Gil's Arena Battles Over Basketball's BIGGEST Rookie as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew debate who will have the bigger impact between Victor Wembanyama & Caitlin Clark when the dust settles on their rookie seasons. While many think the Iowa phenom is already changing the WNBA thanks to her Nike deal & popularity, Gil argues that the 2 superstars are NOWHERE CLOSE when it comes to roles in changing the game.
Gil’s Arena premieres every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 11:30am PT / 2:30pm ET.

Forbes reported that Wemby added 500M to the franchise he will be drafted in. Just now, NBA posted the top-selling jerseys this season and Wemby is top 4 overall. He is top 2 in jersey sales in Europe. And the Spurs are even in the top 10 franchise’ merch sales this season. I’m guessing Caitlyn Clark will do the same if not better for her team, but there’s levels to this. It’s easier to make an impact in a small pond, compared to the ocean.

The fact this is even a discussion is the proof Caitlin is having bigger impact. When have we ever debated a female in any convo with a stud Male player..... it's all relative. But she will have a bigger impact on her much smaller sport than Wemby will on his already super established one.

So 500M increase is 17.8% that the San Antonio franchise went up once it was known Wemby was coming. So when looking at CC, what total increase percentage to the Indiana Fever franchise represents their 36 nationally televised games they were able to secure once it was known Caitlin was coming??.
