On Saturday, Mariah Rose, the daughter of ex-NBA star Jalen Rose, shared a bold take on WNBA player Caitlin Clark.
She argued that Clark’s collegiate resume did not qualify her as an of an all-time great and credited Angel Reese for influencing Clark’s meteoric rise.

Additionally, Rose expressed how Reese being vilified contributed to Clark’s accolades.
In a snippet posted on Instagram on the ‘Hoopsforhotties’ podcast account, host Mariah Rose said:
“Caitlin Clark is a WNBA player. So let’s stop inserting her into college conversations. Caitlin Clark is an all-time figure in women’s basketball, she is not an all-time women’s basketball great.”
Expressing her dissatisfaction with Clark’s collegiate legacy, the 24-year-old emphasized Angel Reese’s influence as a key factor in the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year’s sudden rise:
“Part of what made Caitlin so alluring is the fact that she had a villain, and that villain was Angel, and that rivalry blew completely up. Caitlin never won a championship.”
Although Mariah Rose made a compelling case against Caitlin Clark’s college credentials, it is hard to look past the Hawkeyes star’s influence. She led her team to back-to-back NCAA Finals and single-handedly raised the viewership number in the women’s basketball sphere by millions.
