From her college days through her professional career with the Indiana Fever, superstar point guard Caitlin Clark has been selling out stadiums.But the Clark mania is beginning to fizzle.“They're selling tickets right now for Indiana Fever games in Indianapolis for just 28. The Caitlin Clark star is dying. There's no question about that,” says BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock.Meanwhile, longtime Clark rival and Atlanta Dream power forward Angel Reese is “ascending,” he says, highlighting the Dream’s 2-0 start to the season and Reese’s undeniable role in the team’s success.Clark’s star power fading as Reese’s swells is a nightmare scenario for him as a die-hard Clark supporter.“If Angel Reese wins a WNBA title this year or before Caitlin Clark or at the same time that Caitlin Clark's star is diminishing, what a horrible, horrible movie that will be for me,” he confesses.Even though Clark has given him “a million reasons to jump ship,” Whitlock vows he’s “not going to do it.” “I'm going down with the ship.
