How awesome is this? USC basketball legend Cheryl Miller, arguably the greatest women’s basketball player who has ever lived, will coach in the upcoming WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday in Phoenix. The game format involves a collection of WNBA All-Stars playing Team USA before the Americans head to Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics. Cheryl Miller will coach the WNBA squad which includes Caitlin Clark, a player who was left off the Olympic roster. Cheryl Miller coaching Caitlin Clark? That should be a lot of fun and a memory of a lifetime for both women.
The game starts just after 8:30 p.m. Eastern time, 5:30 p.m. Pacific, on Saturday, July 20. ABC has the broadcast with streaming on ESPN Plus.
Caitlin Clark recently said this about representing Team USA in future international competitions, via Hawkeyes Wire:
After dispatching the Minnesota Lynx on Sunday, Clark was asked about her potential national team future.
“That’s what you dream of as a young kid, getting to represent your country. And, obviously, me and AB have the experience of playing for the junior national teams. You know how fun that is and how cool it is to wear ‘USA’ across your chest.
“So, it gives you something to work for, something to dream for. But, also I feel like I can continue to get a lot better. And for me, that’s my main focus and that’s what excites me the most going forward,” Clark said.
It’s Cheryl v Cheryl 🌟
