Paul George Doesn't Hold Back on Caitlin Clark’s Trash Talk

George also spoke about how Clark was basically handed the face of the WNBA and "there's going to be girls that think she's got to earn it."

"You gotta put it in perspective, right?" George said. "These girls have been grinding to grow the game of basketball in the WNBA. They've been grinding to grow the sport to the world of viewerships. They've been grinding for all of this. And then you have this girl that comes along from college and is an instant change. She's handed pretty much being the face of the league. There's going to be girls that are offended by that. And there's going to be girls that think she's got to earn it. And she doesn't deserve this early."

Despite how other players feel about the attention Clark has gotten, George thinks "she's handled it great" and is the rightful face of the WNBA."

"She's handled it great. I think she's performed last year," George stated. "She's performing again this year. I think she's the rightful face of the WNBA. Up there with A’ja Wilson, with Napheesa, with still some of the legends, Breanna Stewart, Kelsey Plum, the new up-and-coming rising star, bunky Paige Beckers."

The attention surrounding Clark didn’t come out of nowhere. In her rookie WNBA season, she was an All-Star, named to the All-WNBA First Team, won Rookie of the Year, and led the league in assists.
