Caitlin Clark’s impact continues to transcend women’s basketball, drawing praise even from NBA stars. However, WNBA fans offered mixed opinions on what Victor Wembanyama said about the generational talent.
A resurfaced clip from October 2024 showed Victor Wembanyama calling Clark the most impressive college player he had ever seen — men’s or women’s.
“Caitlin Clark. When she was in college, she was the only college player that I was really in awe of the game, you know. I’m saying men’s and women’s college basketball, she’s probably the most impressive I’ve seen,” Wembanyama said.

Two years later, the comments are stirring debate again among WNBA fans.
@Taurus9055 knew a specific group wouldn’t like it, saying, “The lesbian tribe will say his opinion doesn’t matter.”
@Cmoney3315 added, “Oooh this’ll piss some people off.”
However, @CanandaLiv77658 raised quite a concerning point: “Love him and feel the same way. But Wemby saying this might make other wnba players mad again about Caitlin Clark I think?”
While opinions remain divided, Clark’s image has undeniably brought more attention to the WNBA over the past two seasons.
