They poled overseas to see how many sports fans there know of CC and Angle Reese and none outside of the Americans knew who the hell they were talking about.

The Olympics is about beating other countries and couldn’t give a damn about the WNBA. The Olympics isn’t a league, it’s a team that’s only important every 4 years. They don’t need me or you to watch because others around the world is still going to watch is see if their team can beat the USA or at least win a medal. They don’t have all this kind of noise over there.
Lexis’s justification is Angel and Caitlin will have future opportunities to play in the Olympics so don’t take away from the other older players 🤦🏼♀️ THIS is why the WNBA is a hot damn mess 🙄
@CORI4NDER you're just agreeing with the earlier comment, which isn't accurate.😂 Lexi even talked about it before, about how they just picked who made the team.
Forget rookie of the year theese young ladies are ballin. You want to bring eyes to the W put them on Olympic team and the W becomes worldwide. Good for business
Angel might be able to play, but Clark might have problems. If they're complaining about the physicality against Clark in the WNBA, the physicality is even worse in the Olympics. She can barely handle the WNBA physical play.
@user-mh8ph4zb1i Bro WNBA basketball has been more physical than men’s basketball this year. Those girls are throwing elbows and completely leaving their defensive positions to triple and quadruple team 2 people. They’re literally trying their harder to ensure Angel and Caitlin don’t shine to try and make an example, regular women’s basketball is not this intense nor is there usually all this upfront and obvious jealousy.
@@AlyJulmiste Clark already been playing USA basketball for awhile now, she's got a bunch of gold medals for the younger divisions. She knows what international ball is about.
Be Swoops is an 4 time WNBA Champion that’s already in the HOF, and she would’ve smoked CC. This is why everyone should about able to speak about sports. She wasn’t only a scorer, she was a lockdown defender. Where do y’all come from? Damn it makes no sense

Yes. Shes a HOF, which is something I'll personally never do, but that doesnt take away from blatantly biased takes. Just because an opinion is bias does t make it wrong, but it strips the validity away from your opinion. She doesnt like AR because of just basketball, she like her because shes black. The same criticisms that go for CC and you find in AR game applicably, just like all the good basketball thing you in AR game you can find applicably in CC game. If youre a pure fan and have a preference thats fine, but bashing one out of bias agenda is out of pocket. Im just looking for consistency, which Im personally always lioking for from us 🤦🏿♂️😒@@GOATCANDIDATES
She’s the defensive post players that we have at 6’8…WTH are you talking about. Obviously you know nothing about basketball or matchups. They have some big and tall women overseas that play very physical and she has went to war against them many times. I can see Angle have the mentality to at least try to match the physicality that they play with in the Olympics. But Clark is to light and they’ll knock her all the way back to 3rd grade 😂 They don’t call the little Tikki tack fouls that they call in the W. CC has won a few Medals but not against the big dogs.

"you can't take that away from Diana Taurasi. she deserves this." WHY? Suddenly Dinosaur Taurasi is bigger than the Olympic Team that they should bow down to her? GTFO.
Diana has helped them to win several gold medals. Now this will be her last chance to play and a chance to make history of winning the most gold medals. And you’re going to kick her to the curb? For someone who hasn’t played for the Olympics? Who didn’t attend any of the camps? That’s crazy!! Diana was helping to carry this league, when none of us were really watching. So she deserves her flowers and this opportunity. Caitlin and Angel will have their time.
DinoT is selfish plain and simple. Medal padding for imaginary GOAT status hawking. Caitlin Clark has superior stats this season. Jordan and company knew to make an impression on the Olympics then move on and let other players enjoy the experience.
@@davidweiss8710 Y’all sound stupid! A player who is still capable of helping win a medal, should step aside and let someone else have a turn? Caitlin is gone have to wait her turn!
For her leadership. Shes the floor general out there on the floor, the coach out there on the floor. Every team need the person at all times which is why you see some teams has better players and still loose, and it’s because they don’t have leadership to show them how to win. She 40 and still playing at a high level.
Lexie went from “CC doesn’t fit, team USA is stacked” to, “they should have taken AR and CC”. I guess she didn’t like the criticism she was getting for hating…
Please stop with the women on this podcast, I'm not watching another one with a woman hooper on it. The NBA blew up internationally after the 92 Dream Team, they were smart enough to put Magic/Bird (retired/injury) on the team even though they shouldn't have been. Women are their own worst enemy.
here are 10 points to ponder as to why Clark should be there, can you imagine Clark passing off her passes to the members of Team USA and what the result might be. Keep in mind that in just 22 games she has done this, throw in that she is still in her "transition" to the WNBA, 1) Currently, there are just four in its 28th season, Caitlin Clark makes WNBA history with the first-ever rookie triple-double 2) Clark became the fastest WNBA rookie to record 100 assists since Sue Bird in 2002. 3) Caitlin Clark is the fastest player in WNBA history to record 100 points and 50 assists 3)Catlin Clark became the fastest player in league history to reach 250 points and 100 assists. 3) Caitlin Clark became the fastest player in WNBA history to record 350 points and 150 assists 4) Caitlin Clark leads the League with total pts scored by the player and from their assists Joni, that Stat is a combined points with points from assists 5) Caitlin Clark now leads the WNBA in three-pointers made, posting 54 threes on the season, 6) Clark leads all first-year players with an average of 16.3 points and 6.6 assists. 7) Clark is the only player in the rookie class to be in the Top 5 in major statistical categories, such as points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. 8) Clark has a #3 ranking in the ESPN WNBA Player Stats 2024 and Reese's ranking is down at #50 9) Clark is the only visiting player Rookie or otherwise to receive not one but two standing ovations from the home team crowd 10) Clark after just 22 games is already on the list for being one of the top 30 guards the all-time for double-doubles Guards tying Kelsey Plum with 5
The fact that they Cut Alijah Arenas is horrible. They then went on to blow everyone out. In 17u so why didn’t Kiyan and Alijah make it? It’s ridiculous
Aliyah didn’t make it because he is a shot chucker and the other people in his position are better than him and Alijah can make it next year and i’m not discrediting Kiyan cause he is tough but he doesn’t fit the team
Im glad we didnt get her. I think she wouldve threw our games because she turns the ball over wayyy too often and she just wants to chuck 10 3s up a game
The sad thing is, I'm not sure if it's racism, or that most women in the wnba are lesbian & hate that these girls not, yes, there is a big problem with gay women dominating a sports league, I believe there's no room for that in professional sports, just imagine if Michael Jordan was gay & marrying Scottie Pippin, or Magic marrying Worthy during their respective careers, it would've destroyed the NBA entirely, but here we are allowing women to do this in the wnba, this is why sponsors stood away from supporting the wnba so many yrs, someone explain to me how in the world can you sponsor a league like that without promoting lgbtq, its impossible, that's why Reese & Caitlin are the talk of the wnba, because they're not gay, they're straight, sponsors will support that all day! Nobody is talking about this because it's a touchy controversial topic, & if they do their careers are on the line!
Arenas exactly hit the point , 11 & 12 are essentially reserves and those two could soak up the experience and be the leaders. And you're supposed to manage the program in its entirety not a one time thing And yeah agree once list comes out , it's too late with exception of injury Short sighted USA basketball - Man an all star that might actually be competitive and worth watching
Let's be real. The WNBA is a business that has been failing ever since it's conception. It literally has not turned a profit ever in the 25+ year history. Right now, due to Clark, it FINALLY is catching eyes and actually selling out arenas... and women hate her instead of value her. Also, she has proven she is a top talent in the WW. She can 100% be on the team, and it is okay to hurt a couple peoples feelings that have been on the team and had the Olympic experience multiple times.
@@Bix-bi Angel has like 7 double double were she score 10 points 10 rebounds, she wasn’t even the highest scorer. Not even the 5th scorer of the game. Double double don’t mean crap when someone has a better game. A triple double is worth 100 double doubles, AJA Wilson doesn’t have a triple double but she has 12 double double
The comment section seems like nothing but followers. Lexi is right! She’s not hating because she doesn’t agree. Tired of all these random fans thinking they know what’s best for the WNBA. The game is growing regardless of whether they’re on the Olympic team or not.
Really truthfully, most of the newer young ladies that were scrubbed from being on the recent Olympic teams, is going to be on this year's wnba Allstars team and they're set to face this year's Olympics team that wanted to be on a petty buddy- buddy system. Can't tell me those Allstars aint going to turn up on them.lol Gonna be must see TV!!
The funniest part was Lexi at the beginning saying the selection is weird, followed by saying “I’ve come to terms with I’m not gonna be on a USA team” as if she was ever on the list to be picked lmao
I have a solution❗️❗️❗️Extend the team Rosters to 15 players, Add 1 veteran and 2 College WNBA rookies Reese & Clark for emergency 🚨 in case of injuries… They come in and on blowout’s or injuries
Lexie Brown is wrong on this one. DT doesn’t need to be on the team since it’s her 6th Olympics and BG could be off the team, too. Exposure is a main goal for every Olympic team. And it’s baffling to expect the team to stay competitive if you’re not fielding and exposing younger players to learn. Caitlin and Reese both should be on the team.
I feel so silly now that I know the fix is in.....I almost started believing in the W because of Caitlin because I thought she would bring some sense to it...but naw, y'all silly

@@GymWorkoutsF1 NBA shouldn't have ridden LBJ so hard after '20 chip and promoted Ant, Chet, J Green, Barnes, Lamelo, Maxey, Hali, and scrutinize Zion and Ja more. Adam Silver fumbled Stern's bag.
Great comment until your Jordan comment. The league is in a much better place now than then. The league doesn't want to make any wild rich kid the face of a multi billion dollar industry. Most players they get behind are married and not out clowning. They've done a horrible job marketing the great young international talent in the league. We've seen this before. Tiger and the PGA. The WNBA should be poster children for the mental illness pandemic in the country. The youngsters get their parents to buy the shoes and the youngsters always drive the narrative. Old men stop watching and down the young generation and talk about how great theirs was.
@@williamgrierson4133 I agree with a lot of what you said, but the Jordan viewership numbers can't be denied. LeBron was the biggest star post-MJ, yet the '20 Finals averaged only 7.5M viewers, with millions locked down at home. Jordan's '98 Finals averaged 29M, with 2 billion less people on Earth, and far fewer TVs and no streaming options. This is a complex issue why NBA viewership has fallen off, but the attitude of players now that was allowed by Silver is a huge factor. The player empowerment movement saw stars jump team to team in their primes, and sit out games just to rest, two uncommon occurrences for previous eras that were paid far less. Maybe simply promoting the current and rising superstars, international or US, would have averted this all. The Last Dance had viewership close to the '24 Finals. I think your view on who should be promoted is almost too focused grouped - the 65 game All-NBA rule is a step in the right direction. Perhaps giving larger max salaries to guys on their original teams would help too, promoting loyalty. Just ideas, I'm Lebron's age but feel like a lot of his career post-Decision shaped the league into what it is now, and that's a worse product to watch than Kobe and Jordan's eras I saw.
Please Lexie lol… it would have amazing if Clark and Reese made the team this time around.. but whatever that’s they league so let them run it how they want 🤷🏾♂️
Team USA should not have picked injured Chelsea Gray, as there was no evidence that she would perform post-injury at the similar level pre-injury. Her latest stats show Chelsea does not belong at all at the Olympics.
Then they'll cry and say they don't get paid but the biggest marketing opportunity in WNBA history to have Angel and CC play together, they decided to hate because the spotlight is on them. I guarantee you it was the hating old heads. Idc ALL of these WNBA players are bitter as hell including this one. I said it last time, the fake words don't match what their faces are saying. Hella envy
6:41 neither of them feel snubbed so I don’t see either of them turning it down in 4 years…Reese speaks out about being generally mistreated…especially when there’s a cultural aspect…she’s extremely passionate about the league…she’s gonna do everything in her power to enhance it…she’s on celebs heels about going to games for that very reason.
I have mixed feelings about this. I strongly feel that we should be sending the best players/team possible to compete internationally. In men’s or women’s. Anything. But I do think it would have been massive though to have these two, especially, coming together to win gold for our country.
Clark n Reese is so magic and bird, the nba is such a cinematic universe. Clark went from Iowa to Indiana, bird went from Indiana to Boston. Reese went from lsu to Chicago , magic went from Michigan to La. We are such sheep to fall for a race debate in this arena.
2:54 “necessary” Maybe not strictly “necessary”, the games will go on. But needed to elevate the sport to the next level. Next level being a profitable, growing sport.
(2:47) As of 7-8-2024 Clark is the best point guard the WNBA has, if Clark continues to perform at this level, delivering up a few more Triple Doubles by the time of the All Star Game it could become painfully obvious that Team U.S.A. doesn't have the best players on the team. If Clark's long range shots start dropping she could hand up a 20+ point Triple Double against Team U.S.A. and then what would the critics say about her?
It’s crazy because before CC and AR all the WNBA players were talking about was growth and more recognition. Once CC and AR got more recognition to the WNBA now it’s not about the growth and recognition anymore
The frustrating thing is Taurasi brags about how great he first Olympic experience was with players taking her under their wing, but she won't step aside to give Caitlin and/or Angel that chance. She wants personal glory over growing the game, something she supposedly champions? She claims she deserved it because she won in college, as if UConn didn't have way better teams and Iowa.
Reese and Clark should both be on that team. There are multiple women currently on the team that will not be in 4 years because of age. Replace them now and get the young players some experience. Not to mention that would put 100 times more eyes on those games and make every player on that team rich with endorsements.
Hate on the WNBA all you want for this but the fact this storyline is being discussed while we got a WNBA vs. USA game about to come makes it 10x more fun to watch. Arike, Angel, Clark, and the Sun girls are about to go insane on those Olympians.
I been thought Caitlin Clark should have been on Team USA but now with how her and Angel is playing along with their popularity I think they missed a golden opportunity to have both on and really get their league out there idc if There’s better players it’s about business & they still would win when Clark & Angel
No shade on Reese game, she’s good. But CC is the reason for the explosion. When professionally analyzed, any other good metric not directly related to CC, can be traced to secondary “wake” effects. If CC didn’t exist, Reese would be just another great basketball player coming out of college into a struggling league. (I wish it weren’t so)
Seems like the select committee kinda know what they're doing. They're going on their 8th straight gold medal. And tell me the last time the women's basketball team was put on primetime TV??? Swimming, gymnastics, track & field will always take precedence when it comes to primetime viewership
It’s crazy to hear these same women that been moaning and groaning about getting paid more for the last couple years to turn around and say getting more exposure for the wnba isn’t the main priority.
Team USA can fix this whole debacle by having the W send all the rookies to the Olympics as ambassadors. Just have them in the stands rooting on their peers on the floor, do a little piece on them about being the future of the W...win/win for everyone
She says they shouldn’t be on the team this year. Another year the WNBA is losing money $50 million and lost money every year since they started So the exposure for the young girls at the Olympics helps the WNBA get fans around the world So Taurasi should make it cause she’s setting a record for gold medals
WNBA is ridiculous. They have a Larry Bird/Magic Johnson situation with Clark and Reese, who have the skills to back it up and are the literal two faces of the league and they fumbled it.

Team USA fucked up. Women’s basketball is at its peak right now. This could’ve potentially had the global impact like the 92’ Dream Team did. You hear Gasol saying how the Dream team had a huge impact on him and how transcendent it was. Imagine them girls overseas watching Caitlin hitting logo 3s or Angel Reese.

@@somowaomusic4098 Why?
Lexie part of the wave that doesn’t want to be part of the sacrifice for the game to grow, the WNBA could have taken massive leaps with Clark and Reese on the Olympic roster
The Olympics is about beating other countries and couldn’t give a damn about the WNBA. The Olympics isn’t a league, it’s a team that’s only important every 4 years. They don’t need me or you to watch because others around the world is still going to watch is see if their team can beat the USA or at least win a medal. They don’t have all this kind of noise over there.
Lexis’s justification is Angel and Caitlin will have future opportunities to play in the Olympics so don’t take away from the other older players 🤦🏼♀️ THIS is why the WNBA is a hot damn mess 🙄
They should have held tryouts. That's how you find out who gets taken off.
They have try outs!! They hold several camps. And they choose from those camps…. Caitlin was invited to the camps. But she was playing in the NCAA.
@CORI4NDER you're just agreeing with the earlier comment, which isn't accurate.😂 Lexi even talked about it before, about how they just picked who made the team.
6:02 Rashad is a madman! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Take his internet privilege away
Boy cold
Shad is telling the truth, it’s black ppl only voting angel because she’s black

This is a prime example of men think rationally vs women think emotionally.
Forget rookie of the year theese young ladies are ballin. You want to bring eyes to the W put them on Olympic team and the W becomes worldwide. Good for business
What I dont understand is that these mofos act like Clark or Reese cant play in international stage. 😅😅😅
Angel might be able to play, but Clark might have problems. If they're complaining about the physicality against Clark in the WNBA, the physicality is even worse in the Olympics. She can barely handle the WNBA physical play.
@user-mh8ph4zb1i
Bro WNBA basketball has been more physical than men’s basketball this year. Those girls are throwing elbows and completely leaving their defensive positions to triple and quadruple team 2 people. They’re literally trying their harder to ensure Angel and Caitlin don’t shine to try and make an example, regular women’s basketball is not this intense nor is there usually all this upfront and obvious jealousy.
@@AlyJulmiste Clark already been playing USA basketball for awhile now, she's got a bunch of gold medals for the younger divisions. She knows what international ball is about.

Yes. Shes a HOF, which is something I'll personally never do, but that doesnt take away from blatantly biased takes. Just because an opinion is bias does t make it wrong, but it strips the validity away from your opinion. She doesnt like AR because of just basketball, she like her because shes black. The same criticisms that go for CC and you find in AR game applicably, just like all the good basketball thing you in AR game you can find applicably in CC game.

Talking out your ass
She’s the defensive post players that we have at 6’8…WTH are you talking about. Obviously you know nothing about basketball or matchups. They have some big and tall women overseas that play very physical and she has went to war against them many times. I can see Angle have the mentality to at least try to match the physicality that they play with in the Olympics. But Clark is to light and they’ll knock her all the way back to 3rd grade 😂 They don’t call the little Tikki tack fouls that they call in the W. CC has won a few Medals but not against the big dogs.
You obviously are not a ball watcher. Brittany Griner is one of the best players in the whole WNBA
@@KlvnDxxminique but she also committed a crime across seas and we had to give back one of the most deadly men in the world for her. She needs to stay in America cause if she gets locked up again they need to leave her
"you can't take that away from Diana Taurasi. she deserves this." WHY? Suddenly Dinosaur Taurasi is bigger than the Olympic Team that they should bow down to her? GTFO.
Diana has helped them to win several gold medals. Now this will be her last chance to play and a chance to make history of winning the most gold medals. And you’re going to kick her to the curb? For someone who hasn’t played for the Olympics? Who didn’t attend any of the camps? That’s crazy!! Diana was helping to carry this league, when none of us were really watching. So she deserves her flowers and this opportunity. Caitlin and Angel will have their time.
DinoT is selfish plain and simple. Medal padding for imaginary GOAT status hawking. Caitlin Clark has superior stats this season. Jordan and company knew to make an impression on the Olympics then move on and let other players enjoy the experience.
@@davidweiss8710 Y’all sound stupid! A player who is still capable of helping win a medal, should step aside and let someone else have a turn? Caitlin is gone have to wait her turn!
Is having a record for the most Olympic teams or watever going to grow the league? I doubt it
For her leadership. Shes the floor general out there on the floor, the coach out there on the floor. Every team need the person at all times which is why you see some teams has better players and still loose, and it’s because they don’t have leadership to show them how to win. She 40 and still playing at a high level.
Lexie went from “CC doesn’t fit, team USA is stacked” to, “they should have taken AR and CC”. I guess she didn’t like the criticism she was getting for hating…

Please stop with the women on this podcast, I'm not watching another one with a woman hooper on it. The NBA blew up internationally after the 92 Dream Team, they were smart enough to put Magic/Bird (retired/injury) on the team even though they shouldn't have been. Women are their own worst enemy.

This shit painful to watch
Watch them as women playing, I had to come to grips, and if Angel and Caitlin wasn’t playing, I don't think I would watch the little that I do!😂
Facts. My pockets hurt just watching this. 😂😢😅
here are 10 points to ponder as to why Clark should be there, can you imagine Clark passing off her passes to the members of Team USA and what the result might be.
Keep in mind that in just 22 games she has done this, throw in that she is still in her "transition" to the WNBA,
1) Currently, there are just four in its 28th season, Caitlin Clark makes WNBA history with the first-ever rookie triple-double
2) Clark became the fastest WNBA rookie to record 100 assists since Sue Bird in 2002.
3) Caitlin Clark is the fastest player in WNBA history to record 100 points and 50 assists
3)Catlin Clark became the fastest player in league history to reach 250 points and 100 assists.
3) Caitlin Clark became the fastest player in WNBA history to record 350 points and 150 assists
4) Caitlin Clark leads the League with total pts scored by the player and from their assists Joni, that Stat is a combined points with points from assists
5) Caitlin Clark now leads the WNBA in three-pointers made, posting 54 threes on the season,
6) Clark leads all first-year players with an average of 16.3 points and 6.6 assists.
7) Clark is the only player in the rookie class to be in the Top 5 in major statistical categories, such as points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks.
8) Clark has a #3 ranking in the ESPN WNBA Player Stats 2024 and Reese's ranking is down at #50
9) Clark is the only visiting player Rookie or otherwise to receive not one but two standing ovations from the home team crowd
10) Clark after just 22 games is already on the list for being one of the top 30 guards the all-time for double-doubles Guards tying Kelsey Plum with 5
Both CC and AR should be on the USA team
Gil I love yalls show , thanks a bunch.
Neither Taurasi or Big Bird should be on the team.
Bird is not. Dianna shouldn't though.
@@slymcfly123 Big Bird= Brittney Griner
The fact that they Cut Alijah Arenas is horrible. They then went on to blow everyone out. In 17u so why didn’t Kiyan and Alijah make it? It’s ridiculous
Aliyah didn’t make it because he is a shot chucker and the other people in his position are better than him and Alijah can make it next year and i’m not discrediting Kiyan cause he is tough but he doesn’t fit the team
CC is definitely on par with the guards on this roster. Imagine if you surround her with teammates who can actually finish consistently
@johnle1535 exactly

@@hasanjonz you haven’t been paying attention. CC been balling.
She’s not.😂😂😂
Im glad we didnt get her. I think she wouldve threw our games because she turns the ball over wayyy too often and she just wants to chuck 10 3s up a game
The sad thing is, I'm not sure if it's racism, or that most women in the wnba are lesbian & hate that these girls not, yes, there is a big problem with gay women dominating a sports league, I believe there's no room for that in professional sports, just imagine if Michael Jordan was gay & marrying Scottie Pippin, or Magic marrying Worthy during their respective careers, it would've destroyed the NBA entirely, but here we are allowing women to do this in the wnba, this is why sponsors stood away from supporting the wnba so many yrs, someone explain to me how in the world can you sponsor a league like that without promoting lgbtq, its impossible, that's why Reese & Caitlin are the talk of the wnba, because they're not gay, they're straight, sponsors will support that all day!
Nobody is talking about this because it's a touchy controversial topic, & if they do their careers are on the line!
Arenas exactly hit the point , 11 & 12 are essentially reserves and those two could soak up the experience and be the leaders.
And you're supposed to manage the program in its entirety not a one time thing
And yeah agree once list comes out , it's too late with exception of injury
Short sighted USA basketball -
Man an all star that might actually be competitive and worth watching
Let's be real. The WNBA is a business that has been failing ever since it's conception. It literally has not turned a profit ever in the 25+ year history.
Right now, due to Clark, it FINALLY is catching eyes and actually selling out arenas... and women hate her instead of value her. Also, she has proven she is a top talent in the WW. She can 100% be on the team, and it is okay to hurt a couple peoples feelings that have been on the team and had the Olympic experience multiple times.
this podcast has quickly turned into the Lakers and WNBA talk show. Its all they talk about!

@@marioslrznfirst rookie to do it is crazy! But the double double streak is also really impressive too!
@@marioslrzn The difference is CC is breaking rookie records and Angel Reese is breaking All-time records
@@Bix-bi Angel has like 7 double double were she score 10 points 10 rebounds, she wasn’t even the highest scorer. Not even the 5th scorer of the game. Double double don’t mean crap when someone has a better game. A triple double is worth 100 double doubles, AJA Wilson doesn’t have a triple double but she has 12 double double
The comment section seems like nothing but followers. Lexi is right! She’s not hating because she doesn’t agree. Tired of all these random fans thinking they know what’s best for the WNBA. The game is growing regardless of whether they’re on the Olympic team or not.
Really truthfully, most of the newer young ladies that were scrubbed from being on the recent Olympic teams, is going to be on this year's wnba Allstars team and they're set to face this year's Olympics team that wanted to be on a petty buddy- buddy system. Can't tell me those Allstars aint going to turn up on them.lol Gonna be must see TV!!
Once the list came out you take out Chelsea Gray. She hadn't played a lick and she still aint doing shit. 1 for 9 last game for 3 points. Crazy
The funniest part was Lexi at the beginning saying the selection is weird, followed by saying “I’ve come to terms with I’m not gonna be on a USA team” as if she was ever on the list to be picked lmao
She’s just a Kaitlyn Clark hater. It’s obvious. And probably for the same reason that others in the league hate her and we all know what that is!
🤡
Because of yal!
You: Bronny is taking another player’s chance😡
Also: Just give Caitlin Clark a spot!

Chase was not playing almost for a long time injured, if it’s merit what has she done this season?

@@_michaelfaith no
@@dusttakerthey most definitely are
You are forgetting the fact that those individuals played together for a long time. Plum is definitely better than one trick Caitlin

The fact that they chose 5 SG's and only 1 real PG for the team shows that they went out of their way NOT to bring CC.
I agree with Lexie. Angel and CC, will headline the olympics at home! Imagine that squad my goodness!
Yeah, who cares about the immediate impact they'd have today when you can put off that potential pay day for four more years....... Smh
No comma after CC.
Why can’t they do both
This could be their introduction and 2028 could be their coming out
Also what happens if one of them get hurt and can’t play in 2028
Lexie Brown is wrong on this one. DT doesn’t need to be on the team since it’s her 6th Olympics and BG could be off the team, too. Exposure is a main goal for every Olympic team. And it’s baffling to expect the team to stay competitive if you’re not fielding and exposing younger players to learn. Caitlin and Reese both should be on the team.
hey gilbert can you make a video on which is better being raw prospect or
being a nba ready now prospect
Depends on your team need.
Raw better, f the glove

@@GymWorkoutsF1 NBA shouldn't have ridden LBJ so hard after '20 chip and promoted Ant, Chet, J Green, Barnes, Lamelo, Maxey, Hali, and scrutinize Zion and Ja more. Adam Silver fumbled Stern's bag.
Great comment until your Jordan comment. The league is in a much better place now than then. The league doesn't want to make any wild rich kid the face of a multi billion dollar industry. Most players they get behind are married and not out clowning. They've done a horrible job marketing the great young international talent in the league. We've seen this before. Tiger and the PGA. The WNBA should be poster children for the mental illness pandemic in the country. The youngsters get their parents to buy the shoes and the youngsters always drive the narrative. Old men stop watching and down the young generation and talk about how great theirs was.
@@williamgrierson4133 I agree with a lot of what you said, but the Jordan viewership numbers can't be denied. LeBron was the biggest star post-MJ, yet the '20 Finals averaged only 7.5M viewers, with millions locked down at home. Jordan's '98 Finals averaged 29M, with 2 billion less people on Earth, and far fewer TVs and no streaming options.
This is a complex issue why NBA viewership has fallen off, but the attitude of players now that was allowed by Silver is a huge factor. The player empowerment movement saw stars jump team to team in their primes, and sit out games just to rest, two uncommon occurrences for previous eras that were paid far less.
Maybe simply promoting the current and rising superstars, international or US, would have averted this all. The Last Dance had viewership close to the '24 Finals. I think your view on who should be promoted is almost too focused grouped - the 65 game All-NBA rule is a step in the right direction. Perhaps giving larger max salaries to guys on their original teams would help too, promoting loyalty. Just ideas, I'm Lebron's age but feel like a lot of his career post-Decision shaped the league into what it is now, and that's a worse product to watch than Kobe and Jordan's eras I saw.
Those two 100% should’ve been on that team to play to help grow the game & to engage w/ the fans.
Please Lexie lol… it would have amazing if Clark and Reese made the team this time around.. but whatever that’s they league so let them run it how they want 🤷🏾♂️
Team USA should not have picked injured Chelsea Gray, as there was no evidence that she would perform post-injury at the similar level pre-injury. Her latest stats show Chelsea does not belong at all at the Olympics.
Then they'll cry and say they don't get paid but the biggest marketing opportunity in WNBA history to have Angel and CC play together, they decided to hate because the spotlight is on them. I guarantee you it was the hating old heads. Idc ALL of these WNBA players are bitter as hell including this one. I said it last time, the fake words don't match what their faces are saying. Hella envy
I sware Lexi is so damn fine
Why would she think she would be going ? 😅😂 why y’all let her lie on there 😂😂😂
6:41 neither of them feel snubbed so I don’t see either of them turning it down in 4 years…Reese speaks out about being generally mistreated…especially when there’s a cultural aspect…she’s extremely passionate about the league…she’s gonna do everything in her power to enhance it…she’s on celebs heels about going to games for that very reason.
I have mixed feelings about this. I strongly feel that we should be sending the best players/team possible to compete internationally. In men’s or women’s. Anything. But I do think it would have been massive though to have these two, especially, coming together to win gold for our country.
That sometimes you gotta pop out was so cringe 😂
Clark n Reese is so magic and bird, the nba is such a cinematic universe. Clark went from Iowa to Indiana, bird went from Indiana to Boston. Reese went from lsu to Chicago , magic went from Michigan to La. We are such sheep to fall for a race debate in this arena.
2:54 “necessary”
Maybe not strictly “necessary”, the games will go on. But needed to elevate the sport to the next level.
Next level being a profitable, growing sport.
CC is Larry Bird Curry Reese is Rodman
(2:47) As of 7-8-2024 Clark is the best point guard the WNBA has, if Clark continues to perform at this level, delivering up a few more Triple Doubles by the time of the All Star Game it could become painfully obvious that Team U.S.A. doesn't have the best players on the team. If Clark's long range shots start dropping she could hand up a 20+ point Triple Double against Team U.S.A. and then what would the critics say about her?
They should be promoting Caitlyn Clark in angel Reece more easily lol
It’s crazy because before CC and AR all the WNBA players were talking about was growth and more recognition. Once CC and AR got more recognition to the WNBA now it’s not about the growth and recognition anymore
The frustrating thing is Taurasi brags about how great he first Olympic experience was with players taking her under their wing, but she won't step aside to give Caitlin and/or Angel that chance. She wants personal glory over growing the game, something she supposedly champions? She claims she deserved it because she won in college, as if UConn didn't have way better teams and Iowa.
Reese and Clark should both be on that team. There are multiple women currently on the team that will not be in 4 years because of age. Replace them now and get the young players some experience. Not to mention that would put 100 times more eyes on those games and make every player on that team rich with endorsements.
Hate on the WNBA all you want for this but the fact this storyline is being discussed while we got a WNBA vs. USA game about to come makes it 10x more fun to watch. Arike, Angel, Clark, and the Sun girls are about to go insane on those Olympians.
I been thought Caitlin Clark should have been on Team USA but now with how her and Angel is playing along with their popularity I think they missed a golden opportunity to have both on and really get their league out there idc if There’s better players it’s about business
& they still would win when Clark & Angel
No shade on Reese game, she’s good.
But
CC is the reason for the explosion. When professionally analyzed, any other good metric not directly related to CC, can be traced to secondary “wake” effects.
If CC didn’t exist, Reese would be just another great basketball player coming out of college into a struggling league.
(I wish it weren’t so)
Seems like the select committee kinda know what they're doing. They're going on their 8th straight gold medal. And tell me the last time the women's basketball team was put on primetime TV??? Swimming, gymnastics, track & field will always take precedence when it comes to primetime viewership
6:03 this is EXACTLY what we need to see 🤣
It’s crazy to hear these same women that been moaning and groaning about getting paid more for the last couple years to turn around and say getting more exposure for the wnba isn’t the main priority.
“This is my, this is my” 😂😂
They still haven't said what the criteria was for the selection committee. Used to be they had tryouts.
Caitlin 70 foot ally oop to Angel in the 4th quarter would break the internet.
Team USA can fix this whole debacle by having the W send all the rookies to the Olympics as ambassadors. Just have them in the stands rooting on their peers on the floor, do a little piece on them about being the future of the W...win/win for everyone
She says they shouldn’t be on the team this year. Another year the WNBA is losing money $50 million and lost money every year since they started So the exposure for the young girls at the Olympics helps the WNBA get fans around the world So Taurasi should make it cause she’s setting a record for gold medals
With every single game Clark and Reese play, USA Basketball realizes they made an error and have screwed up.
At least one should be on that team.
Now the WNBA All-Star team smashed the Olympic team this decision just got made to look way worse.
