The NBA canceled the highly-anticipated three-point shootout between Steph Curry and Sabrina Ionescu after Caitlin Clark declined to participate.

The NBA All-Star Weekend isn’t the TV ratings blockbuster that it once was.

The NBA invited the Indiana Fever superstar to help boost ratings for the upcoming All-Star Weekend. But the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year said no.

Fox Sports Radio host Rob Parker commented on the 23-year-old star guard’s decision to rest and relax during the offseason.

“Caitlin Clark has ruined NBA All-Star Weekend,” Parker shouted. “They invited her to be involved in a shooting contest with Steph and they were going to make this nice and give people something to watch. She is television ratings gold. Everything she’s in, people are watching. That would have been the only reason to watch any of the festivities this weekend.”

Parker was upset that Clark had “the gall and audacity to say no” when the NBA subsidizes her $85,000 a year salary.

“How can she say no when the WNBA wouldn’t even be around if it wasn’t for the NBA? They have subsidized that league forever,” Parker argued. “The least she could have done was do a solid for her brothers in the NBA.”

Parker continued: “She has ruined NBA All-Star weekend for me. I’m not watching one minute because of Caitlin Clark.”

X (Twitter) fans supported Clark’s decision.

One fan wrote: “LOL, Caitlin Clark, who makes $80K, is supposed to save the all star with plenty of guys making $10M +?”

Another person wrote: “Don’t blame her. She’d rather participate in her league. Good for her. I Watch The WNBA cuz of her.”

And a third person commented: “NBA players ruin it themselves. Such pettiness is embarrassing. Smh.”
