NBA – Kevin Durant cash on the exclusion of Caitlin Clark for the Olympics: “I am convinced that she will…

WNBA (DR) / NBA (DR)

Unlike Caitlin Clark, snubbed from the final Team USA list, Kevin Durant should be on the Olympic trip to Paris. But what does he think of the situation with the WNBA phenomenon? He spoke at some length on the issue, with his usual honesty.

For the first time in his long and glorious career, Kevin Durant will put on the same jersey as LeBron James and Stephen Curry in an official competition.

The three faces of the NBA of the 2010s may be aging, but they still display a level that should make those who have the chance to see them in action in Lille or Paris dream.

It simply remains to be seen who will take the leadership of this wonderful Team USA during the Olympic Games…

The Chef, who will evolve in a system made for him, since the coach is none other than Steve Kerr? The King, considered by many to be the best player of all time, or KD, GOAT of this national team and triple gold medalist?

Kevin Durant cash on the Caitlin Clark controversy

What is certain, however, is that they will not be able to discover the Caitlin Clark phenomenon during their free time, since she was not selected in the final group…

A subject that KD addressed in a recent interview granted to WSJ , and for him, nothing could be more normal despite the controversy.

There are still steps to take for the player before reaching this level of competition.

In our discipline of basketball, I think there are several steps to take before being able to participate in the Olympic Games.

I’m sure she’ll be on one of the teams in the future, but at the moment there are better candidates I think.
She just has to show on a daily basis what she can do, and I think the WNBA does a good job of highlighting her.

I see his matches on ESPN almost every day. No matter what people are talking about, everyone is talking about the WNBA season and that’s a good thing for the girls.
When she improves athletically, when her statistics improve, the league will really grow, also thanks to other women. Caitlin Clark helps shine a light on A’ja Wilson and so many other talented players.

For Kevin Durant, the fact of not seeing Caitlin Clark with the Team USA jersey this summer is just normal, there were more serious candidates than her for positions 1 and 2.

The Suns superstar knows that she will discover one day the Olympic level, and that it will help the WNBA to move forward, as its level of play approaches the best.

Move around, there is nothing to see according to Kevin Durant. For him, legend of the Olympic Games, the non-selection of Caitlin Clark is easily justified by the lack of experience and a level not high enough for the moment.
