Social media caught fire when it was revealed that Caitlin Clark won the ninth vote among other WNBA All-Stars.
The WNBA All-Star Process has three voting groups: fan rankings, media rankings and players of players and frontcourt players. Clark has won fan votes for the first time (with over 1 million and beat her own record from last year) and is third in the media, with her WNBA player ninth among defenders.
Clark finished second in all players, mainly because fans voted 50% of the vote to determine the starter – Dallas Wings Rekie and first-place pick Paige Bueckers ranked first.

Clark has been injured recently and struggled recently, with only 13 points in 47 of the 3-point territory in the last three games, and has lost six of the 16 games this season with Indiana Fever.
But many social media users say more evidence is jealous of the NCAA's all-time leading scorer.
“They guard her like her [Michael] Jordan celebrates any chance to try to hurt her and downplay her influence…W is full of elite-level haters who aren’t even hiding anymore. Kayce Smith of Barstool wrote on social media.
Another wrote: “She can easily be the best player in the league. These girls are ridiculous.”
“What a fun league full of petty and jealous women. They hate her, but she is the reason they both make more money. Simple thanks may be a great start. How clowns are in this league.”
Robert Griffin III noted that the vote was average, saying: “This means some players deliberately selected her into the top 15 to get her landing in #9” and told the players to “stop hating.”
“When Jordan, LeBron [James]Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Usain Bolt, Tom Brady and [Lionel] Messi came to the scene and everyone didn't like them, but they recognized their greatness and respected it while stopping them on the competitive ass. They did not intentionally vote low,” Griffin III wrote in an extensive post.

Fever star Caitlin Clark
Her 9th vote, corpse slammed and over-fouled when every team she faced was put under pressure? This isn't the ninth best defender treatment…it's the most obvious sign of Caitlin Clark, which is probably the players should get his correctness and media more correctly than fans and media, because they know what they know, because their only wnba makes their Wnba make their Jarark blend. My question is why can we talk honestly?
A social media user posted a comparison of Clark's statistics with Natasha Cloud, whose peers ranked fourth.
Clark averaged 33.3 minutes per game this season, 8.9 assists, 5 rebounds and 1.6 steals. Only Alyssa Thomas of Mercury, Phoenix, has more assists (9.3) in each game, and she touched on the hardwood in 12 games this season.
