WNBA reporter Khristina Williams publicly requested that former basketball player John O’Maley stop sending unsolicited emails regarding his support for Caitlin Clark’s MVP candidacy. Williams, who serves on the WNBA’s postseason awards voting panel, posted on X that she received five emails in a two-hour span from O’Maley, adding to multiple messages sent over the previous month. The incident occurs during the WNBA’s ongoing break for the 2026 FIBA World Cup, a period during which the league’s MVP race continues to generate public debate. While Caitlin Clark is a primary candidate, A’ja Wilson remains the frontrunner for the award. O’Maley, a former varsity player for Bob Knight at the United States Military Academy, has advocated for Clark’s recognition despite her high turnover rate and the team's defensive concerns. Williams previously shared her ballots publicly in prior seasons to address transparency in the voting process.
