‘He’s trying to make a business decision’: Former WNBA champion Lexie Brown criticizes Ice Cube’s $5m offer to $3.1 NIL-valued Caitlin Clark

Former WNBA champion Lexie Brown recently voiced her criticism of Ice Cube’s $5 million offer to Caitlin Clark, a player valued at $3.1 NIL (Nаme, Image, Likeness). Brown pointed out the discrepancy between Ice Cube’s stated intention of providing more opportunities for WNBA players and the reality of offering the contract to someone who isn’t currently in the WNBA.

Brown highlighted the logistical inconsistency of Ice Cube’s offer, noting that the BIG3 season does not overlap with the overseas season, rendering the argument moot. Additionally, she expressed concern over the potential offense caused to European countries, which have provided significant support and opportunities for WNBA players.

While acknowledging Ice Cube’s position as a businessman, Brown questioned the sincerity of his purported goal to uplift and support WNBA players and wоme𝚗 athletes. She suggested that Ice Cube’s offer may be motivated more by business interests rather than genuine support for wоme𝚗 in sports.
