- Caitlin Clark is changing the game of women's basketball. See what NBA legends like Steph Curry have to say about her game. While some WNBA veterans still remain skeptical.
Is Caitlin Clark really that special?
Are you blind? People talk about her in good vibes including sports analyst in general, coaches, sports enthusiasts not only basketball and the most glaring is the attendance that fills the arena. Time to build a bigger one. 😂😂😂
Yes she is. Very special.
You tell me? Answer why am i here.
Yes. Her icon mini basketball only one to sellout. Her Wilson basketball sold out. #1 in Jersey sales in the W and 4th by volume sold on the NBA. All but 1 of the highest ratings this season includes the Fever.
As Kim Mulkey said, Caitlin is a once in a generation player. That isn’t taking from the talent of the other players… it is just giving her her due… she is a great player that has demanded every player bring their playing level up to a higher level… let’s go women… wnba
Swoops lost me when she said black people can't be racist.
Absolutely
That's a fucking joke
Ironically, to say black people cant be racist, is in itself, a racist comment.
Agreed. In the last 5yrs they have reworked RACIST… if you are another race and you treat someone like shit because of her race, you are the problem.
They are most racist. They can't let the past go. I have black people in my family. Some hate white people. Some hate Kamala Harris
Racism: Prejudice, discrimination or antagonism by an INDIVIDUAL, COMMUNITY or INSTITUTION against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group.
Anyone or group can be racist! To say or think that American blacks cannot be racist is a racist statement!
@@schuylardiamond8438 that's right anybody
And it's a statement that is common to that particular heavily racist community...
All of them are racist.
I rarely watched basketball men or women before I watch now because of Caitlin Clark, her energy and vibes are contagious Very inspirational.
Me too, l watch the game because of C.C. and the (FEVER) players. She gives me FEVER.
I think i got a "FEVER" too
Agreed ... True Baller☺️
Caitlin (Whyte Girll)
same i never watched a womans game till CC
Once in a while a special case comes along. Before Caitlin were the old talents (Taurasi, Swoops, Sue Bird) and then a new face barrels in. A girl who is white, talented and straight while the other women in the league are black, loud mouths, and gay. They’ve been in the WNBA but CC popped up the volume and prices started souring. Million dollar deals with big name brands while the aging talents of the league couldn’t even get a deal from an insurance company. CC has a 28million deal with Nike and she just got drafted into the pros. JEALOUSY is the name of the game .. that the Price of stardom. Hang in there CC, your fans love you.
...prices are SOARING...
the gay, loud mouth, violent sisters.....................................make me sick?
@@blaknyte1 Very well said
The things this young lady keeps doing are simply unbelievable, this story only keeps getting better and better!!!!
No.. it just keep getting more absurd. CC reigns...
She is single handedly making other pro players in the WNBA have to up their game or get left behind.
❤
It is so kind and noble for the top NBA players to admit that Caitlin is the BEST PLAYER! It is disgusting to see the WNBA are jealous and mean to her. Caitlin is just silent and present - very high level player! She make it look easy!
Female jealousy is a nasty thing.
CC broke the scoring record with 13 less games...she didnt take the covid year
I know, when I heard these comments I was like uh, she only played 4 years. Then she kind of doubles down on it after the fact and says "first of all, black people can't be racist". I was just shaking my head. Anyone from any race can be racist.
wow yur right, just looked it up. das racist!
@@definitelynotchadfish my thoughts exactly. saying black people can't be racist is just an incredibly stupid thing to say. she just said she was racist without saying she was racist XD
Swoops comments make zero sense. Why the hate. A simple look shows CC played 13 less games than Plum. Also, last I checked Plum is white also So the racist comments make no sense at all. They are just pissed about her Nike deal.
She also beat Plum's record by 424 points in 138 games to Plum's 139.
CC is exceptional. Nice to hear the
NBA guys recognize it and say so.
Wow didn't know about her foundation! She is a true roll model! And a top player of basketball in the world! Thank you !
Special is an understatement.
There are many special players but CC is an Extraordinarily Exceptional Super Star ⭐️
And just going to get better as she gains experience. I also feel she will build on her physical strength. It is frightening how good she could be. Just hope she can stay healthy.
Caitlyn keep on shining. You have shown the world you dont have to have a "huge chip" on your shouder or an "aggressive hostile" look on your face to be a "star". Your actions n quiet demeanour speaks volumes about your true character n personality. It's a shame you never made the Olympic team
She can still make the Olympic team in 2008.
What breaks my heart is some of these women were her idol! She looked up to them , and they welcome her with a slap in the face 😢
Caitlin Clark loves and care for her young basketball fans because Caitlin herself is a basketball fan ... just like them young kids❤.
How sad is it that Caitlin's all-time idol Taurasi, has nothing but comtempt for younger atheletes that she inspired!
That is one weird legacy!!!
Absolute jealousy!
@@Mr.DJones and racism
Jealousy is such a bitter pill
@@maxo1124I doubt its racism, just denial that at 42 years years old your body is destroyed long-term
Caitlins WNBA team, beat the USA olympic team 117-109 in an exhibition game, Guess Taurasi has some adjustments to make.. 🐐 had the walk of shame. even USA coach doubled down. its nice to see the men telling the truth about how impressive Caitlin is for the game. women should not be so jealous and enjoy Caitlins abilities.🏀
Swoopes was either lying or didn't bother to check her facts. Clark only played 4 years ( Swoopes claimed more years) broke Plum's record in fewer games - not more: 126 to 139. She was 22, not 25 as Swoopes also claimed.
Definitely weird that she expected just to say whatever and get away with it? Haterzzz
Mealous Ditch
LOL, honestly the clips showed in this video just exposed how unintelligent she is. Check at 7:10, what was she talking about "black people can't be racist"? WTH, anyone from any race can be racist. LMFAO. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Only time you can't use that as an excuse is when both parties are the same race. However, prejudice on someone without really knowing one is not right IMO.
Swoopes is a moron and a hater
Well, to be fair, she also claimed "black people can't be racist." Just so you know what you are dealing with.
CC is the tiger woods of basketball! I never watched holf until tiger came on the scene...and now the same for the wnba...shes phenomenal!
Same.
Correct. Is the tip of the spear in changing womens basketball forever
Woods is a good comparison. She is the most dominant basketball player, male or female, in history. A lot of guys were 3 steps ahead of the competition, she is 5 steps ahead of hers. I'm not saying she could compete in the NBA I'm just comparing her to her competitors
She a GENERATIONAL TALENT!💯🏀💯
Caitlin Clark isn't called a generational player for nothing. Caitlin Clark has so much more to her talent, skill, and foresight ability to play basketball than even Aja Wilson, let alone Angel Reese.
Caitlin Clark plays basketball on a 3 dimensional level, sees what's happening on the court, calculates what needs to be done, which 90% of the plays she's driving involves other teammates, all done in her mind then translated on the play in a fraction of a second, then executes it, which most of the time is tremendously successful.
And just to address the CC turnover rates her critics like to always mention, this is because when you drive the pace, make the plays involving passing the ball, aka assists, there's always a higher rate of turnovers, which is reflected in other high rated passers down the stat board. The receiver of the passed ball who does not catch the ball are not credited with a turnover, only the passer is.
Caitlin Clark has literally revolutionized WNBA Women's Basketball to a new level, rewriting the records books with every game she plays, is without a doubt the WNBA League's ROTY and MVP, the greatest woman's basketball player of all time - aka GOAT .. which is why the WNBA old guard elites hates Caitlin Clark because it means their basketball talent and skill is not what they thought it was.
This is why the massive appeal draw is Caitlin Clark, not the WNBA, is why the WNBA has been a dismal financial and fan appeal failure since it's conception
Very well put❤
Well said.
Here here I second this ROTY and MVP
Could not have said it better!!! The other players can't see the game as fast as she does! They're not expecting the ball, because they are not open most of the time when she makes the pass, because she is passing the ball to make them go where they should have already been. She is already getting that chemistry with some of them.... when the whole team figures it out, they may replace the Comets as the all-time WNBA DYNASTY!!!
you dam_ RIght she's on a whole different level
Swoops is full of it.
If Swoops really thinks that that she is not a racist, she needs to review her comments and check the t shirts that she is wearing. I submit to you that she is one of the most racist of black people because of the words she speaks, she believes.
Evil. And she is not showing any grace herself
CC played 4 years in college cause covid cut it short then she hit the draft. 13 less games than Pete Marovich.
Perfect example for kids and grown-ups. Pure class and grace and GOAT in the making.
Great parenting 👍.
This season the league made huge leaps and bounds. Why this season? We may never know. CC roty
CC HUMBLE NOT A CRYBABY NO LASHES 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Black people certainly can be racist. That’s all they ever talk about.
Clark whines all the time and how about the infamous fight she had with the water bottle 😅 my response to no lashes is boy body 😊
Haters are everywhere. She's a humble super star
Role model for ALL
Love this player. Once in a generation. No. Once in 2 generations. Probably best ever.
Clark is good... because she practice, practice practice... that's the key
Caitlin has out classed all her critics
Miss Jordan
Her desire to win above all costs for team not her self
She is the real deal. Her great work ethic will ensure her longevity and great play. She only just begun!
Haters don’t know. C C back ground or games played just out to hate C C
Taurasi's comments about Clark likely having some difficulty adjusting to WNBA pro play were very much realistic and expected. Her comments had nothing to do with hate, envy or jealousy. Taurasi and other great rookies went through that transition in a very hard earned way. Taurasi knows Clark is phenomenal but could not imagine Clark adjusting as she has with keeping her stats high and having much less difficulty as Taurasi and the other now great players went through. Taurasi, other greats in the WNBA, many of the great players in the NBA and the basketball aware public have been dazzled by Clark. We have not seen anything like Clark in the WNBA and not that many in the NBA. Taurasi, like most others just misunderestimated Clark a bit for good reason, Clark is something new. Not a big deal.
I live in Phoenix, and I had no idea who Taurasi was until she had something to say about Miss Clark.
she learned very fast. The passes she is making are unbelievable and I am not hearing so much about turnovers. But face it, the guard will make turnovers is she is to also pass.
“Black people cant be racist” she’s kidding Right?
@@Somerandomdude60 YES! You didn't know this!! Lol ! 🤣🤣🤣
Got you!!
Unfortunately no, she is not kidding. That is what some black people tell themselves rather than face the reality that they are in fact, racist.
If she's right with that she ain't black. :p
Racism refers to socially systemic marginalization of a race. By that definition in usa, only white ppl can be racist. ANY race can be prejudiced of bigoted bc those mindsets / behaviors are not rooted in socially systemic norms. Common misconception spread around mostly by conservatives
.
I don't know what her contract pays out, but considering she's filling arena's, if it's anything less than 8 figures a year, she's being hoodwinked!
The league can't afford her yet. Luckily Nike footed the bill @28M for 8 years
@@ThePhillyDz FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!
"...best player in the country..."
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
But why doesn't it show up in the stats?
YOUR AWESOME SWEETIE YOU GOT THE WORLD AT UR FEET STAY REAL ALWAYZ

THANK YOU! FACTS FOR ROY!!! CC🥇💐🏀🏆❤️🔥
THAT LIST SPEAKS VOLUMES!!!!! THANKS FOR POSTING!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely Special ! ! ! ! 👍👍👍👍👍
Steph, Steph! Yup, CC and Steph are both guards and both unselfish. And killer shooters.
When Clark gets fully rested it's going to be another gear being picked up she has not had any real rest I can't wait to see what happens next mark my words
Honestly I want to go to a WNBA game because of Caitlin for the first time. her inside game is as amazing as her outstanding shooting abilities and seeing many of my favorite NBA players talking about her they are talking about her game and I so respect them for that lets hope its the start of really great things to come for the WNBA ❤
CC is that special, and so we're all of those players from the past and present. She is doing for WNBA what those guys did for the NBA. Of course there are going to be haters, and this wouldn't get the publicity without that. Everybody that is a winner has how many people get their thunder taken from them by her? Those are natural reactions, to getting pushed back. Happens in all sports.
Not true. CC got attention before all the haters.
Caitlin doesn't need to defend herself by playing dirty, or even by bad-mouthing anyone. She proves herself on the court and does it playing clean. As far as tooting her horn, she doesn't need to. The greats on the game do it for her. She's simply amazing.
"Draining 3s as a kid."? There were no 3 pointers when I was a kid.
I'm dinosaur old.
@forthrightnight Yeah... I remember Pistol Pete was the Highest scoring NCAA player and CC flew past him. BUT There was no 3's when Pete played. He'd still have the record. Love CC though.
Truth!! I'm so old I remember Preparation A.
CC is must see TV when she’s playing
Hello sir just watched your commentary on Kaitlyn Clark I fully agreed with everything you said she’s inspiring me I’m turning 70 in 2months. I’ve been struggling to get the game under my belt but since I’ve been watching her seems like my shots are better already.!!! it’s just so fantastic when a phenom like Kaylan Clark, happens during your life, it’s almost surreal
Miss Tarasi and Sheryl Swoopes are jealous. That’s all there is to it they need to go ahead and retire. I think Cheryl already has but Diana needs to also.
Sheryl Swoopes never impacted the game the way Caitlyn Clark is doing and that has a lot of player's and coaches jealous. Go Caitlyn we are rooting for you all the way. Stay humble unlike your haters.
If NBA-Allstar players are giving her that praise, I really do NOT give a flying f*ck what some hating a** WNBA players or coaches have to say about CC!
Okay so I've come to the only logical conclusions I can with available data. Caitlin is either a time traveler, god has gifted her with clairvoyance or she has made a pact with the devil. Personally, even though I'm an atheist, I think it might be the 2nd. Caitlin operates on a level which usually leaves the defense pretty dumbfounded on how to stop her. It's like she runs around patting defenders on the head saying, "Oh you poor child if you only knew." It's a lot of fun to behold and it has made me come back to sports watching. But make no mistake if the WNBA messes with this cash cow and causes her to leave either through injury or stupid politics I'm gone.....
Don't be a fool with your logical conclusions, you can't have it both ways, either you are an atheist, or you believe in the devil, there's a reason that good is also usually mentioned with the word evil.
Though I do have to absolutely agree with your last statement, cuz if they put her out of a league with injuries, I won't be watching anymore either, I stopped watching NBA because of all the PC and ridiculous statements made by the players about being victims... Either you're a millionaire, or a victim, not sure how you can call yourself both😂
I'm an Atheist too...in Texas lol. Read my post at top to see which teams I think CC should go to if she wants to.
Im old school so I haven't seen Curry play much due to raising a family. When I watch her play, I see L.Bird. His ability to read the floor and his mental ability to know where his teammates and opponents would be and when❤
It did not take the time you said she did it less than it took you on garth teams I like the men. Black players said the truth about. Clark how good she is the ones known she straight and the best player of women in sports 🏀
Keep talking like “How is she gonna fit in the league?”…😂😂😂 She is the league right now
T on CC at 6:00 did not age well! CC was soooo translated that she 2x as many blitzes and the same number of full-court presses as as any other team combined on a team! Grown women so scared and coaches so focused on stopping her that ... Yeah, Diana you were just silly.
Yes a woman of. God he helped making her the best
g-d has nothing to do with Caitlin's success. Her hard work is the reason.
NO the NBA Legends is a Problem,Europe love Caitlin......
Practice practice practice... makes a champion 🏆
They insult her, pound on her and lie about her and she just keeps playing great basketball with kindness toward others and humility. A small loud few hate her but millions adore her around the world!
I'm 74 and have just found this young girl. She is a beautiful person who is exceptionally talented ❤️
Swoops? Didn't even know she existed until I learn about Caitlin Clarke. Please thank Caitlin Clark for
your 2 mins of lime light.
Nobody has the over all stats that Caitlin has and i noticed she held back in that All Star Game! She could have broken Sue Birds assist record and she could have scored more points! She just casually passed the ball to other people, because she knew they had beaten Team USA. Angel Reese passed the ball to CC for a wide open shot but passed up to opportunity to get more points or at least another assist! I think Cheryl Miller Miller would be the perfect coach for CC? Ms Miller would know how to get the best out of CC
I literally never understood basketball until I watched CC play. Absolute general who also commands the artillery!
Caitlin Clark is the only role model for my children!
She’s not only the future face of the league, she’s the present face too.
This super star causes me loss of sleep. I keep going to CZcams at night and watching her amazing talent. Just amazed. I’m not even a basketball fan. I’m a Caitlin Clark fan. I have watched Steph a lot during the playoffs, but Caitlin is a legend at 22 in her first year of professional play. I don’t have an autographs, but I would love to have hers.
One of the best put together videos that I've seen on Caitlin.
Best player in the country and a good person that’s why ppl love Caitlin ❤
Magic, no one is asking about angel😅
Damn, that chick shoots as quick and as far as Steph Curry!!!
Definitely a Caitlin Clark fan. Class is ephemeral and speaks volumes
CC is the real deal. An inspiring athlete who doesn't make excuses when she loses. But she doesn't lose often.
Probs to her parents to raise such a fine young lady. Great Athlete, humbled persona, and i bet she also was a good student.
Alone for her persona she is the GOAT
I have been watching her play over the year she's gone pro and I must say her game beats almost every woman in the WNBA bar none. I see now why people are flocking to games she's playing. She's fun to watch and she has skills all over the court. Not only can she shoot, she's also a great floor general. Her handles offloads are some of the best I have ever seen in women's basketball in a very long time. The game before this was akin to watching kids play soccer on a field where they are chasing the ball all over the place. She's changed the modern game and there is nothing her fellow WNBA members can do about it no matter how jealous they are about it.
I am enjoying watching WNBA, and quite surprised and pleased how good they are, I think I prefer it to the NBA, but I never watched a game until after seeing Caitlin
I will love you make a video with the hundreds of assists, crazy assists of Caitlin Clark!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best comparison is not Currie, it's Bird.
Shot + the floor generalship and passing. The latter elevates the entire team. It optimizes every trip down court, not just the ones where she gets a look at a 3.
A LEGEND IN THE MAKING, A PHENOMENAL ATHLETE
I am just LOVING watching the MEN of greatness support and give this woman her coins!!
It’s WEST DesMoines ~. I went to Valley High in West DesMoines where 55 years ago women played half court and players could only take 2 bounces and 3 steps before having to pass or shoot ~. We’ve come a long way baby !!!! And CC is a large part of that continuing journey ! ( Dowling was an all male Catholic high school back then - )
It is hard to believe in this day and age that Caitlin Clark is a pioneer. Past the age of toddler young girls are putting down their dolls and picking up a softball, kicking a soccer ball, playing volleyball, and dribbling a basketball. Young girls are getting bigger and more agile. They are focusing on gamesmanship.
I love Caitlin Clark and the fact that she has brought Women's Basketball to the forefront. Before Caitlin Clark I had never watched Women's Basketball.
I laugh at all haters who have been totally taken of guard by Caitlin's Performances, but maybe more importantly she is doing it with Class both on and off the court.
All these haters are being taken to the barn by a White, Straight, Catholic young Girl from Iowa.
Wake up and enjoy a story for the Ages. CAITLIN CLARK 🙏
If it's Beyond the Ark it's a Work of Clark
She is a class act that hopefully will be a role model for other young women ❤
Caitlin is looking pretty good out there for her first year! Wake up Swoops and apologize for double dribbling on your remarks
She is one of a kind who understands the game.
Finally someone mentioned and multiple times, she's like Larry Bird!!!
So TRUE , CC is amazing, FUTURE GOAT 👍🏼💯🏀
i'm not a basketball fan, but my view is that the WNBA needs a rivalry like clark vs reese on the court. what the two of them need themselves is RESPECT for a rival. This will help the league get promotions and endorsments that help every female basketball player. so in conclusion think of the big picture rather than 'WHATS IN IT FOR ME'
She's the REAL DEAL on & off the court🏀🤛
The way these older or ex-WNBA players say it, it shows they are envious that Caitlin is a Superstar while most people, including myself, still don't know the names of these women.
CC is the girl believe it or not she going to get better watch out
❤❤❤ Caitlin Clark ❤❤❤ is WNBA G.O.A.T., for sure!!! ❤❤❤
Never not once after the first 10 minutes of the first season till now have I had a bit of interest
She really shows how unskilled the other players actually are. Most look like they've been caught coasting
This girl makes me proud and I’m not her dad. Good job dad!
Says a lot when all the NBA legends have nothing but positive things to say about CC and so many of the top WNBA players only have negative things to say. One league has the respect of the entire world, the other reports 8-figure financial losses every year.
Caitlyn Clark could be a grump and unpopular and she would still belong on the Olympic team. It's fantastic that she is unselfish and wonderful!
Her prejudice, jealousy, and hating is shining loud and clear. Shame on her!!!
😮are you on crack!?
Too early to call her the "Michael Jordan" of the WNBA. But, give her time.
She looks to be an exceptional player.
