Shout out to Erica Wheeler from the Indiana Fever. She was on twitter being so pumped when Caitlin announced she was going to the draft. She was not jealous, even called Caitlin "Baby Goat". That made me smile. Not all are haters.
@@chrisglover9700dude you can’t speak common sense to emotional people. Let the damn girl do something in the league and then call her whatever you want. If you say anything negative about this girl you’re hating. Reminds me of Lebron
You have to take and make those shots to get the green light. That being said Clark had the green light before she stepped foot on court for Iowa. It was part of the sales pitch that they were an up-tempo team that would run everything through Clark.
@@TaiyouArt Her pop off is insane. She is amazing at moving away in a wide variety of ways to get her shots off. The idea the WNBA has women that match the people in South Carolina is fine but they aint any better. Clark did her thing against South Carolina.
But apparently " 40% of the 3's" isn't enough to win a championship when a single defensive player can shut your game down when it counts. Also, most coaches know that you can't count on a single player to win a championship.
"14.2 million people watched Caitlin Clark's final game at Iowa setting a record for a woman's game. That was 14.2 million more than the old record." SNL weekend update. 😂
Well she better learn how to win stats with no wins don't cut it in sports. Nobody wants to hear how great you are if you're on the losing team. They shut her down they need to move the ball more. She has the potential to be great time will tell
And the WNBA literally can’t give away enough tickets to fill up arenas in the suburbs with a few thousand seats😂 Their finals games do less numbers than professional darts matches lmao
Seriously Caitlin will make these broads more money by default through being a legit draw. Talk about kicking a gift horse in the mouth for no reason. More proof women legitimately hate women
Did she just say I've never seen anyone with a green light like caitlin before. So that has to mean that caitlin has taken the most shots of anyone in history. What a total lie. She averaged 19 shots per game in her career. Juju averaged 22 her rookie season. This is about color, point blank period.
I'll drive 200 miles to Dallas when Indiana is on town just to see CC play. And I have never been to a WNBA game in my life Nor have I ever watched a whole WNBA game ever.
The ex UConn players really piss me off, yall played for super teams but wanna gatekeep CC from the college GOAT arguments cause she didn’t win a championship? She has to carry a team that is kind of average to back to back natty appearances
Isn't that like 90% of what sports media does in the 21st century? Bully players for their team losing. Not saying thats right its gross tbh but you're acting like this concept is new.
That's actually inaccurate, Stuelke high school all American n top 25 player, Martin, Marshall, Affoltor are four star recruits. Iowa also has a top 20 class coming in 24-25 n a top 10 (as of now) in 25-26 including two five star recruits.
I don't get the Caitlyn Clark hate, she got on off of skill, not her mouth or her sexuality, which is so rare for women. Can't see why it's not celebrated.
It's the Lberal leftist mind set that a White Woman can EVER BE a good as a Black woman. Well ladies, I uspect this young phenom is gonna LITE IT UP and show every single one of you that YOU ARE NOT IN HER LEAGUE. SHE STANDS AMONG THE ELITIST OF THE ELITE'S. And for the simple fact she is WHITE she was left off the Olympic Team..............P-L-E-A-S-E STOP THE BS.
i don't think it's jealousy it's just a black and white thing. why people are looking for the next American hero and the black girls are feeling insulted that they have one titles and their accolades have went unnoticed while pushing a unproven player to the front. i don't think it's hate i think caitlin just has to prove herself in the pros
@@hottrakzThat's ridiculous. There would be an argument if they did this with EVERY white player. Caitlin literally broke NCAA records. Both mal and female. That's far more marketable than anything they have in that league, black, white or whatever....
I guess you could see the future through that bald head of yours give the girl a chance to get in there y'all making her a target let her show improve if she proves that she has it then she gets the credit. Hopefully she plays better then she played this last game
OR maybe their just waiting until she actually demonstrates that she actually is better than them by winning a championship instead of just having good statistics.
@@hottrakz instead of going into every comment thread trying to find new reasons to tear CC down just start a new OP and say the real problem you have with her - shes hwyt. It would save everyone and yourself a lot of time.
@@yashamaga13 why is it that someone has a problem with somebody when they have an opinion don't put that on me the girl has done nothing to nobody accept play basketball I'm just stating the truth I've said nothing against her personally. I don't have to purposely tear her down let the game do the talking obviously it wasn't good enough to win. Blame that little girl who shut her down defensively not me.
@@hottrakz you just said a whole lot of nothing. What's a fact is that a ton of wnba players are bashing her out of 100% jealousy and racism. As far as you go, it's probably the later. If she had a "really deep tan" you would probably not be all over the comments saying what your saying.
I’m not sure how the current WNBA players could be more irrelevant. No one watches their games. That league is only still in existence because the NBA subsidize it. So instead of embracing CC for the eyes she’s bringing, they trash her? Pathetic.
They better hope Caitlyn translates, because people will start to watch WNBA because of her, if she doesn’t translate, WNBA will become irrelevant again.
If she had Caitlin's green light and could shoot like Caitlin, she would have gotten the light. We also would know who she is. I've never heard her name before.
All female players should be praising her, they are probably going to get more visibility from those big companies and possible endorsements. Women sometimes can be very catty.
Caitlin Clark was at first the Canary in the Cultural Mine of WBB, now she is for the entire culture. - She and her coach and teammates did everything the right way. If we can't treat them right and enjoy the excitement and great role modeling they've given us, then we know we've gone further backwards then the time of Tiger Woods - when most of us came together to buoy him past the gatekeepers. - Besides the pettiness of the hive mind following cheap race politics and all, the national championship game was a travesty. One team is completely made up of five star players, they lose five and get five more and then "coach of the year". Nobody but homers is buying it. Five teams have won 70% of all WNCAA championships. The incredible competitive imbalance of player distribution, whether through direct collusion or lack of oversight, destroys the sport. - Clark and Iowa just showed the country that 500% more people want to watch women's basketball, but they want to watch fairly built teams with the best coaching around great talent, not a modern Red Auerbach controlling the recruiting back door. - We are about to see the biggest drop in viewership of any sports league in history. If the WNBA doesn't wake up from being angry and woke they're about to drop the biggest ball that anyone's ever dropped. - Imagine a reality where haters ruled the Magic and Bird story of inspiration.
Wow. Yes well said. They are hurting themselves, hurting the sport, and hurting their culture. Get behind her like people supported Tiger or people will just turn it off
Your statement is false. Coach Staley has been with Carolina for almost 2 decades and she BUILT her 1st championship team(2017) around A'ja Wilson(who's from Hopkins, SC). Her next natty team was recruited("The Freshies") and grew together to win the championship in 2022 as Jrs. The team this year had a few holdovers from that 2022 title team and the 2023 team that lost to Iowa in the tournament. Two of their best recruits are homegrown(Fulwiley & Watkins) just like A'ja, which is just good for ANY coach that can get the talent stay home. Then you build a team thru the portal. Cardoso: transfer, Pao Pao: transfer.. you get the point. Just because you have a great team doesn't mean you can coach them to the championship every time. Look at LSU, UCONN and hell even SC. GO GAMECOCKS!
@@nomadxpert You are talking about Apples and a Royal Banquet. No team, even if the coach stays 50 years, should be able to take the equivalent of 5 first round draft picks. There are 350 teams and LIke I said, only a homer cheers for a broken system that favors themselves. (Bringing up UConn, in the FF again! only makes my point). No one cares. That is why only a few million watch the gatekeeper teams play for a natty and nearly 20 million will watch an organically developed team, with a lot of talent parity, try to win - Because that is sport. - Imagine Milwaukee getting 5 first rounders this year, and next, and next. No one would watch just like no one watched the 60s Celtics. It was not sporting. Go Gamecocks, no one cares - killing the sport.
In 6 WNBA seasons Lexie Brown has averaged double figures once (12.4 PPG last season, 2023) Brown has career averages of 6.1 PPG 1.6 rebounds per game 1.6 assists per game 1 turnover per game Brown is a career 40% shooter from the field and 36% from 3 Brown would be lucky to carry Caitlyn Clark’s bags. All these WNBA “women” (they act more like middle school girls) are so jealous of Clark because they know that, even though Clark is going to grow their league exponentially, it’s likely not going to benefit their generation and it’s going to be the future generation that gets a higher salary, the league getting more attention and the WNBA’s reputation improving. All of that takes time to happen. These haters won’t be around to see it. The NBA equivalent of Lexie Brown is signing for the veteran’s minimum of like $3.5M for a season. Brown has made less than 10 times that in 6 years. These girls are jealous because even though the WNBA salaries range from only $74K-$98K, Clark will make millions on sponsorships alone. Instead of being happy that Caitlyn Clark will uplift their league, they’re all hating because they know it won’t benefit their bottom line, Clark will make millions while these girls will make less than most people make sitting in cubicles. It’s sad really. This will somewhat impede the league growth of the WNBA.
WNBA players really are hostile and delusional. They want a high salary when they can’t even turn a profit, they get angry when you give ideas to try to make their league more exciting (lower the rims) and it’s also hilarious when they think they can beat an NBA player 1v1
@@TaiyouArt the number of assists doesn’t correlate to the quality of passes. Maybe more of a J Kidd or Stockton, like the other commenter said. No Magic, though.
Watching the NCAA tournament, it seemed like half the crowd had her jersey. Not only that, the Holy Cross coach admitted she bought her daughter a Caitlin Clark jersey just before playing Iowa.
@@keiththompson5193 Too bad a ton of WNBA players are too jealous to realize Caitlin has the potential to raise everyone up. More viewers = More money for everyone involved. Looks like the league is full of "what's in it for me right now" sort of women.
I think the owners, and management will let them know, hurt our meal ticket, and you will be gone. Not tell them they can't be aggressive, but they better not hurt her. If they do, Caitlin can always take herself, and her fans, overseas.
I was saying the same thing. The whole wnba will team up against her just to prove their point. They would rather tear her down and keep the league mediocre than to let her shine and bring in millions in viewership. They’re basically saying ‘if WE can’t be the face, no one can’
The machine is a business and has invested in you Lexie. They want a return on their investment. Why would they not want you all to succeed? This is one of the dumbest takes of All Time. 😂
It's pretty sad you say something like that but you clicked on this video, watching and commenting. If womens basketball sucks so much and will always, then go watch an nba video and comment on that. Strange behavior @hottrakz
What the WNBA players should be doing is hyping up their matches against her and hyping her up. That would bring people to WNBA games and might make the league at least somewhat relevant
Hahahah....Make an effort instead of just bitching?!? Stop it... Funny thing is, last year when they were complaining about not being advertised as much as the NBA, out of curiosity, I went to a bunch of their Insta pages and scrolled back to July and only 1 out of the 10 or 12 I looked at had anything posted about the All-Star game... They won't hype up themselves, they ain't never gonna hype up somebody else.
I'll be honest, I don't even watch men's basketball on a regular basis. I'm more interested in watching Caitlin play just to see her shut all the haters down. My point? Even bad publicity is good publicity.
I think the hate from some of these WNBA players needs to stop. if anything they need to embrace the change and just hope that she brings hype to the league just like she did with women’s college.
@@markyg236 here we go with hypotheticals this is what the players are talking about the people who actually did it versus the people who have never. Well when I look at things with my common sense unbiased it actually tells me this someone has a whole lot to prove because the fact not opinion or hate but fat that she couldn't do it on a lower level makes me feel a little skeptical about doing it on a higher level common sense ain't common these days.
WNBA franchises that play the Indiana Fever. "If you build it she will come." Moving to larger arenas because Iowa is coming to Town in the form of Caitlin Clark. For all those who paved the way "Get Ready there's a Train a coming."
When Caitlin Clark joins the WNBA, I'll watch her and the her team. She's an exceptional player. I do not believe I'll watch any other teams as of now. To many of these other women are out and out haters. What little I have seen of the WNBA I'VE seen no one that can hold a candle to C.C., straight up !!!
When Clarke is in the league she will pull the views for her teams games and watch the other teams struggle to pull views unless they go against her team
@@fidgettx You're missing something. But I guess if you're playing for "views" instead of a championship it doesn't matter. Why don't you quote a single example of a player saying that they aren't playing to win a championship but to get "views". That would make your comment credible.
@@Ottovontubes maybe actually think about what I’m saying before just commenting it’s very simple idk how people miss the point. WNBA wants more “money” they need “views”, they know that, they cry for it to be easier to see them play, they cry when they have a golden ticket then shit on the golden ticket. Of course they want championship, but with a championship comes them wanting more money (bonuses) cause they’re the “best” in the sport but they will not receive any “money” if they have no “views” therefore most of the players go onto podcast and advocate on sport news to make the “viewership” increase so they can win “championships” and get more “money” but they need more “views”
Sheryl Swoopes sat on that podcast and straight up lied about Caitlin Clark's number of years played at Iowa, her age, and the number of shots she takes in "every" game. Not one person sitting there or their "fact checkers" in the background called her out in it.
This is actually brilliant. The more they hate on her, the more people will want to tune in to her rookie season, just to see how wrong they are. It's a good strategy to keep interest up. I watched Clark for the last 2 seasons. Don't care what she does in the dumpster league. This kinda makes me want to pay attention
A Super team manufactured South Carolina had 14 Five Star ⭐️ Athletes to play against Caitlin is the only 5 Star Playing for Iowa. Anyone who can obviously see that there was a noticeable difference . And Caitlin Carried her team 2 times. Iowa had only 1 Final 4 appearance in 1993. Along with her scoring record, assists , and increased ratings and sell outs. To hate on her Is just plain stupid. They are biting the hand that will feed them.
@@TaiyouArt it’s called moving the Goal Post and their mind is already made up. I believe she will do amazing in the WNBA she will have teammates with similar talent. That’s why the vets are fearful and jealous
@@hottrakz to compare her to Lebrun that is an insult . She is more like Larry Bird he did not win a Natty either. He was told he wasn’t good enough either having taken Indiana State to the championship. And Caitlin with Iowa did it twice. Nobody expected them to get through SC last year and LSU UCONN this year. Caitlin will win championships and she will even grow even more popular globally. Mostly she is breaking down barriers showing girls they can be just like her all across America. If you hate it now 5- 10 years from now it will completely change
@@leroywicks3277 the problem here is nobody's hating you are talking about hypotheticals and wishful thinking things as a fan that you would like to happen you said nothing that was actual fact, you are speaking from a fans point of view nobody ever hated on her nor do I want her to fail but we can't crown someone who hasn't done it yet she has to show and prove like everyone else has to show improve in sports sorry to break that to you the fans are gonna be the only people who gives people anything. Caitlin has an influence because she is generating viewers and is good for the league financially which will influence whistles to go her way but she still has to put that work in play hard and produce results which can happen but has not happened yet the girl has only practiced three or four times give it a chance to unfold, you're take may come true or it may result in her being a bust only time will tell.
Hopefully these women see the opportunity to help the league grow into what it’s supposed to be. This generation of new players are special and they are coming at a time of change.
Interesting that you have a picture of Plum on your screen right before saying there isn't a big jump in talent from college to the WNBA. Than why did Plum go from 32 points per game her senior season to single digit points per game her first 3 years in the WNBA?..
Those crybabies seem to think jealousy will get them somewhere. Free air time showing what airheads they are isn't smart, but whoever said they are the brightest bulb in the building?
They are made because no one cared to watch them play and people do want to watch this girl play. They can't take the fact that their game is not going to be popular unless NEW talent comes in to replace them. Truth hurts.
Jealousy and not comprehending the big picture will be the reason the wnba players fumble the bag coming their way. Whatever team drafts caitlin clark will have to build their team around her. While she is the hottest ticket around she will fill seats.
I think people are just taking offense to someone getting these high praises in heaven play the minute in the league yet give her a chance to earn the respect it's not hate
@@hottrakzbut the men never talk like this. They just don't. Was anyone hating on zion Williams? They were all excited and welcomed him. The only time I've seen hate in this way was lonzo ball. But that's because his dad made him a target with his big mouth. That's my 2 cents
@@joketsu100 nobody never called Zion the goat it was all about his potential they already have literally put a crown on this woman's head. And you are correct things get difficult when you put a target on someone's head which is how they are doing with Caitlin Clark. I wish her well I don't doubt or think her game will transition I just want to see her show improve. I want to see her sink or swim I personally I'm not into giving premature credit to anyone this is a sport and you have to work hard for everything. She deserves praise for what she has done so far now let's see if she is worthy of the praise as a professional .
Michael Jordan is every basketball player’s goal (man or woman)….Michael Jordan won his NCAA Basketball Championship Title in 1982, but Michael Jordan became the GOAT when he got to the professional level. Michael Jordan is the GOAT! 🐐
@grahamchan6327 That's your argument? Isaiah was great when he had his bullies. Once MJ figured it out he never lost to Zeek again. Bird had an all time great cast. Once Jordan had Pippen at an all star level it was over for the league.
I've never been interested in the WNBA in my entire life. Not even mildly interested. I'm genuinely interested now because of Caitlin Clark. Other WNBA players should be grateful because she can (and already has started to) be the one to put women's basketball on the map. It has nothing to do with the machine marketing her (as if it's the music industry or something, like she's Taylor Swift when there's so many better artists/better music being made), she's just a transcendent athlete.
On social media i see Caitlin Clark training videos. Angel Reese on the other hand making tik tok videos showing her behind and being jealous of Caitlin.
@@mrstillhungry She might not get a roster spot if things don't turn her way. She's not able to space the floor for a WNBA player, and lacks the interior size for a center. Cameron Brink might become a bust too, since she's not bulky/ big enough with the current NCAA centers, but if she becomes a 4, she's more likely to contribute. I think there are only like 4 to 5 safe bets for teams to keep their drafted players. Clark's team needs a PG and she's the only natural passing/ scoring PG that has that experience. Cordosa will definitely get playing time at center. Edwards has experience, and a couple more might be able to break the mold for their scoring potential and defensive contributions. The other players just can't score enough or do not have the experience to play the natural positions they will have in the WNBA since they didn't play those same spots in college. Most WNBA is played with post-play and have like that older style of NBA play where size is more important. Especially since most teams shoot under 40% from the floor, like the leading scorer, as an example.
@@lamargettens2370 Yeah, she shot some shots a couple days before the draft. I don't think that helps someone get drafted. We aren't impressed by Ben Simmons doing summer videos anymore. Most people have gotten wise to that and will decide on the results in the training camp. Cordoza's stock rose cause she delivered in the NCAA tournament. Angel's performance in her current run showed that the shots weren't there and this isn't a good look for someone drafting her--even though she's great at rebounding. People can't play her as an undersized center, so they need her to have more range on the floor since most people have their 4 spaced a little more out there. We haven't seen Angel perform that way, so it's not expected she has that available on DAY ONE, so she'd need a lot of time to add it. Who knows how many months or years it takes to have the ability to shoot those shots in an actual game reliably... WNBA average height is 6-2, so she's losing her advantage in college against professionals like Aja and others that wouldn't really have an issue in those situations.
You are getting very offended by what others are saying. Time will tell. Kelsey Plum struggled Chamique Holdsclaw struggled. WNBA women struggle than NBA players because there is only 120 players. Most of the girls coming out get cut. Not saying that she will be cut, but she will have her struggles. Defense that picks her up early, as did South Carolina, runs her off the 3 point line and speeds her up causes problems. She will probably figure it out.
Jealousy. That’s all this is. The women taking these shots at Clark have been brainwashed by Marxist ideologues who just want to create dissension. Sadly, if Clark was black there wouldn’t be this kind of negative reaction. These woman are childish ingrates too arrogant to care about the game they supposedly love. Why not embrace Clark and see if she can lift the sport. if she flops so be it. But give her the credit she deserves for what she’s already done. Bird and Johnson lifted the NBA. If they won’t let won’t Clark do it out of sheer jealousy, then that’s on them.
The level of ego from the players in this league is insane. All of it undeserved for the level of notoriety the WNBA garners. One of the few sports leagues where if people aren't talking down about it it's not getting talked about. The last time people cared about the WNBA in any major capacity before Clark it was about Brittney Griners prison term in Russia.
I get she could shoot, but we gotta stop with the disrespect of professional athletes. Rather male or female. The pro level is totally different. They dont call them pros cause they get paid contracts. The crazy thing about it is, she could get washed out. Players doubleling her, picking her up full court. Hell her own team could freeze her out in fear of losing their spot.
I watched the whole Gil episode and I wouldn’t say she was hating. She said that CC was fortunate that Iowa left her be her and take that many shots. Said she was a generational shooter talent and that she hoped that the W would improve w her in it. She did a pretty good job explaining DT’s comments on CC that made sense to me. It is definitely true that some of the retired players are super salty and racist abt CC tho.
Is anyone honestly surprised that the first time we see a female basketball player that could really boost interest in the game and take it to that next level in terms of popularity, all the other women players are trying to tear her down? Didn’t Bill Burr just talk about this 😂
I mean some of the great players of the 80s didn't like the attention MJ was getting before playing an NBA game. Isiah Thomas was probably the most well known. Wilt also took a shot at MJ back in the 90s to suggest he was greater because the league made rules to make it harder for Wilt, but also made rules to make it easier on MJ.
Whatever team she goes to will have to build around her and the way she plays as her college team has or her talents will be wasted. Hopefully older teammates will swallow their pride knowing she's the star and will help them advance. Good luck.
Players like Caitlin and Steph earned the "shoot from anywhere" green light. There aren't many players with that level of freedom because there aren't that many players with that level of shot-making. To imply that Caitlin's stats come from the freedom is putting the cart before the horse. In other words, Lexi is hating.
WNBA has a great game to watch, I think, with the passing, and now some great shooters. But their entitled attitude is killing them. Do they know that Jerry West and Elgin Baylor of the Lakers used to go around on weekends and make mall appearances for a couple hundred bucks? I know the guy who drove them. You need to be liked to get followed. And to be liked, be likeable. I'm guessing most of the WNBA players are, but the ones they have representing them often aren't
This is kinda like when Tiger Woods was on top. People watched because of him. when he was on the leader board ratings went through the roof. When he wasn't even in a tournament they went way down.
Honestly, you know what would be fun? Just draft Caitlin Clark into the NBA and have her be a decent shooter there. With how the WNBA's standard FG% she might be too good for them. That would take a direct shit on a lot of the WNBA players demanding equality in pay but not actually going for real equality.
The reason no one goes for this is because most female athletes would be out of sports and the few who weren't would have a signifigantly reduced role just to prove a point. Clark could be an NBA player but she'd be undermining the very existence of the WNBA if she did that.
@@ransom6892 yeah, the ball is bigger, the opponent are way bigger, faster, and more athletic. There is a real smart reason why the divisions are different. Clark will be fine in the WBNA if she can keep those numbers, but in the NBA she probably wouldnt even start in the G-League.
She would get trashed in the nba. Everyone is bigger, stronger, quicker, and faster with higher verticals. A middle of the pack g-leaguer would average 40 in the wnba.
Lexi Brown of the Sparks is a journeyman who has played on FOUR teams in 6 years and is a "career" 6 PPG "player"....In fact, she's had 2 seasons where she averaged 1.4 and 1.6 PPG respectively.....NUFF SAID.....
You guys are going to milk Cailyn Clarks name for every view you can get? Some of the Cavs vets including Darius Miles were saying the same thing about LeBron. But in our current state of decay everything is about race or gender.
People want to be entertained. People will tune in. You'll see. As long as she keeps up the way she's playing, people will come to watch and turn on their TV. I know I will

[Thanks for not using the background music :D ] CC can consistently make the NBA 3 better than most wnba players can make the wnba 3. This spreads the floor, which obviously creates more space for her teammates. There are already a lot of wide open 3s attempted in the wnba, CC will have a feast after a while, especially late in the game with tired defense.
It wasn't the media that broke 45 records. It wasn't the media that made me watch all the games after I saw her play once. Was it the media that made you a hater or was it your parents?
Every WNBA player is a flawed player. There’s no one in the WNBA that has her range and ease of shooting. She’ll also get better when basketball is her job and she’s not worrying about classes and grades while getting better coaching and training.
I'll never understand WHY these players are so SET AGAINST someone bringing eyeballs (in turn money) to their sport? Are they just jealous of her talent? Are they that racist? Or do they not like her cause she's straight? Any of these reasons are the reason the WNBA is failing. Him telling her that DT hasn't moved the needle, and her not wanting to hear it is the problem. She doesn't want to admit that if it wasn't for the NBA paying child support, they would be working in factories right now. Or door dashing, or whatever. Cause they wouldn't have a league. Now, you have someone who's gonna being MEGA BUCKS into the league, which in turn increases players contracts, and they're doing everything they can to try and belittle it!!! Thats the true WOKE idealogy coming through. You better look like us, talk like us, believe in what we believe, have the same partner orientation as us, and practice the same non religion as us!! If you don't meet ALL of these requirements, you are now and forever SHUNNED!! Tell me I'm wrong about the WNBA when it comes to this!!!
This is a really silly argument. This isn't the NBA we are talking about. These WNBA players aren't set for life and are constantly playing for their next contract. Basketball is also their life. To say that they are lazy is asinine.
The "machine" is quite frankly a different beast today than it was in the past. CC is being promoted and talked about in spaces that are being seen by tens of millions of people. Not hard to understand how that might help someone's popularity. Comparing that to women's basketball being occasionally brought up on television is quite a bit different.
There is nothing to transition into the WNBA is so bad and the talent is so bad that Caitlyn Clark is already better than any current WNBA player. Caitlin is worth watching the woman in the WNBA are not.
It almost seems that they are upset that she is popular not because she is good. This is the first time I've ever heard a WNBA being hyped for her ability. Anytime I hear about a WNBA it's usually about them complaining about not getting paid. All i hear when people talk about Caitlin Clark is how great she is at the sport and I'm thinking that it's rubbing other WNBA players jealous and green with envy.
I'm a woman, and I love women I love people, but women love to hate other women. Some of us get jealous when other women have all the attention. It's just how we are wired. Probably for an evolutionary reason
What seems to get lost here is that she is also an academic, she has other options. CC should stay in college another year, bank in more NiL and shock everyone with that middle finger and go to med school
Lol all these comments talking about women hating on other women, they probably got it from watching men like lebron throw every team mate he ever had under the bus smh
People just want to see how Caitlin Clark does in general. Not against any particular player. There is no Taurasi vs Clark that being anticipated. So there's not much there to be marketed in that. And her stats are reflecting her age. What's going to happen if it does come to a Taurasi/Clark matchup? They probably won't have her guarding Clark. Because if you look, the most steals and blocks Taurasi has ever had (since she's a guard she's not going to be looked at for blocks, but still it's telling about her ability to be quick and defend), were her first two years in the league. 40 year old Taurasi against fresh Clark. I don't think that's a matchup Taurasi wants.
Dude you guys keep hiding the most important facts, Caitlin has Zero Championships or National Titles like all the other Great WNBA players, with the NIL and transfer portal you can't use the excuse that she didn't have any help
what happened to competition ,,, are these pros supposed to bow down to a rookie ,,, Caitlin prove em wrong and shut them up,, couldnt beat college girls when it counted ,,,,,,tell pros to sit back and watch you chuck up threes with NO rings ,, if Jordan and Kobe could get hated on as rookies,, they still saying Jordan couldnt go left and he been retired for 30 yrs ,,,,,,,, Caitlin prove em wrong
What made Bird fantastic is he could shoot, and his IQ was off the charts. He was slow and couldn't jump. Same with Clark. She can shoot and has a high IQ. What gets left off is she is top 5 in assists all time too.
Both things can be true, she IS hating on Caitlin and NO ONE has had the greenlight and offensive autonomy as Caitlin. (Lexi was NEVER allowed to shoot and monopolize the ball at Duke, Maya was at UConn, Breanna at UConn, Sheryl Swoopes could've dropped 40 agame for 2 years at Texas Tech, Chimiqua Holdsclaw, Tamika Catchings and Candace Parker went to Tennessee and played for Pat, they were COMPLETELY capable of doing 30-35 a game but they played at TENNESSEE! Heck, if all South Carolina did was give the ball to Aj'a, she would've averaged 30-35 piints and 20 rebounds.but, it's South Carolina and Dawn Staley. Sheryl Swoopes could've easily been doing Caitlin numbers at Texas Tech, EASILY, AND she had that type of range. But they didn't allow her to just completely monopolize the the ball being the only Blavk girl on a White team on the panhandle in West Texas
YYYEEEESSSSSSS….MOST LOGIC HERE!!!!!! Let’s go a lil deeper…1993 Swoops took a team MUCH LIKE IOWA to the Finals and WON scoring 47 EFFICIENT POINTS she did it all…blocks…steals…rebounds…showed up on the big stage…that’s what a goat does THESE NEW FANS ARE RUNNING TO THESE COMMENTS WITH DELUSIONS AND IGNORANCE…there are more than a few female ballers that have/had the talent and ability to have the numbers CC had but it wasn’t conducive to their team’s style of play or coach’s standards….THOSE COACHES WANT CHAMPIONSHIPS NOT INDIVIDUAL RECORDS
Shout out to Erica Wheeler from the Indiana Fever. She was on twitter being so pumped when Caitlin announced she was going to the draft. She was not jealous, even called Caitlin "Baby Goat". That made me smile. Not all are haters.
It's cause she gonna be her teammate.
You won't see that hate when the person is coming to your team.
@@chrisglover9700dude you can’t speak common sense to emotional people. Let the damn girl do something in the league and then call her whatever you want. If you say anything negative about this girl you’re hating. Reminds me of Lebron
@@HanddownmandownchiSo it’s hating if you say Caitlin Clark is a great player?
@@Handdownmandownchi right that's awesome she gave Caitlin shine
Caitlin's floor vision and passing ability will elevate her teammates game. There will be a learning curve but she's up for it.
If Lexie could hit 40% of the 3's that Clark is taking, pretty sure the coach would give her a green light.
She’s undersized and can’t get off like Clark. Clark has a super quick release same as Curry .27 seconds. Can’t block it
You have to take and make those shots to get the green light. That being said Clark had the green light before she stepped foot on court for Iowa. It was part of the sales pitch that they were an up-tempo team that would run everything through Clark.
@@TaiyouArt Her pop off is insane. She is amazing at moving away in a wide variety of ways to get her shots off. The idea the WNBA has women that match the people in South Carolina is fine but they aint any better. Clark did her thing against South Carolina.
But apparently " 40% of the 3's" isn't enough to win a championship when a single defensive player can shut your game down when it counts. Also, most coaches know that you can't count on a single player to win a championship.
@@Ottovontubes be careful you're gonna be called a hater for telling the truth
"14.2 million people watched Caitlin Clark's final game at Iowa setting a record for a woman's game. That was 14.2 million more than the old record." SNL weekend update. 😂
18.7 million for the final. Iowa also had at least 17,000 watching their practice.
Well she better learn how to win stats with no wins don't cut it in sports. Nobody wants to hear how great you are if you're on the losing team. They shut her down they need to move the ball more. She has the potential to be great time will tell

Did she just say I've never seen anyone with a green light like caitlin before. So that has to mean that caitlin has taken the most shots of anyone in history. What a total lie. She averaged 19 shots per game in her career. Juju averaged 22 her rookie season. This is about color, point blank period.

The ex UConn players really piss me off, yall played for super teams but wanna gatekeep CC from the college GOAT arguments cause she didn’t win a championship? She has to carry a team that is kind of average to back to back natty appearances
Exactly. UConn gets 5 high school all Americans every year.
Iowa gets 0. This lady is the real deal
it’s the lebron treatment. i don’t understand why she can’t get credit for leading Iowa that far even as vegas underdogs
Facts
Isn't that like 90% of what sports media does in the 21st century? Bully players for their team losing. Not saying thats right its gross tbh but you're acting like this concept is new.
That's actually inaccurate, Stuelke high school all American n top 25 player, Martin, Marshall, Affoltor are four star recruits. Iowa also has a top 20 class coming in 24-25 n a top 10 (as of now) in 25-26 including two five star recruits.
I don't get the Caitlyn Clark hate, she got on off of skill, not her mouth or her sexuality, which is so rare for women. Can't see why it's not celebrated.
Women hate other women, and that will never change.😢
Because it's a black and white thing. They are scared that a white girl is going to come in and actually play b-ball
IT'S YOU PEOPLE WHO HATE, DEATH THREATS, BEING HYPOCRITES, OBSESSED OVER CAITLIN CLARK. NO IT'S YOU WHO ARE THE HATERS.
It's the Lberal leftist mind set that a White Woman can EVER BE a good as a Black woman. Well ladies, I uspect this young phenom is gonna LITE IT UP and show every single one of you that YOU ARE NOT IN HER LEAGUE. SHE STANDS AMONG THE ELITIST OF THE ELITE'S. And for the simple fact she is WHITE she was left off the Olympic Team..............P-L-E-A-S-E STOP THE BS.
Jealously is never a good look
i don't think it's jealousy it's just a black and white thing. why people are looking for the next American hero and the black girls are feeling insulted that they have one titles and their accolades have went unnoticed while pushing a unproven player to the front. i don't think it's hate i think caitlin just has to prove herself in the pros
@@hottrakzThat's ridiculous. There would be an argument if they did this with EVERY white player. Caitlin literally broke NCAA records. Both mal and female. That's far more marketable than anything they have in that league, black, white or whatever....
@@hottrakz It's without a doubt a whole lot of jealousy and a bunch of racism.
They are all so jealous of a baller who is better than they will ever be.
I guess you could see the future through that bald head of yours give the girl a chance to get in there y'all making her a target let her show improve if she proves that she has it then she gets the credit. Hopefully she plays better then she played this last game
OR maybe their just waiting until she actually demonstrates that she actually is better than them by winning a championship instead of just having good statistics.
@@hottrakz instead of going into every comment thread trying to find new reasons to tear CC down just start a new OP and say the real problem you have with her - shes hwyt. It would save everyone and yourself a lot of time.

@@hottrakz you just said a whole lot of nothing.
What's a fact is that a ton of wnba players are bashing her out of 100% jealousy and racism. As far as you go, it's probably the later. If she had a "really deep tan" you would probably not be all over the comments saying what your saying.

I’m not sure how the current WNBA players could be more irrelevant. No one watches their games. That league is only still in existence because the NBA subsidize it. So instead of embracing CC for the eyes she’s bringing, they trash her? Pathetic.
That's how being famous works people are gonna hate. cry for Caitlin harder
@@cobainxxx2142 no ones crying. Just stating cold hard facts. Just a bunch of bitter women that were never good enough to bring in the bucks.
They better hope Caitlyn translates, because people will start to watch WNBA because of her, if she doesn’t translate, WNBA will become irrelevant again.
If she had Caitlin's green light and could shoot like Caitlin, she would have gotten the light. We also would know who she is. I've never heard her name before.

Cat fight
All female players should be praising her, they are probably going to get more visibility from those big companies and possible endorsements. Women sometimes can be very catty.
I remember Phil Mickelson saying he made way more money cause of Tiger woods than he would have otherwise
Caitlin Clark was at first the Canary in the Cultural Mine of WBB, now she is for the entire culture.
- She and her coach and teammates did everything the right way. If we can't treat them right and enjoy the excitement and great role modeling they've given us, then we know we've gone further backwards then the time of Tiger Woods - when most of us came together to buoy him past the gatekeepers.
- Besides the pettiness of the hive mind following cheap race politics and all, the national championship game was a travesty. One team is completely made up of five star players, they lose five and get five more and then "coach of the year". Nobody but homers is buying it. Five teams have won 70% of all WNCAA championships. The incredible competitive imbalance of player distribution, whether through direct collusion or lack of oversight, destroys the sport.
- Clark and Iowa just showed the country that 500% more people want to watch women's basketball, but they want to watch fairly built teams with the best coaching around great talent, not a modern Red Auerbach controlling the recruiting back door.
- We are about to see the biggest drop in viewership of any sports league in history. If the WNBA doesn't wake up from being angry and woke they're about to drop the biggest ball that anyone's ever dropped.
- Imagine a reality where haters ruled the Magic and Bird story of inspiration.
Wow. Yes well said. They are hurting themselves, hurting the sport, and hurting their culture. Get behind her like people supported Tiger or people will just turn it off
"And she going take that shit" fucking gross.
Your statement is false. Coach Staley has been with Carolina for almost 2 decades and she BUILT her 1st championship team(2017) around A'ja Wilson(who's from Hopkins, SC). Her next natty team was recruited("The Freshies") and grew together to win the championship in 2022 as Jrs. The team this year had a few holdovers from that 2022 title team and the 2023 team that lost to Iowa in the tournament. Two of their best recruits are homegrown(Fulwiley & Watkins) just like A'ja, which is just good for ANY coach that can get the talent stay home. Then you build a team thru the portal. Cardoso: transfer, Pao Pao: transfer.. you get the point.
Just because you have a great team doesn't mean you can coach them to the championship every time. Look at LSU, UCONN and hell even SC.
GO GAMECOCKS!
@@nomadxpert You are talking about Apples and a Royal Banquet. No team, even if the coach stays 50 years, should be able to take the equivalent of 5 first round draft picks. There are 350 teams and LIke I said, only a homer cheers for a broken system that favors themselves. (Bringing up UConn, in the FF again! only makes my point). No one cares. That is why only a few million watch the gatekeeper teams play for a natty and nearly 20 million will watch an organically developed team, with a lot of talent parity, try to win - Because that is sport.
- Imagine Milwaukee getting 5 first rounders this year, and next, and next. No one would watch just like no one watched the 60s Celtics. It was not sporting.
Go Gamecocks, no one cares - killing the sport.
@@nomadxpert coincidentally Red Auerbach was a coach for at least 20 years before he cornered the talent market and nearly destroyed the NBA.
If I'm Clark, i would play elsewhere like Europe or Australia instead of a dump toxic culture infested at WNBA.
The league is 98% queer
I understand, but Caitlyn must believe she can make a difference.
@@Zerox_Prime i believe in her. I may not see a WNBA whole game but the highlights on YT, that's the only limited time I can give.
I do kinda wish she'd taken Cube's contract to play in Big 3.
In 6 WNBA seasons Lexie Brown has averaged double figures once (12.4 PPG last season, 2023)
Brown has career averages of 6.1 PPG 1.6 rebounds per game 1.6 assists per game 1 turnover per game
Brown is a career 40% shooter from the field and 36% from 3
Brown would be lucky to carry Caitlyn Clark’s bags.
All these WNBA “women” (they act more like middle school girls) are so jealous of Clark because they know that, even though Clark is going to grow their league exponentially, it’s likely not going to benefit their generation and it’s going to be the future generation that gets a higher salary, the league getting more attention and the WNBA’s reputation improving. All of that takes time to happen. These haters won’t be around to see it.
The NBA equivalent of Lexie Brown is signing for the veteran’s minimum of like $3.5M for a season. Brown has made less than 10 times that in 6 years.
These girls are jealous because even though the WNBA salaries range from only $74K-$98K, Clark will make millions on sponsorships alone.
Instead of being happy that Caitlyn Clark will uplift their league, they’re all hating because they know it won’t benefit their bottom line, Clark will make millions while these girls will make less than most people make sitting in cubicles.
It’s sad really. This will somewhat impede the league growth of the WNBA.
WNBA players really are hostile and delusional. They want a high salary when they can’t even turn a profit, they get angry when you give ideas to try to make their league more exciting (lower the rims) and it’s also hilarious when they think they can beat an NBA player 1v1
if they fumble Caitlin Clark because of the woke agenda then the WNBA needs to be SHUT DOWN!!!
DDDAAAMMM THAT IS THE GOD HONEST. I WAS THING THE EXACT SAME BUT WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE RIGHT TO SAY IT WITHOUT OFFENDING.

Caitlin isn't anything special she literally just shoots good no defense or anything she will get smoked by the wnba physicality
@cobainxxx2142 what physicality 😅
What the WNBA players should be doing is hyping up their matches against her and hyping her up.
That would bring people to WNBA games and might make the league at least somewhat relevant
Yup exactly. They are idiots.
Hahahah....Make an effort instead of just bitching?!? Stop it...
Funny thing is, last year when they were complaining about not being advertised as much as the NBA, out of curiosity, I went to a bunch of their Insta pages and scrolled back to July and only 1 out of the 10 or 12 I looked at had anything posted about the All-Star game...
They won't hype up themselves, they ain't never gonna hype up somebody else.
You mean actually promoting a player that has a chance to have your league succeed instead of hating on them?
I'll be honest, I don't even watch men's basketball on a regular basis. I'm more interested in watching Caitlin play just to see her shut all the haters down. My point? Even bad publicity is good publicity.
I think the hate from some of these WNBA players needs to stop. if anything they need to embrace the change and just hope that she brings hype to the league just like she did with women’s college.

@@Ottovontubes you think championships matter more than views that make them more money? Or am I missing something you’re applying?
@@fidgettx You're missing something. But I guess if you're playing for "views" instead of a championship it doesn't matter. Why don't you quote a single example of a player saying that they aren't playing to win a championship but to get "views". That would make your comment credible.
@@Ottovontubes maybe actually think about what I’m saying before just commenting it’s very simple idk how people miss the point. WNBA wants more “money” they need “views”, they know that, they cry for it to be easier to see them play, they cry when they have a golden ticket then shit on the golden ticket. Of course they want championship, but with a championship comes them wanting more money (bonuses) cause they’re the “best” in the sport but they will not receive any “money” if they have no “views” therefore most of the players go onto podcast and advocate on sport news to make the “viewership” increase so they can win “championships” and get more “money” but they need more “views”
Don’t see her shooting 20 threes a game in the pros. She didn’t do that in college. She’s gonna be fine.

This is actually brilliant. The more they hate on her, the more people will want to tune in to her rookie season, just to see how wrong they are. It's a good strategy to keep interest up. I watched Clark for the last 2 seasons. Don't care what she does in the dumpster league. This kinda makes me want to pay attention
Right it actually helps the WNBA
She's so salty that nobody's talking about her 😆😂🤣
A Super team manufactured South Carolina had 14 Five Star ⭐️ Athletes to play against Caitlin is the only 5 Star Playing for Iowa. Anyone who can obviously see that there was a noticeable difference . And Caitlin Carried her team 2 times. Iowa had only 1 Final 4 appearance in 1993. Along with her scoring record, assists , and increased ratings and sell outs. To hate on her Is just plain stupid. They are biting the hand that will feed them.

Caitlin has an influence because she is generating viewers and is good for the league financially which will influence whistles to go her way but she still has to put that work in play hard and produce results which can happen but has not happened yet the girl has only practiced three or four times give it a chance to unfold, you're take may come true or it may result in her being a bust only time will tell.
Hopefully these women see the opportunity to help the league grow into what it’s supposed to be. This generation of new players are special and they are coming at a time of change.

@@joketsu100 nobody never called Zion the goat it was all about his potential they already have literally put a crown on this woman's head. And you are correct things get difficult when you put a target on someone's head which is how they are doing with Caitlin Clark. I wish her well I don't doubt or think her game will transition I just want to see her show improve. I want to see her sink or swim I personally I'm not into giving premature credit to anyone this is a sport and you have to work hard for everything. She deserves praise for what she has done so far now let's see if she is worthy of the praise as a professional .
@@hottrakz they did the same for lebron coming out of high school. They crowned him over Melo who won a title at Syracuse that year.
Michael Jordan is every basketball player’s goal (man or woman)….Michael Jordan won his NCAA Basketball Championship Title in 1982, but Michael Jordan became the GOAT when he got to the professional level. Michael Jordan is the GOAT! 🐐
Young people have the attention span of goldfish.
Don't forget about Kareem
Larry legend spanked Jordan...so did asaiah Thomas ...
Bird 6 =0 Jordan...
You’re forgetting the olympic games sessions where he embarrassed the pros BEFORE he entered to league
@grahamchan6327 That's your argument? Isaiah was great when he had his bullies. Once MJ figured it out he never lost to Zeek again. Bird had an all time great cast. Once Jordan had Pippen at an all star level it was over for the league.
I've never been interested in the WNBA in my entire life. Not even mildly interested. I'm genuinely interested now because of Caitlin Clark. Other WNBA players should be grateful because she can (and already has started to) be the one to put women's basketball on the map. It has nothing to do with the machine marketing her (as if it's the music industry or something, like she's Taylor Swift when there's so many better artists/better music being made), she's just a transcendent athlete.
This content is so fire!! Totally agree! Keep it up.
Can't understand the hate for someone who's gonna bring more eyes to your product.
Just hating because she has the most attention ever..
Wow... JEALOUS... That number 4 on the sparks is comparing herself to Caitlin Clark?...😮😅😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jealousy is not a virtue
I watched just one Caitlin Clark game, and never say another basketball player, male or female, with her vision, leadership and ability.
On social media i see Caitlin Clark training videos. Angel Reese on the other hand making tik tok videos showing her behind and being jealous of Caitlin.
Angel show off her NCAA Ring💍👸🏾
@@mrstillhungry while twerking in the bathroom as she does her hair.
@@mrstillhungry She might not get a roster spot if things don't turn her way. She's not able to space the floor for a WNBA player, and lacks the interior size for a center.
Cameron Brink might become a bust too, since she's not bulky/ big enough with the current NCAA centers, but if she becomes a 4, she's more likely to contribute.
I think there are only like 4 to 5 safe bets for teams to keep their drafted players. Clark's team needs a PG and she's the only natural passing/ scoring PG that has that experience. Cordosa will definitely get playing time at center. Edwards has experience, and a couple more might be able to break the mold for their scoring potential and defensive contributions.
The other players just can't score enough or do not have the experience to play the natural positions they will have in the WNBA since they didn't play those same spots in college.
Most WNBA is played with post-play and have like that older style of NBA play where size is more important. Especially since most teams shoot under 40% from the floor, like the leading scorer, as an example.
Angel got videos of her putting in work you just chose the easy option to down play one player to big up another one
@@lamargettens2370 Yeah, she shot some shots a couple days before the draft.
I don't think that helps someone get drafted. We aren't impressed by Ben Simmons doing summer videos anymore. Most people have gotten wise to that and will decide on the results in the training camp.
Cordoza's stock rose cause she delivered in the NCAA tournament. Angel's performance in her current run showed that the shots weren't there and this isn't a good look for someone drafting her--even though she's great at rebounding. People can't play her as an undersized center, so they need her to have more range on the floor since most people have their 4 spaced a little more out there. We haven't seen Angel perform that way, so it's not expected she has that available on DAY ONE, so she'd need a lot of time to add it.
Who knows how many months or years it takes to have the ability to shoot those shots in an actual game reliably... WNBA average height is 6-2, so she's losing her advantage in college against professionals like Aja and others that wouldn't really have an issue in those situations.
She HERSELF made Iowa Women's Basketball RELEVANT. She can do it all, and will.
You are getting very offended by what others are saying. Time will tell. Kelsey Plum struggled Chamique Holdsclaw struggled. WNBA women struggle than NBA players because there is only 120 players. Most of the girls coming out get cut. Not saying that she will be cut, but she will have her struggles. Defense that picks her up early, as did South Carolina, runs her off the 3 point line and speeds her up causes problems. She will probably figure it out.
Jealousy. That’s all this is. The women taking these shots at Clark have been brainwashed by Marxist ideologues who just want to create dissension. Sadly, if Clark was black there wouldn’t be this kind of negative reaction. These woman are childish ingrates too arrogant to care about the game they supposedly love. Why not embrace Clark and see if she can lift the sport. if she flops so be it. But give her the credit she deserves for what she’s already done. Bird and Johnson lifted the NBA. If they won’t let won’t Clark do it out of sheer jealousy, then that’s on them.
Women hate other women.
The level of ego from the players in this league is insane. All of it undeserved for the level of notoriety the WNBA garners. One of the few sports leagues where if people aren't talking down about it it's not getting talked about. The last time people cared about the WNBA in any major capacity before Clark it was about Brittney Griners prison term in Russia.
I get she could shoot, but we gotta stop with the disrespect of professional athletes. Rather male or female. The pro level is totally different. They dont call them pros cause they get paid contracts. The crazy thing about it is, she could get washed out. Players doubleling her, picking her up full court. Hell her own team could freeze her out in fear of losing their spot.
the only good thing about that Gilbert Arenas clip was that he was rocking the new Italty Euro 2024 away jersey🔥🔥
I watched the whole Gil episode and
I wouldn’t say she was hating. She said that CC was fortunate that Iowa left her be her and take that many shots. Said she was a generational shooter talent and that she hoped that the W would improve w her in it. She did a pretty good job explaining DT’s comments on CC that made sense to me. It is definitely true that some of the retired players are super salty and racist abt CC tho.
Thank you it’s easy to hear what you wanna hear but not listen to what’s said
can't wait for CC to shred the WNBA
Is anyone honestly surprised that the first time we see a female basketball player that could really boost interest in the game and take it to that next level in terms of popularity, all the other women players are trying to tear her down? Didn’t Bill Burr just talk about this 😂
this is crazy
imagine wilt chamberlain or bill russell shitting on micheal jordan when he was in college
this is what we are seeing
I mean some of the great players of the 80s didn't like the attention MJ was getting before playing an NBA game. Isiah Thomas was probably the most well known. Wilt also took a shot at MJ back in the 90s to suggest he was greater because the league made rules to make it harder for Wilt, but also made rules to make it easier on MJ.
Whatever team she goes to will have to build around her and the way she plays as her college team has or her talents will be wasted. Hopefully older teammates will swallow their pride knowing she's the star and will help them advance. Good luck.
Why would she be the star over her teammates! The fever have Aaliyah Boston
Players like Caitlin and Steph earned the "shoot from anywhere" green light. There aren't many players with that level of freedom because there aren't that many players with that level of shot-making. To imply that Caitlin's stats come from the freedom is putting the cart before the horse. In other words, Lexi is hating.
WNBA has a great game to watch, I think, with the passing, and now some great shooters. But their entitled attitude is killing them. Do they know that Jerry West and Elgin Baylor of the Lakers used to go around on weekends and make mall appearances for a couple hundred bucks? I know the guy who drove them. You need to be liked to get followed. And to be liked, be likeable. I'm guessing most of the WNBA players are, but the ones they have representing them often aren't
Marketing is marketing
This is kinda like when Tiger Woods was on top. People watched because of him. when he was on the leader board ratings went through the roof. When he wasn't even in a tournament they went way down.
Honestly, you know what would be fun? Just draft Caitlin Clark into the NBA and have her be a decent shooter there. With how the WNBA's standard FG% she might be too good for them. That would take a direct shit on a lot of the WNBA players demanding equality in pay but not actually going for real equality.
I like Clark, but playing against men, you may be giving her too much credit.
The reason no one goes for this is because most female athletes would be out of sports and the few who weren't would have a signifigantly reduced role just to prove a point. Clark could be an NBA player but she'd be undermining the very existence of the WNBA if she did that.
People have said that multiple times
@@ransom6892 yeah, the ball is bigger, the opponent are way bigger, faster, and more athletic. There is a real smart reason why the divisions are different. Clark will be fine in the WBNA if she can keep those numbers, but in the NBA she probably wouldnt even start in the G-League.
She would get trashed in the nba. Everyone is bigger, stronger, quicker, and faster with higher verticals.
A middle of the pack g-leaguer would average 40 in the wnba.
Lexi Brown of the Sparks is a journeyman who has played on FOUR teams in 6 years and is a "career" 6 PPG "player"....In fact, she's had 2 seasons where she averaged 1.4 and 1.6 PPG respectively.....NUFF SAID.....
You guys are going to milk Cailyn Clarks name for every view you can get? Some of the Cavs vets including Darius Miles were saying the same thing about LeBron. But in our current state of decay everything is about race or gender.
People want to be entertained. People will tune in. You'll see. As long as she keeps up the way she's playing, people will come to watch and turn on their TV. I know I will
@@joketsu100 ROFL joketsu100 what are some WNBA players and analyst saying about Caitlyn Clark? If it has anything to with women, its women hating on each other and jealousy? What about Wemby? What were they saying about him, he was too thin, he was European, he would be bust, they would not take him number 1? Is that men hating on each other? How did those predictions turn out? Best Rookie season ever? So, look when content creators are discussing female athletes the terminology they use, they read the top comments. We have not made any progression. we may have even gone backwards.
@@willwill1064 dude she's a good player chill out
@@joketsu100 ROFL English must be your second language? I think just like Wemby she is going to excel in the NBA. I dont think you understood what I wrote but good luck.
@willwill1064 no I just didn't read your whole message because you started it out so obnoxiously and acted like what I said was insane. Good luck to yourself too smoke a joint or somethin
[Thanks for not using the background music :D ] CC can consistently make the NBA 3 better than most wnba players can make the wnba 3. This spreads the floor, which obviously creates more space for her teammates. There are already a lot of wide open 3s attempted in the wnba, CC will have a feast after a while, especially late in the game with tired defense.
It's crazy how the media gives fools gold and y'all run to the bank with it......KC is a very flawed player.
Kc?
Has some glaring flaws, but people are too in love with the flashy step backs and the flashy passes that sometime hit their target to notice them.
It wasn't the media that broke 45 records. It wasn't the media that made me watch all the games after I saw her play once.
Was it the media that made you a hater or was it your parents?
Every WNBA player is a flawed player. There’s no one in the WNBA that has her range and ease of shooting. She’ll also get better when basketball is her job and she’s not worrying about classes and grades while getting better coaching and training.
@@keiththompson5193 🤣🤣 cool emotions.
I'll never understand WHY these players are so SET AGAINST someone bringing eyeballs (in turn money) to their sport? Are they just jealous of her talent? Are they that racist? Or do they not like her cause she's straight? Any of these reasons are the reason the WNBA is failing. Him telling her that DT hasn't moved the needle, and her not wanting to hear it is the problem. She doesn't want to admit that if it wasn't for the NBA paying child support, they would be working in factories right now. Or door dashing, or whatever. Cause they wouldn't have a league. Now, you have someone who's gonna being MEGA BUCKS into the league, which in turn increases players contracts, and they're doing everything they can to try and belittle it!!! Thats the true WOKE idealogy coming through. You better look like us, talk like us, believe in what we believe, have the same partner orientation as us, and practice the same non religion as us!! If you don't meet ALL of these requirements, you are now and forever SHUNNED!! Tell me I'm wrong about the WNBA when it comes to this!!!
More racism. It´s just infuriating at this point.
How is it racism when the white women hating also
do you even know what racism is? yes they are hating on her...but its because of her talent...not because she has blue eyes.
a pro guard is to lazy to chase her for a whole game
If raven can do it a wnba player who played on that same court couldn’t do it
This is a really silly argument. This isn't the NBA we are talking about. These WNBA players aren't set for life and are constantly playing for their next contract. Basketball is also their life. To say that they are lazy is asinine.
They’re not lazy but they’ll run multiple screens to help Clark she will be fine like always.
and out of shape
Women can’t stand when someone other than themselves is getting the attention. This chick comes off as mad jelly
Great white hype..
She’s great, she’s white (basketball is her culture), and there is hype around her for being the 2x player of the year, so that’s correct
I'm going to watch a WNBA game for the first time because of Clark
The "machine" is quite frankly a different beast today than it was in the past. CC is being promoted and talked about in spaces that are being seen by tens of millions of people. Not hard to understand how that might help someone's popularity. Comparing that to women's basketball being occasionally brought up on television is quite a bit different.
There is nothing to transition into the WNBA is so bad and the talent is so bad that Caitlyn Clark is already better than any current WNBA player. Caitlin is worth watching the woman in the WNBA are not.
It almost seems that they are upset that she is popular not because she is good.
This is the first time I've ever heard a WNBA being hyped for her ability. Anytime I hear about a WNBA it's usually about them complaining about not getting paid.
All i hear when people talk about Caitlin Clark is how great she is at the sport and I'm thinking that it's rubbing other WNBA players jealous and green with envy.
I'm a woman, and I love women I love people, but women love to hate other women. Some of us get jealous when other women have all the attention. It's just how we are wired. Probably for an evolutionary reason
What seems to get lost here is that she is also an academic, she has other options. CC should stay in college another year, bank in more NiL and shock everyone with that middle finger and go to med school
"The next time I watch a WNBA game, will be the first time I watch a WNBA game." Norm McDonald.
I am a 74 year old black woman And it's all about her being white It's sad to say But it's no Big mystery!!!!
No you're not
Lol all these comments talking about women hating on other women, they probably got it from watching men like lebron throw every team mate he ever had under the bus smh
People just want to see how Caitlin Clark does in general. Not against any particular player.
There is no Taurasi vs Clark that being anticipated. So there's not much there to be marketed in that.
And her stats are reflecting her age. What's going to happen if it does come to a Taurasi/Clark matchup?
They probably won't have her guarding Clark. Because if you look, the most steals and blocks Taurasi has ever had (since she's a guard she's not going to be looked at for blocks, but still it's telling about her ability to be quick and defend), were her first two years in the league.
40 year old Taurasi against fresh Clark.
I don't think that's a matchup Taurasi wants.
Dude you guys keep hiding the most important facts, Caitlin has Zero Championships or National Titles like all the other Great WNBA players, with the NIL and transfer portal you can't use the excuse that she didn't have any help
WNBA players hating a rookie 😂😂😂.. because they are jealous of her
what happened to competition ,,, are these pros supposed to bow down to a rookie ,,, Caitlin prove em wrong and shut them up,, couldnt beat college girls when it counted ,,,,,,tell pros to sit back and watch you chuck up threes with NO rings ,, if Jordan and Kobe could get hated on as rookies,, they still saying Jordan couldnt go left and he been retired for 30 yrs ,,,,,,,, Caitlin prove em wrong
Why do women hate other women's successes?
Jealous. It will never change. 😢
What made Bird fantastic is he could shoot, and his IQ was off the charts. He was slow and couldn't jump. Same with Clark. She can shoot and has a high IQ. What gets left off is she is top 5 in assists all time too.
Both things can be true, she IS hating on Caitlin and NO ONE has had the greenlight and offensive autonomy as Caitlin. (Lexi was NEVER allowed to shoot and monopolize the ball at Duke, Maya was at UConn, Breanna at UConn, Sheryl Swoopes could've dropped 40 agame for 2 years at Texas Tech, Chimiqua Holdsclaw, Tamika Catchings and Candace Parker went to Tennessee and played for Pat, they were COMPLETELY capable of doing 30-35 a game but they played at TENNESSEE! Heck, if all South Carolina did was give the ball to Aj'a, she would've averaged 30-35 piints and 20 rebounds.but, it's South Carolina and Dawn Staley. Sheryl Swoopes could've easily been doing Caitlin numbers at Texas Tech, EASILY, AND she had that type of range. But they didn't allow her to just completely monopolize the the ball being the only Blavk girl on a White team on the panhandle in West Texas
YYYEEEESSSSSSS….MOST LOGIC HERE!!!!!! Let’s go a lil deeper…1993 Swoops took a team MUCH LIKE IOWA to the Finals and WON scoring 47 EFFICIENT POINTS she did it all…blocks…steals…rebounds…showed up on the big stage…that’s what a goat does THESE NEW FANS ARE RUNNING TO THESE COMMENTS WITH DELUSIONS AND IGNORANCE…there are more than a few female ballers that have/had the talent and ability to have the numbers CC had but it wasn’t conducive to their team’s style of play or coach’s standards….THOSE COACHES WANT CHAMPIONSHIPS NOT INDIVIDUAL RECORDS
