Caitlin Clark has gone viral recently as the Steph Curry of women’s college hoops so naturally people are wondering if she could play in the NBA. Her skills seem to translate anywhere because of her shooting and passing ability. This is a look at how the best women’s college player would do in the league. - Sport
“They are good players but, it ain’t the JUMPSHOT” 🤣🤣🤣
That got a good laugh outta me.
It might be the jump shot from behind
@@pixled2032 💀
Same bro
Livvy is too good so are the twins
"and they laughed at her face" hell yeah they did. Cousin's would go 21-0 against her
Griner prob couldnt even beat a cousin of Demarcus nevermind Demarcus Cousins😂
it doesnt even need to be prime cousins. cousins right now against her at her peak would also go 21-0. maybe against a 14 or 15 year old cousins she would have somewhat of a chance
@@Max-me9ol Demarcus cousins III would beat her💀
Jumping on one leg with a torn acl he would
@@Max-me9ol that age cousin would beat her two.
All respect to Caitlyn Clark, she is as exciting and dominant a player in her league as you will see, but she would have no shot in the NBA. Even with a lights out jumper she would struggle with the sheer speed/pace. Even Jimmer Fredette, who plays similar to Clark in many ways, struggled in the league despite having crazy range.
Exactly
Plus isn't she shooting a smaller ball right now?
@@shutupimgod8268 lmaoo shooting is shooting don’t discredit her like dat lmaoo
@globaldy8264 No, having a smaller ball does impact it quite a bit, try using a specific sized ball for 20 years and get a consistent form and hand placement and then completely change the size of the ball it will effect you quite a bit
@@globaldy8264 nah it's easier to shoot since the ball is smaller now it has higher probability to go into a same sized hoop
INSANE STAT! When I said Caitlin Clark's game had higher ratings any NBA game on ESPN this year it got 2.5 Million viewers. Well, the ratings just came out for her last game on ESPN and it was seen by 10 MILLION PEOPLE! That beats almost every NBA Finals game the last 3 years prior to Golden State/Celtics.
I’ll start buying into it when people start actually spending money on wnba
And the wnba have a positive revenue value
Till then it’s just bunch of females,super feminine people (who don’t even appreciate the game)and 16 year olds simpin
thats crazy
The ‘22 Finals averaged 12 million, I believe 14M+ in the close out game
Adam Silver is great at soft relationships and numbers, but he is a joke when it comes to understanding entertainment and how these numbers got here in the first place.
I really don't understand why? Is she like a social media influencer at the same time? I have no desire to watch her.
Clark is really taking the basketball world by storm. I really hope this girl can really bring something special to the WNBA
WNBA*
@@fe1x we know what he meant bruh
Unfortunaely WNBA is still not going to be popular, also the raise in 3points is making NBA less fun to watch in a way. So her being a great shooter like steph is not gonna help. Unless we have a female version of vince carter, jason william flashy type of players.....no ones gonna watch WNBA
@@uasakura diagree i love the new 3pt era
Might see a killer layup
She’s a great women’s player. I love watching her. But she CANNOT play against male pros. It’s a completely different ballgame.
Might as well ask Steph Curry how well he could get pregnant and deliver a baby
If you have any basketball knowledge then you understand how fast strong and skilled plus athletic nba players are so you know she stands no chance even against the bench players
Even ex nba player played in overseas
She doesn't stand a chance even against high school bench warmers.......
guys everyone knows she can’t compete with the physicality and the athleticism as men, why do y’all have to keep saying that like we don’t already know😂😂
@@ykpykp3854 because that shit funny. Some guy said now let me see if she can dunk a sandwich on my plate. Bro people so fucking dumb hahah omg so funny man. Omg smfh
@@ykpykp3854 Believe or not but some people actually dont know lol
They should invite her to 3pt contests, that would be something cool and new for the all star weekend.
nah, leave it to t he men
@@dexter6052 why?? lmao
@@DevinJarosz dexter fears the women, so much so that he only wants to be with men.
I think that's a cool idea. They can also have a women's team in the skills contest. It's a good way of boosting the WNBA.
Another thought, an NBA mixed team. We have them in Netball and it's brilliant.
They could have a G-league team but i think the NBA is a little too fat paced compared to the wnba
Nice job, Casey. This is a well rounded piece.
Some of these comments make it clear they didn’t watch the whole video - if any of it.😂
Ha! I was just thinking the same thing.
The second half the video doesn’t really have anything to do with Caitlin Clark, it’s just about how female players are being payed more now and people watch them… to study physics.
Dude you know there's no way she will EVER make it to the NBA. The physicality, endurance, speed and stamina required to play in the NBA is on another level.
he made ethis video purely for clickbait and views he knows damn well she doesnt
@@jmatt2871 the title says "how" not "could the best woman player join the nba"
did you even watch the video? he comes to that exact conclusion, almost word for word. nah, of course you didn't, you just wanted to jump in and word vomit so you can feel better about your micro penis.
Equality yo
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Demarcus Cousings gonna twist his ankle minute 1 against Griner. It's a fact. Dude is made of glass. That being said, Wiktor But would beat her in a one o one so we shouldnt have made the exchange. If you ask me, how many male players would beat the best female player, I ask you, how many men are there. Including G-League and every D1 team.
These videos are always so entertaining and I like your opinions on lots of these takes keep up the good work A.M
Both my parents went to Iowa (where they met) and my grandfather was a professor at Iowa so I am LOVING the hype around Caitlin Clark and can't wait for her take home the title next year, and take over the WNBA after that.
Caitlin Clark’s 2023 run will forever be remembered and she single handily made Women’s basketball must see tv. I cannot wait to see her senior year!
Must see TV? 😂
She was a bit entertaining but "must see tv" is so far beyond a stretch it tore
Yup. Remembered for choking and not winning the big one. Her season was pointless.
@@marcel3942 I said what i said.
@@marcel3942 about as close to "must see TV", as women's basketball has ever gotten
She would get bullied badly. The speed and power gap is just too wide. Yeah she's a good shooter on women who close out at 3 MPH. There would be no way for her to create her own shot against these dudes.
Fax one bump from Lebron she's injured just like Chet
She would be a less physical Austin reeves tbh
@@kreyrfer8293 reaves is way better, and 5 inches taller
@@ry_an. at her stage he wasn't as good as her tbh
@@kreyrfer8293 it does not matter she's way more smaller she also does not have the IQ of reaves which is literally one of reaves biggest weapons and just like what the comment say she is way more worse when it comes to athwlthicism speed, power, strength, vertical, agility and many more as much as good she is at the 3pt line she needs more than that curry didn't dominate the game because he simply was good at 3pt it played a huge part true but he have more to offer hes a good off ball player, great finishing, great Dribbling, decent defense and are we rly gonna forget that the level of the nba is too much big of a gap than the rest may it be international, college, high school the nba is just way too good i mean scalabrine literally cooked a former international pro a d1 collegiate player when he was 50 yrs old he literally have a show for it
Vid was fire, thanks for a very interesting topic. Really opened my eyes on some of this shit
Very informative video I definitely learned something

@@GraysonClips Rebound’s transitions r crazy too
People don't understand that the limiting factor for taking the "next step" (like like High school to College, DII to DI, Semi-pro to pro, Euro to NBA) is RARELY ever a person's ability to score or play offense. It's ALWAYS defense and your ability to stay healthy with the physicality. I've yet to see a woman who could physically compete with men at the highest levels. Their bodies would just simply not hold up (not to mention they wouldn't be able to guard ANYONE). Offensively, sure. Maybe there's a handful of females who could get a few buckets in an NBA (maybe). But it would just be silly overall because they'd get 50+ dropped on them every night and they'd probably suffer pretty significant injuries within a couple weeks.
So true
Exactly
even i can get 1 bucket hehehe but theyd get 100 buckets on me
I wasn't able to watch her in this year's NCAA Tournament, but I'm really looking forward to seeing Caitlin Clark play next season. Who knows, maybe she will be the woman who will get me to start being a fan of women's basketball.
people don't realize just how good anyone in the NBA is.
Your joking💀
Let him cook
Great vid. Breakdowns always on point, also love how you seamlessly transition to another of your vids. Very curious to see how NBA shapes up with all these new formations.
you did well with this topic. nicely done
I went to the University of Iowa and got to play Caitlin and a few of the other women’s players at the rec last year. This video was pretty spot on. They were better than the majority of average joes at the rec who simply played high school ball but the few guys there who transferred from Iowa after playing D3 basketball were better than them. I guarded Kate Martin (another starter at Iowa) and she outscored me 8-0 so they definitely earned my respect 😂
cause your an average dude
That’s not saying much I’m from rockisland Illinois and for spring break fund raisers our highschool boys would dominate against Hawkeyes team Clark wouldn’t stand a chance against the high school kids from rocky
There's maybe 5 NBA players that she would have any kind of size advantage on, and they would definitely have her on athleticism. She would go from physically dominant with skills to being at a serious disadvantage physically.
Great vid, telling facts with evidence and keeping it respectful.🎉
bro you keep finding topics // making such interesting videos on the regular, makes the NBA so much more interesting to follow - they should be handing you a check on the regular. keep up the good work! cheers from Mexico
"It ain't the jumpshot" 🤣🤣🤣
I had no idea this woman existed until yesterday and I’m a HUGE NBA fan! My friend was talking about her saying “she’s like Steph Curry 2.0” and now I know how awesome she is!
Ain't no Steph 2.0.... 😂😂😂😂😂
I love how the most watched part of the video is where the girls photos at. It's exactly how world works.
"I would go to the ATM, sell my house and put it all on Cousins"😂
Cheryl Miller the main one that comes to mind.
Facts. Her own brother said that he couldn’t fw her.
it's the hero/heroine story that made her famous. she's a girl that can dominate a well established college team from a team that usually sits at the bottom. that kind of story is what merica loves.
Love ur vids bro!
Loved that video coordinators take
definitely Caitlin Clark is really taking the basketball world by storm and honestly i hope this girl can really bring something special to the WNBA
WNBA would be a step down for her
@@MrDwightsimon I mean she isn't good enough to be in the men's league so...
As an iowa fan I love that she gets her attention
Bro always has the best videos
One thing not mentioned: Caitlin has More Sense than to think she can play in the NBA. She Knows Better
This video spoke the truth
Anybody watching college hoops in the first place can't act like they only want to watch basketball at its highest level, so I'm happy to see the women's game getting some attention
Cousins hit the nail on the head "delusional"
First and you should do a video about play off predictions
I was curious how you will handle this topic, because of your honesty and rationality. Can't complain, but I loved how the video went way beyond the title. I just was waiting for that "Piers Morgan boys vs women football" video.
My favourite video in awhile!
" it ain't the jump shot "😆
Funniest part about the BG vs cousins thing was that Geno actually coached BG in 2016
My solution the One and Done issue in MBB is to put a rule in place where you can leave out of HS to go to the NBA but if you decide to go to college you have to stay for 3 years like in College Baseball
Thanasis Antetokounmpo 😂😂 I’m crying 😂
Sad but true.
dont disrespect my boy thanasis
It’s always a game of physicality when there’s a big mismatch.
Yall can't lie. It would be nice to see a coed league. Yes, ik men majority would dominate. But, have an equal number of men and women on all teams. This would force women to either play better if they have something to prove or if they want a bigger contract. For the men, it would be a new challenge, teammate wise. Integrating them into the faster playspeed.
Given all that....I still wouldn't replace the NBA for it. It would just be an interesting division to see.
man I had just subscribed.
Controversial topic. Can’t wait to see Casey tackle it!
No its not.
He should post this video on apirl the 1st next time
hahaha truth
Answer: no, she could not play in the NBA. This is ridiculous. It’s like saying the best player in your YMCA could play in the NBA. No. They can’t. The popularity argument is trash because you’re comparing college championship games to regular season NBA games featuring “load management”. Nah dude.
4:21 but ppl want to watch a playoff (March madness) game more than a regular season game. Thats why its "she beats the NBA in popularity", a conference finals game in the NBA on ESPN would probably get more views if nothing else is on. No hate to NCAAW though.
I remember when Chrissy Everett was asked how she would fare against the top men, she looked at the reporter as if he were an idiot and said the that the top 1000 men in the US would beat her
I would say it's atleast 10,000 considering there are like 6,000 players on D1 teams alone, then you have all the D2 and D3 guys and dominant high school players. its waaaayy more than 1000
Serena Williams said something similar
She would do well depending on who she plays with. There are players like Luka, Jokic and Lebron who get open looks for their team mates all game long. However, I would pick her over Ben Simmons for my team any day.
We all know that's not true, she would be a defensive liability and the men's three point line is further. The ball is also bigger and she doesn't have any physical gifts compared to NBA players.
I don't know what dopamine AM HOOPS uses but I keep coming back and I've watched all videos
I was there in Springfield, Massachusetts when Nancy Liberman-Klein was put in a game with professional men. She lasted just a few inept minutes,
She was way (literally) out of her league.
Even Demarcus Cousins today would whoop Griner's ass in her prime
Sometimes people forget that even if you take a woman who is exactly the same size and weight as a man, the man will still be stronger because of the different muscle fibres we have. Not only that, a woman might be the same weight but she will have more of that weight as fat than the guy even when they are both elite athletes so again, the guy will be much much stronger. Not to mention testosterone that makes the men more aggressive and have stronger bursts of strength.
Caitlin is still a damn beast though and there is no need to compare her to male basketball players at all.
"The Best, Really?".... 🤣😂 😃
- Angel Reese....
Would be fun to have an NBA + WNBA all-star game with mix of female and male players on both sides. that would be cool to watch
Put any WNBA MVP on any NBA team and she's riding the bench at best
G-League bench. Ur giving her too much credit.
Put her in the G league if she can even get 5 points there
She would get cooked in the g league
2 or 3 points maybeee, she wouldn’t make the court because she would be a MASSIVE defensive liability
@@crwnc1775 Bro y’all are crazy. She’s hitting shots from half way. She has the mentality to keep shooting even if she’s playing bad. I think she would be an offensive weapon in a system geared to her tho the defence would like be terrible

Just watched the LSU v IOWA game for reference. At 6' even and slight of build you have to be inhaling in some serious 420 to think Ms. Clark could play in the NBA.
My 9th grade 3 on 3 basketball team, I was the only actual basketball player, beat the top 4 UW badger girls... 15-2. We lost every other game that day against guys.

@@MentallyUnhappy Maybe if the woman has been playing basketball her whole life and the guy had never touched one. Otherwise, if the guy even played a little at recess in highschool....... I'm still betting on him.
@@mrmelonman2893mamn look at the only girl in the wnba who can dunk. There's high school boys her can dunk better then her. I have no doubt high school boys would dominate the wnba
She has the personality. But you cannot even compare women's college basketball to WNBA, let alone the NBA. She could be a role player, shooting some 3 ptrs and maybe some D on very specific moments of the game
Look at A.M man, so inspirational
I absolutely love caitlin clark. Shes already changed womens basketball for me and ill be a fan/following her for her entire career. Having said that she wouldnt start for the top boys highschool basketball teams in the country
She will be the Savior of the WNBA watch!
She’d get picked up 94Ft all Game!!!
grreat vid bro! she's skinny, 6'0 with a low release. no chance. let alone finish at the rim. I think some people dont realise how elite the NBA players all are these days. 30 years ago its a different story, but today is sooooo competitive.
Coach didn’t have to say he would sell his house 😂😂😂😂
In a world where men are dominating female sports, conversations abut Caitlin able to play with men in the NBA is empowering for all the women out there.
You sound like such a fucking Sally.
I would put mm idk 10k it never happens.
she needs to start winning title games...alls I'm saying lol
Good question
You also have to take into account the WNBA uses a smaller ball than the NBA. That yields better shot clearance and an easier to handle ball.
Caitlin Clark's been amazing this season, and the season before, but yeah in the NBA she'd be a non-factor on defense to be honest, plus I don't see how she could be comfortable playing with in an all men's league. She would need a separate locker room and shower too. She's fun to watch though, and I've known about her before she even went to college.
she'd be a factor on defense for sure, just not in a good way.
@@srensen3081 How exactly?
Yeah I think he’s focusing on the wrong side of the game. Her offence would take a hit at first but she would adjust. She’s got unlimited confidence but the defence as you mentioned would definitely be the major problem
@@bracebrooks967 if youre the reason your teams d is bad, youre still a factor, just not a good factor.
@@srensen3081 that still doesn't help me understand to be honest
I wanna see Paige vs Caitlin
Paige is a more skilled player than Clark....better handles, mid range game and can play defense......she takes better shot selections and shoots better %.......Paige is a franchise player.....Clark is only exciting to watch shoot logo 3s .....
The BEST female basketball player in the WORLD wouldn’t cut it in the D-league
umm to clarify all nba players are on "something" (enhancements) this is the reason why the skill gap is insane but every time they check the person is able to get off of it on time and they are put onto something new that on one even knows of so they don't get caught.
The best women wouldn't make it in the NBA, thats just the facts.
Thats why it has to be seperate, so both genders can thrive in basketball.
Nah a woman could make it to the league fs. Obviously wouldn’t be a superstar but a catch and shoot roleplayer is def possible. A woman nearly made it to the nba before, but didn’t get to bc they got pregnant
@@tadow_od Pal she would be so garbage on defense because of her lack of height and athletism that the small offensive production wouldn't be worth it

@@tadow_od she couldn’t be a role player either clown . Promise you it’s levels to this . If she plays the worst player on an nba bench 1on1 she gets destroyed if he didn’t want her to win or score
@@tadow_od not the point the she is such a defensive liability that it's simply not worth playing her cause the opponent gonna score every time
There’s ZERO need to compare to women’s basketball to men’s basketball. Both are entertaining!
There is a need when people always say one is better than the other. Both are entertaining tho
The wnba is not entertaining. That’s why no one watches and they lose 10 million yearly
BG thought she was gunna back boogie down and win lmao
Trae Young is one of the best offensive players in the league but isn't even a good NBA player because of how detrimental his defense is. This is such a silly question.
i honestly think she could be a really solid role player, she would be a bit of a liability on defense but if she was on a team that could use a shooter that has good defense (namely celtics and bucks for contenders)
no.
Maybe if she was taller or a better defender but i can't think of a successful nba player who was a good shooter but not good enough to create their own shot against good defenders and was a terrible defender themselves.

She could probably play in the nba… during the 1940s…..
The reason the NBA games were beaten by the women's NCAA it's because the women's game has passion in it right now at the NCAA level drama of the tournament plus the passion of beating higher ranked teams and seeing previously unknowns on top of the world. There are no more underdogs in the NBA we know absolutely everything about every player due to social media and the internet itself. However the league is also responsible for this the game has gotten soft and I understandnobody wants to see players injured due to hard fouls but I'm sure we can all agree we miss the good hard fouls. Rivalries are gone and so is the passion those rivalries bring to the game. We are now depending on gambling to give passion back to the game and while it does help especially with fantasy league it does not bring the same intensity as city versus city team versus team fan base versus fan base. If the league does not learn from this it will only get worse and as we watch the game that we love become more gimmick than pure game you can't help but to worry that the quality will continue to get worse. We need our good guys versus bad guys like the old west film where an evil Tyrant runs amok until the old Gunslinger comes out of retirement or hiding to bring peace back to the people. We need that in just about everything we need someone to root for as much as we need someone to root against otherwise the product becomes so Bland that no one wants to watch it.
Interesting topic
Thanks for bringing up these women in history who joined the NBA. The current league rules don’t bar any women from submitting for the NBA draft. The bigger question: why don’t they try to play in the NBA if they believe themselves to be as good or better than their male counterparts?
Wisconsin Denise Long nice for UW??
sees the title of the vid.
ah shit here we go again.
Why you do my man's Thanasis like that?! 😅😅😅
"Only Sports" 🤣🤣🤣
Sorry but this seems like a troll video, the guy you spoke to didn’t even confirm that she was a better shooter than some nba players, his explanation actually confirmed that her percentage wouldn’t translate over to the league and she’d struggle. Also, this viewership numbers are not competing long term at the moment and probably never will. The nba and ncaa men’s have the ability to produce stars more effectively than the women’s game.
