In many ways the tunnel has become a runway for the WNBA’s players — and why wouldn’t it? Night after night the ladies of the W show up and show out with their walk-in fits. But not every risk pays off…

More recently, Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers got grouped together with their contrasting looks ahead July 13’s Fever-Dallas game — Caitlin rocking an oversized power suit and Paige dressing down with a more casual vertical striped sweater and jeans.

Prompting one user on X to hilariously reply: “Someone said the mom headed to the superintendent’s office, and her 13-year-old kid who got in trouble.”

That comment made it all the way to Cameron Brink’s “Straight to Cam” podcast, where the LA Sparks star and guest Sasha Colby gave their reviews of the No. 1 picks’ respective fashion statements.

“I mean… it’s pretty accurate,” Brink admitted. “Does [Caitlin] look very boss woman chic clean? Yes. Does Paige look very streetwear cool girl? Yes. But seeing those side by side, it’s pretty funny.”

“I think they both stay very true to those aesthetics, like Caitlin’s usually in her Prada, she’s a little more buttoned up. I guess Paige, she’ll wear suits [too].”

As entertaining as their clashing styles are its their games that really shine. We’ll get the chance to see them share the floor again twice over the next few weeks with matchups on August 1 and 12.

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

WNBA Chooses Not To Investigate Brittney Griner

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got away with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
