Caitlin Clark's Official All-Star Game Vote Total Is Insane
Caitlin Clark's Official All-Star Game Vote Total Is Insane originally appeared on The Spun. It's not hyperbole to say that Caitlin Clark is something the WNBA has never quite seen before. While the league has had its share of very talented women come and go, few if any have had the type of star power that Clark has brought to the W— as evidenced by her 2025 All-Star vote. Advertisement This year Clark received 1.29 million All-Star votes. Which to put it in perspective, is more than the top 30 vote getters from the 2023 ASG combined (1.17 million). Fans were blown away by Caitlin's numbers on X. "Clark has changed the entire game of WNBA basketball," a user said. "Still don't think she IS the needle ??" another asked. "Argue with a wall as far as im concerned," a fan replied. "You dont have to like her, but never diminish her motion! No one moves the needle like she does 🪡" "I think I voted at least 500+ with different emails, on my phone, laptop, iPad etc 😂" another person laughed. Advertisement "She's that girl 🫡" "So proud of this and so happy for CC," another user commented. "She deserves it all, she is the needle, she is the face." "League of her own," another fan posted.
