Retired ESPN Anchor Makes MVP Case for Caitlin Clark

Former ESPN anchor Linda Cohn has endorsed Caitlin Clark as the rightful winner of the WNBA MVP award, despite the current frontrunner being her former colleague, Ja Morant. Cohn argued that Clark's impact on the game is unparalleled, with an average of 40.5 points per game, either through scoring or assists, which is a record in WNBA history.

She also praised Clark's teammate, Kelsey Mitchell, who averages 24.3 points per game, making them a dynamic duo. Cohn's argument is echoed by other sports writers, who believe Clark deserves a top-three MVP spot. While Minnesota Lynx rookie Olivia Miles has been the clear favorite, USA Today columnist Christine Brennan and others have suggested that Clark may be being overlooked.

Despite the strong case for Clark, it's difficult to argue against Ja Morant's dominance, as he leads in scoring average and rebounding average. Cohn believes that MVP should be about a player's overall value, not just statistics, and sees Morant as a "machine" who leads in all the key categories.
