Colin Cowherd: ‘When is [Caitlin Clark] going to start winning?’
Credit: Brett Davis-Imagn Images The excitement of Caitlin Clark being the WNBA’s fun, shiny new toy is over, according to Colin Cowherd. Now it’s time to start winning. Cowherd and Tyrone Johnson agree the grace period is over for Caitlin Clark.
Where they disagree, however, is that Johnson compared Clark to Jeremy Lin , or a one-hit wonder. Whereas Cowherd believes Clark’s career is at the point where it should take off, like Michael Jordan or Taylor Swift. Clark was a rookie sensation, and she was injured for most of her second season.
But in year three, Cowherd believes now is when the pressure to win should start to set in for Clark. Similarly, Jordan was a rookie sensation; he was injured for most of his second season, and in his third year, he averaged 37 points per game. Jordan also led the Chicago Bulls to a below .
500 record in his third season, but Cowherd ignored that part for the sake of this argument. “When is she gonna start winning at the next level? She has not won a playoff series yet.
My take is, she has her Pippen, Kelsey Mitchell… “This is not hating on Caitlin Clark, but the stage of ‘Wow, who’s the new kid? ’ I’m done with that. ” – Colin Cowherd on Caitlin Clark pic.
