NBA standout Lou Williams still thinks A'ja Wilson is the WNBA's face, despite Caitlin Clark's success.
When it comes to assessing who the face of the WNBA is, there are really only two players that a logical argument can be made for.
The arguments for each player are clear. For Wilson, she was the 2024 WNBA MVP, has won WNBA MVP in three of the past five seasons, won two WNBA Championships, andTherefore, the Wilson vs. Clark argument for the WNBA's face comes down to whether you value skill or superstardom .on Thursday by saying, "I still think belongs to A'ja Wilson," when asked whether Clark is the face of the WNBA.
"A'ja has done a tremendous job of being a champion, being an MVP, doing all of these things. And now her visibility has gone up. You're starting to see her in commercials," he continued. "I still feel like it's A'ja Wilson, but you give Caitlin Clark credit. What she has been able to accomplish in her rookie year, and the eyes she has brought to the WNBA."
He later added of some Clark fans, "I think some of these people are here for the wrong reasons and I don't think they stay around to see the tremendous career that she's gonna put together. Is she the absolute face of the WNBA? She's one of them, for sure... but I think that still belongs to A'ja Wilson."
