I'd hate to be Caitlin Clark - you get to be on the cover of 2K but your face isn't what the hell did they do with that photo (render?)

It's not hard to find the original for the Wembanyama cover: www.aol.com/articles/spu... Haven't found the Clark original, yet, if there is one.

Not the first time 2K's screwed up on a WNBA player's face.

New “face of the NBA” who turned into a pouty baby, the most hated player in the WNBA, and a guy barely anyone remembers anymore who was always overrated to begin with. Really plugged in stuff from 2K.

“To be the first WNBA player on her own global cover means women’s basketball gets to show up on that stage too, and I am proud to be part of that.” More on Caitlin Clark adding NBA 2K to her endorsement portfolio: www.fieldhousefiles.com/p/caitlin-cl...

I wonder if Stephen A. Smith and other basketball analysts gonna give Caitlin Clark refusing to participate in the WNBA 3-Point Shooting Competition that same amount of negative energy they gave LeBron James for refusing to participate in the NBA Slam Dunk competition.
