- Following the Fever's 88-82 win over the Phoenix Mercury in front of a sellout (17,071) crowd, future Hall of Famer Diana Taurasi spoke about the impact and influence Caitlin Clark has had in just a few months in the WNBA.
Then, Natasha Cloud says "this is the most evenly matched that the league has been. In my first few years, you used to be able to walk into certain games and be like, 'we literally just have to lace up and we're gonna be good.' That's not the case anymore. That's the growth of the our game."

![22 MINUTES of Caitlin Clark's FUNNIEST rookie quotes [PART TWO]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/XDFv6MEM6aM/mqdefault.jpg)
See this is what makes people like people! Being a respectful competitor!
wow. Grownups showed up today. Happy to see it.
did you watch the game, plenty of childishness
Yep
Angel wasn’t there.
@@Ndfourlife Angel living rent free in your head! Story wasn’t about her, she wasn’t even mentioned but you gotta try and be negative. How many consecutive double-doubles does she have now?
Respect. This was nice.
now this is sportsmanship!
JESUS FLIPPIN' CHRIST, YOU PEOPLE ARE SO GULLIBLE! SHE HAD NO CHOICE, CLOWN!
After saying trash
I have to feel some respect for Diana for speaking nice about Caitlin. Diana has certainly earned her position of respect and it was in my heart that Diana would finish well.
Kind of rare isn't it, but she doesn't have a black-white axe to grind.
Michael Jordan earned his respect too. He never told any new rookie to beware of the veterans when you come to the NBA?
It is about time.
What was she gonna do after she talked rude about her😂😂
So ur respect is only based on what she said about CC and not the amazing career she has had. Pathetic
Proud of DTs positive and complementary comments about Caitlin. Also nice to see Natasha Cloud nodding her head in agreement!!
BECAUSE SHE LOST CLOWN!
DT has been complimentary of CC for years, the press and new WNBA fans have created drama where there is none. Women supporting women, people can’t handle it.
@@chhansen9813 FFS, say it again because we didn't get it the first ten times, clown.
Natasha sounds like Bob Griner…they both sound like men 😂
@@chhansen9813she did lose but it’s respectful
So now everyone can stop hating Turasi who is equally remarkable to be lebrons age and basically doing the wnba version of output at that age.
The stupid comments r coming from weak, bitter men.
I will give her a lot more respect now. It's good to hear someone in the WNBA give CC her props. Her rookie season is pretty good, but still rookie. She's shown a lot of talent, she has a lot to improve on.
now maybe the players will stop treating CC with hostility. This was the first game an opponent joked with the girl. That was my big takeaway. On the court DT is the first player to not face her with hate.
Had she spoke like this in the beginning people would not have had any ill feelings towards her…
Ok D T. I think the media blew it out of proportion what you said about playing with older women you just said what everybody was thinking. And then you take your hat off to her your classy gal. I have nothing but respect for you.
I was wrong about DT. Great job take the L with some class. There will be another day.
It took a loss to shut her up
You both are idiots. She never dissed her. You took a sound bite and decided to demonize another human being.
I don't think you were wrong.
SHE A TRUE PLAYER 🫡
SHE HAS NO CHOICE YOU GULLIBLE GUPPIES! IF SHE WOULDVE WON SHE WOULDVE BEEN TALKING HELL A TRASH!
A Tip of the Cap 🧢 DT and the Phoenix Mercury… 🫡Respect goes both ways…
DT has gained my respect for being gracious toward CC after their loss. Class move.
She's said more negative things than positive. She's only saying nice things now because CC beat her.
@@RobVole1 Also pretty sure she contributed in keeping CC out of the Olympic team.
Shes jealous
Shout-out to DT for embracing CC, the young'n probably needed a veteran of Diana's status to hug her up before game!! ❤
Easy to see why CC stated DT was one of her idols growing up... Fantastic ball player and very classy woman!
nothing classy about supporting trans kids, so pathetic
Thanks D, you said everything right! the game was awesome to watch you guys play together! love WNBA! LETS BALL 🏀
This was nice, hreat rivary. Loved the hugs and chats they exchanged during the game ❤, ofcourse media wont show that
Awesome sportsmanship. This was first time I seen her and Bob play in WNBA. She’s good to be 42. Wow. Hopefully this her calling the dogs off
SHE LOOKED UP TO YOU DIANA...YOU WERE HER ROLE MODEL
She’s not her role model, it’s Maya Moore!!!!!
Maya Moore, but D.T. is seen with great respect by CC.
Still is her role model !
@@YbabHicksCaitlin said she was one of the ladies she idolized when she was young.
Maya Moore was/is her role model
This was a great game to watch, very exciting. I loved seeing CC and DT briefly interacting throughout the game. As Caitlin said, DT was one of her idols through the years and she was so happy to be able to face her on the hardwood. These ladies were very classy and professional in this interview and I have nothing but respect for this team. Great game today. 🏀
Thank you Diana for your wonderful comments about Caitlin. Not only does she look up to you as a seasoned elite athlete but your words right here will make others also appreciate you more when you become a Hall of Fame inductee. Far more than playing the game is character with humble words like you were able to show for someone else on an opposing team. May your legacy be that you not only made basketball a greater, more exciting game, but we’re able to leave your footprints with kind words that forever remain etched on someone else’s heart. May you continue to inspire others with kindness😀🏀🏀🎖️
I respect this. You gotta give DT credit. She always shows up to play, and today was no different. She showed everyone, even in a loss today, why she is still one of the best players to ever play in the WNBA, and it was nice to hear her give CC some respect. Until next time...
NO I DONT! IF SHE WOULDVE WON SHE WOULD BE TALKING SHIT!
You people are so predictably gullible!
CC changed the game !
Not only for her own team.
Stadiums are getting full from now on. Good luck CC
@@MarcoV-q9n😂😂😂😂
@@chhansen9813💯 agree
You guys are great to watch. Thank you for showing good sportsmanship even with the loss. In the end you’re all winners!
Class act!!!
SHE HAD NO CHOICE, CLOWN! LMMFAO!
Diana is refreshing. She doesn't have that arrogant, angry edge to her when she talks about Caitlin.
Not anymore. Diana was a tenacious competitor often on the edge . Her maturity is what is extremely evident. She’s definitely still a ferocious competitor. As the saying goes, with age comes wisdom!
Not this time anyway.
Just saw a video, that during practice, DT and BG gave Caitlin a hug and a hello. I think that is a great human thing to do. Media left that out. I'm not hating on either of them.
DT describing CC as a craque in Spanish is nothing short of a freaking amazing compliment. To me it's conceding a passing of the torch. What an honor.
Now maybe everybody can calm down. The last comment was gold...they are all bad ass and this is a great moment in time for the league and womens sports overall.
So you support assaulting and taunting and really bad sportsmanship? Figures! It’s the hateful world now huh?
I love seeing DT speaking both Spanish and English. What a great role model for young athletes.
Great role model because she’s bilingual??
She has a parent from Argentina.
You mean butchering Spanish.
@@juliosantana1646 No, because she used both languages. As an educator I always tried to let students know how good it was that they could speak more than one language. Many need to hear that because it can be a good asset in their future careers. Seeing someone like DT that they already look up to as athletes is just one more positive message in that regard.
What a respectful and professional interview by both players!
Love it. Keep the good vibes coming.
Thank you Diana for your beautiful comments. Nail Biting game! Thank You!
That girl from the Chicago Sky could learn a lot from Diana Taurisi. Diana Taurisi shows the same amount of class whether she wins or loses the game., which is a testament to her personal character. Yes, that girl could learn a lot from Diana Taurisi.
It was commendable that Diana T gave such accolades to CC,,,,,I am thinking maybe she is looking back and seeing herself when she started.....anyway, it made me have a good feel about Diana when she spoke like she did......
Finally the tone of a stateswoman. Reality is important but tone matters. Way more respect for what is not easy for a current competitor to do and that’s show humility.
Well said DT🙏🏾🙏🏾
DT one of the best. Respect girl!!! Caitlin Will remember the time she shared with you on the court forever. ❤
What she said in Spanish would silence CC's haters.
She gave her mad props that doesn't translate well into English.
THE ONLY REASON SHES DOING THIS IS BECAUSE SHE FLIPPIN' LOST YOU CLOWN!
Oh really? Good to know. Maybe I can use AI to translate.
@@ScottAgness Let me try...
"The truth is, she's a phenomena. She's a crack [maybe as in crack shot?], since she was a child, what she's done at college, the truth is, incredible. And in her first year, to be playing at such an elite level and what she's doing for the sport of basketball is incredible and looking at what she's going to do in the future, the fact is, it fills me with great anticipation."
It doesn't translate easily into English because there are words that we use that don't exist in English and that can cover several meanings and/or that express far more intent in the word than in English.
Either way, it was of the highest praise for sure.
I don't think there are any real "CC" haters more than there are "CC fans" haters.
@@YankeeWoodcraft I appreciate that.
This is how you grow a sport. Diana gets it now. Kudos.
Very classy comments from Diana Taurasi! That was a great game!
I love that Dianna said those supportive things about Caitlin...It would be amazing now if she would take Caitlin under her wing and be her mentor. Show her the way. ❤
That would be AWESOME!
Clark doesn’t need anyone to show her anything! She is already great on her own take talent! Stop it! 🤦♀️
@@Juke582 In an interview Caitlin stated that she would like someone to show her things. Not sure which interview that was in but maybe you'll see it
If only she would have talked like this preseason we could have avoided a lot of drama. But good for her for changing course and being positive.
100 percent.
DT was telling the truth, respect is earned not given and CC earned that
That Spanish comes in handy in Phoenix ... I know it did during my 10 years there over 15 years ago : )
I knew DT was this. She back on my list.
Mine too, oops! I never had a list, just here for CC. But if I start a list, and this is how respectful she is, she would be at the top of my list. CC is never on my list, she is the best to me, unique. But have no list now.
You CC fanboys don't love the game. You all are classless...😂😂😂
@@jameswilson8103 black fragility
deeper voice then ja rule or rocky
The macho man ooooh yeeeeah
Yea DT showed some class and why she is a legend you can go at Caitlin in game all day as you should but the pre game love from her and BG made me respect them bc we have yet to see that from the vets
Mad respect!!!! Well spoken. Like 😊a true vet and WNBA All Star !
Taurasi just gained my respect these women love the game and love to compete. I cant get enough of the WNBA lately there's some amazing talent throughout the league and they're all fun to watch
It's the WOWEST day in the W.
Tairasi and Griner both took time to say good words, on the court to Caitlin, just before tip-off, starting the game.
Wow! -What that must have meant to Caitlin.
Griner really took her time to say a lot, to Caitlin, before the game started.
Just my guess, of course, Keep up the good work.. When you and everyone on the team works, you'll see how it pays off, later in the season. Just keep working at it.
And, during the game, Taurasi and Caitlin had good words, again. With smiles from Caitlin.
That must have made her first year feel great. And valued by the vets.
I think it will be really difficult for other teams to beat our Olympic team. Aja, being on a roll and scoring. Taurasi, Griner, et cetera.
-Mike
Now this is sportsmanship not bigheadedness and thuggery. This represents women on both sides who love the game and want to see it excel. Respect to you ladies!!
Grammy Taurasi still can't admit what Clark has done for the league. She just says what she's done for the Fever. Lmao
DT not slick.
Truth!
Yea, that was a side step. Women have a hard time complementing other women. Sad. Then has to say she was on the cover of espn magazine. You had 20 years to get the fans and views she gets now….don’t hate her for it.
I only watch Fever games. To be honest no one is in any large numbers are watching any of these other teams play, unless they are playing the Fever. It will take a couple more years of the next few rookie classes to come into the WNBA and actually make the other teams watchable and fun to watch. But for all the other WNBA teams they don't get the crowds that the Fever get. they wlll just have to stay positive and keep on trucking. In IMHO Dianna is just stating facts as they are for now.
The league exe's can still blow this opportunity to turn the WNBA into something not worth watching, even with Clark in the league. Only time will tell if this is a flash in the pan or a real WNBA glory days around the corner.
Clark is upping attendance wherever she plays, stop hating the woman, she is going to get everyone PAID,put your egos and petty bullshit aside and just compete and play clean and hard
I’m proud of you T
Great job Diana. Much respect
Respect Diana for her change in attitude and recognition. All about improving WNBA!
I'm not sure it was a change in attitude. I had no problem with what she said before the season. That Caitlin would be in for a reality check -- and she has been. Physicality, better players + teams, and hard play. That's all been true.
ITS BECAUSE SHE LOST, GOOF!
@@ScottAgness That's fair.
@@ScottAgness Exactly! They made a big deal out of nothing. These women are competitors.
@@chhansen9813 Maybe- haha
DT, OUTRAGEOUS athlete! And even GREATER person and leader. RESPECT!
Angel Reese should pay attention to DT. Both excellent players. Angel needs to mature into an admirable respectful competitor like DT. It's people like DT, Cloud n Clarke that make the WNBA an outstanding league.
Angel take note. May you mature into the model DT personifies.
Wow. Bravo DT. Mad respect now. Thanks for the positive postgame.
Diana the GOAT!!! I love love love her. She’s so wise too. And I love listening to her speaking Spanish 🥹❤️
Thank you Diana...you are one of the best and thank you for acknowledging CC so respectfully...! Great game today!
Thank you Diana Taurasi for your awesome support and sportsman - You're definitely a class act.
Good job, Diana. Nice to hear you showing respect for the new Rookie. Maybe if you stop the smack talk, others will too!
Smack talk is a part of any game. Why are y’all so soft?
Is Natasha Cloud on the Britney Griner cocktail? WTH
Whos the dude
Respect DT!
You don’t have to hate one and love the other… I have so much respect for the both of them! CC and DT are BOTH amazing athletes!
Respect to DT to props to CC, even more so on a loss at home. I truly believe it’s these types of truths, positivity to each other from these vets/ coaches and fans to give this dream in the WNBA to become reality. It subconsciously gives everyone in the league and fans watching to do better to be better in giving respect to those that have been here through so tough times, showing grace and respect to each other does nothing but allow us to realize the could be for the WNBA. This is the first day as a new fan I’m pleased in what I see as a whole, and those involved out there on the court deserve to play in this type of atmosphere.
That’s cool. I also always enjoyed how Kobe Bryant could speak Italian and Spanish fluently as well.
Gotdamn that chick got a deep voice. That’s some serious testo
I was waiting for someone to say it.
Yeah not human! It’s crazy taking testosterone! It doesn’t help her bullying one bit! Clark owned her dumb butt fouling so much tonight!
Most women do not have high pitched voices. Genetics, g. Nothing to do with having increased testosterone at all. Go back and study biology, or don't and keep making ignorant comments .
There is a lot of deep voices on the Mercury I'm just saying
Wow. Diana said something nice about Caitlin. I'm shocked and happy. This was the way it should have happened. I was a huge Diana Tuarasi Fan before all of this stuff. Good to see her having fun and speaking well of Caitlin Clark. I can get back behind Diana again, now if she would let Caitlin take her spot on Team USA. Caitlin Clark is the best point guard in the WNBA.. Period Point Blank.
@maxxgold1 😮😮😅😅😅😅😅😅 CC is not the best zpG in the league. Hopefully she earns a spot on the next Olympics.
CC is not the best point guard in this league. She’s not even in the top 5. Not yet. She will make the next Olympic team.
Now finally people get to see what a good person DT is. I’m sure this meant a lot to Caitlin. Definitely to her fans!❤
Thanks DT for your support for the rookie & future 🐐 Respect ❤
DT A LEGEND SALUTE TO HER MY FAVORITE WNBA PLAYER
Ok. I did not know she was or spoke Spanish. That was really nice of her to say. I AM NOW A TAUROSI FAN.
Argentinian
Now this is how the league will grow players playing basketball hard and showing respect to one another and acknowledging new talent coming in and cements their legacy being honored by keeping the wnba relevant going forward was refreshing to see.
What she said at the end was awesome.
OK she's less snarky. Cool. I can now get passed the cockiness and appreciate her talent. Take note all vets.
DT is the all time leading scorer of all time in this league. She’s won 3 championships in this league. She’s won 5 gold medals for the US. She won 3 chips in college and was POY x3. She’s earned the right to be cocky. She couldn’t even tell the truth about the pros being more difficult than college w/o you delusional, casual band wagon ass ppl whining and crying your eyes out. You want respect from the vets? Earn it by winning.
Finally, someone talking good sense. We don't wanna see players all praising Caitlin but the non-sense thrown at her are just a turnoff for me. If WNBA and their players put more respect to her game than the "other stuffs" they spew, this league becomes more interesting to watch. We want basketball, not the other stuffs.
damn never heard such a deep voice on a female
Griner
I'm real proud of Diana for taking the high road with Caitlin. Caitlin looked up to her as an idol when she was a little girl and imagine to find out your idol hates you? Many thanks to Diana!!
Given their greeting before the game, I have a feeling they communicated before. BG gave her a special greeting too.
I saw DT play in the Final Four in 2003 @ Atlanta. Conn. took it.
Now i can support wnba as a whole no drama all love between women athletes
4/6/24:
“Reality is coming,” Taurasi said. You look superhuman playing against some 18-year-olds, but you’re going to come play with some grown women who have been playing professional basketball for a long time.”
6/30/24:
Fever 88, Mercury 82. CC: 15 pts, 9 reb, 12 asst. Taurasi: 19-3-3.
Now do the stats from Indiana’s NY Liberty game. Or the Connecticut Sun game. Or the LV Aces game. The Seattle game. Reality has already come and CC’s “fans” have whined and moaned and had the state rep pen a letter to the league. Not to mention that when it’s clutch time and time to get a stop to win the game, the coach is still having to sit the rookie down because she’s a defensive liability.
You “fans” are DELULU. CC will be great but DT told no lies.
Excellent comment love how she respects CC thank you turasi 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This feud between CC and DT ( if there was one ) is over to me. DT seems like a remarkable person as she is a player.
Would she have said this if Caitlin would've had a bad game?. This folks is called getting humbled, Clark out played her n she has no choice to but me accept it n move on.
Do y'all realize that CC shot less than 29% from the field and only 20% from the 3 pt line??? I hate when fans post crap, but they can't back it up!!
She did have a bad game
@@dwayneyambra1865well she does gets blitzed more than twice any Team in the league, yes team not player, not to mention she usually is guarded full court, one of the only players that this happens most of the time in any game. If they guarded her like they guard all the other players she would get her % up. If you watch the games like you said you prob know that 🤔
I do, yet she still in this game out plays DT n it wasn't even close. Never said Clark was great but in this game she clearly was greater then DT, now go eat your toast in your dark room watching your only fans model
Of course now she has to change her attitude and comments because she got to see the impact CC has and how she pushes her team. At least now DT is giving credit....
She’s been winning in this league for 20 years. She doesn’t have to change her tune. She didn’t lie about the fact that the W is tougher than college. Reality has come this season in the form of the Connecticut Sun, the LV Aces, the NY Liberty, and the Seattle Storm.
Some of my respect for DT has been restored! It was so good to see her and BF greet her before the game-the rest of the bitter, jealous players missed their opportunity to do the right thing, the gracious thing when facing CC and the Fever.
These young, lovely ladies are going to experience a beautiful kind of crying today - joy, pain, anger and then love again, love for this sport, Basketball. Props to all the ladies in the WNBA.
very exciting times for WNBA. the best ROOKIE class...
Nice comments. Respect.
That’s a deep voice
I'm a 5"5' women and I have a deeper voice like her. Some men have higher pitched voices. Who cares
Okay Jabba
That's all the male hormones she's taking along with that penis envy.
Its a dude. Also Griner is a dude, and i bet there are many more dudes playing in WNBA.
@@Lusitano1 cloud is not a dude. Her shoulders are so narrow
Respect for these top athletes is deserving.
No disrespect to Diana, but this game was my first time ever seeing her play... because of Caitlin Clark.
This is how you earn respect. On the court.
She has no choice, all her past derogatory and disrespectful comments hopefully have cone to an end now that she's been outplayed by the rookie.. she should lay off the steroids thou,
Much respect To Diana.
So she beat Taurasi and Griner? Didn’t they say that she wasn’t very good.
The media had a lot to do with that. They take a quote or clip here and there and slowly spin it further and further away from the truth. They love to be as divisive as possible because that’s what gets the views. Sports, politics, entertainment, it’s all the same.
So much for the media hype about the CC “hatred” - this t respect. Good for DT.
I’m new to the WNBA and today is the first time I’ve seen Diana play and speak, she seems like an awesome person, she’s definitely an excellent player!
That’s about as close to a retraction as Taurasi will ever come regarding Clark’s place. Especially after the comments to SVP on ESPN.
I love CC. I am not a sports person, I've always been the nerdy girl, hence the not liking sports, but I wish all this vitriol would stop. Diana never hated CC. Go watch the Bird Taurasi show when they were watching and commenting on Iowa vs SC. They both loved CC's game. She is their "love child born". When DT made the comments about "reality is coming", it was after Iowa beat UCONN in the final four. DT was upset, and yes, I do believe the comment that it would be harder for some more than others was directed at CC, but like I said, I believe the comments were made after the FF game and DT is an ex UCONN player. Being from TN and a HUGE Pat Summit fan, I can't stand UNCONN. So, I can understand her comments. But we fans have got to chill out. The facts are, there are people who like CC because she is white. And there are POC's that don't like CC because she is white. And yes, there are players that come after CC because they are pissed she gets all they attention, so they go after her. And there are those that go after her because they want their 15 minutes of fame. So how about we all just chill the fuck out and just enjoy watching the games. I will say this, I felt so sad for CC when she said that no vets were giving her in-game advise, and seeing how vets are being so kind to Reese must be upsetting for her. I'm glad DT and BG gave her the hugs before the game. I think the poor girl needed those hugs. I hope they give her advice and realize (if it is a problem for them) that it is not CC's faut that some people have lost their damn minds about all of this.
That was very well said, it's too bad that most cc fans won't hear it.
Do you guys really trust DT? I don't know about you. She's Hollywood.
Anyway, nice words to say, for a change.
#Humiliated
#RealityCheck
#WelcomeDTtoTheNewWNBA
Caitlin is showing us that she’s not the 1st or 2nd best player on here team
