Aja Wilson should NOT be the MVP. We've been told by everyone that the Olympics chose "the best players in the world for Team USA." Aja Wilson is on a stacked team. The Aces have 4 Olympic gold medalists on the floor every game. You're not the MVP when your entire team is stacked with "the best players in the world." You're just another "best player." On the other hand, Caitlin Clark is on a team that hasn't had a winner record since Obama was in office. She took the worst team in the WNBA to the finals in her first year. Furthermore, under Caitlin Clark the Indiana Fever have more wins in 2024 than their past two years combined. Caitlin Clark also has as many Triple Doubles in her rookie year as Sheryl "Cream of Wheats" Swoopes had in two decades. Dinosaur Taurasi has been playing since before Abraham Lincoln was president and she doesn't even have ONE Triple Double. Two centuries of playing basketball and Dinosaur Taurasi still doesn't pass the ball.
they are trying to find the Most Valuable Player in the WNBA, If the title was Best Player in the WNBA, then we go simply with stats. But if we want to know who the most VALUABLE, its STATS, Viewership, Merch sales, Ticket sales and good representation of the W Brand, that is CC22. That is what any company wants, if you are there everyday, never missed a day, that would make you a great employee, but if you grow the company you are the MOST VALUABLE EMPLOYEE.

I could not stand to listen about this ESPN list. What does MVP mean? MOST VALUABLE PLAYER. Not the most physically gifted. If you were going to start one of the new future teams and you could choose any player . Would you choose super star Wilson or rookie Clark? If you don't choose Clark you don't understand basketball. WNBA need to clean up a great sport. Get real officials. Wake up because crazy people are making death threats and it is the fault of WNBA , Media, foolish people who want WOMEN'S basketball players like pro hockey or rugby. Catlin Clark is a once in a lifetime talent.
When they dissed CC, they woke the sleeping giant, poked the bear, grabbed the tiger by the tail, played with fire, opened Pandora's box, bit off more than they could chew, walked into the lion's den, shot themself in the foot, let the dogs out, put a hit on Vito Corleone, lit the fuse, drank the Kool-aid, unleashed the kraken, wrote a check they could not cash, crossed the Rubicon, told Tommy to go home and get his shinebox, leaped before looking, painted themself into a corner, tripped the wire, rocked the boat, stepped on a crack, did not stay in their lane, touched a nerve, stole John Wick's car and killed his dog, put their foot in their mouth, brought a knife to a gunfight, bombed Pearl Harbor, stirred up the hornet's nest, kicked against the goads, ran with the bulls, stepped on a rake, slipped on a banana peel, dropped the ball, swam with the sharks, danced with the devil, tripped over a land mine, poured gasoline on fire, boarded the RMS Titanic, tugged on Superman's cape, spit into the wind, pulled the mask off the old Lone Ranger and messed around with Jim.
ESPN is really weird about CC. The men all say she’s the next coming and the women all act like she’s “meh”. I’m sure it’ll get downvotes but i detect pure jealousy from the women.
ESPN picked the rookie of the year before the first game of the season. Clearly they are biased and only have eyes for AR. This is a disgraceful position from a sports network, and clearly they should be removed from the air waves!
Not the ESPN I've supported for so long. Their current business model has made me cancel my ESPN+ subscription.. They don't deserve even a dollar of my money..
Did you see the All Star vs Olympic game? The O team had Plum face guarding Clark in the backcourt even when she didn't have the rock. It was painfully obvious how much she's respected.
Clark is on pace to break the single season assist record, has a higher WS than Reese, has better TS, and is leading the worst team in the W from the floor of the league to contending with and beating the best teams in the league. If you want to give MVP A'ja Wilson that's totally reasonable, she's having a fantastic season. But to not give Clark ROTY at this stage would be ludicrous.
My favorite is ESPN using the phrase “advanced metrics” along with the tweet of their ridiculous rookie rankings list. “Advanced metrics” 🙄🙄🙄. Wondering what off-brand AI program they’re relying on for those “advanced metrics”.
Clark puts up those numbers despite the fact that every opponent SELLS OUT to keep her numbers down. Indiana is finally cashing in on the fact that you CAN'T play drop coverage on Clark off a screen, and the results speak for themselves. However, there is a HUGE disparity between how much respect she gets on the court (actions) and how much respect she gets when people speak her name (words). I can't remember, which is more important, words, or actions?
Clark is a genius on the basketball court. She is a small Larry Bird. Like Bird, she plays astep ahead.She plays the game the way Beethoven composed.... brilliantly!!!
Caitlin Clark has made an impact on the game like no other. She is packing arenas and has people like me watching the WNBA for the first time. She definitely is the rookie of the year and the way she is breaking records and is on this massive second half of the season run should be a contender for MVP. Her all around game has improved beyond measure. She has lifted the Fever from last in the league to play off contention.
Someone said it... I always have the feeling she cares more about her looks than the game. And every time she scores, she has to taunt the opposing team. At this stage scoring should feel more natural
@@MrReymoclif714he never said anything negative about Caitlin just said Angel Reese was the rookie of the year early. Caitlin started playing better and he changed his opinion. It’s weird how everyone acts like you have to be so entrenched on one player or another
Its even worse when you see that Clark averages almost 9 assists per game while "MeMeMe" Reese averages less than 2 assists per game. To see Clark working WITH her team and getting almost 9 assists per game while still crushing Reese's stats is too funny. If you took all the garbage time stats and all Reese's "MeBounds" due to her poor accuracy, she is just a thug while Clark is a surgeon.
ESPN coverage of Fever & CC is so deceitful. . . .last night's triple double - ESPN cut to a timeout with Fever up 5 & then they insinuated that Clark was intentionally left in the game to get the triple dub on the final brick from the Sparks and the ball bounced to CC . . . That was so untrue & false representation !!!
At the end of your video you told us to give you our thoughts, so I will. Catlin should be named MVP of the league, and here's why. You have to take her early stats with a salt mine and not just a grain of salt. She had just finished a grueling 40 game season at Iowa where she had led her Iowa team, a non basketball school to the NCAA championship game for the second year in a row. With no rest and playing with a team she never had time to practice with , faced the most daunting schedule ever put together against any team in the history of the WNBA, forced to play 11 games in 20 days against the best teams in the league, mostly on the road, where other teams main objective was to stop Catlin, including full court pressure at the start of the game. The fact that they even won 2 of those games and Catlin did a well as she did under the circumstances is a minor miracle. Aja Wilson was on a well established team surrounded by other stars and never in her entire career faced the defensive pressure Catlin faced. So trying to figure things out simply because of stats doesn't apply in this situation. And while Aja's team is sinking fast as her numbers are going up, kind of reminds you of a person named Angel doesn't it? in the mean time, 4 other players beside Catlin are having career years for the Fever. As long as this is still called a TEAM sport, Catlin is truly the MVP of the league. And I wouldn't doubt the WNBA is encouraging Aja to become the scoring and rebounding machine she is in order them to deny the MVP to Catlin even if it means sacrificing the team goals. The Olympic break was just what the doctor ordered and Clarks numbers after the break easily compairs to Aja's. Total points responsible for Catlin is far ahead of anybody, and is another seasonal all time record she is going to break, even with the relatively slow start. Catlin will basically own the rookie all time record book accept for total rebounds and rebounds in a game, although she will break the record for most rebound by a rookie guard in a game and in a season. And will most likely break the record for most rebounds in a season by a guard. And she will own major stock in the season all time record list. NOW WHO DO YOU THINK THE MVP SHOULD BE? Let me get your comments.
The ROTY debate was over long ago, so there's no point discussing it, apart for why it was fabricated. The MVP is not the best player, but the one that adds the most value to their team. Statistically this can be gauged most easily by wins or by +/-, for example. Anointing someone for MVP of the season because of their performance or achievements in the previous year's playoffs (or in the Olympics) is ludicrous. Other channels covered it, and the true MVP should be CC22, although she most probably won't get it, for obvious (bad) reasons. P. S. I hope they get the Lynx and send them packing.
Caitlin is like Magic or Bird with their court vision that involves the whole team and therefore elevates their game. Aja is the kind of player that is the offense as well, give her the ball and get out of the way. As dominant as she may be, that arguably makes her teammates worse. Who would you rather play with?
AJ is 1 but cc is 1b . if CC wins her last 6 games and balls like she doing with same stat lines she will break the all time wnba assist record not rookie but ALL TIME. THATS 1 of the ALL TIME wnba record she will break in her FIRST SEASON. she will also break the 20 pts 10ast ALL TIME wnba record thats the 2nd there are more just google it. if AJ loses 3 games and fever wins all then they have a tie record at that point CC should be unanimous MVP. she breaking 30 years old record in her first year lol bruh quit with the ROTY convo its been done since she was in NCAA basically only a fool would say otherwise. now she might get MVP but just like the olympics she will get snub while having better stats all across the board then taurasi lol. its fine tho...
I think it was legit at first, just all the bizarre politics and narratives these days, but yeah there’s at least some hate-click motives now, if not a lot.
Reese double dribbles twice at 6:38 and carry’s the ball. She’s got some funky dribbling. This is a style of dribbling and not an isolated incident. It’ll start getting called.
CC is definitely a top 2 MVP because she change how Fever play their game from the pace alone and catering towards her playstyle where she's the center of their offense. You can see that every time she's on the floor that 90% of the time her teammates gives the ball to her when the ball is with them or they rebound that or steal it it always passes to CC for majority of their possession of the ball
Whatever happened to: watch basketball.... Enjoy basketball..... Move on with your life..... Do things that matter to you....... Watch more basketball...... Enjoy basketball.... Take care of yourself..... Oh yeah.... The internet happened... Yeah I'm here but the internet does not run my life. This popped up in my feed and I thought I'd take a look at it.... Time to get back to doing things that matter
CC is the best rookie, but slagging ESPN is misplaced. The rankings are based on an average of various advanced value metrics, all of which have been used for a long time and none of which were developed by ESPN. They stated their methodology from the get go and there's value in not changing the methodology mid-stream. The problem is that all these advanced stats value offensive rebounds very highly. This makes sense because they are *extremely* valuable. But Angel's, not so much. Why? Because they frequently come from her own miss, and she has had many possessions where she racks of 2 or 3 offensive rebounds in one possession. This is unusual and the models don't account for it very well.
Please remember that the so-called slow start for Catlin was mainly caused by her teammates not realizing that they could win games. Once Clarke convinced them that winning was a team sport, and proving that she IS the most unselfish player of this generation, that's when everyone on team began to shine. That is the main reason she was disrespected by other players because 1) There are players that would never share the spotlight with others. 2) There are players who woke up to the fact that they used to be pretty damn good players themselves!
You have some of the Best Analysis and Best Comments - y'all don't miss a thing.🏆🎉 Angel bowed out, after Shaq's take on CC22 she had to get out to try to get better for next year. Her Reebok bank will go the way of her rebound credibility.
At beginning of season when she got waylayed and she just shrugged it off but at the end of the clip she adds but it seems no one really paid much attention. “I’ve been watching the WNBA my entire life, I know what it’s about and what to expect(Paraphrasing) So she knew what was coming, the whole thing, the resentment, the jealousy and the negativity. And she knew she just needed time. Time for her to make her adjustments to her own game and time with new teammates. Because she knew then that she was going to take it over and that they would see she would be amazing for all of them. See that she was actually there for them. She wanted to save in her childhood favorite league because she loves it so much. She knew she could make it happen
Still can’t figure out how they don’t call her for a double dribble when she hands the ball from her left to her right in the middle of a dribble. Wnba refs are HS rejects.
MVP is the most VALUABLE player, so who brings the most VALUE to the WNBA ? Caitlin Clark brings the most VALUE into the WNBA, she's bring money into the coffers and has brought people into watching their ges, more merchandise sales...MORE VALUE it isn't about points but what you bring into the league to enrich the league. Caitlin Clark, ROTY and MVP.
At this point, CC has broken and locked at least 14 records for rookie that I know of including Triple double. She also locked for assists imo since Fever still has some games to plays. She surely number one picked for MVP for me and she should be appreciated more by the WNBA for the sole reason to made people who don't care about WNBA like me start to paid attention and bought the season tickets because of CC. Well my daughter implore me but the point still stand.

Wake up because crazy people are making death threats and it is the fault of WNBA , Media, foolish people who want WOMEN'S basketball players like pro hockey or rugby. Catlin Clark is a once in a lifetime talent.
ESPN acronym. Embarrassing Sports Pimps Network.
When they dissed CC, they woke the sleeping giant, poked the bear, grabbed the tiger by the tail, played with fire, opened Pandora's box, bit off more than they could chew, walked into the lion's den, shot themself in the foot, let the dogs out, put a hit on Vito Corleone, lit the fuse, drank the Kool-aid, unleashed the kraken, wrote a check they could not cash, crossed the Rubicon, told Tommy to go home and get his shinebox, leaped before looking, painted themself into a corner, tripped the wire, rocked the boat, stepped on a crack, did not stay in their lane, touched a nerve, stole John Wick's car and killed his dog, put their foot in their mouth, brought a knife to a gunfight, bombed Pearl Harbor, stirred up the hornet's nest, kicked against the goads, ran with the bulls, stepped on a rake, slipped on a banana peel, dropped the ball, swam with the sharks, danced with the devil, tripped over a land mine, poured gasoline on fire, boarded the RMS Titanic, tugged on Superman's cape, spit into the wind, pulled the mask off the old Lone Ranger and messed around with Jim.
🤣👏👏👏👏
I learned a lot about english phrases. Thx to you!
Who is Aja Wilson? Who is Reese? What is WNBA? I only knew Women's Basketball because of Caitlin Clark.
That’s your fault
ESPN is really weird about CC. The men all say she’s the next coming and the women all act like she’s “meh”. I’m sure it’ll get downvotes but i detect pure jealousy from the women.
A third of Reese's rebounds are from her own missed shots. If not for her terrible shooting percentage, she wouldn't have a record number of rebounds.
ESPN picked the rookie of the year before the first game of the season. Clearly they are biased and only have eyes for AR. This is a disgraceful position from a sports network, and clearly they should be removed from the air waves!
Is Reese carrying here? 6:38
I was looking for this comment. Not just once...twice. LOL
I thought I imagined it
She went on a trip with 2 carry ons.
It’s a double dribble
I too was looking for this comment. I'm not even a huge basketball fan but that set off alarm bells in my head.
ESPN has sold their soul for the all might Click..!!!!
Precisely. I feel a big part of ESPN's integrity was lost when the great Stuart Scott was taken from us...
RIP Stu ❤
Not the ESPN I've supported for so long. Their current business model has made me cancel my ESPN+ subscription.. They don't deserve even a dollar of my money..
They are demeaning themselves.
You're preaching to the chour!! 110% AGREE!!!!!
The Fevers also started the season playing 11 games in 20 days and most of them were against the top teams in the league
ESPN is all about politics not sports.
Last video ever on what ESPN is doing. They litterally have ZERO legs to stand on. Nothing they ever say from now on has ANY meaning.
Did you see the All Star vs Olympic game? The O team had Plum face guarding Clark in the backcourt even when she didn't have the rock. It was painfully obvious how much she's respected.
Clark is on pace to break the single season assist record, has a higher WS than Reese, has better TS, and is leading the worst team in the W from the floor of the league to contending with and beating the best teams in the league.
If you want to give MVP A'ja Wilson that's totally reasonable, she's having a fantastic season. But to not give Clark ROTY at this stage would be ludicrous.
Assists are definitely more valuable than rebounds
Let us start boycott ESPN!!!Biasss
ESPN has literally flushed all of their credibility down the toilet. I have stopped watching altogether. You can't fix stupid.
My favorite is ESPN using the phrase “advanced metrics” along with the tweet of their ridiculous rookie rankings list. “Advanced metrics” 🙄🙄🙄. Wondering what off-brand AI program they’re relying on for those “advanced metrics”.
Most Likely One The WNBA gave them
None. They list their methodology at the top of every update.
Caitlin Clark is MVP
MOST VALUABLE PLAYER
AND MPP
MOST PRICELESS PLAYER
She's not a mvp
She is definitely not the MVP
Clark puts up those numbers despite the fact that every opponent SELLS OUT to keep her numbers down. Indiana is finally cashing in on the fact that you CAN'T play drop coverage on Clark off a screen, and the results speak for themselves. However, there is a HUGE disparity between how much respect she gets on the court (actions) and how much respect she gets when people speak her name (words). I can't remember, which is more important, words, or actions?
If you think Reese is your #1 pick for ROTY you are biased .
Clark is a genius on the basketball court. She is a small Larry Bird. Like Bird, she plays astep ahead.She plays the game the way Beethoven composed.... brilliantly!!!
It's simple, Clark isn't a lesbian.
How you knowshe isn't a lesbian, but certainly look like one...
ROFL You arent lying!!!
But she’s eating their @ss up 😂
She’s the white Jackie Robinson
Or black...
Just a reminder of why I don't watch ESPN. CC is ROTY and MVP.
Caitlin Clark has made an impact on the game like no other. She is packing arenas and has people like me watching the WNBA for the first time. She definitely is the rookie of the year and the way she is breaking records and is on this massive second half of the season run should be a contender for MVP. Her all around game has improved beyond measure. She has lifted the Fever from last in the league to play off contention.
"I'm not trying to disrespect Angel Reese" while showing her quadruple double dribble. Top tier trolling @DKM!
ESPN should fire all their staff
Clark should be MVP and Reese is only second ranked Rookie on the SKY team, Reese has 2 more years in the WNBA, her heart isn't in this game.
Someone said it... I always have the feeling she cares more about her looks than the game. And every time she scores, she has to taunt the opposing team. At this stage scoring should feel more natural
But I've seen Stephen A Smith stick up for Caitlin Clark, so I'm not sure why he's called out
He’s a bit of a flopper?
@@MrReymoclif714he never said anything negative about Caitlin just said Angel Reese was the rookie of the year early. Caitlin started playing better and he changed his opinion. It’s weird how everyone acts like you have to be so entrenched on one player or another
When it comes to AR you know ESPN is playing the race card.
ESPN playing the race card. 🤷🏻♂️
Its even worse when you see that Clark averages almost 9 assists per game while "MeMeMe" Reese averages less than 2 assists per game. To see Clark working WITH her team and getting almost 9 assists per game while still crushing Reese's stats is too funny. If you took all the garbage time stats and all Reese's "MeBounds" due to her poor accuracy, she is just a thug while Clark is a surgeon.
Everybody left Caitlin out, thinking she wouldn't adjust to the WNBA, I thought was the WNBA ready to adjust to Caitlin Clark?
ESPN coverage of Fever & CC is so deceitful. . . .last night's triple double - ESPN cut to a timeout with Fever up 5 & then they insinuated that Clark was intentionally left in the game to get the triple dub on the final brick from the Sparks and the ball bounced to CC . . . That was so untrue & false representation !!!
No matter what number they give her, she’ll always be number 1 in our hearts!
😂😂. mental health is so important 😂
Caitlin Is Holding Back her full Potentials Just Wait Until The Play Offs She Will prove She Owns The WNBA/NBA Generation Player
What more does she have to do to overcome Reese? Be black.
Don’t forget she also has to join the letter community
ESPN has been a running joke for years.....
ESPN - ESPECIALLY SHITTY PRESS NETWORK!
At the end of your video you told us to give you our thoughts, so I will. Catlin should be named MVP of the league, and here's why. You have to take her early stats with a salt mine and not just a grain of salt. She had just finished a grueling 40 game season at Iowa where she had led her Iowa team, a non basketball school to the NCAA championship game for the second year in a row. With no rest and playing with a team she never had time to practice with , faced the most daunting schedule ever put together against any team in the history of the WNBA, forced to play 11 games in 20 days against the best teams in the league, mostly on the road, where other teams main objective was to stop Catlin, including full court pressure at the start of the game. The fact that they even won 2 of those games and Catlin did a well as she did under the circumstances is a minor miracle. Aja Wilson was on a well established team surrounded by other stars and never in her entire career faced the defensive pressure Catlin faced. So trying to figure things out simply because of stats doesn't apply in this situation. And while Aja's team is sinking fast as her numbers are going up, kind of reminds you of a person named Angel doesn't it? in the mean time, 4 other players beside Catlin are having career years for the Fever. As long as this is still called a TEAM sport, Catlin is truly the MVP of the league. And I wouldn't doubt the WNBA is encouraging Aja to become the scoring and rebounding machine she is in order them to deny the MVP to Catlin even if it means sacrificing the team goals. The Olympic break was just what the doctor ordered and Clarks numbers after the break easily compairs to Aja's. Total points responsible for Catlin is far ahead of anybody, and is another seasonal all time record she is going to break, even with the relatively slow start. Catlin will basically own the rookie all time record book accept for total rebounds and rebounds in a game, although she will break the record for most rebound by a rookie guard in a game and in a season. And will most likely break the record for most rebounds in a season by a guard. And she will own major stock in the season all time record list. NOW WHO DO YOU THINK THE MVP SHOULD BE? Let me get your comments.
This being her first year, and had accomplished what she has, hands down, she is #1!
ESPN has been a joke for a while now. Don’t waste your time.
F ESPN! CANCEL THEM.
Who said Reese is "better than expected"?
Her personal achievements do not translate into team success. So what is the point besides padding?
DKM that plum trade to the fever is diabolical😂😂 11:19
The ROTY debate was over long ago, so there's no point discussing it, apart for why it was fabricated.
The MVP is not the best player, but the one that adds the most value to their team. Statistically this can be gauged most easily by wins or by +/-, for example.
Anointing someone for MVP of the season because of their performance or achievements in the previous year's playoffs (or in the Olympics) is ludicrous.
Other channels covered it, and the true MVP should be CC22, although she most probably won't get it, for obvious (bad) reasons.
P. S. I hope they get the Lynx and send them packing.
Caitlin is like Magic or Bird with their court vision that involves the whole team and therefore elevates their game. Aja is the kind of player that is the offense as well, give her the ball and get out of the way. As dominant as she may be, that arguably makes her teammates worse. Who would you rather play with?
And to be all the way Frank im piccn CAITLIN CLARK over Wilson to start and build a franchise around
Everyone would, she is the playmaker.
ESPN is a dying network and Reece is a role player
Anything and everything from ESPN OBVIOUSLY is false...
caitlins points produced her last 10 games is MVP good
AJ is 1 but cc is 1b . if CC wins her last 6 games and balls like she doing with same stat lines she will break the all time wnba assist record not rookie but ALL TIME. THATS 1 of the ALL TIME wnba record she will break in her FIRST SEASON. she will also break the 20 pts 10ast ALL TIME wnba record thats the 2nd there are more just google it. if AJ loses 3 games and fever wins all then they have a tie record at that point CC should be unanimous MVP. she breaking 30 years old record in her first year lol bruh quit with the ROTY convo its been done since she was in NCAA basically only a fool would say otherwise. now she might get MVP but just like the olympics she will get snub while having better stats all across the board then taurasi lol. its fine tho...
thank you dkm for another generational vid
I AM DONE WITH ESPN
Ha Ha, have not watched them In Many Years
Oh no, what are they going to do 😮
All good… whatever it takes to get they ratings up
I think it was legit at first, just all the bizarre politics and narratives these days, but yeah there’s at least some hate-click motives now, if not a lot.
Reese double dribbles twice at 6:38 and carry’s the ball. She’s got some funky dribbling. This is a style of dribbling and not an isolated incident. It’ll start getting called.
Katlin is it ! Katlin could win the three-point contest in the NBA!
As a Belgian,Vanloo is great for Belgium(It's Meeseman with her and Allemand or Delaere as co-stars and she's been great for Washi,but above Clark 😂😂😂
Also. They're covering CC with THREE people most of the time and padding angel whatsit's stats.
CC is definitely a top 2 MVP because she change how Fever play their game from the pace alone and catering towards her playstyle where she's the center of their offense. You can see that every time she's on the floor that 90% of the time her teammates gives the ball to her when the ball is with them or they rebound that or steal it it always passes to CC for majority of their possession of the ball
Whatever happened to: watch basketball.... Enjoy basketball..... Move on with your life..... Do things that matter to you....... Watch more basketball...... Enjoy basketball.... Take care of yourself..... Oh yeah.... The internet happened... Yeah I'm here but the internet does not run my life. This popped up in my feed and I thought I'd take a look at it.... Time to get back to doing things that matter
CC is the best rookie, but slagging ESPN is misplaced. The rankings are based on an average of various advanced value metrics, all of which have been used for a long time and none of which were developed by ESPN. They stated their methodology from the get go and there's value in not changing the methodology mid-stream.
The problem is that all these advanced stats value offensive rebounds very highly. This makes sense because they are *extremely* valuable. But Angel's, not so much. Why? Because they frequently come from her own miss, and she has had many possessions where she racks of 2 or 3 offensive rebounds in one possession. This is unusual and the models don't account for it very well.
ESPN list is like Rotten Tomatoes list for movies. The expert list is driven by political agenda, the audience list is real.
Caitlin had 31 and 12 when she played Angel last time, not 28 and 12 like this guy says.
Please remember that the so-called slow start for Catlin was mainly caused by her teammates not realizing that they could win games. Once Clarke convinced them that winning was a team sport, and proving that she IS the most unselfish player of this generation, that's when everyone on team began to shine. That is the main reason she was disrespected by other players because 1) There are players that would never share the spotlight with others. 2) There are players who woke up to the fact that they used to be pretty damn good players themselves!
ESPN are clowns.
Wouldn't surprise me if Angel Reese doesn't get ROTY, nope, not one bit..
“Diet Clark” is vile 😂😂😂😂 I can’t stop laughing
Is it just me or does AR double dribble twice in a row @6:36 ?
I was jus saying the same thing lol
CC is the white Jackie Robinson. Read it again.
You have some of the Best Analysis and Best Comments - y'all don't miss a thing.🏆🎉
Angel bowed out, after Shaq's take on CC22 she had to get out to try to get better for next year. Her Reebok bank will go the way of her rebound credibility.
At beginning of season when she got waylayed and she just shrugged it off but at the end of the clip she adds but it seems no one really paid much attention. “I’ve been watching the WNBA my entire life, I know what it’s about and what to expect(Paraphrasing)
So she knew what was coming, the whole thing, the resentment, the jealousy and the negativity. And she knew she just needed time. Time for her to make her adjustments to her own game and time with new teammates. Because she knew then that she was going to take it over and that they would see she would be amazing for all of them. See that she was actually there for them. She wanted to save in her childhood favorite league because she loves it so much. She knew she could make it happen
CC could literally win the MVP and the championship, ESPN would still not give her ROTY apparently. 😂
Wilson is a great scorer and a good defender in the post but she isn't in Clark's class when it comes to total impact on the game.
Still can’t figure out how they don’t call her for a double dribble when she hands the ball from her left to her right in the middle of a dribble. Wnba refs are HS rejects.
Is the ESPN the judge of who gets the rookie of the year award? Or the WNBA?
Am I the only one that had to reply the traveling at 6:36
Nope.
I would pick CC over Aja Wilson in a draft right now. Everyday. She's already the GOAT 🐐
MVP is the most VALUABLE player, so who brings the most VALUE to the WNBA ? Caitlin Clark brings the most VALUE into the WNBA, she's bring money into the coffers and has brought people into watching their ges, more merchandise sales...MORE VALUE it isn't about points but what you bring into the league to enrich the league. Caitlin Clark, ROTY and MVP.
DKM cooking
We know! Another Triple D! CC is ROTY and the MVP of the "league!"
ESPN lying about Caitlin Clark? Say it ain’t so Joe. Say it ain’t so. LOL
At this point, CC has broken and locked at least 14 records for rookie that I know of including Triple double.
She also locked for assists imo since Fever still has some games to plays.
She surely number one picked for MVP for me and she should be appreciated more by the WNBA for the sole reason to made people who don't care about WNBA like me start to paid attention and bought the season tickets because of CC.
Well my daughter implore me but the point still stand.
