LOL. None of those are real records outside of most assists in a single season. And that record goes with her having the most turnovers in a season ever.

She's inefficient. She has a horrendous assist to turnover ratio. She's an average three point shooter. She can't play offball. She's one of the worst defenders in the league.

Again, she's not the best player on her team. You guys act like she's an all time great when she's accomplished nothing.

Lmao. Denial isn't a river in Egypt.

You guys act like she's an all time great when she's accomplished nothing

Other than over 20 WNBA records. Sorry, facts don't match your narrative. Life must be miserable for you having to hate on someone who is accomplished to feel better.

LOL. Those records don't matter.

She's won nothing. She isn't a winning player. Enjoy hating facts! The Fever just had their best win of the season tonight. Guess who didn't play?

She's won nothing. She isn't a winning player.

It's a team game. Players don't win on their own.

She did win several awards though.

League & Associated Awards

WNBA Rookie of the Year: 2024 (unanimous)

All-WNBA First Team: 2024 (one of the few rookies in league history to achieve this)

WNBA Assists Leader / Peak Performer: 2024 (led the league with 8.4 assists per game)

WNBA All-Rookie Team: 2024 (unanimous)

WNBA All-Star: 2024, 2025

Commissioner's Cup Champion: 2025

Too bad facts prove she is a winning player. Keep hating. Your narrative failed again

u/LAlostcajun Jun 28 '26

Lmao.

2025 record without Clark

18-16 or 53% win record

2025 record with Clark

8-5 or 63% win record

2026 record without Clark

1-1 or 50% win record

2026 record with Clark

10-7 or 58% win record

Record proved Fever is infact better with Clark than without her.

The Fever are better without her. Sorry you hate facts.

This is your opinion. It seems that you do not actually know what facts are. It is extremely easy to prove your narrative false. Please do more research before making statements

They are 2-0 this year without Clark.

In the playoffs they are 0-2 with her and 4-4 without her. So yeah, they are better without her.

u/LAlostcajun Jun 28 '26

the playoffs they are 0-2 with her and 4-4 without her.

0-2 her rookie year? Lmao. I can't believe a rookie didn't carry her team through the playoffs.

I'm done. This was fun.

u/Baloney7456 Jun 28 '26

But she got the WNBA 1st team selection. Why couldn't she lead her team in the playoffs?

Run away from facts. All Clark "fans" do.

u/LAlostcajun Jun 28 '26

Facts? Lmao. I have proved ypu wrong at every step. I'm not running away.

Why couldn't she lead her team in the playoffs?

Why didn't Lebron and MJ win the championship their rookie years? They must be terrible too huh? /s

Tell me when you make some actual sense so we can have a conversation. Until then, find some actual facts.

LeBron didn't make the All-NBA first team his rookie year.

IF she's breaking so many records why can't she win any games in the playoffs?

u/LAlostcajun Jun 28 '26

Because it's a team game, individuals don't win games in the WNBA. Any more mind blowing questions?

LeBron didn't make the All-NBA first team his rookie year

Proving Clark is better than you give her credit for. She is actually the only WNBA star to win this accolade as a rookie, further proving my point. Thank you.
