WNBA fans were quick to react after an ESPN graphic involving Caitlin Clark started making the rounds online.
@CourtsideClub_ shared a clip of their take on the graphic and wrote, “ESPN totally cherry picked this Caitlin Clark stat [face with tears of joy emoji].” The graphic showed the “Most 30-PT Games vs AP-Ranked Opponents since 23-24,” listing JuJu Watkins at the top, followed by Clark, then Paige Bueckers and Hannah Hidalgo.

The framing didn’t sit well with many WNBA fans.
@Sunny083193 replied, “Statistical manipulation at its finest.” That phrase quickly spread, with WNBA fans quoting it while posting their own screenshots of the graphic.
As the replies stacked up, WNBA fans focused less on the numbers themselves and more on how the stat was presented. Several argued that the time window made the comparison feel selective. Others said the layout naturally pulled attention toward Clark even though the graphic appeared to be centered on another player.
One of those replies came from @dretheO_3, who tried to clarify the intent behind the graphic. “the stat is not about cc man it’s about hannah. which is why it starts from her freshman year. which was also juju freshman year.”
That explanation didn’t stop the debate.
WNBA fans continued to argue over whether the graphic highlighted the right names or simply used them to drive clicks. Some said it downplayed certain performances. Others said it inflated others.
The thread quickly turned into a broader conversation about how sports graphics shape narratives. WNBA fans shared examples of past graphics, old screenshots, and different ways the same stat could have been framed.
For many WNBA fans, the issue wasn’t the leaderboard. It was the construction. Who gets centered. Who becomes the hook.
What stood out was how fast WNBA fans dissected the image. Font placement. order. time frame. All of it.
By the end of the discussion, WNBA fans had turned a single ESPN post into a larger critique of how women’s basketball numbers are packaged and sold.
WNBA Fans Bring Up Caitlin Clark’s Luka Garza Take As Stat Debate Continues
As WNBA fans debated the ESPN graphic, another Caitlin Clark post began circulating for a very different reason.
@Marc_DAmico shared, “Luka Garza is the stretch big no one knew existed before this season. He’s now shooting exactly 50% from 3-point range this season.”
The post might have stayed within regular NBA discussion, but Caitlin Clark jumped in.
@CaitlinClark22 reposted it with a short caption that read, “I knew.”
That simple response caught the attention of WNBA fans, who quickly spread the screenshot.
Some WNBA fans took it as Clark backing her own long-standing eye for talent. Others treated it playfully, joking about her calling shots early. The replies under her repost mixed praise, humor, and sarcasm.
@automaticnba added to the thread, writing, “he was frying 3rd stringers in garbage time on minnesota for years lol.” That reply added another layer, and WNBA fans began debating whether Garza’s rise was sudden or overdue.

The timing of the repost mattered. With WNBA fans already discussing how stats are framed and narratives are built, Clark’s comment slid naturally into the moment.
Several WNBA fans pointed out how often her posts travel beyond the league. Whether it’s college memories, pro debates, or NBA reactions, her activity tends to spill into multiple timelines.
For many WNBA fans, this wasn’t just about Garza’s shooting. It became another example of how Clark’s voice carries across different basketball spaces.
As the threads kept growing, WNBA fans continued bouncing between stat graphics and player reactions.
Different posts. Same result. More discussion.
And once again, WNBA fans showed how quickly any Caitlin Clark interaction can turn into its own conversation.
