Clark's impact on the WNBA is massive, with sold-out games and increased demand. Her presence alone is elevating women's basketball to new heights.
The WNBA must ensure that its biggest star is properly supported. In her rookie season, there were concerns about how she was handled by the league.
Clark signed an eight-year, $28 million deal with Nike. While it seemed like a great move, some experts believe her team could have secured an even better contract.
Legendary sports marketer Sonny Vaccaro argued that Clark’s representation failed to maximize her value, potentially missing out on a more lucrative deal.
Vaccaro compared Clark to Michael Jordan, saying she should have secured a share of profits, just like Jordan did with Nike in 1984.
If Clark's deal isn’t as strong as it should be, she could spark another bidding war in a few years when she’s in her prime.
Despite the contract debate, Vaccaro believes Nike will promote Clark’s brand better than any other company, ensuring she remains the face of women’s basketball.
