Arike Ogunbowale names Caitlin Clark as one of her favorite players in the WNBA

A hooper knows a fellow hooper, and Arike Ogunbowale is a big fan of Caitlin Clark.

It’s been really dope the past several days to see the players from around the league celebrate each other. One of the best moments from WNBA All-Star weekend was watching Caitlin be in awe of Arike’s prowess. She heaped praise on the Dallas Wings Star, calling her the WNBA’s best one-on-one player. Arike returned the favor during a recent ESPN segment.

She was asked about playing with (and against) Caitlin while on Sports Center, and she didn’t hesitate to let everyone know that she admired Caitlin’s game. Here’s what she shared:

“I’ve been a fan of her since she’s been in college…’Cause I just love hoopers. You guys obviously see my game, and you know, I see a lot of similarities…”

“I just love her game…She’s an amazing player. You know, Indiana is definitely lucky to have her…She’s one of my favorite players in the league as well.”
