Welcome to another episode of Sports Are Fun!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Every week on Sports Are Fun!<\/em>, co-hosts soccer legend Kelley O’Hara<\/a>, sports journalist Greydy Diaz<\/a>, and JWS intern BJ serve up their hottest takes on the biggest women’s sports headlines.<\/p>\n This week, the Sports Are Fun!<\/a><\/em> crew is joined by sports reporter, host, and digital creator Aliyah Funschelle<\/a>. And with a brand new WNBA season<\/a> tipping of this Friday, the women’s pro league and its many basketball superstars<\/a> naturally dominate the conversation.<\/p>\n “In the sports betting world, Caitlin Clark is a frontrunner for MVP<\/a>, which I was surprised about,” starts O’Hara, referencing the sportsbooks’ latest WNBA MVP odds.<\/p>\n “I mean, my thing is last season, she was number seven in total points,” says Diaz, clearly not convinced. “She averaged about 19. A’ja Wilson<\/a> averaged 26. That’s a big difference.”<\/p>\n “I don’t know what clientele is setting these odds,” says Funschelle. “I don’t think she could be in the running. Maybe most improved? Which is crazy to say but I think Caitlin Clark has another level that she hasn’t reached yet.”<\/p>\n “Just her having the ability to rest during this offseason<\/a> and build muscle,” Funschelle continues. “I think she has an untapped level. She could really take step up to be like A’ja Wilson or Stewie<\/a>, one of those big names.”<\/p>\n “I saw the pictures<\/a> of her and I was like, ‘She’s been putting in that work in the offseason.,’” agrees Diaz. <\/p>\n “People said it was AI!” laughs Funschelle, cracking up her co-hosts. “It was crazy.”<\/p>\n In addition to the WNBA, the Sports Are Fun!<\/em> hosts dive into the unpredictable NWSL weekend<\/a>, Golden State’s mascot auditions<\/a>, and so much more!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The Sports Are Fun <\/em>crew wastes no time in getting into the WNBA MVP conversation, with hosts throwing out potential award winners. <\/p>\n “MVP? I feel like Napheesa [Collier] is going to come out for everything this year,” asserts Diaz, nominating the Lynx mainstay and Unrivaled 3\u00d73<\/a> co-founder. “She wants it all.<\/p>\n “She wants a title, she wants MVP,” O’Hara adds.<\/p>\n “Absolutely,” says Diaz. “Given the way her season ended<\/a> last year and given the way she did so well at Unrivaled<\/a>, I think she has an incredible momentum and she’s only building off of it.”<\/p>\n “So for me, it’s either she’s going to win MVP. Or A’ja Wilson’s going to get her fourth MVP<\/a>,” Diaz concludes. <\/p>\n “You don’t think anyone else is contending?” asks BJ. <\/p>\n “Nope,” says Diaz.
