Agreed! It's funny you say that as I was thinking about it the other day. When I was growing up, as friends, we were savage to each other if we liked different players and teams. We used all kinds of words. But we were friends and never took it personal. Now, if you dislike a player or team as a fan, you must be this or that or have some sort of agenda or be a hater or an ist or ism. It's tiresome. I just want to be a fan and enjoy sports again.
@ChicksDigScarsPodcast you are so right. It just bugs me that certain groups of people are trying to take advantage of Caitlin . I hate the politics. She just kind to young fans and loves basketball . She's classic Iowa nice!
It's DEI at work here, call it what it is. They're ranking a rebounder ahead of a player who leads the entire offense , is top 20 in every category in the league and sets records every time she plays. They're compiling fictitious meaningless stats that favor Reese in order to prop her up.
You have to reach real deep to come up with stats that you never see anywhere. Apparently inside players score better on these ratings over guards. This is ESPN digging deep into their bag of tricks.
I hope so, but I think she is just resting her back and old bones. Lol I do think if Collier has what they say she will miss the Olympics. Being a forward and all the double doubles her replacement will probably be Reece. Also just to piss off all the Clark fans. Which I am one.
CAN’T BE 1 IF YOU ARE 6’4” AND CANT MAKE A LAY UP AND GET BLOCKED. SHE GETS HANDED 2 DOUBLE DOUBLES BY THE OTHER TEAM IN THE LAST SECONDS. ONLY CC IS MAKING AND BREAKING RECORDS. YES, CARDOSA LAYING LOW FOR REESE. DISGUSTING.
Angel Reese is undersized at 6”3 and she’s missing layups because she has 2 3 defenders on her back but yet she still manages to outwork and regain the rebounder
To me I think it was Caitlin saying enough of this BS I'm taking over this game in the 4th Qtr. I don't care what the coach thinks! But then Christy calls her time out to run a play for Mitchell who is 0 for 8 on 3-pointers. Takes Clark out on defense when she has 5 steals with 3 blocks and keeps '5 6" Mitchell in the game.
Why is the ESPN agenda not giving Caitlin her rightful claim to ROY??? Their bias for Reese is so obvious. Besides the jealousy I just don't get it. It is so unfair.
I think they’re just hyping it up so more people will watch, but still ridiculous. Caitlin Clark’s numbers are unbelievable. I saw a stat that said there’s been 11,000 double doubles but only 35 triple doubles in WNBA history. Says it all.
I’m literally so tired of them pushing angel down our throats. Not even mad just like tired and over it to the point where they aren’t even worth my time. Side note, it would be interesting to look at articles in years past of ROTY ratings through the season to see what stats they mention.
@@lntaylor69 I literally was thinking that now I know how ppl who don’t like cc feel lol even tho I don’t understand them lol (not saying in a mean way)
He was so shocked, he refused to mention that Angel Reese is number one according to ESPN ! We saw it whether you refuse to acknowledge it or not. ANGEL REESE #1 😂👍
You should analyze the Liberty game. Many missed layups and own rebounds. I counted 3. Make a case for Harrison 30 minutes, Cardozo 30 minutes, Reese 20 minutes. Reese 29% shooting, 1 assist, 1 blocked shot. Maybe just a bad game. Would like to see a professional analysis of the game.
We the people know. We will remember if Reece gets ROTY over CC. Reece will always be remembered as the DEI winner. And In a mostly black league. This new world just can't be normal anymore.
That’s an insult to Roberto Duran. He’s an all time great, HOF champion. I sincerely doubt that Angel will amount to much of a player. I’ve watched her play, and it’s more like Angel is a permanent sparring partner. They used to call them “tomato cans”. Maybe she’s better than she appears on the court. But, it’s not something I would watch anymore.
I noticed a story from an LA News station this morning--they listed five games and were claiming that in every game players were setting records. It all seemed manufactured and silly.
i was watching the sky vs liberty game... and man the whole reason the sky plays feels like its to help reese get her double double. 4 minutes left into the 4th quarter reese had 6 rebounds. she got 1 legit rebound and 3 egregious offensive rebounds. 2 out of her own misses right under the basket and one after harisson with 1.5 minute left throws a weird airball directly to reeses hands, she then turned it over but she had her double double! then she got benched for the remaining time.
Yeah, ESPN is wondering why they’re having issues with people paying attention to their channel. Everybody knows they’re going total woke and not just reporting to sports facts anymore so they don’t care to watch it anymore. Otherwise they won’t be losing the NFL contract and others that have happened, and if I were in the NBA or WNBA I’d walk away from that let them put on all their shows of people just talking and actually covering sports🙉🙊🙈😎
For those who still don’t believe Sky is not helping Reese in stat padding, there’s a clip of Chennedy Carter admitting that she was going to let the clock run down on that possesion vs Atlanta but she saw Reese and Coach Tspoon telling her to pass the ball to Reese for the double-double so she did.
WNBA stats have Wilson at 12 rebounds per game & Reese at 11.9. ESPN has just the opposite. ESPN has CC & Reese tied for steels per game, 1.5. Wnba has CC a head 1.5- 1.4. CC is leading Reese in every stat but rebounds & way more & more impressive rookie & wnba records. ESPN is a woke joke. Reese is shooting a pathetic 40.2% from 4' out. CC has a 19.6 efficiency to Reese's 19. According to wnba stats.
The people who vote for Rookie of the Year are a group of 60 sportswriters (media). Pretty sure their other friends in the media have blown this ROTY race out of proportion, hyping Reese, in order to try and lessen the backlash for when they actually vote Angel Reese as ROTY. It has become to big a story with too many pundits doing statistical gymnastics in order to justify their blatant bias, all at the same time. This story is already written and they are just trying to figure out how to minimize the blowback.
I don't know.....there are people who have already put a good deal of money down and Clark is so far ahead...there would be a lot of people not happy with losing money based on media BS. Until I see the betting lines change significantly....Clark is still like a 85% lock to win...people who place big money usually don't bet emotionally
ROTY, other than excellent basketball skills, does this award consider attitude, behavior on and off the court, community service, etc. if the ROTY award does, Ms. Reese has fallen short in my eyes. The WNBA has maturity issues.
Angel is a hustle work hard player and every team needs one. But hustle players do whatever they can to make up for their lack of talent in areas of Angel's game! She needs to keep working and playing hard to help her team, for her it's also to stay relevant. This is why ESPN always say Angel plays so hard and she has this double double streaks still going! Because that's all she has but I do think she will get better but Clark is just on another level but for some reason they think WNBA's new fans will stick around if they give the ROTY to Reese. Which I think Clark fans will have seen enough if that happens!
Just the fact ESPN would entertain putting this clap trap nonsense on the airwaves is ludicrous and destroys any credibility they may have had. Here is the winshare stat that counts and actually means something. Up until yesterday, the Fever had won 4 more games than they had won last year at the same time. The Sky had lost one more game than they had last year. That's a 5 game swing. 4 wins added for the Fever 1 win less for the Sky. So, who has had the most significant impact again? Finally recovering a blocked shot is not a rebound like she was credited with in the Minnesota game. How many others has she been given under the radar?
Who is making these rankings and what drugs are they taking? There is Caitlin Clark, by a mile, and then waaaaaaaay down in 2nd place, we should see Reese.
Phenomenal breakdown. I would add only one thing. If her team could rebound, her run the floor Showtime Magic Lakers style, whether she shoots or passes, would theoretically at least, lead to more possessions per game, which in addition to the sheer number of assists per game she is racking up of late, easily offset her TOV’s. Let’s take a recent low number, 10 assists minus 5 TOV’s = net 5 assists, more than most guards pure assists per game numbers, now add the seven seconds or less style of play, and add the number of extra possessions, and you now have an advanced stat that I just made up, but is real, and a more effective measurement to add to the rest of her game, including the eye test. ☑️👌😎 JP
Ha! Absolutely! I touched on the more possessions somewhere when I was saying CC needs at least 18-22 shots per game. I said it wouldn't really take away any shots from others because they need to run more, which means more possessions (and no more of those ridiculous shot clock violations). Assists - TO + Dropped Passes * Missed Layups / Avg Poss Time + Team ShotsTaken = CC Is MVP
@@ChicksDigScarsPodcast 100% agreed, like I said. 🤣🤣🤣 Btw, AR, 2 of 7 from point blank I assume, a llllliiiiittle bit worse than 2 of 7 from the logo. 🤣🤣🤣😎 JP
Rickea Jackson is better than Reese..by far. She just goes about business like Clark and doesn't say anything. She's a great SG.....but because she's not a self promoter you don't hear much about her......I wish Indiana would trade Mitchell, Smith and Wheeler as a package deal for just her.
Altho Mitchell is a flamethrower... she doesn't really contribute in any other way if it doesnt involve shooting the ball. She doesn't sleep defensively, but she aint really good at it. She doesn't share the rock or got any court vision at all. She is too small to rebound She is a bad fit for a team like the fever right now.
Question: What is up with the rampant traveling in the WNBA? The first fever game I watched earlier this year it was almost unwatchable. Run and travel, miss the shot rinse and repeat. CC still managed to light it up but was hamstrung by her coach all game till the 4th quarter when she broke loose. That kept me watching. But the traveling still is unbearable. If you watch highlights half of them are traveling to the lay up. Do they give women 3 step more? Seriously it is driving me nuts. Grade school kids don't travel that much and they don't get paid to play.
REESE is the goat...no I mean a goat.....go read tonight's fourth quarter for Chicago v New York ....hahahaha Reese had 5 rebounds going to the fourth...and she literally MISSED THREE LAYUPS IN A ROW AND REBOUNDED HER MISSES and finally got her 10th rebound in a 15 point loss! Hahahaha once again...Chicago sacrifices a possible win to attempt to get Reese her double double 😂😂😂😂😂 following the script to a T.....Reese is just becoming comical
ESPN and their anti-Clark bias WNBA Rookie Records and Leaders - Reese leads Clark only in these three Stats Rebounds Per Game; Reese # 1 (11.9), Clark # 4 (5.9) Total Rebounds; Reese # 1 (280), Clark # 2 (136) Steals Per Game; Reese # 1 (1.6), Clark # 2 (1.5) IWNBA Rookie Records and Leaders - Reese is not in any of the top five stats for Rookies and leads Clark only in three Stats 1) Points Per Game; Clark # 1 (16.7), Reese # 2 (14), 2) Points; Clark # 1 (384), Reese # 2 (293) 3) Assists Per Game; Clark # 2 (7.6) , Reese # 4 (1.9), 4) Assists; Clark # 2 (175), Reese # 5 (39), 5) Steals; Clark # 1 (35), Reese # 2 (33), 6) Blocks Per Game; Clark # 4 (0.9), Reese # 5 (0.4), 7) Blocks; Clark # 2 (20), Resse not on the list, 8) Field Goal Pct; Clark # 4 (39.79) Reese not on List, 9)3-Pt Field Goal Pct; Clark # 4 (34.21) Reese not on List, 10) Free Throw Pct; Clark # 1 (89.00) Reese # 2 (75.22), 11) Turnovers Per Game; Reese # 4, ( 1.8), Clark # 1 (5.5) 12) Turnovers; Reese #4 (38), Clark # 1 (127)
There's no comparison except they're both clutch and game. Boston is lacking fundamentals similar to Reese. They got by with size and athleticism and it's more obvious now that gap has narrowed playing with and versus pros. I hope they all team up to bust up the haters in the All-Star game.
I would like to put forward all of my reasons as to why Reese deserves the ROTY Award and that if you deep dive into the stats it is open and shut. WNBA Rookie Records and Leaders My first point is that Reese is not in any of the top five stats for Rookies and as shown below leads Clark only in 3 of the 15 Stats, it is on that basis that I believe Reese's with those 3 stats should win the ROTY Award. 1) Rebounds Per Game; Reese # 1 (11.9), Clark # 4 (5.9) 2) Total Rebounds; Reese # 1 (280), Clark # 2 (136) 3) Steals Per Game; Reese # 1 (1.6), Clark # 2 (1.5) Because Clark only leads Reese in these Twelve Stats and Clark is in the Top Five stats for Rookies, it is my view that as a result, of only leading Reese in these 12 stat Reese should win the ROTY 1) Points Per Game; Clark # 1 (16.7), Reese # 2 (14), 2) Points; Clark # 1 (384), Reese # 2 (293) 3) Assists Per Game; Clark # 2 (7.6), Reese # 4 (1.9), 4) Assists; Clark # 2 (175), Reese # 5 (39), 5) Steals; Clark # 1 (35), Reese # 2 (33), 6) Blocks Per Game; Clark # 4 (0.9), Reese # 5 (0.4), 7) Blocks; Clark # 2 (20), Resse not on the list, 8) Field Goal Pct; Clark # 4 (39.79) Reese not on List, 9)3-Pt Field Goal Pct; Clark # 4 (34.21) Reese not on List, 10) Free Throw Pct; Clark # 1 (89.00) Reese # 2 (75.22), 11) Turnovers Per Game; Reese # 4, ( 1.8), Clark # 1 (5.5) 12) Turnovers; Reese #4 (38), Clark # 1 (127)
How is it that one person gets to make up the list of who the best rookie is. Shouldn't it be a panel of people from different aspects of life. Maybe 5 reporters from 5 different companies and another 5 from the WNBA and the 10 fans. and maybe 5 NBA players, Just asking.
Angel Reese is a bad defender what about the great white hope Caitlin Clark she gets destroyed by all the good guards she can’t move her feet. Clark Ranks 132 out of 138 qualified players in the WNBA defensive win shares
A new attendance record was set at the Barclays last night in the Liberty/Sky game. 17,735 in attendance. When it was announced That Reese had gotten her 15th consecutive double-double, she received a standing ovation! CC was not in attendance, or within 8 area-codes. Be a part of history and go to the games and save those stubs. You'll be able to prove that you saw a part of "The Streak" in person!
Hey Chicks Digs Scars, do you have an email address that you don't mind sharing? If so, I will send you a link to view the entire ESPN article, since I can't post it here.
I'll put a throwaway in my about info on the channel. I wish YT had a message system like Twitter, FB, IG, etc. I just don't want to get a ton of email spam. And thanks!
@@ChicksDigScarsPodcast If you prefer instead, I can copy and paste the the info for AR and CC here. I understand why you may be hesitant to post your email
Nobody has a gun on Clark telling her to keep taking long shots that she usually misses. Your excuses are stupid. Tell Clark to drive the ball more to the basket. Watch her get blocked often ! 😂
Kelsey Mitchell is better than Clark. She's more dependable on clutch shots. She's quicker, plays better defense and she drives the ball more to the basket ! She also has a great 3 point shot !
Don't waste your time. He comments all the time! I had a good laugh when he called me jealous while he was posting like his fifth comment in 30 seconds. 😂😅
If fans say Reese is better, it's OK. They're fans.
If sports analysts say Reese is better, they're either incompetent or they're propagandists.

@ChicksDigScarsPodcast you are so right. It just bugs me that certain groups of people are trying to take advantage of Caitlin . I hate the politics. She just kind to young fans and loves basketball . She's classic Iowa nice!
I saw ESPN headline: Reese *surges* to #1 rookie spot 😂😂😂
Hilarious…at least the WNBA has Caitlin at number 1. They have a new Rookie Stats feature in the WNBA App…I think they are pretty right on.
It's DEI at work here, call it what it is. They're ranking a rebounder ahead of a player who leads the entire offense , is top 20 in every category in the league and sets records every time she plays. They're compiling fictitious meaningless stats that favor Reese in order to prop her up.
Putting "equality " and equal outcomes above true merit and outcomes. It's disgusting.
You have to reach real deep to come up with stats that you never see anywhere. Apparently inside players score better on these ratings over guards. This is ESPN digging deep into their bag of tricks.
Angel Reese is a one trick pony. She will never be any more than that.
She can add more if she gets the help and puts in the work. Just improving layups ....of course that kills her ORBs

No. She will probably sit out tomorrow against the Fever. Probably will play in the All-Star Game a little bit.
She will still go and just ride the bench or play a few min

LETS TAKE AWAY HER MISSED SHOTS FOR REBOUNDS
Caitlin clark is the best female basketball player in the world
They sure am doing their best to stop CC from getting anything. Team player ought to count rather than ball hogging.
You should analyze the Liberty game. Many missed layups and own rebounds. I counted 3. Make a case for Harrison 30 minutes, Cardozo 30 minutes, Reese 20 minutes. Reese 29% shooting, 1 assist, 1 blocked shot. Maybe just a bad game. Would like to see a professional analysis of the game.
You know it's prejudice against CC223D when it's clearly anyone but CC223D.
She shot 29% FG, and got 10pts 10reb. She's trying so hard every game to pad those stats.
As of 7/12, Clark leads Reese in 10 of 15 traditional stats (Clark 23 games, Reese 22). Stats per game led by each player...
Clark: PTS 16.7 FGM 5.0 3PM 2.8 3P% 34.2% FTM 3.9 FT% 89.0% AST 7.6 *STL 1.5 BLK 0.9 (2X😮)* TD3 1
Reese: FG% 41.1% REB 11.8 TOV 1.8 DD2 "16" 😉 +/- -5.1
We the people know. We will remember if Reece gets ROTY over CC. Reece will always be remembered as the DEI winner. And In a mostly black league. This new world just can't be normal anymore.
Dude... thanks for esplaining all these stats to me. I'm trying to keep up, but struggling!

Altho Mitchell is a flamethrower... she doesn't really contribute in any other way if it doesnt involve shooting the ball.
She doesn't sleep defensively, but she aint really good at it.
She doesn't share the rock or got any court vision at all.
She is too small to rebound
She is a bad fit for a team like the fever right now.
I got an idea. Lets add a stat for professionalism and see what happens.
Question: What is up with the rampant traveling in the WNBA? The first fever game I watched earlier this year it was almost unwatchable. Run and travel, miss the shot rinse and repeat. CC still managed to light it up but was hamstrung by her coach all game till the 4th quarter when she broke loose. That kept me watching. But the traveling still is unbearable. If you watch highlights half of them are traveling to the lay up. Do they give women 3 step more? Seriously it is driving me nuts. Grade school kids don't travel that much and they don't get paid to play.
REESE is the goat...no I mean a goat.....go read tonight's fourth quarter for Chicago v New York ....hahahaha Reese had 5 rebounds going to the fourth...and she literally MISSED THREE LAYUPS IN A ROW AND REBOUNDED HER MISSES and finally got her 10th rebound in a 15 point loss! Hahahaha once again...Chicago sacrifices a possible win to attempt to get Reese her double double 😂😂😂😂😂 following the script to a T.....Reese is just becoming comical
Hahahha, "No other things that other w players think of trying". Teammates attempted the last game and it didn't go so well. 😂
ESPN and their anti-Clark bias

As soon as you said this is the guy who ranked CB as number 1, I lost interest.
Look up the medias backgrounds. Similar and serious old world grudges
There's no comparison except they're both clutch and game. Boston is lacking fundamentals similar to Reese. They got by with size and athleticism and it's more obvious now that gap has narrowed playing with and versus pros. I hope they all team up to bust up the haters in the All-Star game.
Bottom line…many people in the media and fans are not watching all the games are driving a lot of the conversation.
clark for mvp
Do a analysts with Stephen curry and draymond in comparison with CC and AR.
I would like to put forward all of my reasons as to why Reese deserves the ROTY Award and that if you deep dive into the stats it is open and shut.
WNBA Rookie Records and Leaders
My first point is that Reese is not in any of the top five stats for Rookies and as shown below leads Clark only in 3 of the 15 Stats, it is on that basis that I believe Reese's with those 3 stats should win the ROTY Award.
1) Rebounds Per Game; Reese # 1 (11.9), Clark # 4 (5.9)
2) Total Rebounds; Reese # 1 (280), Clark # 2 (136)
3) Steals Per Game; Reese # 1 (1.6), Clark # 2 (1.5)
Because Clark only leads Reese in these Twelve Stats and Clark is in the Top Five stats for Rookies, it is my view that as a result, of only leading Reese in these 12 stat Reese should win the ROTY
1) Points Per Game; Clark # 1 (16.7), Reese # 2 (14),
2) Points; Clark # 1 (384), Reese # 2 (293)
3) Assists Per Game; Clark # 2 (7.6), Reese # 4 (1.9),
4) Assists; Clark # 2 (175), Reese # 5 (39),
5) Steals; Clark # 1 (35), Reese # 2 (33),
6) Blocks Per Game; Clark # 4 (0.9), Reese # 5 (0.4),
7) Blocks; Clark # 2 (20), Resse not on the list,
8) Field Goal Pct; Clark # 4 (39.79) Reese not on List, 9)3-Pt Field Goal Pct; Clark # 4 (34.21) Reese not on List, 10) Free Throw Pct; Clark # 1 (89.00) Reese # 2 (75.22), 11) Turnovers Per Game; Reese # 4, ( 1.8), Clark # 1 (5.5) 12) Turnovers; Reese #4 (38), Clark # 1 (127)
Oops… Clark now leads Reese in total steals and steals per game. Now Reese has rebounds… that it.
@@MH-lk8md Clark leads her in everything
How is it that one person gets to make up the list of who the best rookie is. Shouldn't it be a panel of people from different aspects of life. Maybe 5 reporters from 5 different companies and another 5 from the WNBA and the 10 fans. and maybe 5 NBA players, Just asking.
She deserves number 2 under ROTY Angel Reese 👍
lol… casual take.
@@MH-lk8md you’ve never watched a single wnba game until the day cc and Angel were drafted. You don’t even know what a casual is smh
@@MH-lk8md casual take….shared by all the voters at espn… 🤷🏾 even on this very video. I’m being kind giving her the 2 spot tbh
Cardozo is not TWs pet.
Maybe if she fixed her turnovers 🫡
Angel Reese is a bad defender what about the great white hope Caitlin Clark she gets destroyed by all the good guards she can’t move her feet.
Clark Ranks 132 out of 138 qualified players in the WNBA defensive win shares
Clark leads all rookies in blocks and steals…. As a point guard… but yeah…. Bad on defense. Sure.
A new attendance record was set at the Barclays last night in the Liberty/Sky game. 17,735 in attendance. When it was announced That Reese had gotten her 15th consecutive double-double, she received a standing ovation! CC was not in attendance, or within 8 area-codes. Be a part of history and go to the games and save those stubs. You'll be able to prove that you saw a part of "The Streak" in person!
Another hater with no clue about bball!
Angel Reese is ranked No 1. Deal with it & quit your yabba yabba!
She’s ranked number 1 based on feelings alone because the stats don’t support the opinion.
IS ANTONIO BROWN #1 ?
Nobody gets more shots blocked at the rim as Clark.
Hey Chicks Digs Scars, do you have an email address that you don't mind sharing? If so, I will send you a link to view the entire ESPN article, since I can't post it here.
I'll put a throwaway in my about info on the channel. I wish YT had a message system like Twitter, FB, IG, etc. I just don't want to get a ton of email spam. And thanks!
@@ChicksDigScarsPodcast If you prefer instead, I can copy and paste the the info for AR and CC here. I understand why you may be hesitant to post your email
Nobody has a gun on Clark telling her to keep taking long shots that she usually misses. Your excuses are stupid. Tell Clark to drive the ball more to the basket. Watch her get blocked often ! 😂
Her efg% is ten points higher than Reese. Deal with it.
Keep dreaming. Indiana will finish behind Chicago Sky. They can't even beat the worst team...😂
Reese hands down.

Kelsey Mitchell is better than Clark. She's more dependable on clutch shots. She's quicker, plays better defense and she drives the ball more to the basket ! She also has a great 3 point shot !
Don't waste your time. He comments all the time! I had a good laugh when he called me jealous while he was posting like his fifth comment in 30 seconds. 😂😅
@@ChicksDigScarsPodcast oh, ok…lol. Thanks!😊
Kelsey Mitchell was 0-8 for 3 point shots in the last Mystics game, including the last _"clutch"_ shot. 🙄
@@Raiders33 😂😂😂
Why are you people so jealous and such crybabies ? 😂
Video is way too long!
Nonsense.
And she has more missed shots than Reese 🤣🤣🤣
F ESPN!
So ESPN is wrong?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well… demonstrably… yes.
