I agree. They underestimated the rest of the WNBA players
No, that's a BS narrative. They didn't say anything about them. And they aren't disappointed in her. Caitlin skeptics underestimated her.
@@bobjones289 "over rated no talent 1st pick" BS no one believes that.
They didn't underestimate anyone. You don't know what you're talking about.
"making excuses on how bad her team is". What excuses?. The team is bad.
I think she was referring to the reason she struggled ofc her team is terrible but people was blaming all her individual struggles on her teammates and not giving her any accountability
You guys are pathetic
come on man she killed the team by getting 10 turnovers 10 + she doesn't defend at all yes the team is bad but she isn't better
@@sbon3gyour wrong. You can have some turnovers and still win games but when your missing wide open layups and and getting ate up in the post and dealing with a teammate that's use to playing with teammates that are much faster in transition and on top of that a head coach that's acting like she has no idea what she is doing then yeah. CC is a good player on a team that has sucked for almost 3 years now and she's a rookie on top of that
@@bateseanderson2667YOU’RE wrong, not YOUR. YOU’RE… remedial. EARLY elementary English failure. Focus on English mastery. All else you stated is rendered invalid. You’re not savvy. You clearly haven’t watched NBA or WNBA basketball. EVER.
Caitlin's turnovers are inflated because some of them are on her team mates for not catching her passes. Their timing is off since they aren't used to each other yet. The other thing is, I'm not sure what a foul is anymore since I started watching the WNBA. The refs let some hard fouls go (holding, grabbing, elbows, shoulders, etc) and then they will call touches. One person described it as prison ball, and I would have to agree with him. The refereeing needs fixing.
She’s being blitzed on PnRs and that’s how she has too many turnovers. The athletes in The W are the best in the world, not college athletes - bigger, taller, stronger, faster. CC is gonna be fine. When she gets used to that, we all will see her shine. She has great passing instincts. I saw a beautiful wraparound pass that led to an assist. She also forced some passes. I saw some plays where she forced the pass to the roller when the low-person and strong-side help was there, thus turnover. Once she realises “oh that one I can’t do here. This pass, I can’t still do.”, she’s gonna be fine. On one play in the preseason, Erica Wheeler executed a ram screen on Aliyah Boston which forced a switch because of that STS action directed by wheeler. CC made a beautiful pass to AB and she finished over a smaller defender. They need to run those more.
First time i watched wnba. Even the nba in the 80s was less rougher. Assume this type of physical contact is something the previous wnba market base enjoyed
The greatest assit in NCAA history can't assist with no TEAM or COACH for it
IDIOCRACY CONFIRMED. EXCUSES ARE LIKE OPINIONS… which are like anuses (that’s a**holes, a**holes 🤨😂): EVERYBODY HAS ONE 👀😳😂 You clearly haven’t watched NBA or WNBA basketball. EVER.
So many excuses in one paragraph, but I'll just address one. Assists is technically a team stat. If Caitlin is 4th in assists this means that only 3 other teams are handling assists better than Indiana. Stop blaming the team, the turnovers are hers.
The 35 foot shot she hit last night made the whole crowd electric! I was there, and WOW. I got goosebumps.
I’m jealous!! That looked awesome on tv
Happens every night in that league buddy, been happening for years...- Taurasi
@@FrederickQuick-qp3qd The only difference is that nobody cared!! Now with more people watching they might.
Her early struggles are simple. WNBA pros got sick of hearing her name and are playing the hardest defense they’ve ever played in their life’s against her. You’re seeing playoff D against her at the beginning of the year.
They'll only Make her stronger
Yeah man, in one play she wasn't even on offense but playing defence the opposing point guard but all 3 of them cornered her into a hard screen and she was knocked flat
I don’t think everyone is playing harder. Liberty played like usual and are heavy loaded offense. Connecticut Sun are hard nose defensive team. It’s a massive step up. All the rookies are struggling in one way.
Reese is not struggling 👑
@@jrod9729Reese sucks and isn’t even worthy of tv air time
Candace Parker is the GOAT 🐐
I'd personally go sue bird or Cheryl swoopes
Clark is goat already, pleaaase
@@getupmydarling goat turnover machine
if you considered being a single mom and failed to keep her family GOAT
@@vnxdragontalking about basketball, loser.
A.Boston had deleted all social media accounts. CC fan base attached her with nasty racist messages after the game. The black community wants her to be traded. We dont think she deserves this type of hate speech nor her teammates.
It’s not CC fans being horrible to AB, it’s men.
@@kyliemccarthy6920 Yea I fw AB and that's unfortunate. But most of the sports fan base is men so it makes sense
@@kyliemccarthy6920 It CC fan base. You cant separate her color from a white man's. Media white owned. It's gotta be pretty bad. The funny thing is it playing black teams that brought attention to CC.
Have you ever in life see one person get this much attention. For breaking a scoring record. Have you seen The Gamecocks get any attention. 38 and 0. People break records all the time. Teams don't win a championship game going 38 and 0 that rear.
@@mischievoustimes8460 I’ve seen men of different races saying terrible things about the game. CC has only praised AB so I don’t think it’s fair to assume all these people are CC fans.
I am new to watching the wnba. The thing that struck me first is the thuggery the refs allow on the court. After a few games I concluded that the wnba must play under a different set of rules, so I down-loaded their rulebook. There are a few differences in the rules, but nothing to account for the extreme hacking and pushing I was seeing. I am not talking about action in the low post. I was seeing players being run down and trampled with no whistle. I don't expect ref's to be perfect. I did some refereeing and saw how difficult it is. It is a hard job. But I am assuming that, as professionals, they are required to review and critique their work. Every referee (or at least most) wants to "let them play", but they also have a responsibility for fairness and player protection. There are remarkable players in the wnba, but the league will not reach its potential as long as it looks like "prison ball".
Last night there was probably 5 or so fouls that would have been flagrant in the NBA. The type of fouls the NBA got rid of 15 years ago. You can say the NBA has gotten “soft” but those rules and fouls are for player safety.
How much better did they look in game 4. Its coming
😂😂
agree. Young team getting to know each other. They are learning to fight back and gel better
Hmm that didn’t work out
That part. We all see it. Once they get rolling rolling, it's going to be ELECTRIC 😤🙌
I had never been interested in the WNBA until Clark came along. How many millions of sports fans are like me? Box office success is where its at.
I wasn't even interested in SPORTS until Caitlin Clark came along lol
@@jamielehman4934 Same here.
This reminds me of Tim Tebow and Christian Laetner 😂
Good insight. First well-rounded commentary from a female commentator yet. Good job👏🏻
Elle, you're overestimating the W. This weekend was a lot of bad basketball and Caitlin's team was horrible! I went to several Fever games last year, the team played horribly and not much has changed, except they have a player who has the potential to score more regularly. Problem is, the other teams in the W know the Fever are a bad team and it's easy for them to press/double Caitlin and expose the bad play AND COACHING of the Fever! The Fever clearly weren't prepared to have her (Caitlin's) level of talent come in and play. They got the #1 pick 2 years in a row for a reason.
Your ignorance coupled with your delusional belief that you know what you’re talking about is astounding.
Listen to these casuals and delusional, believe their own drivel - it’s entertaining :-) They weren’t prepared for CC’s talent?! 🤨😂Her FIRST game was WNBA record, 10 turnovers! Of course, it’s on her teammates and coach 🤨😳😂 NOPE. Everyone underestimates the general EQUAL TALENT TO CC, that permeates the WNBA
@only1adonis ok and? I've seen teams turn over the ball 20 times in one game and still win but your not winning when your slow in transition and you get ate up in the post and your not catching passes that you can't catch because your to slow or missing wide open layups when it matters. Look at allen Iverson rookie season I saw him turn over the ball 15 different times in one game and still win with the 76ers. The fever are trash. Caitlin clark is their saving grace but she's only a rookie so she's expected to make rookie mistakes.
Elle's right about all except one thing: Stewie *absolutely* put some extra sauce on that screen.
Great commentary Elle.
Get Real, Caitlin Clark made history that she is not the big and tall woman to play in basketball. She is not the size matter player and that's the reason how great she is. How many players can shot the basket far far away and her passing skill will be the best as it improves team coordination.
Finally. Thank you.
She’s already making a big difference in a team known for losing. She can’t do it all but the improvement overall is there. Wish they’d all come to her level sooner than later.
Well said
I agree, Elle.
Sorry I watched this, but why did she hold up 2 fingers when saying "one, and only one"
You know, one plus one equals two. :)
I also smiled when she did that.
Indiana needs to focus on the Center position or power forward that can make layups. Seriously.
And a point guard that can handle the ball without creating turnovers
Caitlyn will adapt and rise to the challenge!
I know she is the great white hope for the WNBA but she deserves fair criticism not excuses
Best comment.
Yeah, unfortunately I think you’re right. She’s Tebow with tatas…
WELL SAID!!!
Young girls can work hard and play in the WNBA and get the crap beat out of you just be a UFC Fighter. I prefer college play
ESPN promote Elle to do more speaking stuff for the WNBA because unlike others, I feel like her assessment is fair and realistic. You have one side that straight hating and the other side farming clicks for engagement. This is such a great take.
ANNNNDDD Tuesday morning...The Fever showed what they were about last night. Caitlin Clark puts up another 17 point game. Her teammates finally kick it into high gear and they only lose by 2 to the top defensive team in the league. That's after battling horrible refs who put the Sun on the FT line twice as many times as the Fever. Yeah, CC is all that and more. I said it from the jump, CC needed to take control of this team and she did it these last two games. Now we are seeing the fire in the Fever! And the big heads need to stop talking like Caitlin Clark struggled the first 2 games. No, she was taken out of her position, stripped of her ability to create and placed in the corner as a 2 guard. No one else on that team has any business bringing down the basketball, because no one else on the Fever has the creative ability that CC has. That girl is a DAWG and she's going to make every other player on that team DAWGs too! AND THEY LOVE IT! So just stop with all of this BS about CC. She is showing that she will dominate at this level and bring her teammates up with her, just like she did at Iowa. DAWG!
See this is what people are talking about, you are over hear making excuses about the REFS???? FKN LAME
You people sound like 2010s Tim Tebow fans. You’re not even fans. You’re cultists.
Win or lose it needsto be entertaining and cc game is
At the end of the day, CC is already showing improvements same with this team and being more comfortable. Its fun to watch. Last time they play Connecticut, they got whooped. This time around was down to the wire. Will continue watching this team.
Haters being up turnovers every chance they get and don't even realize she's improving in that department. They really think she's getting 10 turnovers every game for the whole season lol.
Just like in the NCAA tournament she is getting the ball stolen from her all the time. Her handle is suspect and that's why she has so much pressure on her because she can't dribble.
@@darrynf406 She has so much pressure because they want to pound her to the dust for showing them up by being more populare than all of them put together even before playing a single game.
Once someone starts accusing people who disagree with them of being “haters” it’s a clear sign that they know they’ve lost.
Spot on.
3 games in & she’s already setting records 😂😂😂

@@fry5familyYou conveniently forgot turnovers😂
@@BlamaMan Right.
@@fry5family so you just left out the fact she has the most turnovers for the first 3 games in WNBA HISTORY. get out
Turnovers are a misleading stat. Clark gets blamed for her teammates inability to hold on to passes, or refs blantent no call on a kicked ball. Watch all her turnovers and half aren't even her fault.
Give it up, Elle. People are interested in watching exciting players which Caitlin Clark is. Most of the “W” isn’t exciting. It’s hilarious how the media just wants to try to pressure people into watching the rest of the league by guilt tripping. Caitlin is carrying. Admit it or STFU. Her team isn’t great and when she gets acclimated she is going to start lighting people up.
teamwork was much better - even impressive in game 4 against the Sun. Caitlin is doing okay - the more so considering the tight defenses they throw at her.Boston best get in shape quickly - she.s been slow and misses a lot of short shots snd lay ups. .
Multiple things can be true at the same time. CC can be the reason Charter flights came sooner than later, record turnouts, record viewing… and WNBA was garbage in so many ways regardless of having so many great players already. Most people didn’t care. Now they do. Embrace it and use it versus fighting against it.
If she fails, it will hurt the momentum the WNBA has because of her... great leagues protect their superstars, and the W is behind the eight ball already.
she sucks no one cares . average
so what do you suggest, Defenses take it easy on her, Refs give her bogus calls??? The answer is she has to PLAY BETTER. SIMPLE!!!!
No, you folks did overestimate Clark with little or NO respect for the current and or Former Players by comparison. There are certain folks that also want to DRAG down Clark's College and or Pro teammates. Therefore anytime there is success, they can claim it's all HER. That's really pathetic. The FEVER's top STARS are all YOUNG players playing against this SEASON, seasoned VETS. Did anyone even mention that the Suns top DRAFT pick won't even be available until after the Olympics. Any by the looks of, she is a Straight up Baller. Leila Lacan. Guard out of France.
Clark is goat
@@getupmydarling😂😂😂
CC is not overestimated, nor was the WNBA underestimated. Also CC is not able to win games by herself.
Having Kelsey Mitchell back should help her having another backcourt scorer and ball handler
Dont just look at CC BUT look at the rest of the league, ? THEY ARE because of her. Its a great thing
As a cc fan that’s new to the W; it’s really annoying reading so many ignorant takes. I agree 1000-% with Elle Duncan.
Her take is stupid. Caitlin's fans didn't say anything that underestimated the other great players. And they aren't disappointed in her but in her coach and teammates. Caitlin skeptics underestimated her.
@@AJVP7You just proved her point!🥴 I’m convinced that CC fans are MAGA cult loons cuz what? Y’all are absolutely mad cuz she is losing and now yall have bullied AB to the point she had to shut down her social media account. Sounds like something out of deranged magats “Christian” playbook for sure.
@@AJVP7underestimated her how? Everyone who is not deranged said she would not come in and dominate in the WNBA which is what is happening. Yall called everyone haters.
How Refreshing……Competent And Knowledgable Analysis…..Thank You
The thing is she is bringing the money.
For now.
💯!!!!!!!
(Candace came in on a perfect storm her rookie year: 1) SHE’s All-time AMAZING!! … 2) Parker actually entered 2008 to a decade long winning team - who happened to have the worst season of the league in the middle of that decade for one year, 2007) … Caitlin is coming in on a team that has had just one winning season since 2013, and have only won single digit amount of games every year but 2 since like seven years ago … I don’t k is if Cc will ever be CP level great - but they are each came under very different circumstances
Te amo!!!!
Excuses excuses
This is a result of casual fans who follow their "Savior" in the professional world. I hope CC is successful, because if thats what it takes to bring more attention and money in this league, then im all for it. They want everything instant. Let her mature in this league like how every other person who transitioned from college to the pros.
BS. What result of casual fans? Caitlin skeptics are acting like Caitlin fans are all newbies and all expected her to dominate immediately and are panicking. That's a BS narrative, not reality.
Ah yes, a racist dogwhistle. Of course you're implying that fans only follow her because she's white. No, new fans are following her because she's an exciting player. NBA got new fans from Magic and MJ. Golf got new fans from Tiger Woods. Stop with the "savior" racism. The WNBA's product has traditionally been awful, and if it's not currently awful, it's going to take a player that is exciting enough to break through and change the narrative. The WNBA still has work to do on its product, but it's way better than it used to be, and CC is the reason I gave it a chance.
Casual fans? Those fans followed her since high school.
@@rap3208 Some of the fans from Iowa did that. But its stupid for people to act like Caitlin's fans are all casual or new fans.
@@AJVP7 All the more that it proves she brought new fans to the wnba, lots and lots of fans. The league and the other players should take advantage of it because these attention to them won't last especially if the Fever will keep on losing and they'll lose the Caitlin effect.
This is the time for the other players to shine and show their worth to a large audience that never bothered to watch them before. Perhaps they can get fans for themselves aside from their families, friends and 4,000 fans as they get put in the spotlight especially during games against the Fever. If they still fail and only Caitlin continues to draw the crowds, it just means they weren't marketable in the first place.
Great commentary. CC is learning to adjust to the pros. There is immense talent in the WNBA and the vets are getting to show their talent to new viewers. Great time for the W.
Thank you Elle!
Best to come
Nobody said make it easy for her . Its her 1st season she’ll be the goat When alls said and done 🇮🇪
I haven’t watched the wnba in YEARS. I came back because of Caitlin Clark and has honestly been impressed by how well the wnba women are playing.
Where's the other rookies facing double and triple teams on them? Where's highlights of the other rookies getting welcome to the league jaw crushing screens put on them? The jealous league gonna show its true colors. Unless all rookies treated the same can't really compare them.

I heard fire coach Sides!! Really! Come on
Crazy.
Sides sucks. She was a division 2 coach before the pros and her coaching style is outdated but to be honest what coach in the nba would still have job after 1 losing season and possibly a second
Caitlin Clark stats 1 and 6 record, averaging 5.3 turnovers, averaging under 50% from the field as well 37.1 to be exact. She has 31.6 3pt FG%, she terrible on defense and her plus/minus is -10.3 you're welcome.
And once again we’re back to the excuses & gloss over the facts.Geez.
Its the wnba. What did people think it would be like?
Now, can we all go back to making fun of them?
Man this coverage by all these media channels is pathetic. Next they will say Caitlyn’s 5th loss is really good for her 😂
Caitlin isn’t it, she’s all hype & it’s going to be proven.
Best analyses of all time!!!
We underestimated the hate of the vets and the broadcasters like on this video.
Success in this “for profit” business is measured by entertainment value, merchandise, TV deals and butts in seats. Not championships if no ones watching.
I see that it should not be easy for Caitlin or excuses made.
But this league should know where the movement is coming from and it’s not from your existing players. She IS the one responsible for chartered flights and sold out arenas. That’s a fact.
If nobody watches your championships you’re disrespecting yourself and not making the game interesting.
She’s her own movement. You are disrespectful by calling her a moment and not a movement.
The spotlight is not shared. This is equity not equality. Nobody watched these amazing players you think should share the spotlight. It’s.been proven by the viewership.
Did Michael Jordan or Steph Curry have to “share” the spotlight to highlight how good their peers were because no one paid attention to them? Really?
Stop trying to force the equality and build equity instead.. Caitlin will bring everyone up organically. You can’t force everyone to like everyone else as much as her. I think that’s what is called “thirsty.”
No, you’re just a frothing casual & a cultist.
Nope, we’re holding her accountable since her deranged fans said she could play with the pistons! Now she’s struggling to keep the ball from getting stolen and they want sympathy and prayers! One thing about those tables …
She is struggling bcoz of the defense given to her as if its already a finals. Look at the other star players of the team, have they double team or triple team them? They are just bunch of jealous people who intimidated by a rookie!
Struggling to keep the ball? What games are you watching? Most of her turnovers are on passes that should be caught and finished. She's not out there getting stripped left and right.
There is nothing that will bring out the actual competitiveness of a woman than to be envious of another woman getting more attention from others. WMBA has been subsidize by the NBA since its inception and has never turned a profit. You have someone new who has talent, doesn't do the whole girl boss anti male shtick, and has people actually tuning in, and spending money to see her and subsequently the rest of the Legue, and you're trying to take her out: players and female pundits. LMAO! Clark is the best thing to happen to that league in a while and should do what they can to promote her, bring more viewers and spenders into your league and make more money for all your players. Its a business after all! But I doubt they will, because all they know is to make controversy and try to undercut other women. Don't expect a debate, my time is more valuable lol
They are promoting her, but she has to hold up HER end, cant be playing like trash out there with ZERO defense and a million turnovers
$28 Million.
Now....Wilson.
She made history with the most turnovers (in the first 3 games) in wnba history ?? 😧
Also one of three rookies to make 50 or more points for her team in the first three games…only her / Parker…sue bird…in 28 years…where none of them were defended in the fashion CC has been…wait for it…
@@alainmandado she goated 🐐
The defense is going to get more intense because it is obvious she can't dribble.
@@darrynf406 💀💀
@@darrynf406 She was always driving to the basket going around 2 or 3 players. Your hate makes you see only the things you want to see.
The fever need to permanently bench CC or cut her immediately. She can't score a point to save her life. She's done nothing to move the needle in the W. She's hurting the league and her team. Last year they were playing like a championship caliber team. CC"s done nothing to help with attendance, gate, tv ratings, ticket sales and prices etc. The fever need to build their team offense around Boston she's a scoring and defensive machine. The rest of her draft class all 3 rounds are already averaging 30 or 40 points a game. Over 10 assists each not to mention the blocked shots. Not to mention no turnover's that's why team's lose. Reese, brink etc are already playing like 10 year veteran players. 😉😉
When you are the number one pick, unless there's a trade, you end up on the worst team. Caitlin is a shooter and some. She will be alright. Much like when Pat Bev got into Lonzo Ball to make a point, the same will be done to Caitlin. It should only make her better.
Lonzo Ball-Another oversold mediocrity. He’s also out of the league now.
Simply the best, not even Diana can compete!!!
She’s going nowhere with that team. But she will change the wnba.
0-4
garbage analysis
If this is yall benchmark for disrespect, then please stay inside 😅
Ungrateful already😂 they've been on welfare until Caitlin Clark came to wnba.
The WNBA is great basketball
Did we overestimate her WBB soul vs all the $? She needs to FIGHT and stand up, make moves for HER game and this moment - SHE HAS EARNED IT. FIRE SIDES, ASAP. Take page from Reese, Clark has x100 the clout (EARNED).
From what I have seen thus far. No one has under estimated the rest of the league. These woman think they are better than they are. They are not that good as a whole. The WNBA overall is boring to watch. Maybe it’s the rules, I don’t know for sure, but I know for sure the referees call the game one sided. Maybe they are part of this whole woke BS they are trying to get the rest of the country to buy into. CC got two favorable foul calls in Monday nights game late in the second half and I think she only got those calls so that the referees would appear to be impartial. That is definitely not the case. They let Caitlin get mugged time after time and no call at all. And they have called her for a couple of fouls already this season in which she made clean blocks or contact with all ball. I am not dismissing that there is some talent but it’s not great talent across the board. And I’m willing to listen, but I think it could be the rules are different in the WNBA than in college and it makes for a very boring game. I don’t think the WNBA should try to be like the NBA. The men play totally different and have a different skill set than the women. The rules should be complementary to the women’s game. They should be set up in a way that makes the women’s game fun to watch. Again, I don’t have all the answers of what that is but someone should reevaluate where they are.
You don’t have to rig the league for her - but maybe don’t give her team the hardest schedule in the entire league and have teams guard her full court and double team her the entire game like it’s game 7 of the NBA finals.
That’s all people are saying. Not that they need to go WWE and just let her dominate. People are gaslighting that it’s one extreme or the other.
The other rookies are NOT getting guarded like that.
I had league pass last year, I have it this year - so I am a fan, I am not gonna leave cause CC is struggling. Candice Parker had a physical advantage - CC isn’t bigger faster and stronger - her game is a skill and rhythm game - so it’s gonna take her time.
There are people celebrating her struggling. Notice the NFL didn’t start Caleb Williams with the Ravens, 49ers back to back, then Ravens again - that’s literally what the WNBA made the Fever start off with. Also she just played a full college season and these super teams are rested and have played together for years.
So it seems like no one wants to have a reasonable conversation about this topic.
Either they are celebrating her struggling like people were waiting for her to fall on her face - or they are on the other side saying make it WWE. Both are wrong. 😑
There is some nuance processing that’s needed here. People are talking about capitalizing on business momentum - that’s not a basketball conversation.
The WNBA is an entertainment company whose product is basketball. The NFL gets that about their sport. The NBA sometimes does. MLB and NHL are starting too but for a long time they have not operated this way.
This is why the NFL is king - they get it. They are a reality tv show whose subject is football. Not a football company that also tries to entertain.
So while we don’t need to be WWE - maybe not the hardest schedule in the entire WNBA??? Like middle ground??
Exactly this
They scheduled the games prior to the draft. The schedule is the schedule.
You have unreasonable people on both sides:
-One side says she's overrated (which she's not)
-One side says she's allready the goat (which she's not)
4 games in you see the improvement and adjustments the team has made. She'll be fine and nothing needs to be changed.
She’s had the most responsibilities for a rookie, hence the turnovers
She cost her team the game yesterday!!
Grace to do what? She's already one of the best players.
Are you high?
@@GrahamCStrouse no
Lol. There's a reason shows like this have low views. Absolute garbage analysis and excuses.
20 nice try though, let alone she’s a rookie ? What were you expecting ?
Not to be a foul & turnover machine?
I am sorry but watching the WNBA is like watching Prison Ball. All that hand checking and body checking with no foul calls. Caitlin Clark is one of the most skilled players right now. She is coming. Just need a better coach. There are only a few players in the W who are so dynamic and CC is one of them.
The way I see it, unless your name is Kareem or Candace Parker, you're not going to dominate from day one in any basketball league.
Even MJ and Lebron struggled in their rookie seasons.
You really are a casual, aren’t you? MJ scored 28 ppg as a rookie. Bron averaged 20/5/5 at age 18. Go home, casual.
Caitlin Clark the best wnba player EVER 🐐
I need whatever you’re smoking
😅😅😅 lies
Truth
We'll let you know in 10 years.
Tell Candace Parker who won rookie of the year and mvp in her rookie year that . Yet you are here talking nonsense.
I swear the comments need to be turned off. Bad takes all around.
you Elle and Caitlin almost have the exact same complexion it seem like it's only you women that feel a certain way about Caitlin Clark though
The Fever literally look better when she is on the bench. She is slow. She gets pushed around. No effort on rebounding until the 4th quarter. She turns the ball over terribly. She can't get open for a shot. She is too loose on the screen cuts. She is in foul trouble every game. Not what I expected at all.
Hold off on the heavy make up Elle! It looks like it’s gonna start dripping off like wet paint
Wow just another hater with excuses. I was never interested in the WNBA until Catlin. Keep hating and reap the rewards she brings to the league. Her gate revenue and TV audiences speaks for her worth. She has not said or disrespected anyone yet individuals like you try to minimize her.
Well i listened for about 10 seconds. Ridiculous.
This reporter missed the point entirely. Whether you like it or not, facts are facts. The reason the league has started off this well thus far is because of the hype and interest Caitlin has brought with her. She is your cash cow. No one cared about this league prior to her entry. She is your Magic Johnson and Bird. All professional sports leagues (that survive) need individuals to help sell it. Stop complaining and start appreciating the positive things that are happening. Anyone that cares about the WNBA at all and has half a brain cell should understand that this girl needs to do well in order for the league to thrive.
Difference is Magic and Bird were dominant players from the get-go. Clark is more like the Tim Tebow of women’s hoops.
Candace did not dominate and shouldn't have won mvp. Stop making excuses for Caitlin Clark. Yes everyone who only watches Clark vastly underestimated everyone else!!! Calling her the GOAT based on college!!! Why are you hurt by Clark failing?
Overrated and over hyped SMH 🙄
coach sides sucks makes dumb comments about players
STOP WITH THE HYPE!!!!!! It will not last unless the fever WIN!!! I hope she succeeds but the HATERS videos as well as the supportive videos are putting TOO much pressure on her and the team. All the sponsor deals and ticket sales does not mean anything until the FEVER wins and she does not break records like TURNOVERS. Leave players like Clark & Reese alone. Let them play. This is the problem with all these amateur armchair expert sports channels.
