this WNBA The high offensive output of the All-Star Game led to ESPN host Elle Duncan saying things many people think are very rough on live TV.
It is not uncommon to see a lack of defense in the All-Star Games in Basketball, whether it is the WNBA or NBA. But Duncan has an interesting way to describe the side of the game during the half-time game during the ABC airing Saturday night.
Duncan threw 82 shots in the first half after seeing Napheesa Collier’s team throw 82 votes in Caitlin Clark’s 60 season. “Because like a girl traveling to Cancun, there is no D now.”

ESPN analyst Chiney Ogwumike quickly said, “Elle, you’re timed out. You’re done.” Then the broadcast went into the commercial.

Another wrote: “If Shane Gillis said it, they would try to cancel him.” He refers to the comedian’s Espys monologue, which was on the previous turn.
The second half finally started, the offense was more than the defense, as Collier led by 36 points to help her squad beat Clark’s 151-131 to win the All-Star Game.
Clark did not compete as she continued to provide care for groin injuries that had been nagging during the 2025 WNBA season. She suffered on Tuesday against Connecticut’s Suns, forcing her to be eliminated in her game against Indiana New York Freedom Wednesday.
