    WNBA All-Star Game MVP Makes Her Opinion of Caitlin Clark Extremely Clear

    While there were a number of people who impressed during the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game, the one person whose performance stood out the most was Dallas Wings star guard Arike Ogunbowale.

    Ogunbowale won the All-Star Game MVP award after scoring 34 points; all of which came in the game's second half.

    And while Arike deserves all of the credit in the world for scoring these points, a few of her buckets came on behalf of assists from rookie sensation Caitlin Clark.

    Ogunbowale was featured on ESPN's "Sportscenter" program on Monday. And when asked about Clark, the Wings star discussed playing with her compared to against her.

    "I've been a fan of [Clark] since she has been in college," Ogunbowale began.

    "She knows how to get a bucket, she can create for herself, she can create for her teammates. And I just love her game.

    "It's fun playing against her," Ogunbowale added. "She brings the crowd every time... But playing with her, I just got to pick her brain a little bit and just see how she thinks and how she moves as a teammate.

    "She's one of my favorite players in the league as well," Ogunbowale concluded about Clark.

    Game respects game.
