Colin Cowherd discusses the 'Caitlin Clark effect' on the WNBA, noting how the league's salary cap almost quadrupled. He compares her impact to that of Tiger Woods on golf and Serena Williams on tennis, explaining how a few athletes can dramatically change the financial landscape for their entire sport. He contrasts this with basketball legends like LeBron James and Steph Curry, who, despite their greatness, haven't had the same transformative effect on player salaries across the board.
