Joe Pompliano calls it “indefensible at this point”

TThe Olympic team’s rejection of Caitlin Clark continues to raise eyebrows. The Indiana fever guard just delivered a record performance against the Dallas Wingswhich makes her absent from the team that will play Paris 2024 more noticeable, as a businessman and influencer Joe Pompliano marked.

The former Ohio Hawkeye improves exponentially with each passing game. His recent demonstration against the Wings is proof of this. In addition to the 24 points, six rebounds and her 52.6 field goal percentage, Clark provided an impressive 19 assists.

With this figure, Clark the record of 18 broken Chicago Sky’s Courtney Vandersloot in 2020 exactly opposite the Fever. As expected, Clarks record increased her chances of the Most Valuable Player 2024 (MVP award).

Pompliano could not help but notice both facts and did not hesitate to call out those responsible for the US women’s national team (USWNT) because they left Clark out of the equation.

Pompliano’s outrage

In a recent post on his X account (formerly Twitter), the businessman claimed: “Caitlin Clark now has the third-best chance to become WNBA MVP after setting a league record with 19 assists in a single game. The decision to leave her off the Olympic team is indefensible at this point.”

American basketball announced the composition of the Olympic team on June 11, and the controversy was inevitable and immediate. Clarks The absence sparked protests from all sides and the controversy has only grown since then.

Pompliano recognized that A’ja Wilsoncenter of the Las Vegas Acesis the top candidate for Most Valuable Player and clarified that he intended to emphasize that “Clark is already one of the best players in the league, and when you combine that with his popularity, she belongs on the team.”

Clark’s numbers

Caitlin’s support actions Pomplianos statements. Before the announcement of the Olympic team, the Fever guard averaged 15.6 points and 6.4 assists in 11 games. In the 13 games since her Olympic snub, she’s averaged 17.9 points and 9.1 assists.

Despite her continued improvement, Clark has not lost her ground. After her record-breaking performance against Dallas, the former Hawk’s Eye simply said, “I just try to set my teammates up for success. I think sometimes I can almost overpass, and there were a couple of times where instead of making passes that would result in turnovers, I could probably shoot the ball.”

Caitlin Clark is a work in progress. With every game she passes, her skills improve, and if she keeps up this pace, she will surely be the star of the VSWNT at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
