WNBA hopeful Caitlin Clark has shaken up the upcoming 2024 All-Star Game by receiving more than 700,000 votes to lead the team that will face Team USA at the Paris Olympics.
Clark received the most votes, along with her fellow contestants Aliyah Boston and A’ja Wilson, both exceeding 600,000 votes.
This is how the Top-5 of the competition would be structured:
- Caitlin Clark: 700,735 votes
- Aliyah Boston: 618,680 votes
- Ah, Wilson: 607,300 votes
- Breanna Stewart: 424,135 votes
- Angel Reese: 381,518 votes
Both Caitlin Clark and her draft teammate, Angel Reese (fifth most voted), will play together for the first time in their respective careers. Rivals in college between Iowa State and LSU, and now in the WNBA between the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky. Without a doubt, one of the big attractions of the weekend.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been a teammate of hers before, not even on the national team. I know people are excited about this, but I hope it doesn’t take away from the others,” Caitlin Clark said. “This is a huge accomplishment for everyone, both the WNBA and the national team.” Team USA“They all deserve the same praise. I don’t want to be the center of attention and the All-Star game does because it’s not fair to anyone,” he admitted.

“I’m very happy with my choice. I know how much I’ve worked,” Reese admitted. “When I came to this league, a lot of people doubted me, and that my game couldn’t be transferred to the WNBA and that it wouldn’t be the same as in college. But I trusted the whole process and I’m very happy that Chicago chose me in the Draft,” she said.
