Humble and generous with praise for teammates. The key to success.
And she has become the media leader after only two games, when you have it you have it. She talks about the team like she's been there for a season.
Well i think they usually pick two highest scoring players from each team to do media
Coach Clark
Yall gotta stop with all the meat riding she went 5/15 with 10 turnovers. That's a horrible game for anyone she don't get no pass just because she can speak well and the new media darling 😂😂😂
Clark talks like a coach
May be one and Im positive she'd be a really good one.
She's been in that culture of being coached her whole life, makes sense.
Always said that when we covered her. Kate Martin also spoke like a coach, and does want to coach, someday.
I've never seen anything like C.C. and it takes absolutely nothing away from the WNBA and the greatest players both then and now. I love C.C. and love WNBA basketball.
Finally a sane Caitlin Clark fan
Love Caitlin but Smith is a model no complaints baller … I’m starting to love her game.
Yup. CC brought me to their game NaLyssa doing her part to keep me here.
CC is so great that eventhough she had an off-night that she self-criticized herself by saying she wasn't that effective, but lead the team in assists and rebounds.
CC just getting started 👀
Caitlin is so good they have to double and triple team her to shut her down which opens up her team mates to make shots. And since Caitlin can throw so well she passes like a monster as well.
Did she just rotate that label, product placement 😮😅😅😅😊 I'm a go get me a case of yellow Gatorade, right now.
She’s in full Ricky Bobby mode… I piss excellence
Your game and life will improve tremendously if you do as CC does.
Give her the MVP! Right now!!!!!
I believe she did!!!
She was a marketing major 😅
THIS is exactly why we love this T-E-A-M
CC is a legend 🏀👍💯⭐️💎❤️
As great as they were on their own, her Iowa teammates were playing with a living legend.
GODDAMN....., CAN SHE ATLEAST WIN ROOKIE OF THE YEAR FIRST.....???? LOL
@@cheezy5440 CC won the world 🌎 over 🏆💫❤️💎👍 she the GOAT
Smith got skills! CC will deliver!!!
This team has started to come out smoking. Caitlin in this press conf is insightful, looking forward to 7 games in 12 days, & veteran NaLyssa saying at 8:58, "We are gonna jell a lot more as we get more comfortable with each other." This team with veterans & Caitlin's zeal, with what Kelsey Plum says is a high IQ, will be powerful, sooner rather than later.
It happened
Nalyssa can Ball!
Love her!
It's an understatement that they were physical with Clark. She was being held, pushed and blocked the whole game.
Respect Smith, a great player and mind thinker.
Gatorade sales just skyrocketed
Paid for that Caitlin Clark tapestry they put on the side of that building in Indianapolis.
That's why we Love Caitlin,it's not all about her,she always gives props to her teammates
She did the same here at Iowa. She elevated her teammates, and in doing so, made them better. Kate Martin did the same.
Loved the post game talk, loved their outfits, loved the vibes. Good stuff. I'm a fan of the WNBA 2024 !
I don't follow WNBA but have looked at the box scores from her first 2 games and she is solid. First game shot 38% from 3 which is as good as average NBA players. Second game she handled the ball, passed well and as a 6' guard led the team in rebounds. Nothing wrong with those numbers either. It's not all about scoring.
For fun if you want, may I suggest to watch some of this video of Iowa beating undefeated So Carolina in 2023 Final Four? Start 1st Qtr 8:00 on game clock, 2:10 video time, when as Clark scores game's 1st points. Whole game is a Clark clinic. Iowa vs. South Carolina - 2023 NCAA women’s Final Four | FULL REPLAY
It wouldn’t surprise me if she planned to spend this game figuring out how to use her weapons (teammates) to put together a super strong team for the future.
Wow. You didn’t mention she shot about 28% threes and had as many turnovers as assist. Umm. Of nothing spectacular to brag about.
@@jameswilson8103 She seems to be doing just fine for her first two games as a rookie.
33%
CC has 3 defenders on her a lot so others are open for the buckets!
Unfortunately, when she is covered or trapped by two, and sometimes three, her teammates don't rush to help her. They just stand around the perimeter and watch. Never happened at Iowa. I can't imagine Kate Martin or Gabbie not going over to help.
I think she has a very fine line to walk between the media, asking her tough questions about her teammates. Media seems to think that the team didn't exist before she got there and that's a tough situation for her to be in
I agree but I think she does quite a job with this. Her teammates will likely see her as genuine and they have a lot to be thankful of her for. Both her teammates and the entire WNBA should be thankful. Before this year I couldn’t name a single wnba team. Now I am a fan. And a lot of people now know NyLissa and other teammates. Go WNBA!
@@stevethompson210 Same. After watching CC play I started looking at other players and teams I think Kelsey Plum is another player I'll keep my eye on but I'm a Fever fan through and through since Clark going there is what got me watching WNBA
The fact the avg crowd attendance was 4k and they got 13k to come out for a preseason game shows Caitlyn impact is insane
These new “ fans “ are not fans of the W; they’re fans of CC. This league has never gotten much interest and for good reason. Hopefully this is a step in the right direction but I for one can’t even sit through a single half of WNBA basketball lead alone an entire season.
The Caitlin Clark Effect is real. She, along with the rest of the team, brought in 82 million in revenue to our State. That's a crazy thought.
they both did good with the press.
Beautiful women without make up.❤
Mmmhmmmm! I'm hoping she leaves her bf for me! 😊
@@k.c.r.5974 No, they are cute together, besides there are too many claiming her.😂
@@mlouise1828 yeah but CC is the hottest. Let her make her own decisions to be with me forever!!!
@@mlouise1828 do you think C.C. will marry me one day? Yes or yes?
@@k.c.r.5974 lol
Keep going hard Caitlin!
Charisma is Charisma
A preseason game with 13,000 people! She moves the needle!
This will soon fade before season ends
This is the new flavor in town
Nobody has ever watched the WNBA
Every year before this year I hated women's basketball now I am watching preseason basketball games because of Caitlin Clark
#Metoo
“Hated” so lame lmao
@icanbreathe9161 yes hated what's wrong you can speak proper English??
Her style of play just draws you in. She is exciting to watch and so was her Iowa team.
Great press I’m a fan fr
Regardless of how it’s happening, I’m loving how much attention is being given to the Wonen’s game. As long at they keep living up to the hype, they will get the mainstream respect they’ve been wanting
People were worried about players in the WNBA roughing her up as a rookie. Not sure that's going to happen. I think everyone knows who's buying dinner.
NaLyssa is my spirit animal
One of the most impressive things about Caitlin is her intelligence.
I think she could a part of the game as long as she wants through coaching and broadcasting as well.
Good point. She would make a great announcer too.
The Gatorade mic drop! 🎤😂
Players need to make themselves available to CC PASS. FEVER will struggle against the TALL TIMBER TEAMS. IT'S PRE-SEASON, TIME TO TRY COMBO'S, MIX AND MATCH.
Caitlin passes like bird. All players just better be ready.
As a 99" Hawkeye alum, I never watched woman's basketball. This past year, watching my Hawkeyes. Now I watch indiana fever!!!
Crazy how most of us that are from Iowa knew we had a great 50 year history of women's/girls basketball in this state, but really didn't take notice until the past two years.
She worked in that Gatorade sponsorship 😂
I did like CC’s defense, esp in 4th Q.
When she played here at Iowa the media was on her butt about her defense. It's the only thing they could find to pick her apart about. Then again, who would want the top scorer, and assist leader, in the nation (and of all time) in the paint battling for the ball? As a result, Caitlin stayed healthy her entire Iowa career.
@@Thewrestlecast Caitlin was Iowa’s offense, they couldn’t risk CC getting into any foul trouble for defense.
Love Nalyssa's lesbian heart on her hat
love caitlin :D
She is an impressive kid….easy to root for
I've covered her at Iowa. She's a good person.
All I knew about the WNBA before CC was Washington had a team. Now I have a subscription to WNBA on UA-camTV. Tickets for any game have gone up 300%. She will make every woman quadruple their salaries. She's the Tiger Woods of women's basketball.
That's how it was when she was at Iowa. It just roped everyone in.
CC should be player / coach for the fever
Yeah...she could coach. That's no doubt. She never got credit for being a game/floor manager while at Iowa.
I mean Caitlin already ready. Lfg.
Clark has exposed how bad the WNBA is. Hopefully more players come along with her skills to bring the WNBA to a higher level than a boys high school game........
Would be great if she could convince them to play with a brown ball.
Of course, CC is a wonderful person besides being a great bball player. It is because of her that they are seeing 5 times the amount of people in pre season at that. Everybody knows this, it's no secret. That all equates to .....$$$$$$$$ for not only the team but the league.
Sweater looks dope 👌
You can see her thinking of ways to not let the media create issues for her teammates and other WNBA players. You can tell the limelight is putting pressure on her. Reminds me of the time Lebron came into the NBA. They acted like it was second coming of the Christ. He handled the pressure extremely well. I hope she can take from his example to shape the future of 5he WNBA. I Hope these women capitalize on the excitement so the league can improve and be as exciting as the NBA.
She's actually pretty intelligent and well grounded. A lot of the women from that Iowa team are all like this.
Game tickets are 10 time more when CC is playing 350 vs 35 go figure
Wonderful woman basketball player..
Mr. Clark
The martinet Sides is stifling CC’s enthusiastic exuberance that brings in money and fills seats so I want the coach to release CC with expeditious dispatch. The myrmidons in the WNBA need to stand aside. It had years to elevate its prestige in the public mind but failed. CC even elevated the former superstars some of whom display a paucity of respect for her contributions, and whose names I am only now learning about just because CC brought me in. How long before a possibly stifled and disheartened CC demands a trade to a team that is willing to use those unique entertaining talents in addition to her scoring prowess that enriches the whole of the WNBA and its male investors as well as the NBA that subsidize it?
Fire the Indiana head coach. Fire her!
Doble teem all ways going to be one player free
Is the bar so low that we are in “awe” of someone doing what they are supposed to do. If you are raised right by a nuclear family (both parents in the home) this is the result. You should be humble, honest, accountable, and speak well.
All of the girls on the Iowa team were just like her. Humble, hardworking, really good people. Starts in the home, but our coach, Lisa Bluder, deserves credit for creating a culture like that within the Iowa program.
Flowers? Do you mean credit, admiration, or acknowledgment? There's a difference. The hive mind language means the end of specific understanding - of intelligent discourse.
flowers...no different from "lit" or "fire"...or getting the bag...dem be da lingo nowdays
Simmer down professor 😂
Jesus.....stay salty grumpy.
@@ThisIsHarderThanIThought No Cap
She should've got paid more tbh.
She did get some great endorsements. Thinking, with the Wilson endorsement, it was up to $28 million. If the WNBA won't pay these women, there are many willing sponsors and advertisers who will :)
Must have been a different game that they are commenting on. The one tonight was filled with misses at the rim and Clark having to pull up in transition while her teammates tied their shoes and exchanged DMs. Nalyssa and Clark showed up but there was no evident offensive scheme. They were able to win because Atlanta used this scrimmage to test players on the bubble, shooting 20% or so and giving the game away. Neither team has heard of offensive rebounds. Boston needs to show up every play - not landing in cements inviting opponents to block her. Professional? Hmm...it's hard not to wonder how they spent the offseason - conditioning and fundamentals like finishing at the rim don't appear to have been on the menu.
They really needto do better if they want to have a good standing. Some are slow foot and lacks accuracy and tact when shooting near or under the goal. I observed that wheeler and the other blond hair team mate are reliable when CC is bringing in the ball.
@@JaimeTorresJr along with Smith they were trying but they're just not used to playing at that level, at most they're used to swinging a couple of passes and then pretending that they are Allen Iverson like you see on every other team. They really need a lot of long and disciplined practices and then to hold to that discipline during the games. You saw the Iowa teams remain disciplined through many many games where they were behind. They would remain steady with their higher percentage shots and just wait for the other team to crack when the pressure was applied.
They also need to know that finishing at The rim means not finishing underneath the rim. Some coaching on spatial relations and angles to the basket would help a lot.
Couldnt land in a better place,basketball fans wise. Unless they just absolutely suck,the fans will show up n support them . Check out the size of some of the high school gyms in Indiana. Many of the nations largest. Basketball is in the blood,lol. Pacers played in market Square Arena and were hard pressed to fill the 17k seats. With support from basketball crazy fans,if they play well,they might put 10k plus in seats most nites. Wouldnt shock me at all.
And you were right. Selling out and doing it big time in the amount of 17,000 a game.
I hope CC plays as well as you expect. The bigger you are the harder you fall. She is over hyped. This is a prime example, she did not play great and even coach said she needed to improve. Furthermore, why is she being interviewed when the night belonged to Nalyssa. This is why she gets hate. If she fails, she will no longer be the media darling and you and CC fans will have excuses and cry foul with many excuses. I will be back to discuss end of the year. Let’s see if CC and you fans prove me wrong. Until then peace and blessings.
Clark is cooking bbq 🍗
Sounds super intelligent, the anti LeBron LOL. No team mate or coach blaming here
I just don't think Caitlin likes being on camera or asked questions. She is so awkward. It cracks me up. LOL no hate against her it's just something I've noticed. And she had to keep taking drinks and fiddling with whatever and she's always messing with her teeth. She probably dreads when they have to do this. I noticed it because I would probably be doing the same type of stuff.😂😂😂😂
She literally took that lid off and put it back on like 20 times. LOL and then right in the beginning where she took the drink and when she was putting it down she hit the mic. 😂😂😂😂
Obviously some of the players are kind of annoyed that somebody who hasn’t done much yet in their league is getting all the fanfare and attention but at the end of the day some attention is better then no attention and in the long run it could mean more money and interest for everyone.
Oh yea, they know who is buying steak.
Donot turn your Gatorade much, there are many jealous and envious people. They cannot hold their emotions of envy and jealous.
But...but...Taurasi said...
Go White Sox!!
21 years less seasons and already a better leader... 😂
They were hot and sweating. It was terrible the way they were treated..no airconditioning?
I thought that was Russell westBRICK!!
Carlin Clark reminds me of the crazy white girl girlfriend from “Get Out”
That girl can play she Phyiscal too smith
Have to adjust to the feminine Clark sitting next to those different types of "women"
Women don’t want people like you watching them 😢
Caitlin Clark Kent 🦸
Pete Maravich LSU 1967-1970 averaged 44 points per game,
Clark 28. He averaged 1,222 points per year, Clark 988 per year.
Total college games played Maravich 83, Clark 139.
Pete Maravich could only play 3 college years.
Freshmen could not play. AND no 3-point line.
Any other stats for a random player you care to provide :)
🤣
But Pete Maravich is dead.
Maravich NCAA tournament appearances. 0
Caitlin Clark NCAA tournament appearances 2 Championship Games
Maravich in SEC. Almost exclusively white players due to segregation.
Caitlin Clark. Best black & white players nationwide at tournament level.
Segregation and Daddy coach lets him shoot 38 times per game. Maravich was amazing. So is Clark.
Reporter full of it she was not that effective what the hell game did you look at must been a college game
Why they say girls and in the NBA they say names or players?
4-12 shooting at 2-9 from 3pt land and that deserves praise? Oh yeah…6 turnovers?
Everybody has an off nights aside from being doubled or tripled team. As moron as you are, you will always find negative aspect to the person you envy most.
It’s preseason game two. Does Waldoinaz need some ❤?
I’m sorry you were never hugged as a child Waldo
@Waldo..Stay clueless. On a off shooting night,she drove the ball hard,set up others for scoring and got the win. First time being a basketball fan?
@@RickMcGuire-bl2vs
Clearly you’re not real bright. Let me spell it out for you skippy.
When the headlines read, “Clark and player X combine for 33 points,” she’s being propped up. Her stats we predominantly really bad. I wish her all the best but she has to prove herself with consistency.
Have your two moms explain it to you.
gatorade
Please say compliments instead of flowers sounds so stupid
Caitlin looks traumatized, like she just got horrible news, fighting back tears at the end. What is up?
That’s the way she always looks. 😂
@@jakst.8065and she's just played a hard game!
Thinking she is exhausted. She hasn't had a break since last fall when practices began at Iowa.
Her dog died.
Epic? 😂
This is bad
It is but remember,you CAN do better. Stay at it and work hard.
Why does the other guest dress like a street gangster
Cause shd probably grew up there. Never goes away even once you live in the real world now.
I really like Caitlin Clark, but she talks far too much.
We have a clip on here of Hannah Stuelke telling Caitlin, and the press, the same thing. LOL
These 2 hooking up in a game, those 2 clicking....it's game over!!!!
There's a lot of woman hating on Clark in the league; to the point that they are tarketing her. In the end it will actually help the WNBA. The tarketing is only gonna make the game more uptempo and exciting. Good for the league.
They know who is buying steak for everyone ;)
Clark and smith will be a stronger duo than Clark and boston's
Boston doesn't seem like she's in shape. She's not very mobile.
She needs to add weight and cardio to her training. Some of these athletes are big girls that play at a higher tempo even with the extra weight. She was clearly winded in the first half. College ball seems more regimental and mechanical compared to the more physical WNBA.
True. They'll have to work on her shot as they do. Bulking up can throw her shot way off.
Great game, Nalyssa 🔥 Really enjoyed your hustle and game IQ. 🫶👏👏👏
