The NBA kept insisting that Caitlin Clark participate in the All-Star Game, the participation they would have proposed was for her to be part of a battle shooting contest between men and women.
That dynamic had a great response last year, the NBA wanted to replicate it, but now with the great WNBA star,Caitlin Clark.

There was even speculation that Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Sabrina Ionescu would also participate in this format of competition. The player was very willing to negotiate for a spot, but it seems that everything fell through.
