Taurasi is a bit of a fossil, she started her narrative while commentating during March Madness. It seemed odd that Taurasi had such a stance on a young player, in retrospect it feels like she was building a narrative for CC to be left off. Really CC is not talking about it, these women should let it go. At this point I am actually happy CC is not on the olympic team, these women are toxic, it will be better for CC to go in as a leader the next go around and let this team do what ever they are going to do. It is sad that they all feel the need to bully a young player in the media, when that player is just trying to ball.
Good point. And, she is fourth on the list, for all players, this year Tied with Stewart, for blocks per game average. And, 90%, from free- throw line. .
@@monimoni305Except the fact of the matter is they would sacrifice nothing putting Clark on the team. Stats show shed play as well as any other G on the team
@@monimoni305DT isnât the best at her position and shouldnât be on the team. I donât care that CC isnât on it, moreso the lack of consistency in the narrative around it from the players. There are probably 6-7 better guards than DT
No. Britany Griner should NOT be on the team. She played one game. She has a broken toe. She carried illegal substances to Russia (illegal for the WNBA, too), was sentenced to 9 years in prison, US had a prisoner exchange to get her home. She said publically she would never stand for the anthem, and stayed in the locker room. She should be ineligible to represent team USA. Everyone knows Caitlyn deserved it for what she brought to the league. Plus a great opportunity for her to learn. But the Dianaâs and Aâjas are so jealous of a 22 year old rookies success that they cited 1) fan distraction, 2) WNBA schedule would have her miss a couple practices (remember Britney isnât even playing) , 3) her fans wonât understand her limited playing, and 4) some other girls on the team didnât want her. I kid you not. Those were THE reasons they actually used to justify keeping her off the team. In my opinion, you put her on, take Britney off, and replace anyone who has a problem with it - even the coach.

Taurasi is too worried about her rookie records going down... As for the Olympic team, stat wise she is one of the top ten guards... Draw wise for viewing she is top dog.... Taurasi said the player have to gel and get along... in that case Clark definitely does not fit in with these jealous bitter women...
The reason why the media is always asking these players and coaches about Clark is because they are hoping for a sound bite that will stir the pot so they get the views.
We finally see that the WNBA is basically the modern version of 1950s female roller derby with all the dirty play and cat-fighting. If Caitlin is smart she'll leave for Europe after this season and get away from this poison, that may also leave her with career-ending injuries. Then the WNBA will be back to the zero fan interest that they deserve.
AGREED. much as I'd miss Caitlin Clark, i wouldn't blame her for leaving! her Nike deal would go south, though, because she'd lose all that coverage and it would affect her brand.. and then all these haters would say 'she couldn't cut it' to spin it just to be right.. long as she stays she'll continue to silence the doubters

Caitlin Clark is breathtaking and very fascinating to watch. Her demeanor speaks for it. She is very humble and professional. She is a great role model to the kids.
Big difference when the person you leave off the team is the NCAA Women's and Men's scoring records holder, and about 20 more records that she's broken...BIG DIFFERENCE!!! Not to mention the 2 million plus fans she has following her.

media is always the problem. players need to remain neutral like Caitlin and just play. as soon as the talk dies down the game will get more interesting and entertaining - but we all know this is how the media survives and thrives.đ
Clark didn't deserve to make the US Olympic team despite the hundreds of thousands of white middle aged MAGA men who claim otherwise. If they stopped just a second to not worship their ringless deity they might realize Clark is actually mostly an inefficient turnover machine and not even the best player on her team, let alone top 20 in the league. Taurasi is superior even at 42 years old and always has been with multiple rings on every level, years of international success (including 6 Euroleague titles), and is an easy choice to make the team yet again in spite of the whining of casual Clark crybabies everywhere.
Taurasi was on the Olympic team, without international experience. On her first Olympics playing. So, other players without that experience should be added, too. A rule change needs to be made, by the Wnba. There are players in the Wnba who have higher free-throw averages. And, higher scoring averages, per attempts . Then players, on the team
The rule change would help players who have been playing, in the first 10 games of this basketball season. If the other players start after that, the current players who put minutes and games in could play. The players who were added the last week of the list, were already considered over every other player. But, even players with higher stats don't get on the team. They only want Team USA basketball or Olympic experience. Players McBride, Min, number one in 3-pointers or Hamby, L A, second n the league in rebounds have to wait, until they get experience required. And, didn't get on the team. But , they can play on the All-Star game, in July. đđ
Taurasi is a first generation college graduate. Her family is from Argentina. Catlin played in Argentina đŠđ·, Hungary and Thailand while in High School. Nancy Libermann should know how this works.

This new fan base is exciting thank you for growing the league that Caitlin is a box office attraction sheâs smashing tv ratings and attendance records too bad sheâs not representing our country in the Olympics â€
What a lot of people are forgetting is two things...1, CC is not that upset about it, she is taking it in stride. 2.Which leads to #1, CC has been playing and practicing since probably last Sept. She needs the time off and try to get set for her current job.... that is being a pro bballer.
Diana didnât say Caitlin wasnât good enough, you mustâve wanted her to say that so bad, thatâs what you heard. Thereâs a bunch of players good enough, thatâs just who they chose. Iâm glad a little that CC ainât going this time. Sheâll get there!!!
There has been a lot of talk about CC not making the Olympic Team. I wonder if any the players who did make the list were worried if CC makes the list who has to sit on the sidelines and watch from the bleachers. One of the most important things that come to my mind with CC and proves that she is a player with class is that she has not spoken about not making the team. She is not the one complaining about hard knocks and negative remarks towards her. There are times when not reacting is what pisses the haters off more than anything. Her reaction is to continue to play hard and do what she does giving it her best, and not caving in.
So either sheâs saying they canât play as a team with her because either A. They refuse to play nicely with her or B. They would rather take people they have played with before (this is the most generous interpretation I can make).
Nah. This is a bs interpretation and just a drama post video. This commentary from Taurasi is 100% accurate and no shade at all. Which is in stark contrast from the previous garbage commentary she made about her own inclusion as a rookie and the "three championships" comment, which was absolutely shade and not even a good argument.
Giving up on the best players narrative it is now the best fit. Well some people don't fit because they made sure to create enough negative energy to make them a bad fit. From: Top 12, plus legacy, plus experience, plus chemistry, plus can handle tough internationals, plus went to camp (that was scheduled during NCAA tournament). To: Best fit, plus legacy, plus experience, plus chemistry, plus can handle tough internationals, plus went to camp (that was scheduled during the NCAA tournament).
NO one in the media has mentioned the fact that Taurasi made the Olympic team her rookie year. It has also been the case, about 50/50 that the number one WNBA draft pick makes the Olympic team on an Olympic year. Also sir Charles did make the Dream Team for the 92 Olympic team. and Isiah was kept off by Jordan. Go do some research for crying out loud. Ask the Dang Google!!!
Also Isiah was kept off because he was seen as the ring leader of the bad boy Pistons. They really made enemies in the league. So politics does play a role in your selection, I'm not a huge CC fan, but I do feel bad for CC. She has been excluded through no fault of her own, but because the media hype pissed off the vets in the WNBA
The committee already said "They didn't want the distraction." From a business standpoint it was awful. Your league sucks financially and you miss the opportunity to expose the world to something to market. Emotions....if you can't check them you are not mature or of sound mind.
Sabrina is on the Olympic team, who ,imo, is just better version of what CC is, right now. We have 2 Curry'esque players in the league and Sabrina is just more adept. She's a seasoned player of the Pro League league and has adjusted her game to the league. Sabrina's worked on her defense this season, her movement without the ball is better, she makes screens for her team mates on offense, and can create her own shot. CC has good passes and a Logo shot, and?
I think in the long run not being on the team this go around will help CC. Might give her an extra bit of motivation and more importantly give her some rest. She's been going non stop since the NCAA's.
"The surge of interest in the WNBA is not about Caitlin Clark." The closest WNBA team to me is in Arlington. I could get tickets for their next home games for $16 (vs Minnesota), $16 (Phoenix), $20 (Atlanta, 4th of July weekend), or $21 (Los Angeles). Even tickets for the champs the last two years (Las Vegas) are an easy $30. Or, I could wait until the next time Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are in town. On a Wednesday in the middle of July. Cheapest available ticket: $105
The Wnba should step- in, next time, and change or make a new rule. If a player's current percentages scored, minutes and games played is higher this year, than the other players, last year, the new players should be added. McCowan and Siegrist, Dal, both have 55.3% and a 52.2% scoring average, per game. McBride, top for 3-pointers, and 91.5% average for free-throws Magrebor, Sea, 91.5% for free-throws The decision to add extra players was after 10 games played, I believe. Adding players that weren't playing for 10 games or more shows that the other two ,who weren't playing, were already selected. Before the season began. Because, the season wasn't counted at all, for players with minutes and 10 games played.
I actually think she was saying putting the best "TEAM" and I believe most of the players would not accept her as a teammate so it wouldn't be about building a team. I think she should be on there, but I don't think that was what Diana Taurasi saying.
There is precedence that Geno and others have forgottenâŠ. Three of the four WNBA rookies since 1996 that were put Team USA were UConn players and they were not one of the 12 best on the team. The one not from UConn was Candace Parker who was later snubbed.. You watch the 96 team USA documentary and see how Lobo struggled. And Arike told one of the podcasts recently that she withdrew her name two months ago bcuz of the politics of that selection. Sadly, folks are fussing about the new fans they desperately need, not looking at this year as a business opportunity to grow the league and get more eyes on team USA.. The W leadership and its players both current and former will be who folks will place blame to when the dust settles and the revenues flatten back down to previous years. This rookie class is a part of your league and they are bringing their fans from college with them. And this league has done nothing to prepare for it and to embrace it. Especially the players. You donât see the drama around Wemby in the NBA like you seeing here. Thatâs because David Stern groomed Adam Silver to run the NBA as a business and entertainment entity and not base it on merit, feelings, and rookie hazing.. And if this league and women supporters donât think men should be telling their stories or how to run their business, then tap into the best and brightest businesswomen for guidance. Nobody is talking about that. You can Google the top businesswomen in this country and find themâŠ. But there is an underlying problem here that is one or all of the things that have been said over the last several weeks. Who is going to woman enough to put ego and pride aside to acknowledge it and then fix it????
This is like if Jordan didn't make the team. And tell that dude we do not have to respect anything they did. I think Clark is a player that just wants to play basketball in a league that cares more about pushing social issues.

Cameron Brinks done for the season
Clark didn't deserve to make the US Olympic team despite the hundreds of thousands of white middle aged MAGA men who claim otherwise. If they stopped just a second to not worship their ringless deity they might realize Clark is actually mostly an inefficient turnover machine and not even the best player on her team, let alone top 20 in the league. Taurasi is superior even at 42 years old and always has been with multiple rings on every level, years of international success (including 6 Euroleague titles), and is an easy choice to make the team yet again in spite of the whining of casual Clark crybabies everywhere.
It's over she didn't make it ,move on.
Taurasi was on the Olympic team, without international experience. On her first Olympics playing.
So, other players without that experience should be added, too.
A rule change needs to be made, by the Wnba.
There are players in the Wnba who have higher free-throw averages. And, higher scoring averages, per attempts . Then players, on the team
Caitlin has 3 gold medals from her own international experience. Just sayin'...
The wnba has no say in what the Olympic committee does đ đ đ
Correct. That's why any player can go from the wnba, if the Olympic chooses.
@@MikC-hu6ld then why do you say a rule change needs to be made by the wnba??
The rule change would help players who have been playing, in the first 10 games of this basketball season.
If the other players start after that, the current players who put minutes and games in could play.
The players who were added the last week of the list, were already considered over every other player.
But, even players with higher stats don't get on the team.
They only want Team USA basketball or Olympic experience.
Players McBride, Min, number one in 3-pointers or Hamby, L A, second n the league in rebounds have to wait, until they get experience required. And, didn't get on the team.
But , they can play on the All-Star game, in July.

W needs to embrace attention, as W earned through CC, as part of the daily sports conversation nowadays
Taurasi is a first generation college graduate. Her family is from Argentina. Catlin played in Argentina đŠđ·, Hungary and Thailand while in High School. Nancy Libermann should know how this works.
If these vets weren't asked about Catlin I don't think they would talk about her at all.
Try to say Ionescu again, please. If youâre covering the league her name is worth knowing. Especially after her 3 point contest with Steph
I would love to see Clark on the court the same time as Gray and Stewart. The chemistry would be amazing!
This is an old interview June 11 versus June 19 - are you sure you are not fanning flames needlessly by reheating the interview and implying that it is new?
Exactly. This whole video was a reach. I guess itâs for clicks and very and like you said fanning flames. Nothing wrong with what any of them had to say. Smh
If you look at the majority of his videos, theyâre all reaches. Heâs not really a fan of the game. Heâs just stirring the pot and trying to get clicks
You should know by now that is how this channel operates đ đ
Loneski? Bro lol. it's an "i" not an "L" and it's pronounced "Ya-nes-kew". And from your last video, Lynx is not "Linux", it's pronounced "Links".
You forgot that he mispronounced copper as well. I wonder why...đ€
@@bwill3337 Didn't catch that one. Was probably typing while he was talking. Plus he mispronounces the majority of most words lol. Hard to catch them all
@@JuanHughJorgan đ€Łhe doesđ€Ł. But if you've been watching the w, it's pretty hard to miss who Kahlea Copper is. She's been on a roll. 5 straight 30+ point games. Now if he mispronounced Ogunbuwale, ok I get itđ€Ł.
@@bwill3337 Hahaha true true. I went back and watched it and saw the "Cooper" line lmfao. I was definitely typing during that, good catch!
You said it all... can't argue with anything you said
I remember the Barclay situation and there was a lot of head scratching - it may not have been an international venture but it was big deal.
Diana Taurusi will be remembered more for her JEALOUSY than her immense accomplishments on the court.
This new fan base is exciting thank you for growing the league that Caitlin is a box office attraction sheâs smashing tv ratings and attendance records too bad sheâs not representing our country in the Olympics â€
CAITLIN CLARK BRING CLASS & INTEGRITY!
What a lot of people are forgetting is two things...1, CC is not that upset about it, she is taking it in stride. 2.Which leads to #1, CC has been playing and practicing since probably last Sept. She needs the time off and try to get set for her current job.... that is being a pro bballer.
Diana didnât say Caitlin wasnât good enough, you mustâve wanted her to say that so bad, thatâs what you heard. Thereâs a bunch of players good enough, thatâs just who they chose. Iâm glad a little that CC ainât going this time. Sheâll get there!!!
The way you pronounce Sabrinaâs last name has me hollering đ€Ł đ
Kuh-lee-uh Coo-per had me too
Comparing Barkley or Isiah to Clarks effect on the Wnba is ridiculous. Cmon man, open your eyes
There has been a lot of talk about CC not making the Olympic Team. I wonder if any the players who did make the list were worried if CC makes the list who has to sit on the sidelines and watch from the bleachers. One of the most important things that come to my mind with CC and proves that she is a player with class is that she has not spoken about not making the team. She is not the one complaining about hard knocks and negative remarks towards her. There are times when not reacting is what pisses the haters off more than anything. Her reaction is to continue to play hard and do what she does giving it her best, and not caving in.
Ionescu...say it with me Jon...(Eye-un-es-kuu) đđđ
It's nice she's not playing she could use a break. No one will watch without her playing.
So either sheâs saying they canât play as a team with her because either A. They refuse to play nicely with her or B. They would rather take people they have played with before (this is the most generous interpretation I can make).
Stop the hate the more you indite the more the fans unite Caitlin Clark blessings younglady †keep doing your thangđ
Nah. This is a bs interpretation and just a drama post video. This commentary from Taurasi is 100% accurate and no shade at all. Which is in stark contrast from the previous garbage commentary she made about her own inclusion as a rookie and the "three championships" comment, which was absolutely shade and not even a good argument.
3 Championships with a loaded roster with high recruits.
Love Caitlin C...but not everyone is against her or bitter towards her...Caitlin is and will continue to be a great player for years to come.
Tarazi Fulham BS you could tell from her face expressions her voice sheâs nothing but hating on CC. Letâs keep it real.
One of the things no one is mentioning is that CC has not complained about not making the team. That is why people like her. She is a class act.
Wnba needs the press coverage. But not like the Olympics is burning up the ratings. So even the Olympics could've used the boost.
Giving up on the best players narrative it is now the best fit. Well some people don't fit because they made sure to create enough negative energy to make them a bad fit.
From: Top 12, plus legacy, plus experience, plus chemistry, plus can handle tough internationals, plus went to camp (that was scheduled during NCAA tournament).
To: Best fit, plus legacy, plus experience, plus chemistry, plus can handle tough internationals, plus went to camp (that was scheduled during the NCAA tournament).
I did like Sabrina comments
She never says bad things about another player no matter what. This is jealousy.
Those jealous vets mustâve said they wouldnât play with Caitlin Clark.
NO one in the media has mentioned the fact that Taurasi made the Olympic team her rookie year. It has also been the case, about 50/50 that the number one WNBA draft pick makes the Olympic team on an Olympic year. Also sir Charles did make the Dream Team for the 92 Olympic team. and Isiah was kept off by Jordan. Go do some research for crying out loud. Ask the Dang Google!!!
Also Isiah was kept off because he was seen as the ring leader of the bad boy Pistons. They really made enemies in the league. So politics does play a role in your selection, I'm not a huge CC fan, but I do feel bad for CC. She has been excluded through no fault of her own, but because the media hype pissed off the vets in the WNBA
The committee already said "They didn't want the distraction."
From a business standpoint it was awful.
Your league sucks financially and you miss the opportunity to expose the world to something to market.
Emotions....if you can't check them you are not mature or of sound mind.
Caitlin Clark is the only one NOT TALKING about it!
It sounded like she was saying that Caitlin is not a team player and doesnât belong on team USA.
Sabrina is on the Olympic team, who ,imo, is just better version of what CC is, right now. We have 2 Curry'esque players in the league and Sabrina is just more adept. She's a seasoned player of the Pro League league and has adjusted her game to the league. Sabrina's worked on her defense this season, her movement without the ball is better, she makes screens for her team mates on offense, and can create her own shot. CC has good passes and a Logo shot, and?
If you do the 3 pts by % in stead of makes CC is 34th in the league.
I think in the long run not being on the team this go around will help CC. Might give her an extra bit of motivation and more importantly give her some rest. She's been going non stop since the NCAA's.
its not that they dont like clark its that they dont care they want the wnba to stay as it is
"The surge of interest in the WNBA is not about Caitlin Clark."
The closest WNBA team to me is in Arlington. I could get tickets for their next home games for $16 (vs Minnesota), $16 (Phoenix), $20 (Atlanta, 4th of July weekend), or $21 (Los Angeles). Even tickets for the champs the last two years (Las Vegas) are an easy $30. Or, I could wait until the next time Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are in town. On a Wednesday in the middle of July. Cheapest available ticket: $105
The Wnba should step- in, next time, and change or make a new rule.
If a player's current percentages scored, minutes and games played is higher this year, than the other players, last year, the new players should be added.
McCowan and Siegrist, Dal, both have 55.3% and a 52.2% scoring average, per game.
McBride, top for 3-pointers, and 91.5% average for free-throws
Magrebor, Sea, 91.5% for free-throws
The decision to add extra players was after 10 games played, I believe.
Adding players that weren't playing for 10 games or more shows that the other two ,who weren't playing, were already selected. Before the season began. Because, the season wasn't counted at all, for players with minutes and 10 games played.
If CC get selected for Team USA Olympics, I'll be looking out for her in the parade of nations...
how did 22 year old Taurasi earn her Olympic team spot, besides just being on the team that won the NCAA title, with and without her.
I actually think she was saying putting the best "TEAM" and I believe most of the players would not accept her as a teammate so it wouldn't be about building a team. I think she should be on there, but I don't think that
was what Diana Taurasi saying.
There is precedence that Geno and others have forgottenâŠ.
Three of the four WNBA rookies since 1996 that were put Team USA were UConn players and they were not one of the 12 best on the team. The one not from UConn was Candace Parker who was later snubbed..
You watch the 96 team USA documentary and see how Lobo struggled.
And Arike told one of the podcasts recently that she withdrew her name two months ago bcuz of the politics of that selection.
Sadly, folks are fussing about the new fans they desperately need, not looking at this year as a business opportunity to grow the league and get more eyes on team USA..
The W leadership and its players both current and former will be who folks will place blame to when the dust settles and the revenues flatten back down to previous years.
This rookie class is a part of your league and they are bringing their fans from college with them. And this league has done nothing to prepare for it and to embrace it. Especially the players. You donât see the drama around Wemby in the NBA like you seeing here. Thatâs because David Stern groomed Adam Silver to run the NBA as a business and entertainment entity and not base it on merit, feelings, and rookie hazing..
And if this league and women supporters donât think men should be telling their stories or how to run their business, then tap into the best and brightest businesswomen for guidance. Nobody is talking about that. You can Google the top businesswomen in this country and find themâŠ.
But there is an underlying problem here that is one or all of the things that have been said over the last several weeks. Who is going to woman enough to put ego and pride aside to acknowledge it and then fix it????
It's been the same team for the last 7 years.
Not the best 12 players on the team, based on stat. Also, a lot of ppl saying best 12 women, NO, IT IS NOT!
Just an informational note: Sabrina Ionescu is pronounced (phonetically) Sah-breena Ee-oh-nes-cue. :)
Brittany Griner & Chelsea Gray still are recovering from injuries. They probably will Not be able to play in The OLYMPIC Games.
This is like if Jordan didn't make the team. And tell that dude we do not have to respect anything they did. I think Clark is a player that just wants to play basketball in a league that cares more about pushing social issues.
