WNBA Drops BOMBSHELL: $60,000 Prize Just to Get Caitlin Clark in 3-Point Contest?!

The WNBA All-Star game and All-Star weekend were just around the corner, and the excitement was palpable. This year, the event would be held in Indiana, and the anticipation was building up. The WNBA had announced that the prize money for the three-point contest would be increased to $60,000, courtesy of sponsor AFLAC. The move was seen as a clear attempt to lure in Caitlin Clark, the league’s ratings queen, to participate in the contest.

Caitlin Clark was a rookie sensation who had taken the WNBA by storm. Her incredible skills on the court and her charismatic personality off the court had made her a fan favorite. The WNBA was eager to capitalize on her popularity, and the increased prize money was a clear indication of that.

However, the move was not without controversy. The WNBA’s prize money was still significantly lower than the NBA’s, and the fact that the prize money was sponsored by AFLAC rather than being written into the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) raised eyebrows. The NBA’s prize money was guaranteed, whereas the WNBA’s was dependent on sponsorship.
