Former Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade is bullish on the WNBA and looks for league's exponential growth
On Saturday, he discussed how he has enjoyed the recent boost in popularity, mainly because of the emergences of Caitlin Clark and Angle Reese. But Wade warned that this come with a price."This league now is up there on a pedestal," Wade said. "It's a lot of darts coming at you...It's tough. A lot of them just wanna hoop and make good money and take care of their family.
After being an afterthought for most of its existence, the league is now drawing major media attention and became a hot topic for fans. This is the most exposure the WNBA has ever received but they are in the spotlight for the positive and negative. The league has been under fire all season for the players treatment of Clark, who some think are bullying her because of jealousy. There is also the notion of Clark being used as a political pawn because she is a white player in a black dominated sport. Sexual orientation has also been a talking point.
"It's a good thing because everybody is talking about the W," Wade said. "It's a bad thing because you're getting a chance to be exposed and a little bit more, the people in the W to the world and how nasty it is."PublishedScott Salomon joined FanNation on Sports Illustrated in April 2024 covering breaking news and analysis for the Miami Dolphins channel.
