Rashad McCants’ tweet calling Caitlin Clark the face of the NBA often pops up on social media whenever the debate about the true face of the WNBA heats up. Is it A’ja Wilson? Breanna Stewart? Sabrina Ionescu? There are plenty of contenders, and of course, Caitlin Clark is one of them. But ESPN’s Kendra Andrews has a totally different pick in mind.
On the Women’s Hoops Show hosted by Jordan Robinson, Andrews was asked whether Napheesa Collier is a legitimate contender to be the face of the league, or if her not being a trash talker discredits her position. “I don’t think so because I think faces of the league… have to have a certain personality, but you don’t have to have this alter ego,” she started.
“I think every face of the league should add something different. You have an A’ja Wilson who, I think, lets her goofiness out a little bit more than Phee does. You know, you have like–I think Sabrina is another person who’s kind of like even-keeled and stuff, but I also think that what Phee has built has helped with her version of the face of the league. She has taken like this businesswoman approach to it, but look how much she has done for women’s basketball. And I think that in itself can say, oh, like, you represent the WNBA and women’s basketball in a very specific way.”
