Caitlin Clark Should Not Accept Ice Cube’s $5 Million Offer, Big3 Coach Claims

What would you choose if it comes down to choices between $5 Million or a WNBA debut? The answer could be simpler if the choice was between $5 Million and an NBA debut. Most NBA players end up earning more than that through their annual salaries, brands, and sponsorships. But it is a different story when it comes to the WNBA. Only a handful of WNBA players have their net worth above $5 Million. So it seems Caitlin Clark has a tough choice to make between the tremendous offer and the 2024 WNBA draft.

In the meantime, Reggie Theus has shared his opinion on the issue from his perspective. Speaking with TMZ Sports, Reggie stated that though the cash being offered is incredible, at the same time playing in the WNBA is lifelong dream material. He further said that if he were in Clark’s place, he would try to play in both the leagues. But he could not be sure if the WNBA would allow that.

In fact, some believe that ESPN never offered as much coverage to Big3 updates as it is doing now. So, it is most likely that Ice Cube will look forward to getting Caitlin into the league. However, there have also been hopes around Caitlin being the savior of WNBA, so it also being said that the league may up their salaries considering her Big3 offer.
