Lisa Leslie appreciates Caitlin Clark for her influence on Women's Basketball

Caitlin Clark has seen a metoric rise in her popularity ever since her debut in the WNBA. However, she has also been on the receiving end of criticisms, which sometimes comes from her own peers playing in the league.

"We can’t deny what caitlin clark has done for the women’s game...have we ever had teams need larger arenas?...are we gonna get upset about 5, 6, 10 games less on tv?...we have access to these games now in a way that we’d never had before," Leslie said.
