Me personally, this is better. It's much more engaging because of the everyone wants to come to an all-star game but the tickets get taken so fast that most people are left with frowns. I would say let's give it a shot , if it doesn't work they'll probably go back to their old formula
Great point. Hopefully more opportunities for those wanting to attend
WNBA controversies and free press I am beginning to believe that this is the plan of the WNBA. Every flagrant foul, every racist comment, every snub brings a media sunami. Fans rage and there's opposition backlash. X gets thousnds of comments on both sides and Bloggers get a ton of fodder for their clips and news outlets get thier next story. Do you understand how much FREE press the WNBA is getting. It’s millions and millions of dollars worth. I'm not blameless. I look for info about Caitlin all the time. But we have to consider the idea that we are part of the problem too. The WNBA has manipulated us and we still follow.
That’s a great point. It’s unfortunate that the media machine is manipulated this way, but that seems to be the easiest way to attain fame and power in the modern world. It’s probably a smart play for the WNBA to get more headlines but it also does feel cheap and inflammatory to me as a fan of basketball. I do wonder if it causes any sort of long-term damage, but news cycles are fast and we are quickly on to the next story. We try and keep discussion nuanced on our show and will continue to do so.
The team will lose millions. Not a smart move.
Everyone?!🤷🏿♂️
Hopefully you can tell by the video that we're more just highlighting some of the absurdity of the never-ending controversy she is thrown into. She can hoop. We're definitely not angry 😀
Everybody is angry at CC for no reason. They are jealous and bitter plus they won’t admit it, they are also racist.
Let’s be real we all know Stern put that call in that year NYK had them down 2-0! 🤣.
It just oldies and people who can’t afford League Pass lying about the game and spreading false narratives. There have been so many great games this year. Even the In-Season had some extremely competitive games. I don’t what these people are seeing. And don’t get me started on the lies told about the overall physicality back then 😂
Thank you! I get tired of people tryna use ratings to sh** on the current era, this ain’t the damn 50s. Most of the people complaining don’t even own a League Pass and don’t even watch the games. Literally just brainwashed by the oldies and noobs who don’t even know how TV ratings work
Get rid of the illegal defense rule. The NBA is not basketball without helpside defense. Anyone who has ever played likes watching tough defense. And those people who played suck family and friends into watching games. That’s why women watch football - cuz guys who played promote it and get super excited about it. The illegal defense rule is equivalent to removing sacks and interceptions from football so teams can score more touchdowns.
Definitely would be willing to try anything that helps defenses out at this point.
They haven’t arrived yet, so stay present. As of right now, it is Caitlin Clark. It’s okay if you give her props, you aren’t going to be less black if you do so.
thank you for havng me on the show!
Appreciate you coming on, Nick!
Great show
Thank you for listening!
Awesome story
Great show guys! Thanks!
Thanks for listening! Learned a lot we didn’t know in this one!
Bronny been at the diddler parties
Sam Gilbert was the reason UCLA won . JD Morgan also influenced the NCAA Tournament
I left a comment on a short, and I’ll leave it bc of the shout out to my team that I love. But I take back my sentiment bc the attack is still centered just on Caitlin fans when it’s not just her fans,.. and the way it is said isn’t some fans, you attack all of us. Did you see the Sky players crying about the attacks received from their own fans? Journalists at that exit interview tried to steer that convo towards Caitlin fans no doubt, but they’ve double downed on some of the most hurtful attacks coming from Sky fans. There’s a lady on Twitter (RM) who apparently rolls deep with wnba players / media (can’t confirm how tied in she really is), and she made a disgusting statement about Caitlin that I won’t repeat but was extremely harmful to her and triggering to so many. She associated Caitlin with something truly horrific. Where’s the energy for that? I have defended Diana from the start, many of us have. The media is the one who repeated this Diana story and riled up the more casual fans. Media should be able to talk about groups of people, or fans, without generalizing us. And Twitter should not be your measuring stick. Justin is an example of someone in the media who doesn’t want to give Caitlin credit for anything and blames only her fans (all of them) for all the terrible fan interactions that happen. It’s not hard to see. Terrika has more nuance and i feel like she has seen the good side and bad sides of different fanbases now. I will follow her, but I won’t be back here.
This is Justin- I appreciate the feedback. I’ve been saying on previous episodes that Caitlin is a phenomenal player and will be in the hall of fame. And I was critical of the journalist who said inappropriate questions at her press conference when she was first introduced. My point was is that players in the league are untitled to feel anyway they want. I agreed the hateful comments towards all players in the W needs to be stopped. My issue is with the commissioner of the league and her inaction towards comments made about Clark and other players.
Thank you for saying nice things about our fanbase. We don’t get a lot of that, and if Caitlin wasn’t so special to so many of us, it would be easy to move on from somewhere it feels like you aren’t wanted, or are publicly associated to the behavior of boundary-less internet trolls. If people are honest with themselves, they’ll admit that nobody but her “delusional” fans believed this team could be here from the start. She didn’t have to win championships at Iowa for fans to follow her to the next level. And she didn’t need to win everything this year for us to stick around. I’m so proud of this Fever team: Caitlin (C²), AB, Kelsey, Lexie, Lyss, E Dub, Temi, Mama Lou, Aunty Danty, the bench mob of Wally, Grace, and V. Coach Christie and her staff. Revenge is quick and it’s sweet. - KB
The amount of people that refuse to give Caitlin Clark credit is astounding.
Id watch more NBA if they had less commercials
anthony edwards should average 30 pts per game to be top 3
Thanks for Watching!
You got to look at the fact that the NBA play way more games than the NFL, with way less players on the roster. So of course NBA contracts are far more guaranteed than NFL contracts.
It’s possible if the attitudes of spoiled rotten players and associated people can get their heads out of their behinds, the entitlement they flip around like those long wigs they wear for ridiculous fashion is astoundingly infantile, they can’t see past their own prejudices. We all see it, you can’t hide from the camera out there.
I like your video but 12 good stars, huh? I’d like to refer you back to the WNBA All-Star game
Knowing we only got a year is sad but I definitely prefer that to nothing!
This a joke?
What’s hilarious and stupid is that yeah she can shoot, but boy does she llay with a ton of heart. And that is what REAL FANS love and want to see. REAL FANS that want and love to see competitive games. Not overpaid lollygaggers.
Need time stamp chapters!!! Such as: 8:26 NBA players shoot too many 3s 18:15 Lob City 27:07 difference between Ballmer and Sterling
This discussion with Scooby Axson sounds fantastic! LeBron's re-signing, Bronny's future, and France's rising NBA talent are captivating topics. Excited to hear more about NIL's impact on the league!
MAYBE was, def not IS
Maybe but its like Iraq there.
NBA is terrible. Haven’t watched in 20 years.
Lakers gearing up for another 1st round exit next year😂
REES AND KENNEDY ARE THUGS AND SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY ARRESTED AND JAILED. CHICAGO SKY MUST BE IMMEDIATELY BANNED
Ain’t nobody expecting people to bow down…. But if angel Reese was catching bows to the face every night like that there would be absolute riots in the name of racism going on! Stop perpetuating the narrative that “it’s just the way it is”. No it’s not. End of story.
This is a fake ring. Every single team they faced in the east lost their best players.
Good luck on your podcast. Just commenting to help the algorithm.
Appreciate the support!
That foul was a 2, automatic expulsion from the game and a heavy fine. Make her actions cost her pocket book.
I find the comments of Caitlin Clark not being able to make Olympic trials because they were scheduled when she was in the final four disingenuous. Did rookies Diana Taurasi, Candace Parker, and Breanna Stewart attend all the Olympic practices 3 years prior to the Olympics will making deep ncaa championship runs? Probably not. I got league pass to watch Caitlin Clark, and I will cancel my subscription when the season is over. Never watched any women’s basketball until Caitlin in Iowa. Overall I prefer how games are reffed in college than in the WNBA. There is way more airballs in WNBA and an uglier iso game compared to college. As of now I don’t think WNBA has the ability to promote their own stars, and must rely on college superstars to transfer their fanbases to the WNBA.
Did not attend training camp CC can not play. OK. Neither has Gray and what about Griner did she attend when side lined?
Until recently, I haven't watched the W since Lisa Leslie . I got interested again because of Angel Reese, but then fell in love with the game. I try to watch every game , but I have to be honest, I am exhausted, with CC , Manufacture discords, I just want to talk about the game, teams, and players. The narrative of Wnba against CC frustrating. Fever and Sun ,DiJonai Carrington plays a great game. What was the report her mocking CC . Really. Sun and Sky had a game last night, and Angel Reese played her best game in the W . Hear crickets. You guys report CC not making Olympics. Is this really a story, I guess, so you're reporting about it. Now I can't watch you guys .
Hey, thanks for listening! Plenty of interviews in our library with reporters and authors covering the W if that’s of more interest. Howard Megdal and Rachel Bachmann to name the 2 most recent. As the game grows there will be more analysis across the league from all media as well… much of our video here is frustration with the coverage as well.
🤡
Arm chair convo i watched the whole video and seems yall are ten convos behind but you do you js
He is probably betting against the Fever. Ill bet the farm that money is the problem here.The refs are doing well and so are the coaches,
Personally, I was expecting more from the coaches and the refs.
How did Clark flop?
Chennedy ASSAULTED CC22! The basketball wasn't even inbounded when she was decked. Why do you believe it's just a hard foul? REVIEW AGAIN! Then post your thoughts!!!!!!
Right, not a foul except maybe a technical coupled with ejection and suspension. Throw in a drug test. That was not normal behavior.
What the problem for the fever is the Boston and CC play two different styles of basketball and Boston is also going through her sophomore slump season due to not training in the off season. She only did weight training…she is off of shape to play the style that CC plays which is fast paced…she is being moved from the center position to the forward being expected now to be able to set screens in a totally different location from where she is used to, get the pick and roll from a different position and still having to get them chemistry with CC. Temi on the other hand is the better player for CC. They have built a great chemistry, she is able to run the floor and knows that if she gets there CC will find her…trust has been built between them. Problem is she is injured due to this high number of games in such a short amount of times. We are lucky CC injuries so far hasn’t been something that’s kept her from playing so far but even if it should like the NY game she wouldn’t sit out because she never wants to disappoint fans because she knows that many has paid alot of money and some traveled far, changed their schedules, took of from work, given up important events to be able to come to her games that she never wants to not perform for them. This team truly needs to think about getting through this season and building around it i the off season for next season with some trades and building blocks in the draft. They are going to need another high volume 3pt shooter and a big in the post…if Boston can’t adjust to this style of play it won’t be fair to either her or CC if after this season to force her to remain on the team and not trade her to another team to would allow her to thrive in her style of play. I would love if they could trade her for Camilla because Camila can run the floor but there is no way that the sky would give up Camilla…the sky isn’t playing a fast paced style of play and Boston would fit in more with their style of play and would thrive under the coaching of Witherspoon. Another trade to make would be trade Kelsey Mitchel who to me doesn’t fit in with this team and is too much of a ball hog. Once she gets the ball she never really passes it off…at most she will pass it off maybe once or twice in a game but that is it…she too would be great to trade with the sky for Marina Marbry. Then if Coach Sides would only get off her butt and play Celeste instead of Wheeler of the bench all the time we might have a more defensive team that has a chance at both high volume shooting and defense but she is too stuck on this line up.
Good analysis - thank you!
How about at a bare minimum, they defend her against the other teams player that are inappropriate putting her in danger
I have prime video and did not watch sky/ mystic's game. I will not watch any Chicago Sky game as long as Reese and her Dawg are on the team.
