I have a strong feeling that Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese (among others) will make us all watch the WNBA.
Last season that would have been a laugh, but this year I’m here wondering if the WNBA is about to cash a crazy check…a crazy, crazy check.
Well, unless someone like Ice Cube or David Portnoy steals them (especially Caitlin Clarke).
Good times are ahead for women’s basketball…strange but true.
