Is it possible to win Rookie honors every month and still lose the Rookie of the Year Award? Yes, Carmelo Anthony is one such example. He consistently won the Western Conference Rookie of the Month award but ultimately lost the Rookie of the Year title to LeBron James, who also dominated the Eastern Conference Rookie honors that year. Are we about to witness something similar in the WNBA with Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese? Or will these two rookies have to share the honors like Jason Kidd and Grant Hill did in 1995? In that case, former NBA player Lou Williams isn’t on board.

Like many of us, the former Los Angeles Lakers guard is confused about who will win the WNBA Rookie of the Year. However, the 3x Sixth Man of the Year award winner is against the idea of seeing Reese and Clark as co-winners. “I don’t want it to be Co. cuz I think that’s like, for lack of a better term, I think that’s some b**** a** s**t like for the women. Like stand on the decision right. You don’t want everything to be cookie cutter like, ‘Oh they’re both playing well,'” Williams said on The Underground Lounge podcast.

He added, ” Start standing on business. We represent the best of the best. We’re doing the best of the best that we can and that’s who’s gonna be celebrated. So we can make those uncomfortable decisions no matter how controversial they will be all. I want to see that for the women’s game. But I honestly feel like this is one of the scenarios where you explored it.”

Only three times in NBA history have there been Co-Rookie of the Year. Geoff Petrie and Dave Cowens were the first to share the honors in 1970-71. Then Jason Kidd and Grant Hill shared the award in 1994, and Elton Brand and Steve Francis did the same in 1999.

The debate heated up again when James and Anthony went head-to-head. Both dominated the rookie accolades, but ultimately, the tough decision was made, and James won the title.

History seems to be repeating itself, not in the NBA, but in the WNBA. Who will win the Rookie of the Year honor when both players are equally loved? While Reese keeps racking up double-doubles, Clark continues to deliver stellar performances, breaking records for fun.

Caitlin Clark continues making history in the WNBA

Yes, it’s the year of the rookies as Clark has broken yet another WNBA record. After breaking the record for most assists in a game against the Dallas Wings with 19 on July 18th, Clark surpassed Ticha Penicheiro as the rookie with the most assists in a single season. Keep in mind that Clark still has 12 games left to play.

“I just try to set my teammates up for success. I think at times I can almost overpass. There probably could have been a few times were instead of passing that leads to a turnover I may have, I can probably shoot the ball,” Clark said after breaking the single-game record last month. But that’s not all.

Clark also shattered WNBA legend Sue Bird’s record by becoming the fastest rookie to achieve 400 points and 200 assists in her rookie year. And the list of her accomplishments goes on. It’s no wonder fans are in a frenzy, eagerly anticipating who will be named Rookie of the Year.
