Arrr, me hearties! Becky Hammon, Cap'n of the Las Vegas Aces, be sayin' that the swashbucklin' achievements of black and brown mateys be not gettin' the recognition they deserve compared to the white scallywags. Aye, we must be raisin' the Jolly Roger for all to see!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, there be a story 'bout Las Vegas Aces head coach Becky Hammon defendin' WNBA rookie Caitlin Clark. Hammon declared that the league be lovin' Clark, despite rumblings that veterans be hatin' on her. She made it clear that the race narrative be not bein' tolerated, tellin' folks to "knock it off." Many took this as a swipe at A'ja Wilson, who stood by her side. Hammon clarified that the issue be about celebratin' Black and brown greatness, not tearin' down Clark. This sentiment echoed what Wilson had said earlier 'bout Black women not bein' valued for their talents. Clark, for her part, be focused on playin' the game and helpin' her team secure their first win. And win they did, with Clark's clutch play liftin' the Fever to victory against the Sparks. So let us all raise a cup o' grog to Caitlin Clark and the WNBA, may they continue to thrive and succeed on the court!
