surpassing Caitlin Clark for the most double-digit<\/a> scoring games in a rookie season. While she is a standout player on the hardwood, the recent milestone comes as an incredible accomplishment for the Washington Mystics\u2019 rising star. With both Citron and Clark showcasing incredible talent, it\u2019s easy to see why fans sometimes mix up these competitive guards. Citron\u2019s latest achievement sparked a wave of excitement across social media, where fans celebrated her record while also weighing in on the ongoing comparisons between the two.
\nWNBA Fans Erupt on Social Media<\/p>\nDisagreeing with Sonia Citron\u2019s current record, several fans came in support of Caitlin Clark and highlighted the league\u2019s disparity. A user took to X and answered, \u201cNot really. Had more games to get it done. 41st game. The WNBA only had 40 last season. Given the number of games, she had an extra game advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n
Talking about Citron\u2019s latest milestone, the fan disagreed with the statement that the rookie surpassed Clark. But they were not the only ones to feel so. Most believed that it was the league that added extra games and dismissed the rookie\u2019s efforts. \u201cLast year it was 40 games, this year it\u2019s 44 games a Sonia did it in 41 games, so CC record still stands,\u201d another user added.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, a user commented, \u201cThis is what people don\u2019t understand. Caitlin Clark is the baseline of the good crop of talent in the league, not the gold standard. It\u2019s just going to get better every year now.\u201d They clarified that while Clark had an exceptional rookie season, she was just one of the many talented players that the league is expected to watch unfold in the future.<\/p>\n
While most held Caitlin Clark in high regard, certain users came to Sonia Citron\u2019s defense. \u201cShe should be the ROTY. Though I wonder how many she would have if she had been guarded like Caitlin was. Double\/triple-teamed, blitzed, flagrant fouled, full-court pressed, complaints about fans, constant criticism for anything she does, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n
Comparing Citron\u2019s attitude and dominance with that of Clark, the user was certain that the rookie deserved a freshman title this season. And more users chimed in. \u201cIt\u2019s funny how the national media isn\u2019t talking about this\u2026 Anything they can do to hold CC to a high standard. Sonia Citron has been breaking records all year. Rookie All-Star, Rookie 3pt Competition, Broke Washington Mystics Rookie Points in a season, which stood since 1996, etc\u2026 But no one is talking about her in the National Spotlight! Wonder why that is?\u201d<\/p>\n
This fan pointed out that despite being remarkable all season, Citron has not been given her due credit by the media.\u00a0 As the regular season continues, Citron\u2019s consistency and positive spirit are winning over more fans each game, adding to the excitement of an unforgettable rookie year for both her and Clark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Excitement filled the air as the six-foot-one Notre Dame rookie made her way to the draft stage earlier…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":195000,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[62,67,132,68,232],"class_list":{"0":"post-194999","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-united-states","10":"tag-unitedstates","11":"tag-us","12":"tag-wnba"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194999"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194999\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/195000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
