Summary

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark's rise to stardom is one to be studied. The 23-year-old missed her first game since high school on Wednesday, and the team arguably suffered without her. Clark is currently the most recognizable player in the WNBA, and with that comes scrutiny on and off the court. Bonnie-Jill Laflin, the first and only female NBA scout earning five NBA championship rings as an executive for the Lakers, joins to discuss Caitlin Clark's career and the rise in popularity of the WNBA.  FollowKennedy on Twitter: ⁠⁠@KennedyNation⁠⁠   KennedyNow Available on YouTube: ⁠ ⁠https://link.chtbl.com/kennedyytp⁠ Follow on TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@kennedy_foxnews⁠  Join Kennedy for Happy Hour on Fridays! ⁠https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWlNiiSXX4BNUbXM5X8KkYbDepFgUIVZj Learn more about your ad choices.

hello and welcome to this episode of Kennedy Saves the World.

0:43.1

There's a lot of sports drama, and it doesn't really have to do with the Knicks and Pacers, although I think there are a lot of people in both cities who are happy to see that rivalry reignited.

0:56.5

But the most dramatic rivalry in sports, especially in basketball, is that between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.

1:04.0

And, you know, we thought when these two phenomenal athletes graduated from college that that might be it. But boy, have the WNBA

1:13.3

gods smiled on sports fans. And the Caitlin Clark effect continues to rock the league, which is

1:23.2

very exciting. You know, and if you only sort of beam in every once in a while for WNBA news,

1:31.1

there's never a shortage of drama. And Caitlin Clark is such an amazing player, but she's also

and they just want to pull the superstar down.

2:12.8

It doesn't look like it's going to happen, but Caitlin Clark is injured right now.

2:17.2

But I want to talk about

2:18.4

some of the drama surrounding the WNBA with Bonnie Jill Laughlin. She was the first and only

2:25.0

female NBA scout. And she's a bestselling author and also does a lot of phenomenal work with

2:32.3

veterans, which I think is wonderful and amazing.
