Caitlin Clark is 23 years old right now. Mature, in her own lane, and just steadily growing. But you know what? Even 17-year-old CC wasn’t all that different. That whole “overrated” tag some folks still try to throw on her? That’s old news. She’s been dealing with that. Back in high school, when fans chanted “overrated” at her, she calmly dropped 42 points like it was just another day. That’s her vibe. Talk trash, and she’ll respond with buckets.
And as they say, game recognizes game. So who better to shut that down than a WNBA vet who’s been hooping for nearly a decade? Well, in her newly launched podcast “Courtney’s Dad and Her,” Courtney Williams and her dad pulled no punches when it came to the CC slander. “You talking about Caitlin Clark overrated? That girl ain’t overrated,” her dad said. “She’s bringing the heat. She’s crossing them up and them (the fans) pulling up. Shoutout to Caitlin!”

And then Courtney jumped in with her own rookie-year flashbacks, talking about just how rough that leap from college to pro really is. But Clark made it look easy. “Hell no… like she broke the record for assists,” Williams said. “I don’t think people really understand how crazy that is to do as a rookie.”
And truly said, the 2024 no. 1 pick didn’t just adjust, she thrived. Took her team to the playoffs for the first time since 2016 and lit up the court like she’d been doing it for years. So…when we look at the impact and numbers, that title actually makes no sense.
Developing Story….
