Dick Vitale is taking WNBA players to task for snubbing Caitlin Clark on their All-Star Game ballots … ripping their voting as nothing more than “PURE JEALOUSY.”
It was revealed on Monday that Clark was named just the ninth-best guard when it came to the players’ ASG vote … and it didn’t take long for Dickie V to go off on the league for the results.
“Absolutely PURE JEALOUSY,” he wrote on his X page. “Some day they will realize what she Has done for ALL of the players in the WNBA. Charted planes – increase in salaries-sold out crowds – improved TV Ratings.”
Despite the players’ vote, Clark will still suit up for the W’s big event on July 19 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis … as she dominated the other two parts of the voting that were required to get a spot in the game.
She finished first in the fan ranking and third in the media’s — giving her a weighted score of 3.5 … just a tick behind Paige Bueckers‘ league-leading 3.25. Clark will now actually be a captain for the event.
The Indiana star has not had the world’s greatest start to the year … she’s only played in nine of the Fever’s 16 games because of injury … and she’s shooting just 39 percent from the field.
But she is still averaging 18.2 points per game as well 5 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 1.6 steals per contest.
Clark almost certainly won’t address the latest issue — she’s done everything in her power to avoid the narrative that her league despises her — but Dickie V and other mainstays in the hoops world are making it crystal clear they’re fine with speaking out her behalf.
