the legendary WNBA player and one of the most respected voices in women’s basketball, has generated quite a stir with her recent statements.

In a candid conversation on “The Gold Standard” podcast, Leslie shared her thoughts on why Caitlin Clark, the Indiana Fever’s star rookie, was not selected for the U.S.Olympicteam in Paris.

Leslie began by acknowledging Clark’s talent and impact on the sport, saying, “Caitlin Clark should definitely be called up.

She has had great success and has impacted women’s basketball tremendously.

We all recognize that and that’s why, as fans, we say she should be on the Olympic team.”

However, Leslie explained that the selection process for the Olympic team is much more complex than many think. “The Olympic committee has a tough job,” he commented.

“It’s not just about basketball, it’s about chemistry. Sometimes it’s about players showing up at different camps preparing for the Olympics.”
