- Her great performance against Sabrina Ionescu exposed her extraordinary abilities and tenacity, dispelling any doubts on whether she could excel in the WNBA. Although she was playing against tough defense and had initially struggled too much, she defied all odds and led Indiana Fever to an important win against New York Liberty. Remarkably, she made history by getting a triple-double as a rookie in the WNBA. Caitlin Clark’s influence goes beyond the basketball court evidenced by her numerous achievements in endorsements and how she has popularized the league. It is only through her consistent growth and prowess in difficult situations that one can understand that she is indeed destined for greatness in future as far as women basketball sport is concerned worldwide thereby capturing hearts of many who are interested globally.
I never seen games from the WNBA until I saw this amazing Caitlin Clark I thought I was seeing Sethp curry . She's the whole package assist rebound everything
She’s smart and good. Her passes, ball handling and the way she always follows where the ball is and her teammates are at in my opinion it makes her a GOAT without a doubt. I can watch her all day even if they lose. She makes basketball fun to watch.
I rarely thought about the WNBA before CC.
She is not only scary good across the stat board, she’s scary smart too. It shows in her every interview - she runs the court her way.
haha Ever hear of Pete Maravich?? She would not be worthy of carrying his gym bag
The Larry Bird of female/1/2 male/males who think they are female
@@bobjones7233 Keep crying. 😭
@@bobjones7233 You neither? Stop feeling so insecure
She is total class
I don’t even watch basketball and I’m rooting for her. I’m glad she has a fan base. She’s a phenom.
Im still not a fan of the WNBA but , Caitlen Clark is without a doubt the one player that is going to bring interest to the league. Her game is head and shoulders above anyone in the entire league.
I agree, however the catfighting is. almost non stop and seems like fighting in hockey intrinsic to the womens' game. I don't like it, at all. I started watching when Caitlin was intentionally fouled and knocked to the floor, Icant say I have enjoyed it very much. Sometimes there is good passing but ALL these gals are lead footed. There is virtually NO jumping , and it's all about layups pretty boring if you ask me. Caitlins shooting is on a level with Steph Curry . Why doesnt Golden State hire her as a back up?
It’s exciting to watch CC’s game. Many surprises and Beautiful moves !
I give it up for Caitlin, I never followed WNBA until she entered the league.
This commentary was excellent and spot on. It is truly the scary thing that what we are seeing now is the worst we will ever see. It only gets better.
She figured out that she's better than they are, they really can't stop her without at least a double team and then she will pass them to a victory.
True to her words: They woke a monster in CC!
Bingo. She means what she says.
She's so inspirational❤
Most WNBA players are playing pro Checkers. Caitlin is playing world class Chess.
She will be one of the best, if not the very best.
But going by stats, she's not even in the top 15 yet.
Just let her grow, man. She doesn't need all this fan freak. Doesn't want it, either. Just wants to play ball. Without other players, doesn't really work. She respects them, even if you don't.
@@christopherlyons5900Her attitude and composure are also great assets. Even now she would make a better mentor and coach for the fever. She's the rookie!! Her team mates are finally following her and bettering themselves as unit. I think her coach has an agenda against her.
Full disclosure: I haven't watched BB ( NBA) since the 90's. I'm a rugby guy as it's our international season ( go the mighty All Blacks). However, I watched the Fever's last game now know some WMBA players names. As I've recently started following it. Because of CC.
and... BLINDFOLDED CHESS🎉
@@Innercentric She's still ranked #14, at present, right below teammate Kelsey Mitchell. Just above Diana Taurasi, which is pretty damn good.
She ain't the top-ranked white player, either. Sabrina Ionescu is at #6, Breanna Stewart #8, Kelsey Plum #10.
She's definitely the highest-ranked rookie. Going by stats from this season. And what else do you go by? Social Media Profile? She'd sneer at the very thought--she stays the hell away from online discussions about her. Doesn't want any part of that crap.
Obviously on a team, everybody helps everybody, and Caitlin has been helping her teammates. That matters to her. For some reason, not to many who claim to respect her.
Perfect metaphor/analogy!!!! Never could remembor which was correct but too lazy to do the research .
I have EVERY confidence in her talent, character and love of the game, and she will not only meet every challenge and expectation, she will EXCEED IT and set the bar VERY high, improving the game and the level of play every step of the way!🙏💪👍🥰💕🤩
An admirable young woman in a new environment and deserves respect for her talent and determination regardless of her obstacles! She doesn’t seem to be chasing records she really looks like she just loves the game
As an Iowan, we loved her here but it has to be said that she scores a lot, sure but what impresses me is how she gives those great assists to score, not a selfish person looking to pad her stats at the expence of winning. That is what makes her great, and dont count her team mates out, every assist is a team member scoring.
Watching both Men's and Women's basketball. You really get to see the difference. The men's league embraces the young new face of the league, while the women's league hasn't or doesn't want to.
Especially when one comes on board and is a level above most in that league. They doubted her ability to shine.
Simply said. That's the real difference between them. Women hate othe women and are never satisfied. Men see other men as an addition to a tribe or force.
Women have huge, unhealthy egos and they are driven by childish emotions.
The NBA players are the real drama queens, whining and always changing teams, getting their coaches fired, and too much like the WWE. The only good NBA play this season was with the Celtics who played old fashioned Red Auerbach complete team basketball.
A woman's worst enemy is another woman
I love watching her play.
She IS awesome!!
Just like Pete Maravich (whom she seems to mimic) she is by far the most exciting player to watch in the league. Period.
CC is the only reason I watch WNBA. Only her games matter.
same here only her. I will only watch the Indiana Fever vs whomever. I will not watch the other WNBA basketball team.
YUP !!
Same!
@@lorenreece1665 I agree
I couldn't even spell WNBA before Catlin Clark
LOLOLOLOLOLOL and LOL :)
Never watched a wn;ba game before CC now if I know she's playing I'm watching
She will make plenty of money in the long run off endorsements and won’t have that dodging the competition label. Great long term to go with wnba
Already has
And those Women bad-mouthing CC are so jealous!!!
CC would have absolutely made an impression on a 3 on 3 team
Not sure she would want to
I'm not a fan of the three on three basketball... but seeing how CC has been treated.... she should have taken the millions offered and let the rest of the WNBA ride the buss
And then they win look who is proving them wrong,
That’s what a quitter and a loser would do. CC wasn’t phased by the haters and she came in and proved them all wrong.
Or, maybe she should do what she wants to do, which seems to be to test herself in the toughest conditions and play "real" basketball.
When Clark was first denied from the Olympic team, she actually said that she was going to become a monster, and she certainly has. The WNBA is great basketball, with many new male fans, being that they play tough, physical, basketball, more technically sound than the NBA game.
I’ve been following Caitlin Clark since her senior year at Dowling Catholic … but the WNBA is in no way more technically sound than the NBA. The difference in athleticism is so great it really isn’t even the same game.
It's not "great basketball"... she is a great basketball player.
If she spawns an entire generation of equally skilled women... then it will be "great basketball" in 10 years. Saying something is "great" when it's obviously not is why the WNBA has been so pathetic for decades
Sorry, but there's nothing technically sound about the Wnba it's a sport on a level with....... I'm thinking.
.....
Caitlin is like a fire that can’t be extinguished.
She is amazing
She's got it all!
THE " LARRY BIRD " OF WNBA ! SOMETHING HAVE TO HAPPEN TO MAKE THE WNBA POPULAR AGAIN !
Yeah I have thought the same. Larry Byrd reincarnated.
Not only that, she is also the Magic Johnson.
How tf??? they don't play the same position, dude played Power Forward, lol! People keep comparing her to LB, but their game isn't even the same... CC is the WNBA version of Steph Curry, even Steph sees that comparison. Let's stop with the LB stuff.
I'm just waiting for her to start trash talking her opponents... she's got the skills to back it up!!
“Again?” 😂😂😂
This girl is a young female Larry Bird. When Bird and Magic Johnson came into the NBA there were no live televised games. Even the playoffs and finals were tape delayed. Their rivalry and personalities on the court brought attention and attendance to the league and saved the NBA. Bird also faced the same type of criticism that Caitlin is getting being a white player with the type of game that was far better than what was in the league. He was a dominate scorer, defender, rebounder and passer against what were considered much more athletic and talented players. Isaiah Thomas even said if he were black he would be considered just a good player. Bird transcended race and only thought of how good a player was not what color they were proving the "race baiting" to be totally unfounded. Caitlin needs her Magic Johnson to step up and be the player that just plays ball to become the rival that each other looks to for inspiration to work harder and be better.. It would be the boost the WNBA has needed for a long time.
Looks like if you run the court she will find you if not she shooting 3 very good offensive skills keep it up 😊😊😊
I never watched wnba until now and I’m buying tickets for games I never would have thought of going to. Thanks Caitlin
This was a good watch. The only thing I would have added is that Caitlin Clark was put with the worst coach I think I’ve ever seen and I’ve played basketball since I was 5.
Most of these women are really-good-to-great!
Caitlin's just a superstar, is all....
Got my attention!
insane in the membrane!!!
Caitlin is really fun to watch. I've almost never watched WNBA. When I can get and Indiana game, I'm on it.
She is THE GOAT of today's women's basketball!
First time I've heard her mentioned that she resembles Joker. I see him in her passing every time I watch her.
Clrak will raise everybody's game. The WNBA will become a lot of fun to watch. I never want to see another women's basketball player have to play for Russia agan.
Briner is a man! Russia kept him in a men's prison, plus there's UA-cam video proof. Apparently, he was raised by a mentally ill mother who raised him in female clothing.😢
I'm not being facetious when I say this if ur talking about Brittney Griner u never have
Imagine what this young lady will be like in five years time when she is at her ultimate prime, UNSTOPPABLE.
Damn I gotta see her play live!
must watch her ASAP you will be amazed
good luck getting tickets!
@@sensayumaboston649 Well I have never been a WNBA fan so I didn't know there is no team in Florida! lol So ya TV is all I have.
As a rookie..all things considered..She's the best player, ..in the league!! Straight Up!! Besides Paige...Best Player in the World!!
The only reason I watch the WNBA. I never even watch the NBA at all. Never been intrested in basketball till now.
Is Caitlin Clark a superstar… beats me? BUT, she is talented enough to have breathed new life into the WNBA. I watch now, not just her but the other players. She will be good for EVERYONE in that league!
That ain't Clark... That's BIRD!
You can't not love Caitlin Clark I mean this girl is the real deal❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for this video...
Shes the BOSS!
This was not a cheesy video. The AI narrator wasn't too bad, and was fairly in sync with the action. Unusual. Thanks. Ionescu seems to respect Clark, as Clark does her, and most of her opponents.
Caitin don't ever get down, you have many many supporters who want you to succeed.
let me make this simple for everything. Yes, CC has skillz. But, her real edge is that she is in vastly better shape than the rest of the pothead scissor loving league. She been practicing every day, night and day, since she was 5 years old . LIKE STEPH CURRY
Every player out there should be grateful for the attention she is bringing to women's basketball. Hopefully this will be a multi year fairytale. You go girl!
She's the best thing to happen to women's basketball since men decided to buy them a league
it took a while for indiana's coach to figure it out her team was bad, and she had the best player in the game on her team. you get someone like that and try to force her to be just another player on the team? whose idea was this?
I don't understand why they(her opponents/other teams) treat her this way she is bringing more attention to the league which will help them all, instead they become petty and jealous they are losing respect from alot of people and possibly could lose some fans 🤨
I'm a Caitlin guy through-out her BB career! This girl got real game!
Caitlin Clark is Rookie of the Year!!!!
It's really remarkable how much better Caitlin is from the rest of the league. She is teaching the league how the game is played when it's played great. The rest of the league is jealous because they simply can not keep up with her. It's amazing how she throws bounce passes right past defenders as if they don't even see them. Remarkable player-- GO CAITLIN
Caitlyn “The Crow” Collins!!
?
Sad to note that the WNBA authorities are blind, deaf and outright prejudiced. How can they cut her off from the national time, and not consider her as the ROTY? AR does not even come close. AR has a one-dimensional talent - under the boards. CC has everything else, the greatest of which is court vision and generalship. Who ever heard of a top scorer being at the same time top assists giver? Usually it's one or the other, and never the same ... until CC came along.
CC avg 16.8 PPG and 7.8 apg
They mention modern day superstars that had triple doubles and a dominating effect. What about Oscar Robinson? He was GOAT in an era when the game was much slower and less dilute.
Clark, Wow. What a beautiful approach to the WNBA... Deep Skills!
If I were Caitlin Clark, I’d tell the news media, “Have you guys noticed that I can pass the basketball? And I pass to teammates who score?”
This young lady is a rookie and already on a different level
Pay per view ---horse or 3-point shooting vs. retired NBA players!
Fineline between jealousy and hate.
The backlash for the women's olympic team coach if they lose, it won't be pretty.
if CC can dribble with left hand ( as good as right hand ), she will be unstoppable in WNBA
Don't care too much for Indiana,
But love Caitlin Clark & David Letterman!
Just think how good she would be if she had a "coach" that would work for the team and not for the wnba.
Just wondering if Ionescu will bail out of the 3 pt contest at All -Star game…or will she be willing to compete with Caitlin??
Sabrina and Caitlin are friends. They both love to compete. It would be fun to watch them in a contest. And I think they would have fun with it.
She makes the rest of the league l👀ks like high sch👀l players . She plays like pistol Pete Maravich
Caitlin and Sabrina both have my respect.
//Caitlin is todays Larry Bird.
Young Lady is doing pretty good... She's happy to be there... She's adapting as well as she can.. And she has this thing called a work ethic. Go Girl
I realize the narrator was only mentioning NBA players from this era, but I can't help but be reminded by another player who contributed with every facet of the game. And since CC is playing for Indiana, how can we not be reminded of Larry Legend. Yeah, I know he didn't play there professionally, but he put Indiana State on the map, coached the Pacers to their only NBA finals (while being Coach of the Year), and then was promoted into the front office and won the Executive of the Year. Love the all-around games and competitiveness that both CC and the Legend possessed, past and present.
I just love that perfect back spin she puts on most of her long shots. Ive never cared about either legue but now im a regulat watching wnba.
They defeated New York but CC haters say New York sold this game
Nice to see a player w/o tats, no drama, bully attitude , no drama, crazy AF hair do, no police record , well mannered and speaks English ...and a flat out hooper to boot.
Reese is not even close to Clark.
C.c. Is a great the goat total -package!!
I hope I live long enough to see Caitlin Clark’s image as the WNBA logo instead of whoever they’re using.
This girl is very talented and is a good person,it makes me sick to hear these people who are jealious of her talk about her.If you cannot play basketball and have good sportsmanship and not be jealious then stop playing.We want to watch you all play basketball not wine and cry and talk about this young lady just because you cannot take her on.
I haven't watched WNBA games until i saw Caitlin Clark in the UA-cam.. Now l watch if CC22 is playing.
I've never watched WNBA before in my life she is all around American Woman
Clark is just flat out better than most players
The pettiness comes from the fact that the WNBA players and coaches have come from complacency and do not want to grow as a real league. The WNBA itself, coming from the NBA itself, wants a firebrand such as Johnson, Bird, Jordan, or James, to draw in more attention, make sales, and drive up the quality of the sport. The Fever for the last few years have hovered at the bottom of their conference. We have to see how things develop with CC. Don't be surprise if the Fever can't hold her as a gifted player or that her coach may be sent packing if she can't help build a team around her.
Every word is true.
She has channelled Pistol Pete , she puts on a great show . She alone has saved the WNBA .
I think she also is getting a raw deal from the refs at times. She is getting more bumps/hits than any other point guard. I hope she keeps her head up, doesn’t complain and learns to overcome. She is drawing great crowds in every game and most of her teammates have huge improvements over last year. It will only get better for her. My only critique is she slows her movement after passing and sometimes stands still. If you want the ball back you need to fight off/over one and sometimes two screens. Go watch Larry Bird back in early eighties. He worked twice as hard without the ball as he did with it so they couldn’t guard him. She needs to do that. Maybe better conditioning in the off season will elevate her game even further.
CC: she didn't come to take part; she came to take over...
CC is the complete package of a baller and feisty as hell, if I might add...✌
I wouldn't be suprised if she made the jump to a 22ppg scorer next season or even higher. She could be averaging around 24ppg next season easily. Her learning curve is quick AF.
Fever / Sky game attendance was limited!
So viewers were not able to be there! Watching was only way to get it!
The players in the WNBA JUST KEEP PISSING Her off. She is already a top player and maybe next year she hits even a higher level of play 😊😊😊
Caitlyn said it’s very physical , in a non contact sport
At 06:28 narrator says, "...[It's] safe to say her game has transferred into the WNBA..." 😂 Yep.
The players who are jealous of Caitlin's abilities need to grow up and appreciate her contributions to the interest she brings to the WNBA and in turn to them as well. Individual jealousy and immaturity just gets in the way too often.
