Dennis Jr.: Caitlin Clark Wasn’t Snubbed in All-Star Voting

ESPN’s David Dennis Jr. defends Caitlin Clark against claims of a peer-vote snub, arguing that finishing 11th among guards reflects the four-guard ballot limit rather than her talent. Clark still became an All-Star starter thanks to top fan and media support, while Parker criticized the league’s players. Dennis says the debate is driven by hype, not a real conspiracy, and Clark simply wants to play basketball without being used in culture-war narratives.
