36 drafted and only 13 made the team.....
THIS IS WHAT THE MEDIA IS TYING TO BURY.
and that math ant even right and 2 weeks of training camp is crazy ik at least 25 to 26 could have made the team if they had more time
That says a lot because the product is still complete shit
@@josiahbrown5590 It is protectionism for older players. There are too many friendships in this league preventing it from improving.
They don’t have many teams & only 12 spots. Plus the vets that don’t avg much minutes. Pretty sure some rooks could've took their spots but they probably been on the team 2-3 yrs. Like Sydney for the aces. She’s likable & team fav but I know Alexis morris or d henny better than her.
@@_PatrickO1000 % correct
Why can’t women athletes accept any constructive criticism with the intent to improve things, I don’t understand. While at the same time, complain how things are behind and not improving
I don't think you know how women are wired
U most not kno too many women none of them can take constructive criticism but they all can give it
You have to take accountability of your deficiencies first before you can receive constructive criticism. Good luck getting them to do that😂
Key word woman
Have you ever told a woman to lose a few pounds to improve things?
She thought rashad gon say something for her to agree🤣🤣🤣
She’s been disrespecting Caitlin Clark for no reason and Rashad has had enough of it
She's just better than them
@@user-lt1fx2he5s 10 turnovers
@@user-lt1fx2he5s Cap!
These guys don't watch WBB, don't follow the players so their opinion doesn't matter
Sometimes we need to listen to the people who actually played. Sheryl said this just hours before Caitlin went 5-15 with 10 turnovers in her first regular season game. Give her some time to see what she’ll be in the pros.
Exactly
Right now it seems like a team chemistry thing like they’re talking , not that she can’t handle the pace and physicality
Yea she can get better with the turnovers but they only had 2 weeks of training camp so they haven’t had time to gel together
Excuses, Excuses, Excuses 🤣
How is she doing
WNBA cuts players they draft in a matter of weeks. Another reason why this league is in the state it’s in.
There are only 12 teams … genius
@@Queenofpentacles1bro... the league would age out of relevance...cutting half of new players drafted after a month is bs
@@Queenofpentacles1yeah and their league hasn’t ever generated positive revenue ever, genius
Not enough teams u can’t keep everyone
@@colinedwards4959that’s becuz the season starts right after
Y’all take constructive criticism or measured expectations as hate. I hope the CC has a great career but people need to allow her to grow. NBA players didn’t just bow down to Wemby and sang all his praises when he started, but as he showed and proved then the respect from other veterans came
FACTZ. NO DEFENSE. NOT STRONG AT ALL. THOSE 30FT. SUPERSTAR PASSES SHE DID IN COLLEGE WILL TAKE TIME TO FURMENT. HER HANDLES IN THE WNBA IS AVERAGE NOW CAUSE THESE THESE WOMEN ARE FASTER QUICKER STRONGER. IT'S A LEARNING LESSON. BUT DON'T DESTROY HER CONFIDENCE OR THE LEAGUE WILL BE BACK TO BEING IRRELEVANT AND UNWATCHED.
Facts man! You're dealing with yt people who don't know how to handle people who share their same skin tone, having great success in places where the opposite skin tone dominates... They crown and hand over flowers when the work has just begun 🙃... She's one of many elite pro players at their position... She's just the only one that gets full support between the yt and black community... We don't have a problem with supporting good to great players no matter the race, they do! Her complexion is the difference, and it's extremely obvious!
Yeah… they did lmao just be quiet bro.
Sheryl Swoops averaged 30 plus in every round of the tourney and dropped 47 in the championship game to lead her underdog Texas Tech team to the championship. She then won 4 straight WNBA championships with the Houston Comets. Something Clark couldn't do. She has no reason to hate...
5 games in and u sum up her whole career? shes a rookie and actually leading the team points. ur dumb af
Then why hate????
@@monkiferr She wasn't hating...
What year was this
@@camjron I believe 92 or 93
That’s Right McCants her teammates need to build her confidence and get out her way ! 😂💯
Move around 😂🤣
No clark needs to stop turning the ball over
@@willstrick9185 It’s her first game you idiot it takes time to figure it out. She will still end up with 20 tonight
@@willstrick9185relax, every rookie turns the ball over a lot
@@selfishstockton6123 nope nope nope thats false. Its just clark. Yall said she was generational. We will see if any other rookies end up with 8
That’s why the WNBA is not growing. They keep cutting all their young talent and they have these older toxic women just keep bring the game down. They need real changes.
It is a grown up league bro.
There adding two new teams(Comets hopefully). More roster spots
I’ve been saying the samething
They need a D league
@@5starathlete804it's a league no one watches bro and it's trash
She said “look at Lebron” 😂😂
Lmaooo ain’t none of them bron 😭😭
She reaching with that one
Even men are amazed by Lebron 😂😂
The NBA is young young, but there’s a grandpa balling and keeping up.
Ty Ty Ty I got dumbified when she had the audacity to say this. Thought not many noticed this. I hardly like women on these sport shows n podcasts. It’s not a good look esp when their takes make these other dudes look like geniuses. See they keep having a different women on the show that don’t last for a reason. Maybe there is but haven’t seen a all women successful sports podcast. They should strive for that too.
😂😂
I agree with McCants. You can tell the McCant's take burned Swoopes up!!! She was fuming. The current and former WNBA players really want to hate on Caitlyn Clarke.
36 drafted and only 13 made their rosters! Wow!
Swoops is not hating on Caitlyn Clark. She’s offended that people are showing zero respect for the talent in the WNBA.
THANK YOU
People forget Swoops is one if the real goats of the wnba
@@MrOburgess because nobody was watching then unfortunately and they’re trying to change that now with this new class!
Facts imagine how disrespectful it is to the players putting up real numbers. There's atleast 15 players better then cc. It's the media crowning her. Remember jimmer fredette and dough McDermott great college players nba they couldn't make it
@@user-ml6yu9tp6t I agree. I’d say CC at present is a top 25 player in the league. I do think she is getting better every game though.
Gil is the only person making sense. It makes 0 sense to give these girls 2 weeks to adjust. What’s the point of the draft if half the players aren’t really making the team? The more I learn about the WBNA the more I dislike it!
2 weeks is just enough time to figure out which "team" each girl is playing for. If it ain't rainbow then she gots to go.
@@coltononline that’s false if the nba did it this way there wouldn’t be a league at all. Need time to develop
McCants : y’all need to move tf around 😂😂😂
I agree with Rashad. They need to adapt to her style of play. She literally is out there looking like the second coming of Steph Curry in the women's league. You guys need to play around her style of play. She clearly has the talent and Golden State built their talent and style around Steph Curry. It worked out extremely well for them.
These women tryna make the wnba sounds like its competitive
It is for the ones who aren’t generational athletes
It is
it is a different ball game just because no one knows these girls don't mean they suck just like CC don't suck but she's not about to play like she did in college right of the back and anyone who thinks that is nuts lol
@@Obstakill Caitlin isn't a generational athlete. She's skilled but her athleticism is average at best.
It actually competitive than most people thinks
People are watching the college players, not the WNBA players. That's what they're trying to let you know. Like the product's not exciting because nobody knows who they are after college
The college game is not more exciting than the women's pro game. The fact is, the women's college game is not being compared to the women's pro game and the women's pro game is being compared to the NBA. Women rarely dunk in college. Caitlyn Clark doesn't dunk. But a main complaint of the women's game is they do not dunk. Again, they rarely dunk in college either. And the pros are better, faster and more skilled. The pro women are being compared to rpo men and no one is comparing women college players to UCONN, Duke, Kentucky, Texas, or Ohio State men players. No one compared Clark to Duke's Fillipowski.
@@olzt100 doesn’t matter what’s logical or not fans will tune into what’s entertaining. Obvisoulsy the W hasn’t figure that out cause no one watches this except for .00001% of the population and they’re about to change the channel
I think gets more views because we under stand the college teams. The rivalries and the storylines. The W is a very young league and a lot of the teams that were integral to the start were wiped out by the recession, so the storylines and the rivalries are not as prominent. That's why the need for player marketing is there and we hope for CC to bring some of her magic dust with her. But a lot of people have this impression that the league isn't hard which then devalues the same college stars they were cheering for a couple weeks ago, when they struggle. What Sheryl and anyone that has played in the W, and even gil, is trying to say is that transition is very real and you don't have a lot of time to make it
@@TaiyouArt The problem is not with the WNBA but with US Culture. Sad to say, but the US has three hidden gems that affect society, racism, misogyny and pedophilia. It's all hidden until certain things come out. The pay disparity highlighted the misogyny in US women's sport. It's just the US because some women players go overseas and make four times what they make in the WNBA. But the reality is Clark is watched. But how is she going to change anything just because more people are watching? There are already players in the league much better than her. Because more people are watching will not affect her skill or the skill of other players. The losers of the hype will be people expecting college and high school to be the same as the WNBA. If Clark was this once in a generation talent wouldn't she be on Team USA? None of the professionals that choose the world's most dominant women's team are believing the hype. And what will hurt the women's game is the reality that she is good and has room to grow and not a top five player right out the gate. She is not a top 20 women's player in the world at this time. Her reality is that she is likely the second or third best player on the team now. Last year she was the best player on her team. It's a new level and new ball game, regardless of media and fan appeal.
Bruh colleges have their own fan base and that’s been going on for decades
How the current WNBA legends are treating, Clark would be the equivalent of the NBA legends before magic and bird trying to run them out the league Lol
What clark and her class is doing for the WNBA is what the league has needed for years and you have people like Diana Tarasi trying to dim their shine when their success could be the launching point for an improved WNBA
Back when lebron came in the league everyone was clowning on him already anointing himself "king". No end of speculation on Carmelo having a better career. Hell LeBron's teammates actively fought against him a lot in that first season (no surprise given what they said just before the draft the previous season).
Current players / old heads never want to get excited about drafted players. Esp if they're anointed to be the next big thing. TBH Wemby is probably the first time I've seen a player anointed as the next big thing and immediately get respect around the league.
@@kaylee42900took the words right out of my mouth
Because they don't want to build a successful league they just want the money of a successful league handed to them by the men. That's unfortunately how many women are.
lol after last nights game. You can see Diana wasn’t hating she was being real.
@@tristanhuff706 Taurasi happy to 'keep it real' and have nobody care about the WNBA. Talk about not getting it, all eyes on your league and you take that chance to shoot holes in the person who's bringing the eyes. Say less and keep it positive. Smh, the short sightedness is crazy.
Dang it’s like she wants her to fail… “watch the game tonight” smh 🤦🏾♂️
She is right tho. Clark is getting bullied right now
@@willstrick9185 she was the leading scorer on her team and tied for the game high, 20pts + 3 dimes. L or not, that’s a good debut.
@@uncleb7821 wait. 10 turnovers is a good debut?

I agree with mccants
Yeah because when Jordan was scoring 35 ppg they were winning! N. No that’s a stupid take. You don’t win but just letting a player score. You have a talent in Boston as well. Tf she gonna just stand around and watch cc?
@@JohenzBoston is not that nice lolol no where the level as Caitlin Clark
@@coachbighead 15 ppg and Roy but go off
Been a Swoopes fan my whole life and it’s disappointing how much she hates on CC.
It’s disappointing that you didn’t bother to watch the video. She said nothing bad about Clarke in this video at all.
@@christianrapper5but she has in the past. And you keep spamming the comments so you should already know that
@@christianrapper5she’s a hater. U can tell lol. What Rashad was saying was pissing her off 😂
Are y'all gonna come back and say everything Miss Swoopes said was correct and give her her props? Or is she still just hating?
She’s not hating she’s just telling the truth and it proved to be right In game 1
It never fails. Women being jealous of each other over attention takes precedence over everything else.
Never fails bro
The jealousy is crazy that’s fucked up
Men are like that also. Remember when Lebron's teammates hated on him as a rookie? Most are jealous because they don't get the hype as other players.
@@rayj1013 women do it way more.
Bill Burr did tell you what theyre about.
Fever was 13-27 last year.. Fevers first games are against 27-13 and 32-8 teams, the best in conference, I can already see how bad everyone is going to bash her with the garbage Fever starting out losing bad...... Then mid year everyone will stfu
There not beating Connecticut, Phoenix, Vegas , New York or Seattle 🤷🏿♂️
If you look at how players/former players in the NBA talked about Wemby vs. players/former players in the WNBA talk about Clark, it's a night and day difference the levels of support.
You feel....it's that female hate
Everyone should hope she starts balling out. She brings so many eyes. Players should raise her up, it’ll only help them. She’s good for business, like it or not.
The WNBA women aren’t going to realize this until it’s too late. 🤦🏽♂️
Yall want the league to not compete n let her score n get off?? Man GTFOH 😂😂😂🚮🤦🏾♂️
She is and I hope she balls. But they can't keep making the same mistake of letting outsiders set unrealistic expectations for her that then causes people to tune out if she doesn't reach them immediately. The truth is she is going to be playing stiffer competition with a completely new team without a real break since October, let's give her time.
So wtf are they supposed to let her shine and cook them? Lol hell no them same Women tryna take that shine from her to get on themselves. What are yall talking about ? And she was RIGHT. Caitlyn did struggle with the physicality she ain't hating she speaking facts.
EXACTLY
What Gill is saying about age and change of New Talent is ABSOLUTELY TRUE. GET THOSE GRANDMAS OUT THE "W" and stop cutting the new young talent you give 2 weeks to adjust. THE "W" is insane and needs better marketing tired of them complaining and not adjusting their marketing and to the new talent. It's not the 90s anymore. You need to attract younger women to view and they want to see new game play like Caitlin and Angel and other new talents. THE WNBA IS INASNE. ITS NOT THE 90S ANYMORE!!!! GET WITH THE TIMES.
I think the reason the season start so fast.The W wants to keep the eyes on the league.They can’t afford to take months off like nba
Why does every wnba player have this ego about them they don’t deserve to have? Like she disagrees just to disagree wtf
Well Sheryl Swoopes is one of the best female ballers ever. She's more than qualified to judge CC.
@@popetaytv CAP, you can tell she slow.

@@Ghost-pe2tm GUARANTEED !!
Bruh she’s gonna struggle against the top teams..Vegas is gonna punish her
Swoopes already exposed herself as not only displaying conspicuous hate towards Clark and her accomplishments, but also not even really being knowledgeable about Clark and spewing misinformation about her game, leading me to question how much she actually pays attention to women's college ball and how much time she puts into her "job". Remember her saying she was a fifth-year, 25-year-old when she was actually in her fourth year and only 22? How about her implying Clark was a chucker, putting up "40 shots a game" when in actuality she attempted less shots per game than Swoopes herself did in college? “If Kelsey Plum set that record in four years, well, Caitlin should’ve broke that record in four years. But because there’s a COVID year, and then there’s another year, you know what I mean? So she’s already had an extra year to break that record. So, is it truly a broken record? I don’t know. I don’t think so. But yeah, that’ll go in the record books. And, I don’t think it should be.” - Sheryl Swoopes........sounding uninformed as a mfer and hating.
Social media rules 101. Black people are only allowed to cricitize other Black people. If they break that rule, they will be constantly called a hater or racist.
But she was right about Clark struggling tonight
She had a double double.... 20 and 10.. 10 turnovers
Why are you writing essays. Swoopes said she wouldn't dominate immediately and she won't but will adjust.
@@anegril1 If you think what I wrote was an essay, that speaks volumes regarding your education and level of intelligence. Now move along.

McCants 1000 percent correct. You watch the game last night. You can tell she was trying to be a team player... you can even tell the players on her team wasn't worried about her running the team. The passed her up a bunch of times.
Kate Clark will be the only reason why I might watch a wnba game at all this year
Aint no one watching that shit lol
Sad became people who say that only watch for OBVIOUS reasons. Good luck with that.
@@Resist_OppressionI only keep up honestly cause of sports betting 😂😂😂😂😂
Did u watch last night? 😆😆😆
I hope you stay until she adjusts, which probably won’t be until next season
These guys have me here agreeing with Rashad thats crazy
At this point yall hate her cuz she’s yt. Her game is undeniable. Let Reese have gotten off to a slow start. The narrative would have been “give her some time she has to adjust to being a pro.”
Wow I commented before I watched . Swoopes instantly rode Reese jock. And Gil made the valid point that CC needs time to adjust. Point proven
@@benbackpack9922I want to see angel reese' and all the other rookies play their first game this year as I have a feeling the veterans aren't going to go as hard on the rest of them as they will on Caitlin Clark. I could be wrong but I don't think I am. Seriously, from watching the Indiana Fever vs the Connecticut Suns the other day, it felt like the suns were treating that game like a championship game honestly. I may not know as much as about basketball as any of the people in the video obviously, but I can tell the difference when players are playing for a title vs playing a regular game in the season or a meaningless exhibition game.
Unless you're Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan, most players don't play with the type of championship caliber urgency the way the Connecticut suns did the other day against the Indiana Fever, especially when you consider the fact that the fever aren't one of the top teams in the league. Unless you want to tell me that everyone on the suns have a Michael Jordan mentality of even taking meaningless exhibition games serious, I think they were trying to send a message to Caitlin and the world it seems. That's why I want to see the first game of all the rookies in the wnba or at least some others besides Caitlin because I want to see if my theory is correct or not.
@@thewolfofwallstreet627 that’s an extremely valid point . Connecticut will never play defense like that again lol. They just wanted to be the ones to make a statement for all the hype surrounding CC
@benbackpack9922 exactly. Plus, notice how all the Wnba veterans are quick to praise angel reese and the other rookies. Meanwhile, with Caitlin, it's backhanded compliments, it seems. Again I doubt seriously the suns would play like that against anyone during the regular season, especially, against a team they know isn't on their level because they wouldn't want to risk injuries playing too hard against a team they know they can beat unless they were trying to send a message. The New York Liberty didn't seem as physical, but they still played that Indiana road game like it was a playoff game. Honestly, I'm worried about this destroying caitlins confidence because I know she's better than how she's been playing recently. Her teammates aren't helping her get open shots by not setting screens or getting open themselves while dropping passes directly to them. It's ridiculous. It makes me wonder if she has two face teammates that are trying to sabotage her, or her coach is that incompetent to prepare her team for this.
Women are so spiteful….you can tell she don’t know what she talking about and it’s coming from hate. Caitlin averaged 8.9 assists!! That’s getting everyone involved.
Thia is why they won't succeed. Their cutting the future to hold on to dead weight lmao
Don't think she was being spiteful, her honest opinion and based on tonight's results, she was spot on. 20 points on very inefficient shooting, 3 assists, and 10 turnovers.
It has nothing to do with gender it has to do with race. Same way they hating on Jokic.
You said swoopes dk what she talking about when it come to the WNBA?? How crazy that sound
Swoopes was 💯 percent correct about Clark.
But,they say she was hating on Turnover Queen of the WNBA.
She was 0-2 in championship games the all-time leading scorer so in a real game against Connecticut 20 against New York 9 points Swoopes had 47 points in the college championship game and 3 or 4 championships in WNBA
Game was easier back then, also Sheryl didn’t do that well her first W season
She played for Iowa

How does it make team management look to waste their draft picks on players who don’t even make the team?
But they had on nice outfits....
Until the WNBA develops a"G- League" type, they give the ladies a tryout. There are just not enough teams or spots for them right now. So go un drafted or get a tryout 🤷♂️
It's on the league to expand (soundly so you avoid teams disappearing). The NCAAW has about the same amount of teams producing players as the NCAAM, so only the peak .0001% or so gonna make it.
Another avenue is establish smart partnerships with Euro leagues.
You guys who are calling s Sheryl a hater don't know how to take constructive criticism and soft .. first game last night she had 10 TO'S and y'all wanna call her a hater SMH.
She definitely is a hater probably her biggest hater you know how many times Magic LeBron and other great players that's had 10 turnovers in a game smdh swoops has told lies about CC to discredit her so she's disqualified to even speak on CC now
When you have to lie on someone your definitely a hater
Facts
Gil has valid points......36 drafted and only 13 made the teams. Something has to change!!!

@@Real-ez2lgdid A’ja get them private jets or wha?
@@AnthonyThomas-ez4jpdon’t matter..
She is definitely what's bringing America to this Wnba season for the moment . But her game isn't elite unless she shows it . Her arsenal is not even top 10 if measured against a current Wnba star . This ain't Iowa where she has to shoot 30 shots a game .
I watched my first WNBA game last night. Can’t wait for CC to become that #1 option. She will definitely figure it out
She played well considering the circumstances... she has mental toughness.
I saw her play against New York. Caitlin is going do just fine.
And McCants has a point. Does a team have resistance in releasing a player like Taurasi because of who she is, and they'd rather wait for her to retire before replacing her?
All these women want a league like men have but don't want to be unceremoniously cut like the men deal with.
Is that why? Sometimes when the WNBA shooters are by the rim and they shoot the ball, it doesn't even go to the rim because they're so tired and exhausted or weak that they can't reach the ball to the rim. That's when I just turn off TV because I don't want to watch that. That's not exciting. That's embarrassing to watch
Caitlin Clark is the WNBA. Without Clark, the league will lose money yet again for the 26th straight season.

Time will tell....
@@MikeyMike923 Those studs won't bring the money and media attention that Caitlin Clark brings. These women are so toxic they would rather be envious than realize that Caitlin Clark could possibly get the WNBA a lot more revenue, which means a lot more money for them. 🤷😂😂😂
It was interesting watching Kelsey Plum and Diana Taurasi playing ...neither was being denied the ball from the opposing defense like Caitlin was tonight.
She not touching neither one lol. Play her 40 minutes won’t make a difference team 👎🏿
Watch what Taurasi did vs. my Aces. She did great wasn’t enough though
@@jhirmalwinfield3871I’m holding you on this, do you still think the same way?
@@camjron what Kelsey plum do to her last night ?
I saw the interview with Angel Reese begging Michael Jordan to come to a Chicago Sky basketball game because she has never met him. I’m not sure that Michael Jordan knows what the Chicago Sky is….he didn’t even know what “a Twitter” was, a few years ago. However, I salute Reese for humbling herself l, and LeBron James could learn a thing or two about humility from these much younger basketball players like Anthony Edwards and Angel Reese, who both recognize that Michael Jeffrey Jordan is easily the greatest basketball player ever, male or female. ✅✅✅✅
Ok dawg
Very weird comment … very strange
Wait till y'all women hating mofos realize that NBA players are the biggest supports and investors in the WNBA. I'm praying you're not a Kobe fan with this weird ass comment and energy.
What wha🤷
Got your daily lebron comment in I see 👏🏿
This is a good discussion!
1:16 "at iowa she did everything"
Literally her teammate was drafted to the WNBA. Kate Martin is on the Aces roster.
WHY DO YOU KEEP HAVING SHERYL ON THE SHOW?????
How many got charter flights for the w league
Where was the W at before Caitlin Clark?
I know in Vegas we we’re doing just fine
Your white
Swoops is ridiculous talking about the difference of the speed from college to the W. Clark’s style of play in college was AT LEAST as fast as the W teams that she’s played against so far. It’s her W teammates that are slowing her down.
There aren't any old players in the league who aren't balling
WNBA players are going to treat Caitlin Clark how Patrick Beverley did Lonzo Ball.
Negative
As they should
@@BDAthleticInsider I was right. She's getting clamped.
@@kifley19 It’s her first game bro. Damn let her get her get her feet wet
@@BDAthleticInsider no
LeBron as a rookie got criticized by his own teammates!!! Nothing wrong with constructive criticism or blatant hate when it comes to an iconic rookie. Btw Cailtin just scored 20 in her debut, so she'll be fine
It was a very inefficient 20 points with 10 tos but she’ll be fine. As Gil said, they have no time adjust to the pro game.
Clark is over hyped!!!!! She was shut down single handedly by one Raven Johnson, so what people are upset about is how a 2-time undefeated SC team. Too many people did not realize SC was undefeated because of an individual. Swoopes was on a team with Super Cooper (I think the oldest player at the time in the WNBA), Thompson (She was still in college) and the three of them won 4 straight (Micheal Jordan 3 straight). Clark scored most points in NCAA history both male/ female. Lebron score most in NBA history. He's not the goat, but Clark is??? This is where the confusion comes in. She is the goat for scoring (a low bar) but all these other women before her had to be the first option on the team, win some championships finals/ conference, be an MVP, and are expected to do that each year (a high moving bar). Go watch Swoopes put up 47 pts. in a NCAA championship game. Her Texas Tech. vs Ohio St. 84-82 remember she scored 47 pts. That's 37 pts. for the rest of the team. If that's not GOAT worthy 🤷♂
I hope to God this works out for the WNBA. Imagine females rocking Reese's, CC's, AJ's, or Cardoso's sneakers and jersey's, heck they might bring back the jersey dresses from the 2000's. 🤣🤣🤣
Get that hate out of here
McCants says LeBron is taking a roster spot. At 38 Lebron is playing at a higher level than 95% of the NBA.
You've got a knack for this, loving your content!
These dudes just be talking sometime, she was absolutely right, clark was trash tonight with a gang of turnovers, let her play some games before crowning her the best
Women are always hating on other women. Clark is bringing more eyes on then sport then ever before
The average age in the WNBA is 27yo. The average age in the NBA is 26. The issue is there are way more roster spots in the NBA and they allow players 19 & up.
The WNBA on the other hand requires American players to be 22 & up EXCEPT foreign player who only have to be 20.
The BIGGEST problem with the WNBA is that they really don’t want to develop rookies. They’d prefer that, unless you’re a unicorn, that you take your butt overseas for a few years, develop your game there, then come back when you’re ready. This is why they allow younger foreign players. They’re allowed to go pro so young that they come to training camp ready to go.
I low agree with rashad because if they start winning with caitlyn way to play it would make sense specially if that start winning
That’s not how the game of basketball is being played
10:05 no way her response was "LeBron still playing" 😂😂😂😂😂 lady there is NO LeBron in the WNBA. Matter of fact they need to cancel the whole league for what you just tried to do 😂😂😂 smh Women ☕
For real lebron is a freak of nature no nba star has been that productive at his age.. You can't use him as an example like o look but unicorns fly so donkeys should too gtfoh
Wnba won't get canceled because their NBA sugar daddy will still provide the money for their trash, unappealing product
Thank you Rashad never thought I would say that 🙏🏾
C’mon folks, everything said about Caitlin is not hating, some are legitimate statements from experts that played the game at a high championship level. The people that exaggerated her greatness are the ones that put a bulleye on her back and will make her adjustment to the WNBA much worse than it is.
She’s not hating she’s talking about playstyle and adjustments in the first year. She doesn’t have the same team and chemistry she had in college. They also have less time to build chemistry. They had a 2 week camp right after the draft.
Returning after a 71- 92 defeat and people saying she had 10 turnovers because she’s a rookie… EXACTLY!
She literally has been playing good and is currently playing good right now in the opener. She joined and the WNBA already added more privatized flights. All the WNBA players who are active esp younger love her. Her teammates love her. She already is close to the starting point guard of whom she will be taking her spot. Funny how that works. But yes these hating ass older WNBA players are totally not hating.
@@tyreek.6815 she’s not hating bro, she stated some facts and gave an opinion based on them. Even if her opinion is wrong it doesn’t mean she’s hating. The facts I said she stated are still facts she’s just wrong.
@@Blindcontrollershe’s been hating on cc this isn’t her first time on the show speaking negatively on cc. The first time she was on the show she said cc record for most points scored in ncaa history not valid because she got an extra year due to covid. She lied because cc didn’t play 5 years. She was also hating on her during the first preseason game that she was announcing and now this. They all hating on her that simple.
@@BlindcontrollerPlease just leave em. This generation is weird, you have to praise all the time. You can't have any conversations, just praise and praise only
Bruh, you’re wasting your time. She literally said nothing bad about Clarke in this video. People just read the title and started commenting.
Angel Reese is mid. Caitlin Clark score 20 points and they say she struggled 😂😂😂 Angel score 13 and they say she balled out 😂😂
You feel me....keep in mind, the fever played one of the best teams in Wnba... They had all 10 eyeballs on her, and she dropped 20....that's a great night in wnba.
10 turnovers is struggling
5/15 and 10 of the points were in garbage time
Context matters, also can compare scoring output because one is a guard that always has ball in hand the other is a PF/C that depends on guards in order to get the ball
@@JCrossover123 huh, garbagae time...did they stop playing defense or something? They wnba ain't letting her get nothing, She earned that 20. Say what you want. I watch the game.
@@JCrossover123 all Angel Reese points are garbage time 😂😂. 5 or 6 layups a game
She can avg 25-30 pts a game but if her team continues to get blown out every game all that hype will die down quickly
You gotta spend 4 years in college just to enter the WNBA. Now you’re telling me they cut 30% of the draftees before the league even starts ?
Damn.
McCants right……. Get Out of my way…… It’s my time.
Didn't work tonight
She had 20 and missed the entire first quarter in foul trouble
That wasn’t an easy 20. He chucked up a bunch of 3s, some iso buckets (slack off defense to avoid fouling) and fouls shots
5 out 15 shooting
10 turnovers
-12 proficiency
Ten turnover
Watching this before I watch the highlights
Swoops hoping Clark fails
I actually agree with Rashad
McCants is 100% correct. This how you gets eyes on wnba.
lmao yes get all the eyes on the wnba just to watch you play bad, makes sense.
It’s amazing. I feel like Sheryl Swoopes wasn’t listened to, more than she should have been.
As an experienced WNBA league player & champion, you can tell she’s real in tune to what she’s talking about.
I also agree with Jaylyn Sherrod. She did damage with the short amount of time she was in the last preseason game. Two steals & layup in under 5 minutes.
Sherrod is a great defender while at Colorado, and to cut her from the team? Really?
I’m sure the New York Liberty had their reasons, whatever they may be.
Way to go S.S. You were on point.❤️
36 drafted and only 13 made a squad shows that the draft pool is trash 🗑️
NBA draft pool isnt great but the league incentivises rookie contracts and penalizes veteran contracts.
No, there’s simply not enough spots.. 12 teams, 15 players, barely any turnover cause people are staying in the league 10 plus years.. when you don’t know about something and you comment you kinda make yourself look stupid 🤷🏾♂️
Not enough teams
@@5pazzso the league is trash.
@@mycitysucks8096 people just started watching this year because of this white girl 🤷🏾♂️ it’s never been good business model, never made any money and it doesn’t cater to casual basketball fans.. the league isn’t trash as far as talent, but it’s definitely trash from an organizational standpoint.. I just feel like it was never run right from the beginning.. 12 teams ain’t even a league fr
When you listen to players like Rashad, you understand why they were bust and scrubs in the NBA.
LeBron can't do a Euro without traveling his game is basic. Gilbert Said it not me 😭
Very good discussion. Enjoyed listening to everyone's thoughts.
Here she go 🤦🏾♂️
u ain’t even watched a sec & u on here hating already sad 😂😂😂
😂
@@richpre21 Thats how they do especially when Luka and Jokic is a part of the conversation. The Gil haters come out in droves even though they watch this podcast faithfully. 🤣🤣🤣
you watched a 17min video in 1 minute? crazy
@@richpre21 I mean ALREADY.
Sheryl is preaching and I’m watching the game right now.. Clark is getting cooked!!!! She can’t guard and she’s turning the ball over toooo muchhhjhhh 🤷🏽♂️
Who cares about guarding shutup.
