Caitlin Clark is the biggest name in women's basketball and women's sports.
But is she a bigger star than other NBA stars?
Bill Simmons says so.
The media mogul asked if Clark is a greater “under 30” star than the NBA star who is yet to turn 30.

Those names include players like Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jayson Tatum and Anthony Edwards, to name a few. And these players are not considered the best under 30 years old. These players are widely regarded as the best players in the game, regardless of their age.
But two celebrities say that's not even an argument.
“Ten years ago, I literally didn't care about women's college basketball at all. So I think some things are moving forward, but just the quality of play is more fun to watch. It's like she's kind of a catalyst.'It's like before or after, and now we're after,'' Simmons said.
Chuck Klosterman added, “Her stardom, in some ways, has changed a lot of the conversations around sports, and I think that's especially true when it comes to women's sports.”

“Part of the reason is that it's now very difficult for men to become famous in the basketball world at the collegiate level. It still seems very relevant for women.”
Some of Clark's regular season games drew larger crowds than playoff games without her, and her matchup against Angel Reese drew the largest crowd in league history.

On top of that, NBA ratings are down, which wasn't the case before Clark turned pro.
