Shaq the only brother to state the truth and not worry about heat from others. Props to you, sir!
Not true Stephen A smith gave her props even though he did turn around & try & make it about race later in his rant. That's more then many like Jay williams or swoopes. Both of whom throw out fake information & even lies trying to keep Clark & Iowa down.
Charles Barkley is the #1!
He really, really doesn’t give a f…!
Long love Sir Charles!
@@craighanson-rc1md
SAS is a woke left plant. His job is to keep making it about race. He does that well.
Yes, I respect Shaq's opinion over all the ignorant other ranting jealous players.
You didn't listen to him when he was younger.@@gost5835
People can say what they want but this girl is doing things nobody ever did
This women college basketball lol
This is how much I respect Shaq ........ You always speak from the heart. No hatred or discrimination but only a genuine opinion. Peace with you "big guy" and thank you for the way you approach life!!
Kiss up much?
Shaq is lying, and is all about making white people happy.
Your comment just proves my point.
Stop it. How can she be the best if she's NEVER won an NCAA Title Championship? That would be like saying Barkley, Malone, Stockton, Dominique, Nash, AI, etc is the greatest player ever in the NBA. Neither of them won a ring and neither has Caitlin Clark
@@FreedomFighter2112 POINTS SCORED IN COLLEGE!
@@FreedomFighter2112every person you named was getting beat by a guy that scored alot more points than them a game and was winning titles. If she played at a college with help on her team it would be a different story. Shes dragging that team on her back
Thats a big compliment coming from Shaq
Shaq is lying, and is all about making white people happy.

@@FreedomFighter2112 why will she be chosen No 1 over Champion Players? Duh
@@bipolarpunt5721 Try and think of any player in any sport who was considered the greatest player of all-time without having won a title, ring, belt, etc in their sport? I'll save you the trouble...there isn't such a person. To be considered the best, you have to lead your team to win a title.
her shots are just insane!!!!!!!!! so many of them don't even seem to move the damn net!!
The fact that it wasn't just 49 points but she got 13 assists with it is insane.
Swishhhhhhhh
Clearly something called practice & years of it something most people let alone most sports especially pros don't do much anymore. Caitlyn still shows that she's one of those who literally lives & breathes basketball & when not at a game or an official practice is still probably reviewing video of her games/ rivals or shotting hoops herself on some public court or the backyard. Especially when people get to the pros like Curry Lebron they may show up to some or all of the official practices just to keep their spots & coaches happy but immediate offcourts probably even during practice are elsewhere.
@@craighanson-rc1md if her ballhandling gets even better lordy idk who can guard her.
@@dsteele2332 I understand & see your point but no one even in the NBA or other professional sports for any gender no one has perfect ball handling. Not lebron not curry not larry bird not jason williams not kobe not shaq. All of these players throw bad passes dropped or lose control of balls shot air balls or had passes picked off yet she & her team keep putting numbers up & winning games. Lebron nor Curry can currently do that for all the money they make they still throw bad passes or lose the ball or get blocked have their shots block & even miss. Angel Reese throws bad passes & misses a lot of shots LSU is only as good as Angel is she is ultimately the LSU team & I look forward to her playing Caitlin in the WNBA in the future. Should either or both choose to go that way I'd probably even go if not watch the two play in the WNBA when they play each other.
And she's not done yet! Go Caitlin!
Stop it. How can she be the best if she's NEVER won an NCAA Title Championship? That would be like saying Barkley, Malone, Stockton, Dominique, Nash, AI, etc is the greatest player ever in the NBA. Neither of them won a ring and neither has Caitlin Clark
Shaq showing Clark some love but Swoopes showing her some hate. Congrats to Clark s success.
It has everything to do with the fact that Caitlin is a Caucasian
@@mastercarpenter1970 And is not black, racist.
@@joeshmoe4671 by definition, caucasians are considered non blacks, this is true. unless you like patrick mahomes, and then you get the best, and worst, of both worlds.
What did swoopes say? I missed it
@@docbradleydcbasically a lot of false facts about Caitlin having extra years to beat records due to covid 😂 and that her play-style wouldn’t translate to the WNBA 🤦♂️
Much respect to Shaq! Speaks his mind….STANDS BY IT! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Yeah nobody sways him lol
Coldest female hooper i ever seen. DAMN
Easily.
Caitlin clark is the best female basketball player in the world
Stewie and A'ja send their regards
You can’t be the best in the world and not have a championship to show for it.
@@curtistillman4898
Championship is a team sport
She is the best player in Woman's College basketball...just because u scored the most points doesn't mean u the best
@@curtistillman4898this might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever read.
I don't know about any other good, female basketball players that has played the game. I've been an avid, all around sports guy for the 38 years of my existence. I've never, ever watched a college women's basketball game till Clark came along. I'm sure there are millions of other viewers who say the same thing. Clark is a generational talent and because of her, I'm now interested in watching women's college basketball.
She broke the record in 14 fewer game played too because of covid her freshman year
The only record Clark broke is scoring for white girls 4,061 Pearl Moore is all time leading scorer goggle it
@@josephtripple2735huh
@@josephtripple2735in a tiny ass division against easy competition
@lipsumnip did you say that for Bill Russell 🤔 I don't think so I know you hurt but the fact is Pearl Moore is all time leading scorer 4,061 happy black history month
@josephtripple2735 caitlin clark is all time top scorer in NCAA history pearl Moore isn't even on that list so why bring it up and if caitlin clark chooses to play a 5th year she will surpass that record too... just accept she is the best shooter in today standards...
We all know if her skin tone was a few shades darker there would be no debate on her being the greatest.
Stop it. How can she be the best if she's NEVER won an NCAA Title Championship? That would be like saying Barkley, Malone, Stockton, Dominique, Nash, AI, etc is the greatest player ever in the NBA. Neither of them won a ring and neither has Caitlin Clark
@@FreedomFighter2112 NCAA championship is about the team being the greatest! The records she's been shattering are about the individuals greatness. Some of the worst players in sports hold more championships then the goats did because they just happened to be on a great team. Greatest player vs greatest team aren't always the same.
FACTS
@@FreedomFighter2112 SMH get real. A championship ring doesn't define a individual player as great or not.
@@tmorris9330 Try and think of any player in any sport who was considered the greatest player of all-time without having won a title, ring, belt, etc? I'll save you the trouble...there isn't such a person. To be considered the best, you have to lead your team to a title.
This why people love Shaq , an he make people look stupid . CC22 best ever
Thank you Shaq !!! You are the truth
I have to say that it was my HONOR and PRIVILEGE to see her play in person 3 times when at Purdue!
Pathetic how people can’t admit she is the best. Great players before her blend together and could not shoot like her. She has taken the women’s game to a new level.
Wow! Pathetic??? Such a strong and inflammatory appraisal of what I consider to be a constructive debate. I know that we are not allowing this subject matter to cause us to be emotionally triggered. Are we? I most definitely enjoy a good debate, but I’m here for just the fun and giggles. Enjoy your weekend. Peace and blessings.
@@curtistillman4898the game is evolving it's not comparable to what came before. She's way more skilled than the women that came before and it shows.
I really appreciate the dialogue, but this is one of the reasons why comparing players among generations are difficult to do. Is she the best female player ever because of her skill level and her being the highest scoring player in history? I say no, and let me give you an example of why. Less use Michael Jordan as a laboratory example. He is not considered as the most skilled basketball player to ever played a game, and neither is he the NBA all-time leading scorer. Michael Jordan’s teammates would have never became better players as long as his concentration was on being the best individual player. The Chicago Bulls did not begin to win until Michael Jordan became a better team basketball player, and because of such 6 NBA titles, and three peat twice with no losses became his legacy and it is why he is legendary. Bill Russell has more titles but is not considered the greatest, wilt Chamberlain was more dominating but is not considered the greatest, Kareem Abdul Jabbar had the all-time scoring title just until recently, and is considered the greatest by some. Michael Jordan is considered the greatest by most because of a combination of Scoring, defense, tenacity, leadership, and getting it done at the most crucial times. These other female basketball players are in the conversation as the greatest female basketball player of all times because of these very same tangibles and intangibles. I will consider her name in the greatest female basketball player of all times by the same such standards. Hopefully having a difference of opinion doesn’t qualify someone as a hater. Qualifying someone as a hater because of having a difference of opinion is rather weird for a person of my generation at the age of 63. I really just don’t get it. I appreciate the dialogue. Enjoy your weekend. Peace and blessings.
I believe Sabrina Ionescu didn't just blend with the other players. She is part of the reason Caitlin is known because Sabrina brought more fans to the game
I agree that Sabrina does a lot of things very well, and the fact that she has double figures in assist means that she is playing team friendly basketball, and her teammates are contributing very well. This is the recipe for a player that has a great chance of winning a championship. I believe that she will win a championship within her playing career. Thanks for the contribution to this dialogue. Enjoy your weekend. Peace and blessings.
Charles saying stud is crazy
Lmao pun intended
LMFAOOO chuck dont know what that means
Well he can’t call them beauties 😂
Or nappy haired.@@JonDough-ux9ju
@@JonDough-ux9jucan call you all incels
Shaq and Chuck should go to the OSU vs Iowa season finale in Iowa City!!
I watched her for the first time in the recent game it was like watching a female Larry Bird, those 3 point shots from the logo wow!!!
It was nothing like watching Larry bird stop it 😂😂😂
Chuck calling them all studs 🤣🤣
lmao!!!
I love it when they all talk at the same time! I thought I was watching the view for a minute there.
Charles to Shaq: The stuff you don't know about basketball could fill up an encyclopedia!
🤣😂
love chuck, but he probably can't spell encyclopedia 💀💀

@@lguadez LOL, that's like saying Doncic, the best statistical NBA player, will win the NBA Title. Stop it!!!
I love to hear Shaq. He’s a straight shooter.
It’s her range that sets her apart (from Moore, Taurasi and Miller) and people make the comparisons to Stef Curry, Damian Lillard, Trey Young)
Keep doin' it, CC!!
You are a classy guy SHAQ.......You give credit where credit is due, white or black........
Caitlin Clark is PHENOMENAL!!!🖤💛🖤
Shaq is correct
She is the best!!
Reggie's sister was pretty damn good before getting hurt. Helped make him an HOF.
One of the BEST out there. FANTASTIC ❤️
I know I'm biased because I'm from Connecticut, but the best female college player of all time is Breanna Stewart. 4 years, 4 national championships, 2 player of the year awards.
Shaq so damn petty he always being up rings 😭😭
Don’t people do that to Embiid though?
embidd is fkn garbago bruhh !! chuck Played his heart out try to win agh damn ring!! went off in game 4 but mj went off more lmao@@AlwaysLM2011
@@BluntVille learn how to spell before talking silly🥴
THanxs Thot Itll do that@@AlwaysLM2011
He can he has them.😂😅
It doesn't get any better than this, when the TNT crew recognizes a sports achievement like this.
I dont like Shaq but I like how he stands his ground on answers you aint swaying him lol
Glazing so hard
Thanks Shaq. You see people!
CONGRATULATIONS MY SISTER! KEEP SHINING!
Holy shit shaq was right. The recent game against LSU cemented that fact didn't it?
It’s because Shaq was the most dominant player of his time. He knows a dominant player when he sees it.
breanna stewart won 4 straight national championships. not in the 50s or 90s. within the last 10 years
Yep, and good for her.
She WAS a GREAT player in college....on a team that could beat nearly EVERY WNBA team (and maybe the current Pistons). That doesn't diminish her greatness, but championships only tell a small part of the story.
@@louisgallaher3733she also was a 3x player of the year, and 4X Most outstanding player on the teams that you say are loaded with talent
And Stewie was a great player, too! But greatness doesn't have to include championships other than single player sports. Enjoy the greatness of both! That's all I'm saying.
Not all by herself she didn't. Look at who she had on her team and look at what Iowa has now. no comparison. They would be a sub .500 team without her
I’ll just give Clark her flowers. All the comparisons of generations is crazy. No matter the generation the game has always been the same put the ball through the hoop so saying who did what in what generation like they can play each other now is a wasted argument. Just give the girl her flowers 💯
awful take
Bruh they didn't even have 3 pointers before 1987. It took years for women to actually use it. She is definitely the most talented female college hooper ever, but to say the game has never changed it stupid.
@@user-xt5mn4fg5g so the concept of putting ball in the hoop has changed? Is that not how you get points? Who cares when the 3 point line came to effect she shoots from the logo only thing about the game that’s has changed is speed and physicality but what does her pure shooting have do with anything? Find a shooter from an earlier era that had her range
@@gualagangsmoke and defensive rules, scoring, foul calls, etc. When basketball was invented there was no dribbling. You have no clue what you are talking about, kid
@@user-xt5mn4fg5g 😂 ok u win 💯
Shaq the man tells it how it is respect big man
Look at Clark's assist totals in her career. She distributes better than Swoopes or Cheryl or Moore or any other top scorer, in history. Once again Shaq knows what is good!
Love Shaq's purple velvet jacket and tie
Trying to find if there's a video of what Larry Bird says about Caitlin Clark?
Shaq is a real gentleman !!
Way to go Shaq!!!!!
couldnt even name one other female player other than her, not even in the WNBA
She is saving womens sports
Caitlin is, in Dawn’s words: One of the GOAT’S in basketball. Caitlin is the G-O-A-T💛🖤
Shaq said what he said
Clark is the best and most exciting women's college basketball player of all time (the latter by a large margin). And she can hit 3’s regularly once she crosses half court. She won't go down as the most accomplished women player of all time, but in the last two years she has played at a higher level than any women in collegiate basketball history. And she also regularly sells out wherever she plays - unheard of in women’s basketball at any level. Clark is a once in a generation player and I believe that she will end being (barring injury) the best women basketball player ever once her career is done. She’s the best scorer, the best passer, and the most clutch player in college basketball, and perhaps in the world at the age 22. She is also an excellent rebounder for a guard (7.0 per game) and a solid defender (1.5 steals, .6 blocks). And oh, she already makes a million a year, mostly in endorsements. (This may explain why Sheryl Swoopes was hating on Clark recently (and stating incorrect facts) on CZcams for no reason other than jealousy.)
Jealousy and race play into Swoops comments
I was trying to give Swoops the benefit of the doubt on race but after her last comments (black people can't be racists) I will agree with you.@@stever1791
shaq looking like grimace
At this point media is pushing celebs to give her props after losing to SC...last yr they made sure she visited WH for losing😢...she's a nice person but they are doing to much for 0-2
CC YOU ARE THE GREATEST AND YOU ALSO THE CHARLES BARKLEY OF NCAA WOMEN'S COLLEGE BASKETBALL 🏀
Shag you are a class act period
Really exciting player.
She gets way more exposure playing college bball.
When she gets drafted into the WNBA she'll be playing in front of crowds in the dozens (and I hope my Mystics get her but they probably wont)
Why do you say dozens? It's a few hundred man get it right.
she'll change that.
The greatness of Caitlin is that she can work inside for points and rebounding, a playmaker in passing and her outside shooting is Men's NBA caliber. But why she is the best in scoring is that she is only a 6ft high women. The great female scorers have historically been tall women getting easy inside baskets, rebounds baskets and tip ins because of height dominance.
As a guard her height helps her alot. Kelsey Plum is 4 inches shorter than caitlin.
Who cares what her height is? She's still inferior to Clark.
Everybody cares. You think height is a trivial metric in basketball?
@@nathanwilhelm5732 Neither are a Center so their heights are irrelevant. If one were a Center and the other a Guard then it would matter unlike in this case. Both are great, Caitlin is just better.
Shaq's opinion is his opinion!
Comments from great players mean more than anyone else.
She’s amazing
He said what he said!
Her 3 point shots are going in from 25...26 feet away, or more. Killer shots.
Thank you Shaq.
You can have an opinion, but you can have facts too.
CC3 is on another level we have EVER witnessed in Womens NCAA
Thank you, Shaq! Speaking the truth!
I'm just starting to hear about this amazing female collage hooper ! Seen a couple highlights. It's Caitlin Clark & ju ju Watkins for me top 2 best NCAA women's college players in my book..
You can’t even compare CC to other women she’s that insane of talent. It’s actually disrespectful to her for comparing to other female basketball players
If CC shoots a logo 3 and breaks the record, but no one’s there to see it. Did it really happen? You can hold all the records, but only a few are interested. Shout out to this IOWA NCAAWB player with her talent, charisma and maturity for making us tuned in to woman’s basketball all season long. Hope it lifts up woman’s sports to greater highs for our daughters, sisters and granddaughters.
Maya Moore is the best female hooper I’ve seen. Jumpshot just as pretty as her. Just retiring at age 29 she could’ve achieved more I Respect her so much as a human, woman and professional
100% Correct.
Maya Moore was Caitlin Clarks' favorite player she talked about her in interviews. CC is the best point guard I have ever seen. Each generation inspires the next. Who is the GOAT is based on stats for some, championship for other but mostly it's based off of opinion.
Moore wasn't shooting it like Clark, wasn't passing it like Clark and didn't have handles like Clark neither. And especially not in college!
@@wonderlandian8465 I'm from Iowa and currently living here. Caitlin is one of my favorite female basketball players but she didn't win like Maya Moore. I think you should do more homework on Maya Moore before commenting. Moore is the greatest winner in Women's Basketball History. She won a lot in her short career and would still be winning if she hadn't retired ten years earlier than she should have.
Shaq's the man
Barkley and Shaq. The new "OJs"
Shaq is 100% CORRECT!!
Shac, you need to be there
Maya Moore cough cough
She was basically playing Shaq with a brand new defense I call the trojan helmet defense, cover the paint and the skys with the helmet, that was some sun Tzu tactics thinking, so congrats on creating a new defense, and you also had a benedict arnold that turned coat that transferred to SC from Iowa for the sole purpose of drilling the team on Clark's moves so another sun Tzu tactic utilized your spies, why they are the best defense vers the best offense
0:40 why Ernie laughing at Alex Morgan??
Maya Moore played way lesser competition & her numbers include JC, of all things. Different level entirely.
"I said what I said"
You said it all, Shaq. Caitlin Clark is the real deal. Put her on New York Liberty with Stewie and Sabrina, and they'll NEVER lose.
Hey Shaq your jacket is ugly. Shaq: but I got 4 rings
Her and Delle Donne are the two best individual players I’ve seen in women’s college ball.
I would probably pay to watch her... truly gifted
The Internet is on fire over her!!!! Nice job!!!!!
" An encyclopedia you couldn't read " Ernie diss
I would still give Diana Taurasi the top spot but it’s close🏀🏀🏀
Long lost Splash Sister....
Shaq is the peoples champ
Shaq has repeatedly been classy, thoughtful and precise about women's basketball, unlike a lot of commenters, so it doesn't surprise me he said this. He calls them as he sees them, and if the WNBA enlisted him as a marketing consultant, they might actually make money someday.
You heard him folks.
I don't believe Caitlin is the best women's college basketball player in history. I have her in the top 5.
shes got the attitude for it too
LOVE ME SOME SHAQ❤❤❤❤
How easily we forget she is being guarded by women 😂😂
She's better than Cheryl Miller?!!!! Everybody needs to STOP TALKING!!!! ESPN needs to hire me!!!
I met Cheryl in L.A. back in the 80's. I told her she "wished she could have beat me." "I'm from Jersey." Pico Mall. She would destroy Katilin Clark!!!
I agree with Shaq, Caitlin is the best collegiate player ever...college goat and possibly will be the GOAT in the WNBA.
Stop it. How can she be the best if she's NEVER won an NCAA Title Championship? That would be like saying Barkley, Malone, Stockton, Dominique, Nash, AI, etc is the greatest player ever in the NBA. Neither of them won a ring and neither has Caitlin Clark
and i believe shes only like 300 or so points away from breaking the all time (MAN or Woman) scoring record in the NCAA currently held by pistol Pete Maravich 54 years ago. So i predict she will be the top scorer not just for women now..but for men all so..with EASE....this girl is awesome.. they should allow her to enter the nba 3 point contest against steph... that would be a show.. i think she would be able to hang with the big boys in that...if not win it.
Watch Bella Perkins for Pitt
Love her
I’m with Chuck on this one.
