(#5609255) Re: US Women's Olympic Basketball and Caitlin Clark

I think it's fine. They don't have any other rookies on there and she's already had the biggest year of her life. She's better off with the time off. In four years, she'll be the captain of the team and the undisputed best women's basketball player in the world. She played an entire season of Div 1 college basketball and then went into the pros a month later. That's crazy. Male athletes don't go from college to pros that fast in any sport. And there's all these unfair expectations on her to be the female Michael Jordan every single game and she's just a rookie on a really bad team. Nobody put Wembenyama under the same pressure when the Spurs stunk all season. It wasn't like be Wilt Chamberlain every single game or you're a failure. Everybody knows he's going to be really special when he develops more and has much better players around him. That's going to be true for her too. And just like he showed all these glimpses of the future, so has she. It's coming. It doesn't all have to be now.
