate among mainly three others––Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson, Minnesota Lynx––and current MVP frontrunner ––Napheesa Collier, and the Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese.

But the first person who comes to mind when most people think of the WNBA is Caitlin Clark––and that is reflected in the revenue, viewership, and overarching impact she’s made on the WNBA and women's sports as a whole.
Cunningham is not afraid to tell it like it is, and often faces backlash for it. But it’s this and her unapologetic stance that exude a relatability that has propelled her into becoming a big fan favorite.
