Candace Parker calls out WNBA players over Caitlin Clark All-Star voting results: 'Go to a therapist'

It should be pointed out that nobody actually voted Clark as the 11th-best guard.

It was a ranking-best vote and Clark simply received the 11th-most votes, but that doesn't really change Parker's overall point. That's too low for a player of Clark's standing, ability and production.

Clark is averaging a career-best 21.2 points per game, while also shooting at a career-high 43% from the floor and cutting her turnovers down to a career-low (4.6 per game). Overall, she is the third-leading scorer in the league, trailing only Las Vegas Aces star A'Ja Wilson and Clark's teammate Kelsey Mitchell. 

Clark is one of the league's best players and biggest stars, but it's not an unreasonable take to say she's not yet the best player in the league, or even its biggest star. Wilson, for the record, still has a claim to that title as a multiple-time champion and four-time league MVP. She might not make the most headlines on a national level, but WNBA fans know she's currently the player that everybody else is measured by for individual and team success. 

It might not even be unreasonable to say Clark's not an All-Star this season when taking into account all-around play. 

But 11th place among guards seems to be taking it a little further than that. Perhaps a little too far. In Parker's view, there's a deeper layer to this than just basketball. That always seems to be the case anytime Clark is involved.
