Breaking news: After going viral, a WNBA player dethrones Caitlin Clark as the fan favorite.

For a considerable amount of time, Phoenix has been dependent on Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner, but a new star has emerged in the desert for the 2024 season.

Recent performance by Mercury guard Kahleah Copper, who dropped 29 points in an exciting 97-90 overtime victory against the Dallas Wings, demonstrated her brilliance.

She is averaging career-highs of 23.5 points and 4.6 rebounds in her first season in Phoenix, and this performance is only one aspect of an incredible start to the season.

In the meantime, Caitlin Clark, the ultimate fan favorite in Indiana, continues to garner a lot of attention thanks to her Tiger Woods-like fan base.

But for a little while, Copper was the center of attention for WNBA fans, who joked that she had taken over the spotlight.

Copper, who spent seven seasons with the Chicago Sky before joining the Mercury, recently went viral for a post game interview from 2023 that has resurfaced, reminding fans of her dynamic personality and talent.

In a post game interview that recently resurfaced from 2023, Copper was asked about the bench’s involvement in the game and seemed to take offense to the question.

When prompted on what the bench needed to do better, given their quality numbers in the previous game, Copper humorously shot back with a simple answer: “score” the ball.

Since then, according to Mark Jackson’s Burner on X, the video has received over a million views, 9.1k likes, 1.3k retweets, and 361 comments. For many WNBA fans, Caitlin Clark is still the clear favorite, but some are suddenly labeling Copper their favorite.
