Clark, the 2024 Rookie of the Year, hilariously posted a picture of Hollywood actor Jim Carry's character from the 1994 release "Dumb and Dumber," and wrote "Sophie" in the caption. It was in reference to Cunningham's chipped tooth.

In another post on her IG Story, Cunningham posted a selfie after a doctor's visit. The picture showed the fixed tooth, however, it was still visible that she was wearing a fake tooth.

Candace Parker blasts the scrutiny around Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese's rivalry

Caitlin Clark's arrival in the WNBA set in motion a lot of things in the league. From tickets being sold out to an increased fanbase, the league has seen better days since Clark set foot on the basketball floor.

However, there have also been fights for narratives and stories being overblown out of proportion that perhaps hurt the league. One of the biggest stories in the WNBA, in the last two seasons has been the rivalry between Caitlin Clark and Chicago Sky star Angel Reese.

WNBA legend Candace Parker was critical of the media overflowing the story and fabricating false narratives around their rivalry.

"Caitlin Angel rivalry or whatever you want to call it isn't that just women being competitive," Parker said (Timestamp:2:20). "I think it's women being competitive but honestly I think that the more visibility you get the more scrutiny you're going to get."

"Sometimes I think it's overblown... sometimes I think that like you're making a basketball play and then there's 15 angles from different cameras that try to you know make it something it's not."

Parker also said that female athletes are criticized for not being competitive, and when they compete, they are criticized for being too muscular and not being "ladylike."
