Popular podcast Come And Talk 2 Me lately announced Alysha Clark as their Superstar of the Week. Moreover, she was invited for an interview where the host asked her what era she felt like she was in right now. Clark laughingly replied, “I wouldn’t say I have a villain era. I’m not mad at anybody. I’m somebody who believes everything happens for a reason. For me, things that are out of my control, I’m not gonna give energy to it. I’m in my OG era. I like to show that we can still show up and do the things.”

Clark is an experienced campaigner in the WNBA. The 36-year-old forward is often targeted for her age. She brought up this point and added some valuable comments to it. Clark said, “Our age doesn’t define us. I’m just trying to prove to myself that I’m still more than capable. I had people doubting me after my injury. I had people commenting on my age. I’ve had people doubting me my whole career.”

Apparently, the Liberty’s point guard Sabrina Ionescu taunted the Aces during the third game of the Finals. But the stunt soon backfired.

The Las Vegas Aces had their back against the walls before Game 4 of the Finals. They lost the third game to the Liberty 87-73 at a sold-out Barclays Center. In addition to this, two forward players, Chelsea Gray and Kiah Stokes got injured during the game.

Following this, the Liberty’s No. 20 mocked the Aces with Stephen Curry’s “Night Night” celebration after scoring a three-pointer. After securing the title, Aces’ star guard Sydney Colson gave a very animated response to the Liberty team and its fans. She said, “People wanted to count us out because we had two of our starters down, but they don’t know we got some dogs on this team. So, I got two words to say, Night Night!”
