Is Caitlin Clark the closest thing basketball has ever seen to Steph Curry?
No bruh her numbers are atrocious
People tend to forget Steph Curry's rookie and sophomore years were not super-star clip. Good yes- but not the MVP grade explosion he had when he got fully fit and the Warriors dynasty came online. He was also doubted coming in from a small college despite his strong NCAA run.
CC has come with a bit more of a pedigree and hype than than Curry out of College - but ultimately she's good for the league. Her play style is good too. Something needed to break up the status quo as the WNBA is stagnating at a time where women's sports is starting to gain some momentum.
No
for the wnba, sure.
She's the closest thing to a role model.
Women's biggest haters/enemies in sports are other women.
People will say it's sexist, but Caitlin Clark has 100% proved that.
"Women's biggest haters/enemies are other women."
Fixed that for ya. 👍🏿🤣💯✊🏿
Spoken as someone who clearly hasn’t any concept of the communities in women’s sport.
But you people aren't showing ANY hate or vitriol at all right?
It’s called t0xic femininity
The community of begging and no accountability? 😂 yall can keep that community lol
Another important fact that was left out, is that CC is very humble which makes her likable. On the contrary, those so called WNBA stars all come across as arrogant and privileged. Nobody will root for those.
her style is making more people fans...she continues to win:) Her IQ on and off the quart is off the charts
And their entitlement is so unfathomable. They always had excuses for the lack of interest, a lot of which centered about a lack of marketing efforts, which is bs. They never said we need to be better at basketball and to up their game. Well CC is going to do it for them.
And the men aren't arrogant?
@pauladewhurst9604 men's arrogance tends to be backed up with performance. So yes, deal with that and sit down.
Yessir. Also, she is down to earth, kind, educated, polite, and professional.
She is not only a good player, she is different from most WNBA players. She is a princess, and when compared to all of the annoying delusional people in the league, she comes out as fresh. Plus, she is groundbreaking as a delicate, straight girl in a league full of the opposite... which they are trying to impose. Plus, she suffers racism for being white. Jesus, she even has a storyline.
taurasi taking that “buzzer beater” with 8 seconds left and airballing… lmfao
I don't get it, why was nobody watching that "high drama" action? 😂
This year at the Women's NCAA tournament 17,000 people came to watch Caitlin Clark and Iowa PRACTICE! They came to watch her practice. What does that tell you folks? People want to come watch Caitlin Clark win, lose or practice! It is crazy. It is her style of play, her logo threes & her pinpoint passing. It's her enthusiasm and the joy she plays with. She loves the crowds. She loves the fans. She wants to make sure they get what they paid for and that is to watch a game that is entertaining to watch.
“We’re talking about practice.”
We're not even talking bout a game?
She sold out kinnick stadium too . .
@@registereduser "not the game I go out and die for" 😂
The women were right! They should have profit sharing% mandated in their contract.
Then they can pay for all the losses every year.
great comment I am watching because of clark not having seen her in college, last time I watched the wnba was tina thompson and lisa leslie days, the ladies are catty and chippy with an exaggerated sense of self worth ,Clark is going to get them all paid because people are curious because of the media hype, this is good for the league and the players, attendance is soaring, put the bullshit aside ladies your great hope is here and tv contracts are next so be thankful for her, compete hard because thats what athletes do but be clean and my God be thankful
N o because they would never get possible money . Tgeybalwaysclose money. Any percentage of 0 or 0
They would be forced to pay 86,000$ per player to play in the league to cover losses. Until Clark came along.
Lisa Leslie said we should get donations... "The entire league is a donation".
That got a lol from me! Well done 👍
I’m 67 yrs.old filipino fan of caitlin clark..i love her❤
love you. same here - from the USA.
Kabayan!
I'm Norwegian i love her too
Does that mean all the other players should be hated?
@@Rick-og6oypeople only hate the other players because they have been a bunch of hateful bitches. Sorry, but it’s true.
I got to watch most of Caitlin Clark's home career in Iowa City. She's fun. It's just that simple. She is fun to watch. She plays with finesse, passion, and verve. Time after time she made plays that left the crowd wanting to see her do it again. The problem with lowering the rim is that you have several generations of players trained to play at a very high level on the ten-foot rim and it would be stupid to change that on them now. Plus, the college women's game has proven there's a huge potential for this game.
Ye but screw that I’m not here to watch three pointers I’m here to watch dunks aggressive drives to the rim actual basketball not this new shit
"several generations of players trained to play at a very high level"
You got me with the "very high level" part. Good stuff.
I didn't know who Taurasi was til I watched a Caitlin Clark video plus those background Kawhi laughs were unexpected and hysterical.
How are people this stupid. They have never turned a profit ever in 27 years. So how do you think you should get paid. You have to sell tickets, merchandise, jerseys, etc. I do not understand this mindset at all. It infuriates me for real. This entitlement. I deserve just because. No you have to earn it, you have to put a product on the court that people want to watch, not this WWE crap, and the bricks being put up on easy layups. Focus on that. Most of the women in this league cant even hold a simple press conference and be professional. Some of the would do well to hire a public image consultant. That is why people are gravitating to caitlin people relate to her, Most of the fans do not relate to this woke ideology which is why the league has not grown. You cant ignore 90 percent of the fanbase and expect to grow.
Well put.
@@julianwahly3372 she is probably selling more merchandise than the rest of the WNBA combined and name another player that sells out opposing teams arenas
By people, you mean women, right?
@@BBakira1031 I'm assuming this comment was talking about the welfare League the WNBA and yes it's a welfare League the US taxpayers foots the bill everybody thinks the NBA owners are the ones taking the losses but that's not true they use it as a business loss and write it off with their taxes the US taxpayer is the ones getting stuck with the bill
It's not "woke" ideology, it is arrogance and entitlement. They are not the same thing
She isn't saving them from themselves
She is saving them despite their demands that they fail instead
THIS!
It’s despite themselves
No, she isn't. She sold out Climate Change Arena (18,000) last Thursday. Last night, the Storm drew 7,202 fans. Her fans only watch her games, and she can only play 40 a season. The league is still going to lose $50 million this year. Her impact is negligible, which is why the other players aren't deferential.
@@mc76
Hmm
I wonder why the fans haven't translated to other players and other teams
Maybe it's their attitudes towards CC...
Yep.
I was open to liking the W until I watched and heard them
They belong on a show called Ghetto housewife's
Waychijg the games the stadiums have been more filled than before but nowhere near comparable to the teams that have the players everyone likes the storm don't really have many players to improve their likeability the fever have a few the sparks have some Dallas is just fun to watch mercury are great and the liberty are amazing
The Kawhi laugh interspersed throughout is hilarious! 😂😂
If the players in the WNBA want to make more money then they have to generate more excitement about the game. The WNBA officials allowing Caitlin Clark to be "man-handled" and bullied by other players without consequences to the offenders will chase away fans if Clark gets hurt and cannot play. But sadly, that seems to be the goal of players from opposing teams who cannot match Clark's skill levels so they basically bully her with moves that would be immediate cause for ejection of the offenders if it were an NBA game.
Clark can take her show to Europe where she will be truly appreciated and get the bags of cash she deserves. WNBA can then revert to its historic irrelevance.
Great point. Question: what's the difference between European women's basketball and American that results in the pay gap? I'll go ahead an answer: Americans are sexist and don't value women in sports, which they see as a masculine endeavor.
She has bags of cash from her Nike deal
You do know that half the WNBA plays in Europe in the offseason, right?
@@mc76 dude, i didnt know that, but thats great knowledge and thanks for sharing
@@Nequetrefi11 Even Russia has a team I think. That's why Grienier or what ever her name is who plays for the Phoenix Mercury was there, with her illegal drugs and thinking she was privileged and then spent 8 months in a Russian prison.
The only WNBA content I ever watched before Clark made it into the league were WNBA lowlights. I personally will still not watch non Clark games. The majority of the women in the league are insufferable and do not deserve any type of viewership or support
😂
Yeah only teams I’m beginning to enjoy watching is the Liberty and Fever
Yeah, they might get more fans if they are not so likable. they need to work more on their personalities aside from their skills.
@@rap3208I’m the same way and i know many others that do this as well it’s very common
😂You been watching alot of losing games , I'll take LV tomorrow if you want the Fever for 10k
The Commissioner is completely derelict in her duty not to have already taken steps, as in harsh punishments, to stop this foolishness. If you can’t play basketball without committing acts like those shown here, you don’t deserve to play at all.
Basketball is entertainment, period. You are entertainers. People don't watch a tiktok of a guy "finishing good concrete", they watch a tiktok of a guy juggling trowels. Ya gotta be entertaining, entertainers.
Sounds like you just hate women... 😂 😂

@@quentelhill5074 Bullshit.....
It's pathetic players like Taurasi are so intimidated by Clarks popularity they fail to realize just Clark herself could double there contracts in one year
No, she won't. Clark can only play 40 games. 40 sellouts and 40 highly rated games on TV won't move the needle appreciably for the rest of the league. The WNBA is projected to lose $50 million this year, even with Clark's impact. That's why the other players don't defer to her. They know that she will not be the savior that everyone thinks she will be. Her fans are her fans--period.
No. Stop. People are just talking on the Internet. You are still not watching
@@johnykilroy5521 what do you mean by that
@@mc76EXACTLY
@@mc76🤦you must be a wnba player. AINT NO ONE ever watched wnba until this year until CC. More viewers more opportunity to see other players and FORCE other players to get get better and show off their stuff. All good athletes know how Momentum can play a big part. YOU and WNBA don’t want or don’t realize this shift 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
I still remember the moment I fell in love with basketball. I was maybe 6 years old watching a game on TV with my dad and I saw MJ dunk the ball. It looked like he could fly. In that moment he became my childhood superhero and I became a fan for life. All from seeing that ONE dunk, I became an NBA fan. Ive now gone to more blazers games than I can count and I watch a good portion of other teams games throughout the season as well. Ive been buying merch and concessions and tickets for like 30 years now, a valuable customer for the NBA, all because of ONE DUNK. How can the WNBA not understand the appeal of the most explosive, exciting aspect of the game?
Because modern day feminists aren't logical.
Kawhi Leonard's laugh in the background kills me. 😂😂😂
Asking to see Michael Porter Jr dunk of all people is actually hilarious.
Yeah she's a perfect example of the combative, off-putting, won't listen to criticism type of WNBA player that is hurting the league. MPJ is practically 7' tall and very athletic. What an absurd stupid statement to make.
Both the NBA and WNBA suffer because they've nurtured an entitlement culture rather than a competitive one. Their rules are laughable compared to international and FIBA standards, which still adhere to most of the NBA rules from 1992. As someone between Gen Z and millennial, I'm part of their target market, but I can barely watch the games today. Instead, I tune into international competitions and rebroadcasts of games from the early 2000s and 90s. This completely changed my perspective, and now I prefer watching those older games.
Two things no one has talked about: 1) How Liberty was trying to cover CC full court, from end to end 2) How many different players Liberty used to cover CC.
The problem is not that there are no great basketball players in the WNBA. The problem is there are not enough great players, and way too many mediocre players who cover up their lack of skill by playing physical. Most people do not go to a basketball game to watch women beat each other up.
Bro’s been silent ever since the Klay news. The warriors delusion finally caught up to him 😂😂
Haha naw - video dropping soon. Thanks for the comment though!
@@HoopReports
What do you think of Mike Dunleavy? For me, I think he is trashing the GS.
He traded Poole and 2 picks for a 39 year old Chris Paul.
He waived Chris Paul for nothing even though he could've traded him for Zach Lavigne.
And he let their second scorer go, Klay Thompson.
@@Morgen30 - Ummm... have you watched Jordan Poole's "highlight" reel lately? Making Dunleavy look like a genius. Paul was brought in to lift Kuminga and Moody and the rest of the rookies. He's on his way to San Antonio to do exactly the same thing.

"The Warriors are fooling everyone.... Again! For real this time!"
trading one of the worlds most deadliest men for a woman who cant hit a 10 foot jump shot but thats her job is totally bonkers
The WNBA is so dumb, they are going to get this person hurt on court and then there will be a walkout probably which will shut them down. Nobody wants to see a dead women on the floor, for ratings that's outrageous. Angel cant hold this league together, they know it's a white black thing now, and so if she gets hurts, the white won't watch. We all know blacks dont support blacks like that. They need whites money
Man/his.
I'm more concerned if griners hatred of America than her jump shot
Agreed. Biden abandoned another American ( an ex- Marine) behind - in favor of a Trans* drug smuggler.WTF !
* a home video of Brittney Griner recently came out of her shooting Hoops shirtless - and 'she' has zero breast tissue visible . The Russians put her in a mens prison because they believe' she's' A MAN.
because of one dumbass: biden
I never even wanted to watch until I heard about a player who was shooting the lights out from downtown!
@@chrisxavier1848 she's not doing that in the WNBA😂
I’m a CC fan, and I admit she still has a lot of improvement to make. Haters talking bout her turnovers and everything. Why can’t they just appreciate what this girl has done to the league. 70% of the people watching is coz of her. Let’s just Appreciate it!!!
- Fan from the Philippines.
Haven’t watched basketball at ANY level in 20+ years.. and now I watch every game I can get of CC.
the wnba wont do anything. i hope clark gets every endorsement she gets offered.
Uh, isn't it a question of how many endorsements she accepts. Look closely at her uniform. the nike logo and on the left shoulder is the word Lilly.
She shoulda signed w the big 3
@@drmayeda1930 That's got nothing to do with other endorsement offers she gets off which she will be offered a lot 😂😂😂
She signed a 28 million dollar deal with nike. She is set for life already. The league however, is less than 10 years from death. Nobody wants to pay to watch toddlers not catch a ball.
If lowering the rim is "not" basketball, how is using a smaller ball? middle school boys even use the baby ball. Why CC sparking this uptick? Finally a true baller who is committed to the game, not the profile provided by it.
It would cost more money to give them a customized court. The ball is a lot cheaper.
If i wanted to watch someone miss shots and miss a lay up i would just record myself.
Even in Africa we now know who caitlin clark is 😂 insane !! Am going to start to watch the Fever’s game now 😁😁 cause I love her style it reminds me of Curry 💦
She’s more like Nash and Curry but Nash first
@@alansnow1129 she does have a steve nash type game
I am from Philippines, a basketball crazy nation. WNBA is not known there but women's volleyball is very popular. Have you seen women's volleyball players? They are femine, compare that to WNBA players. I watched the WNBA, when it first introduced. It was so boring thay i couldn't remember the teams or players in that game. Then Clark came along and I was captivated. Her charisma and her personality that gravitate the people to her. Some people has it. I don't understand why these players are keep asking why CLARK has gotten all the attention. Her persona is marketable
.
sure we can appreciate performance by lesbian man-imitators ? one thing about Clarke is she is not an ugly man-imitation. why the hell do i want to watch ugly and man-hating women ? Sharapova the tennis player was the highest paid athlete in the world for a while. guess why ? she was beautiful, talented and intelligent. get rid of these losers. America is tired of supporting jerks. really - and hello to the Phillipines. screw the CCP knuckleheads. i heard Marcos recently and he actually sounded sane and articulate. .... we can always hope.
BS, Personally and charisma. Clark can ball 🏀 simple. Clark is a great passer and scorer. And the Iowa team she played on is a transition team. A run and gun type of team. It is Clark style of play that have people watching. Not the way she looks nor her personality. That 80s type of ball the WNBA still plays is BORING. Relying on Bigs for excitement is relying on Boredom. Even the NBA went away from the bigs and made the NBA more guard friendly. The NBA got rid of the hand checking and Body checking the WNBA still allows. To makes the game more guard friendly. This is what the commentators DID NOT mention. Up the tempo in the W. Get them women into shape. Get rid of the hand checking and body checking. If I want to watch physicality as they put it I would watch football 🏈 I like basketball so I want to watch skill plays. Make the game flows better. And then we will see the end product. Caitlin Clark has prove this works.
@goodnessratedbeau8147 your comment is a hot take, and i agree nba evolved and this era of nba is existing. So should the WNBA and CC is the front runner.
@@ivancondeling9299 . They don’t want CC to succeed. They want the WNBA to stay just the way it is, a tax write off.
@@goodnessratedbeau8147the style the wnba plays is real basketball. All of that nonsense the NBA has done has ruined the game and the ratings. The NBA was at its highest popularity when it was real basketball in the 80's and 90's.
Only young casuals think no touch defense and a bunch of ill advised threes is entertaining, it's not real basketball and I don't even watch it anymore. I'll give the wnba respect for at least still letting them play real basketball which is supposed to involve defense which the NBA has removed along with rules like palming, carrying and traveling.
The NBA is a joke now. They've sacrificed real basketball for so called entertainment. If I wanted to watch AND1 Mixtape basketball then that's what I would watch. Even Steve Kerr said they've removed defense from the game last season but young casuals think that's good ball and their ratings have been in the trash for years now.
I honestly don't know how they're surviving. Casuals think real basketball with actual defense is boring. That's an entire generation of fans with ADD. So the wnba should change the rules so Caitlin a player that can only shoot threes offensively can score, that's weak. How about she works on a midrange game, driving left and her handles. Her best skill by far is passing but her turnovers are terrible.
If they're not making as much at the gate how can anybody afford to pay them more
Don't ask questions, just give them more money. 😂
Can’t wait for hoop reports to drop on gsw news and about klay and paul
CC already has a ruptured eardrum from one of those hits to the head.
Come on ……don’t be so soft!!!

the rest of the league sucks
@@mc76 Well tons of people only follow a team -- "their" team -- it's all they have time for. Unless they're retired and have time to watch a bunch of other teams as well. And where's the other WNBA teams' fanbase? It can't be all on the Fever fans to carry the other teams as well.

The WNBA was bordering on irrelevant. The only thing you ever heard from them was them carping about their pay gap (as if they warrant the same pay as nba players). Carlin Clark has brought all sorts of attention to the WNBA and is almost single handedly rescuing it from irrelevance.
Kawhi's creepy laugh featured throughout the video is hilarious.
These chicks never stepped into a math class in their lives. It's no revenue from 30 years of the wnba to share, its been a rich person's write off.
That's where you're wrong, and demonstrate that you don't understand basic accounting terms. You are mistaking 'revenue' - which simply means receipts - for 'profit'. The W has plenty of receipts - $tens of millions - it just doesn't have any operating profits.

Cc is the embodiment of real talent and entertainment
CC is also all about basketball. No off court drama about politics or pay, imterviews are about basketballl and are respectful, lets her playing do the talking and people are starting to listen. Buying tickets and watching the games. If the product is as good as they say it is, aka competitive exciting, veiwership will grow and the money will follow.
Exactly….she has said several times this is my job. No one should be preaching politics at their job.
I'm sorry but on camera and in game are different personalities. I don't agree with the classy take on CC, although I like her, I don't think classy is when you flop to get calls which has been proven and she talks just as much trash as any other player. Classy players just play the game and let it do the talking. Classiness is lost when you stoop to others' level that other people deem classless. Like aI said, I like her for her skills but not how the media over glorifies her.

Well what’s even sadder is no player in the league embraces her and is trying to mentor her or giving her advice. When they give advice to other rookies
Well, it's not like their previous advice has ever worked 💀
That’s because she’s straight and white.
Jealousy and pride are deadly combination.
For the very first time in my nearly 8 decades of life this NBA Superfan wants to attend a WNBA Game!!!
Caitlin is a phenom. More eyes and asses in seats. Drama is secondary to making mony
One problem: the eyes and asses only watch and sit for 40 of 480 games a year. Check out attendance and ratings for the other 440 games. The WNBA is still projected to lose $50 million this year. She's not the savior everyone wants her to be, mainly because her fans are her fans only. She sold out Climate Change Arena (18,000) last Thursday. Last night, the Storm drew 7,202 fans.
Now they promoting hate? Seriously? So bad that no one wants to watch this game anymore.
You should post Caitlins schedule, I'm down to watch that!
I watch Caitlin because she's FUN TO WATCH. Now that she has these toxic woke twatwaffles bullying her, I root for her even more.
💯. She's a great contrast to the whining "slay queens" of the league.
I love it when they say they want to be paid the same percentage of revenues. So you want to PAY to play basketball then? Because there are no revenues. The league is absolutely hemorrhaging money every single season...
The greater Caitlin becomes, the closer to Jordan and other greats she gets. This is the exact kind of adversity that builds goats.

Caitlin Clark is going to be in future Economic college books either a paragraph or a whole chapter called the Caitlin Clark Effect.
I tried to get interested in wnba before this year, but the play was AWFUL. Air-ball after air-ball.
It was comical.
It was like watching the Harlem Globetrotters, but both teams were the Washington Generals.
“The men need to ask US what WE feelin’”.
So typical of Gen Z. They deserve EVERYTHING just for showing up.

Gotta love the Kawhi Leonard laugh 😂
2:23 you’re talking promotion in that wig??? 🤣
He didnt ask u to dunk, he said lower the rim .. . Whaaaaaaaaa whaaaaaaa😢😢😢😢😢😢 😂😂😂
Clark also seems to be humble and a lot of people appreciate that.
Nobody really cares about that. MJ wasn't humble. People care about the spectacle of what she is doing. She's nowhere near the best player in the league right now, but she's good. What people care about, and why she is changing the sport, is HOW she is doing it.
The WNBA is a bunch of ladies who are playing the game the way average 15 year old boys can play the game. Oh sure, they are more skilled, the ladies that is, but they are also less athletic than those 15 year old boys. In short, they play non-explosive, below the rim basketball. That's not engaging for the masses.
Clark is playing in a way that very few people can play, at any level. She shoots from 30 feet, and in college she was shooting around 40% from beyond 3. THAT is engaging. THAT is a spectacle. THAT is something average HS boys can't and don't do. That is something most in the NBA don't do.
She found a way to play the game in manner that engages men. I watch basketball to watch superhuman stuff. Not to watch a women's team my HS boys basketball team would have beaten.
To the W players that admire CC, good for you, to the ones that want to bully her out of jealousy, you dipshits are biting the hand that feeds you.
Ik this clip wasn't in the video but Taurasi slighting Caitlin Clark's Olympics snub claiming that her 3 college nationals were what brought her there. Idk if she know this but that's called a team effort. MJ only won 1, Bron and Kobe never won one and yet they are top 10. How about this. Caitlin Clark is better right now than Diana Taurasi ever will be.
Dude Diana is disgusting 🤢
There is a pretty good reason that James and Bryant never won a college title.
@@mc76Common sense is no longer common. It's IMPOSSIBLE for Kobe and Bron to get a title from a place THEY NEVER ATTENDED 😂😂😂😂
@@jahsafety6the sarcasm went over your head. But not possible now for Kobe but LeBron still has eligibility!
As someone who didn't like the wnba due to lack of talent
They don't need lower rims I can live without the dunking or just the occasional dunks. What I can't deal with is the lack of talent
WNBA Possible Rule Changes: 1. Increase hoop diameter from 18" to 19.8". 2. Shrink court dimensions from 94' x 50' to 90' x 48'. 3. Air balls (no metal, no glass) count as one point.
Increase the diameter to to 100"
Number 3 is hilarious though, lol.
I love it!
🤣🤣🤣
Honestly they don't need to increase the hoop diameter. The ball is already smaller, and in fairness most shots hit the basket. Their are many excellent shooters in the league, some who I'd say are better than Caitlyn Clark, at least at this point in her career. Though I'd say Clark is possibly the best passer in the league. They harp on her high number of turnovers but that's because she's an aggressive passer and play-maker. But they should lower the rim so that they could dunk.
By far the only WNBA I watch is CCs game.
And that is precisely the problem. She can only play 40 games. That is not going to elevate the league at all.
If thats the only player you watch then you missing out on the actual good players
I’m so dead hearing Kwahi’s laugh. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
She projects modesty but confidence at the same time, she is an excellent passer, she never trash talks or tries to assign blame, she spends ALOT of time with her fans this all makes her likeable and her skills make her a superstar.
Bro the kawhi laugh gets me every time 😂😂
I thought that was Griners laugh 😂
It's sad that "top star" (bg)was a dude before CC came in
In the WNBA the ball is smaller , season is shorter , game time length is shorter , 3pt line and freethrow line is closer. They have no problem with any of those things but you say lower the rim and now we have a problem
I watched my first game the other day Fever Vs Phx and it was horrible. They looked like middle schoolers out there. Everyone running for the ball, everyone constantly pumping into each other. So many missed shots, rebounding was bad and the jumping is so weak. They need to lower the rim to like 7 feet forget 9feet.
The only reason I watched was for Caitlin Clark and it’s fun watching her break records.
She’s the league’s hope that it’s just gonna get better with time but she’s way ahead of all her teammates.
So many funny moments. I can't stop laughing.
MPJ is only one player, and what's funny is that in the 2023-34 season alone, he has made 49 dunks (59 adding in 10 from the playoffs) which is more than the WNBA All-Time amount of dunks which is still at 39. What makes him polarizing is that he's actually a good player, so he's exciting to watch regardless, WNBA skill level is nowhere near where it should be in general, and now they wanna crush the only person who truly is, CC.
"you look super human playing against 18 year olds but you're going to come play against some grown women who've been playing basketball for a long time" if you tried to make this argument in the NBA with many of the big stars who we have seen in college (those who have gotten the type of attention Caitlin ckark has received (e.g., Lebron James, victor w, anthony edwards, kobe bryant etc.)) you would be laughed off the show. Fans are talking about Caitlin clark the way they talk about lebron james and both of them are basically super heroes for their teams
Ya, and it was petty. So obvious.
But Diana was right, Caitlin didn't just come into the league and balling every game. She has been mid most of the year give or take a few big games
Racism against Caitlyn is insane with wnba players Almost Hate crime level.
It’s not racism. MJ got punked by jealous stars when he arrived. It’s not identical and race isn’t completely out of it, but the perfect storm is NIL riches of CC, new person getting more love than they all got combined, & a new employee in any new job who arrives this way feels wrong. It’s easy to judge. CC will win everybody over. A little bro or sis gets treated this way in most families in anything similar. This too shall pass.
You're delusional and her hype is completely race related.
That's so hyperbolic. If it's racism, why do other white players not seem to have any issues? Stewart, Ionescu, Plum, Martin, et al., seem to get along just fine with their teammates and opponents. I watched a Storm game last night, and after Jewell Loyd left the game at the end of the third quarter of a blowout, she spent the entire fourth quarter sitting with Nika Muhl, offering her suggestions and pointing out different nuances of the game until Kuhl finally entered the contest.
@@jrbkett Precisely. Veterans feel like rookies need to earn respect. Clark's fans (not Clark herself) thought she deserved it on day one because of her success at Iowa. College success doesn't mean squat to professional players.
@@jrbkettproblem is that it’s none of the other players fucking business how much NIL money she got or what endorsements she gets. She hasn’t done anything to affect them and if anything will ultimately and likely help these hateful bitches.
Does she realize at 8:17 she is asking to be given a six figure bill to continue playing? They would have to spend their entire salaries they've made to play for a few more years then be broke and not be able to afford to play. NBA needs to stop funding them for 1 season and show them how their business is doing.
I haven't watched a WNBA game before knowing about Caitlin Clark.
bro that laugh soundbite please keep using it
A question/remark from a non american viewer: does anyone find normal that Adam Silver said, in an interview he gave recently, that basically:
- it's good for Caitlin to be bullied
- and after all it's good for the business
I don't understand that coming from the commissioner. I feel a tendency to force permanently on story telling, drama and unnecessary violence.
The way medias are presenting the "duel" Reese/Clark is scary. Athletes are not marvel heroes. Sports are not hunger games or battle royale.
I am biased because in Europe recently, we had some criminal cases in sports industry, around money, jealousy and concurrency.
I think NBA and WNBA are playing with fire.
Caitlin finds herself in a sort of a brawl era, while playing in WNBA in 2024.
Why is she not protected by referees, are they deliberately spicing up the show with extra violence?
Maybe you're on to something. How about making it more like the Running man.
Ever seen the movie “Rollerball”?
It will just make her stronger.
Like Jordan did because of the Pistons.
@@J.J.J.J.J.J.J it's not the problem. The fact that the league itself is promoting bad behaviors is. Things happen on a basketball floor, ok, but promoting it as a necessary part of the show? And about strengthening her personality, I don't think that it's written anywhere in Caitlin's contract that WNBA is in charge of her "education"
@@peyop5262 Not what I said. I agree with you. However you can be weakened by these things (and complain like yourself and all the other WNBA players) or you can grow stronger from these things (like Caitlin and Jordan).
LAURI MARKKANEN WILL BE A WARRIOR. RING INCOMING 💍
If they can do that without giving up Kuminga, it's over.
@@HoopReportsDon't get to excited
Of course with curry, kaminga and lauri they are gonna be contenders
But saying it is over with teams like the timberwolves the thunder and Celtics feels a bit delusional
I hope you are right tho
@@HoopReports gp2 + looney multiple first round 1 the two second round picks. For lauri is possible. But the jazz gm will play hard ball. So moody and/or??? Jazz throw in Kessler.
Kawai! Kawai ! Kawai is the best part of this videooooo! 🤭🤣😂🤣😂
Commissioner can't see past her own nose. I don't know who gets to decide this, but they need a different commissioner. NBA Radio said months ago, if it was David Stern or even Adam Silver there would have been a league wide private memo saying, "Hey, I get the hate but she is literally saving our league so try to chill" Becky Hammond, all the all stars, the Olympic selection committee; lots of people taking missteps and lots of dropping the ball. Team USA could put a who set of the next 12 best players and will still take gold easily. CC will get gold, it's inevitable. But the could grow fans NOW.
First time meeting modern day feminists hu?
lowering the rim will affect the outside scoring, unlike shortening the 3 point line.
Ever put a hoop on a garage? It's not always regulation and yet somehow people adjust
Lower rim sounds good but would upset years of a players training. The adjustment would be awful.
It’d be worth it if they could dunk
That was my thought, and it certainly would have been a good argument against it. Now, doing anything that messes up CC's game is a no go.
She is carrying that entire league on her shoulders.
Can't wait on your next video dedicated for Klay :)
She’s likable, not toxic, she seems mature and nice.
She can score, she can pass (needs to improve and teammates needs to finish the pass, sometimes they can)
Klay is gone bro. Now what? Dynasty over?
I think so, unless the Warriors can land Giannis, somehow, someway. He’s our only hope.
Video dropping once a few more off season moves are finished
Ngl i dont indulge in the race war, I MEAN battle between the 2 W rookies(my bad) but it was definitely fun watching the fever wax Turasi and her team the other night 😂
OMG Kawai's laughter here is even more hilarious!
all these woman that talk bad about Caitlin..are super jeloeous ...Caitlin is feminine , sweet, and a badass in the game....no visible tattoos....no gossip....a true role model in today's society....a society that is super woke ..a society that have woman dressing like street walkers ....for the first time, I started watching this sport..and is because of her...I pray she continues inspiring new girls to be more like this..I also hope and pray she doesnt change.
Great comment on CC, and I would like to add , I pray and hope ,she doesn't get seriously hurt by these envious players and have to lose her for a season, that would be devastating.
I think the 4 point line would be better
Disqualify a player after 5 fouls and call offensive charging fouls. This will open up the game by reducing the physicality (read thuggish behavior) and let teams play uptempo basketball like the Fever.
