I love Larry Bird, Pistol Pete, and I love Caitlin Clark. But IMO i believe Pistol Pete was the best guard to ever play the game. His college career will never be matched. His NBA career would've been much better had he played for better teams. I'm surprised to this day the Lakers never picked him up. He would've thrived, and won championsips. His life was lost way too young, with a bad heart; or I seriously believe he'd have been a great NBA coach eventually. RIP Pistol Pete.
@@renoblomberg4054 Agreed. And pistol did go to a team led by jealous players like GUS who were not ready for him. The NBA was not ready for him. He was my favorite player as well. I know many would disagree with me, but I thought he was better than another two of my favorite players at the time, Walt Frazier and Earl Monroe. 😂😂😂 I am running for cover now. Let the inbounds begin... lol
I've been saying this for months. Many said I was full of crap. Bird and Magic brought the League back to life, Clark has done that. As a Bostonian I can say Bird's first year brought fans, as did Clark. It's incredible the comparison.
I was in the Boston Garden for every big game from 81-88. Clark is more like a Jordan, only she can pass Jordan couldn't. Bird, Magic, Jabbar, Wilt and others were better than over rated Jordan. Not sure Clark will end up being the greatest player ever? I would have to say she won't, just too small like Jordan. I'd always take the big guy over the small guy. CC needs to have the big players to pass to, without that, she'll be just another Jordan who NEVER beat the best players. Jordan got his azz kicked his first 7 years until the best players were broken. Then he got his chance to win. Not one doubt she'll be the best guard to ever play in the WNBA, but probably won't be the best player ever. We laughed at Jordan at the Garden when he tried to guard Bird, all 15,003 of us. She is a better 3 point shooter than Jordan and 10 times the passer than he was.
@@BillJohnston-y7o Dude you sound a little bitter 😊 I’m sure the six time champion and billionaire Michael Jordan doesn’t really care what you think anyway.
@@mannyg53 LMAO, Jordan never beat the best when they were all in their prime. Got his azz kicked for his first 7 years, I was there to see it. Bitter? I watched Bird crush Jordan's hopes every single time. Jordan never beat Bird in the playoffs. We laughed at him when he tried to guard Bird. It was a riot. Even Thomas said Jordn was a non factor in the 80's when the best played. Bird was broken after 87, then Jodan sitll took 4 more years before he won. lol
@@BillJohnston-y7o The Fever do not have enough talented Bigs. CC will soon have some big, talented players to play along side her. Look for some really talented free agent signings by the Fever. Lots of players champing at the bit to play with CC. They recognize a good and historical thing when they see it. Plus anyone that plays along side CC gets lots of scoring opportunities, recognition and camera time. You get famous playing with CC.
You mentioned Larry Legend. I was born in 77. I saw my first nba game when I was 10 years old. My grandfather got tickets through his job and took my dad and I. Yes, I was supremely lucky I saw the Celtics and the Bulls. It was game 3 of the 87 playoffs, first round. Bird had 32 with 14 rebounds. Dennis went 24 with 10 assists. MJ shot for 30. I saw 6 hall of famers that night. Bird, McHale, Chief, DJ, Parish, and MJ. That night made me love basketball, and made me felt accepted by the two most important men in my life. God I love basketball. One thing I love about Caitlin? She gets hammered, but always stands up. Sometimes it feels like she has a Laimbeer protege on every team, the way they go after her. She's special. I can't wait to watch her career
@@fixer1972 I doubt Caitlin herself would consider herself a legend yet. She has stated several times already that she wants to be as good as her hero Maya Moore. I'd say being the unofficial best player in the W as a rookie, she's off to a great start.
Lol I’ve told my dad several times she reminds me so much of Bird. They both knew exactly where everyone on the court is, their vision is unmatched. They are also similar in personalities too, both vicious competitors but a different person off the court. I’d love to see an interview of them two together, the trash talking between them comparing highlights would be hilarious 😂😂
Larry Bird was my favorite player. Celtics were my team back in the day. My Mom and I went to Larry's Game one year. We got to see Michael Jordan, Dominique W and many others. It was so much fun
Ms Adrienne, thank you. Your the first person that i have seen, that actually put the time in AND shows how Caitlin compares to Larry Bird. When i watched her for the first time, that is what i saw RIGHT AWAY. Many thought i was nuts saying i see her play like Bird. Thank you again.
Bird can’t be like Clark because Bird had Johnson while Clark has no such analogue and, no, Reese does not measure up to Johnson. And bad Sides held Clark back in the first half, forcing her into a mere role player in a traditional WNBA half court game which was a terrible mistake that subverted Clark’s genius.
CC needs a head coach who 1) respects her abilities, and 2) makes the best possible use of them. Christie Sides ain't it. She had to be dragged kicking and screaming into letting Clark run the offense, and then still insisted on her lame, misguided strategies.
@@JimmyHossa ..Maybe Swoopes never shut up but that's the only way she can get attention..Im a huge CC fan. Some prople changed their mind after her season.
@@melissawilson5160 Swoopes is using CC to keep the attention coming her way. To Swoopes no publicity is bad publicity. Better to be a stench than forgotten.
More like Jordan, only she can pass 10 times better and she's a better 3 point shooter. I was in Boston garden from 81 to 88 for every big game. Bird was a big, compete player who could do it all. So was Magic, as of right now, she's like a Jordan, who was never the best player. She's smaller like Jordan, the great big players usually win it all. Jordan never ever did that, got smoked for his first 7 years until the best players were broken.
Great vid, I was just thinking that it is amazing CC is getting so much coverage even now. I think it's both how skilled she is and also how trivial the WNBA has become. It's like a perfect storm.
Yes. I know CC is capable of more than what we saw in her rookie year. I believe CC held back to a certain degree in her rookie year. But her playing small doesn't serve anyone. The more she is confortable being herself, the more it will uplift her team too. And a little prayer for better refs that will call fouls and NOT deprive CC of the free throws she deserves.
90% from FT line is automatic for Caitlin. 40% from 3 is gonna be a challenge considering her high volume of attempts and the distance (deep 3's) she loves to pull up from. 50% from the field is very rare and challenging for backcourt players as much of their attempts are perimeter-oriented. A guard must have exquisite shot selection to shoot 50-40 splits. CC might do it once in her career but she doesn't need it. Just shooting in the realm of these coveted percentages would be 👌!
Uh...no she doesn't...have you seen Bird's passes? His passes were other-worldly. Maybe CC passes are comparable to John Stockton on an average day...but bird's passing was downright legendary.
CC has talked about "court vision". It's on the go, not just some ethereal happening. It works only through team building and we got to see that after the Olympic break.
@@gomisaburo6544you’re dumb!!! Her passing is definitely on that level… what’s that matter are you crying??? You have to be a man to do that clown?? Guess what a woman is doing it clown… you are a bozo and that’s it’ll..
@@edwardfortier2335 ... watch Larry Bird in action and when the game is in crunch time...then watch CC. She is a good passer, for sure...even John Stockton-esque...but dude...when you see Larry Bird passing, you have to watch the clip a few times just see what's going on there. CC isa good, even really great passer...but Bird was crazy good.
The Bird vs Johnson, Clark vs Reese rivalry comparison is a joke. Out of the four, you have 3 players with incredible talent and skills that basketball had never seen before... ...and you have Angel Reese.
@@jl2ealey Magic was by far the greatest guard of all time, I saw him many times in the Boston Garden. Also saw Jordan, we chanted over rated most of his games. It was a riot when he thought he could guard Bird.
I watched Larry Bird and Magic Johnson from the time they joined the leaugue, after they were college rivals.. I was very much reminded of them when Caitlyn and Angel appeared. I had a wonderful image in my head of them "saving" the WNBA the way Larry and Magic did for the NBA. The potential was there until Angel and the WNBA threw the opportunity in the trash. Absolutely SHAMEFUL.
Caitlin had a 47.3 FG% in her 2022-2023 season and 47.2 FG% in her 2020-2021 season. She hit 40.6% of her three-pointers in her 2020-2021 season, so I think that there is a good chance that she can join the 50-40-90 club at some point in her career (if they don't double-team her and if the new coach develops some good plays to free her up for shooting).
Better/more screens and even more chemistry (hopefully) with the starting 5 from last season, in addition to better defense would give her better shots and give her a chance at the 50/40/90 club.
the biggest difference I see between both is the rivalries. Magic/Bird not only respected each other but were friends (and they still trash talked to each other). Angel/CC, i'm not so sure about the respect and friendship. also I am gonna give a positive nod to both Erica Wheeler and coach Sides. It would have been very easy for the fever's season to spiral out of control after a 1-8 start, Sides got them to gel together and not devolve into finger pointing. I like to believe Wheeler is a big reason why the fever didnt get too distracted by all the noise that was coming from so many sources. I think people dismiss her to easily.
I just watched an awards show featuring Bird, Reggie White and Catchings. Bird was extraordinarily humble ......still. CC has that going on too.....maybe with a bit more pride but she often credits her teammates with her success on the court.
That would be some rare air for Caitlin to have a full season with 50/40/90, and is definitely doable for her to eventually get there. Reggie Miller was fantastic his one season in the 50/40/90 club of 1993-94, loved that team.
Bird could shoot from anywhere, so can Clark. They both are also elite passers. Bird and Clark both turned around a franchise. Bird in his rookie year took a 29 wins Celtic team to 61 wins. Both won ROTY
I definitely see the parallels between CC and Bird. They both have that electric combo of court vision, lights out shooting, and swagger. It’s a potentially lethal combo and she has it. I hope those 2 get to hang out sometime. They do both live in Indiana, after all. Maybe Caitlin Clark will be the first in the W to record a quadruple double?? Which is also a category I put Larry Bird in, since he was 1 steal shy after playing only 3 quarters. 😂
I'm a Celtic fan and love Bird! I get the comparison with CC, but I don't like where it came from. It came from comparing her and Bird, and Reese with Magic. Magic even agreed with that. I don't. I think it gives Reese way more credit than she deserves. I think Caitlin should be compared with M.J. or Labon, not style wise, but for greatness. Clark is already the greatest, college player, ever. I think she'll do it in the W as well. Thanks for all the percentage comparisons! I appreciate all the work you put into your show.
Absolutely I think Caitlin will join that club. I also think it's a coincidence that I've been yelling all over the place about how Caitlin seems to me eerily like Bird, and until I came here today all I heard about it was crickets-- nobody seemed to agree! You say that alot of folks have seen the similarity, so I believe you, but I sure haven't heard or seen it. Here's what I wrote the other day about Bird and Clark: Am I the only one who sees Larry Bird in Caitlin? For me, the similarity is downright eerie, and although it's been obvious to me that certain other players have studied Bird and incorporated some of his moves, I've never seen anyone who overall reminds me so much of Bird's game. The IQ, the precision, the timing, the skill, the creativity-- imho Bird far surpasses Clark in all of these, but then again, I'm not able to remember and distinguish his rookie play from his later game, so it may well be that she's closer to him in his rookie year than I'm thinking. Regardless, she's already spectacular, and obviously a workhorse with an incredible love of the game and a fierce ambition to improve, so there's no doubt she'll improve exponentially each year. And as she does, I'm betting she gets even more and more similar to Bird, in her passing and everything else. I don't see his quick release, his sleight-of-hand, his wily misleadingness, his amazing no-look and tap passes, his level of hustle and aggressive steals and some other things in her game, but I'm thinking those things and others will come in time. Don't know, though, if she'll ever have a game as witty and funny as Bird's. Again, if I had to bet, I'd bet yes...that once she's taken care of the more fundamental aspects of her game, that will emerge automatically, from what I can tell of her personality.
Looking at her college years, I think she might have a hard time doing this. Her best field goal percentage was 47.3%, Best three point was 40.6%, and her best free throw was 88.1%. That's not to say I think she can't, I just think she's got a ways to go. Ultimately, I don't really care if she does or doesn't, because it seems pretty clear, she is very likely to be the best player for at least the next 10 years.
I get that people say she's like Larry Bird but I'm still not fully there yet. She gets steals, which Larry did too, but Larry made the All-defense 2nd team three years in a row, before he injured his back. Clark isn't that good on defense. Well, she could improve maybe. Her college career stats for shooting are 46/38/86, close but I think she reasonably can do it. She's only had her rookie year, and an especially rough one, too. In time I'm confident she'll do it. Stephen Curry only hit 50 in the field goal slot once in his career, but his 3 pointers and free throws are consistently there. Larry Bird's career averages were 50/38/89, pretty dang near that mark. But he had a four year stretch where he averaged at least 50/40/90, and 28 points, nearly 10 rebounds, and 7 assists. Those were his years where he also won three consecutive 3 point contests and three consecutive league MVPs. He's called Larry Legend for good reasons. Then there's Larry's unparalleled trash talking, which if he did that today he'd get banned from the league. I don't think CC is that level of savage, though. But anyway, as Magic Johnson said at Larry's retirement ceremony: "there will never ever EVER be another Larry Bird!" The world is still waiting. I'd love it if CC can prove to be the female Larry Bird.
Since coming to the WNBA CC has taken on a completely different role and function then she did in college. In college she was an off guard and primarily a shooter. That is why she was taking those logo shots, making them and getting famous for doing so. Since coming to the WNBA she has taken on the role of point guard due to necessity. Besides her the Fever don't have a good point guard. Mitchell is a great shooter but not a point guard, so she takes on the role CC played in college for the Fever, a shooter. As point guard CC has the responsibility for setting up plays and players to take shots, thus she gets fewer shots herself. She also gets lots of assists as the point guard. As a PG she also has opposing players right up in her face almost all the time as she tries to set up plays. If the Fever ever get another good point guard (it would have to be a really good one) CC might return to the position of off guard and get more shots and PPG. Bird was considered a 'point forward'. He also set up his teammates for shots but he got his fair share. In many ways CC resembles Bird and has that kind of value to her team.
If Bird had the 3-point line in high school like Clark there would have been no contest at the 3-point shootout. But that line was only instructed one year before Bird came to the NBA.
Bird and Magic in the 80’s was great. I never missed a game when they played. There were great friends off the court and on the court they battled great games in 80’s Caitlin and Angel aren’t on the same level as Bird and Magic Caitlin has talent Angel is just Angel. Just sayin.
Caitlin is actually both Bird and Magic. A hybrid of the two. Shooting, passing, rebounding, push the pace like the Showtime Lakers, and makes everyone around her better like both of them did.
Re: the two rivalries-- Magic and Bird also had a similar skill level, which is not the case with Caitlin and Angel...in addition to, as you mentioned, the former was an actual rivalry, which both of those players acknowledge, whereas the latter was created by Reese and perpetuated by the league and the media; in sum, it's bogus.
To compare Angle Reese with Magic Johnson is so disrespectful to Magic as a person, as a competitor, as a team mate! Reeses shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as that man!The only "stats" that Bird and Magic cared about was the WIN! It's a team game yet Reese only cares about herself. Both Bird and Clark have had to deal with race issues. Larry has said that he kind of enjoyed it because it meant he was going to be battling them all day, every day! He used it as motivation. Clark too is dealing with that specter but in a much different way. Clark has shown nothing but grace and class in taking whatever the haters can throw at her and she comes back even stronger, doesn't get involved with the negative crap, just keeps applying her trade at every game which just makes all of the haters look so small, petty, unlikable. How can you NOT like this kid? Like Bird, she is very humble and honest at every press conference, no excuses! Like Bird, she is not afraid to go into any other teams arena!
Thank you Adrienne. I Have No Doubt whatsoever that Caitlin could Accomplish The 50/40/90. I’ve been watching her games since junior high, and Being a Lifelong Hawkeye, Ive Seen Her just get Beter and Better thruout Her Career. And it seems that whatever challenges Caitlin has Faced throughout that time, She has always found a way to not only Adapt and Adjust, but to excel and perform better and better. and if there’s one thing I know about her among many things, its that She Has a Drive and Passion Unlike any Athlete Ive ever known in my Lifetime. Just Look at Everything she accomplished in this entire first season as a Rookie, coming in with no rest time, straight out of the NCAA finals, not even knowing her teammates, or the league and how things work there. She put up incredible numbers despite being scratched, Bulldozed, knocked down, pulled punched, smacked poked, held onto, etc etc. I could see the bruises and scratches, gauges, on her shoulders, the back of her elbows, her Face and forehead, her legs and her neck , by the halfway point of the season, and I had never seen her body with so many marks on it, and Ive been watching Her play a long time in Her career and She Endured all of this Abuse in Her very first season in the WNBA, and She was still able to Achieve some amazing and fantastic Accomplishments despite all of that. I can only imagine, just thinking what it would’ve been like if she would’ve been welcomed with open arms and been treated equally, vs all of the vicious , nasty Abusive aggression and Hatred she had to deal with. And Adrienne, You are so correct when you say she will get better and better watch and see. I’m not claiming just because I’m a lifelong Hawkeye and have been watching her for all these years that I know exactly what’s going to happen, No , of course I don’t, But I Have Never seen Caitlin back down from, not only her own personal challenges, but challenges that she has Fsced with Anything in Front of her, throughout her career. God Bless You too Adrienne. And I’m just adding one more point here, for those who don’t know Caitlin, -Throughout her life, her downtime is any simple Leisure things, she enjoys simplicity off the court, Family and friends are Super important to CC, she loves to golf, go bowling, Arcades, Trivia and any kind of little Fun games, and because she’s very competitive, and Shes a Fanatic when it comes to Pizza, All Pizza- Pizza is her Number #1 go to for Cure-all, It helps her Relax , Helps Her Decompress, but Sometimes Pizza actually helps her focus prior to game time, in moderation of course. You can bet your bottom dollar that right now Caitlin is decompressing, enjoying the simple and taking in everything from this year, Moment to moment, going over things internally, While still keeping it simple and enjoying her leisure time, Because Caitlin is so proficient at Balancing many things in her life simultaneously. Thats Caitlin.
What caught my attention when CC began playing is that her style reminded me of Larry Bird. Her shooting and passing are wonderful. Like Larry Bird she sees the entire court. CC is also unselfish like Larry Bird. Now I am unsure CC will become a top trash talker but I doubt it CC seems too nice. A different perspective is how the team looks. I only watched the Chicago Bulls. What a collection of interesting players. They were fun to watch. So now I want to see if the Feaver can develop that interesting team personality. I think so and hope so.
In my opinion Larry Bird is the greatest player that I have seen in my lifetime. I think Jordan, in his prime, MIGHT be a better player, but Bird was greater. Larry Bird and Magic Johnson saved the NBA. Period. If you don't have Larry Bird, you don't even have a WNBA. Larry Bird sent all the greats back to the house, and told them to go practice, after he beat their butts. There's a reason they call him 'Legend'.
There is a video titled Why Caitlin Clark is the female Larry Bird. I wish Larry Bird and Caitlin would acknowledge each other. They haven't spoken each other's names publicly. And Larry is from Indiana. Michael Jordan hasn't mentioned her publicly either.
She does remind me of him but I don’t if she talks crap like he did. His brilliant mind & his phenomenal skill combined with being a 6’9 PG he was one of the goats
Comparing Reese to Ervin is an insult to Ervin. Comparing Caitlin to Larry is more realistic. I don’t know if you watch much of Larry’s documentaries but there was a period of 4 years that he averaged 50/40/90.
I'm 60 and when I saw clark play my thought was "When did Larry Bird become a 22 year old female point guard". Bird founded the 50/40/90 club. And I suggested the Fever get the same 3 year commitment like gave the pacers to coach the Fever. He was not only a 3 time MVP, but Coach of the Year and Executive of the Year.
Adrienne(The Breath of Fresh Air)Ross! I have a few things to say before I comment. I am of the age to remember the Magic/Bird rivalry. By the way, that goes back to their college days. Goes without saying, I'm gonna say it anyway, 2 of the best ever! Caitlin's game is similar to both in my opinion. However, unlike Bird, CC does not trash talk. I say that having watched legends in the NBA talk about Bird's mouth running. No doubt in my mind, and I've knocked on everything wooden in my house, Little Miss From The Logo stays healthy. Titles and Awards are gonna be aplenty. Appreciate you and your vast amount of follwers. GO FEVER!
So where is Geno hiding, we havent heard a squeak out of him since the Patrick interview. Maybe he's having trouble downing all that crow after all the nonsense he spouted which has been proven dead wrong, all of it.
First of all, I want to slap you for posting something that made me think Larry Bird could come to Indiana to coach. While in Italy as a 14-year-old in the early 70ies, I listened to NBA games over the Armed Forces radio when I should have been sleeping. I was totally in love with Larry Bird's game later in the decade and got excited at the thumbnail! But you instead threw a stat gauntlet. While I believe Caitlin is fully capable of a 50-40-90-something season, I'm not sure I want another season of team sacrificial stat padding to make it happen and I definitely don't want to see more of Christie Sides fumbling around at coaching.
Whether Caitlin achieves this 'goal' or not doesn't matter to me. Neither do all the 'stats'. It's how she plays and how she presents herself that attracts fans and attention. Dangling stats and potential records before our eyes POTENTIALLY will disappoint and drive away lukewarm fans if she doesn't attain them soon enough. True fans know that it's the PERSON, not their stats, that keep you hanging on!
CC gets compared to Nash. Bird and Steph all the time that alone is remarkable, even more so no one has a issue with it, just a debate of which one she is more like.
Just to kind off hit on the intro. I never got into CC because of her Logo 3's range...its always been about her passing. Her ability to create points by using her team mates is the best gift she has in her basket. She reminds me of a early 00's Steve Nash, and as a Canadian he is the pinnacle player we provided to the sport "we" invented. That is why I fell in love with CC. She passes like no one has in nearly 20 years. Nash hit 50/40/90 4 times the most in basketball history. Almost did it 5 times hitting 89.9 FT and almost has a career 50/40/90 average. That is who CC resembles to me. Not Bird but one of the greatest unsung guys to do it. Steve Nash. That is who she should be compared to.
Watched Larry Bird in high school, his Springs Valley Blackhawks play my Bulldogs every year. Also trolled him when he had an off night and he came to watch the Bulldogs play Loogootee. Didn’t care for him at ALL.. even at ISU bc imma IU fan. But once he went pro…. I became a LB fanatic. Just like I am today with CC. 😊
I’ve been saying it for it for months, that’s actually why I supported angel Reese for a while, I thought it set up a neat sort of dichotomy for the league.
SAY THAT!!!! People truly don't realize how great Caitlin was, considering no rest from NCAA to WNBA, abuse, etc. and handled everything with grace regardless-- AND SHE'LL ONLY BE A BIGGER MONSTER GOING FORWARD!!
50, 40, & 90 are very rare and yes maybe Caitlin will achieve this in the coming years, my best guess would be something like this: 47, 37, and 90 for the 2025 season, 48, 38, and 90 for the 2026 season, 49, 39, and 90 for the 2027 season, and 50, 40, 90, and averaging 30 points per game in preparation for the 2028 Olympics.
She practically is like Larry Bird already but just shy of making behind the basket shots, catching inbound passes from the opposing team and getting the rebound of your own shots.
Bird was also a great coach. Too bad the WNBA can't afford a coach like that because he'd do wonders with Clark, Boston, and Mitchell.
caitlin clark has the court vision of steve nash, the range of steph curry, and the basketball iq of larry bird. best player ever
Caitlin Clark = Bird & Pete & Curry & Nash COMBINED
IQ of Larry Bird but the flare and jazz style of Pistol Pete.
Passing like Larry Bird, as well.
♥️🏀♥️ CC 22 ♥️🏀♥️
I love Larry Bird, Pistol Pete, and I love Caitlin Clark. But IMO i believe Pistol Pete was the best guard to ever play the game. His college career will never be matched. His NBA career would've been much better had he played for better teams. I'm surprised to this day the Lakers never picked him up. He would've thrived, and won championsips. His life was lost way too young, with a bad heart; or I seriously believe he'd have been a great NBA coach eventually. RIP Pistol Pete.
Plus she has the welling and mentality obsession to win like THE GOAT MJ.
@@renoblomberg4054 Agreed. And pistol did go to a team led by jealous players like GUS who were not ready for him. The NBA was not ready for him. He was my favorite player as well.

I was in the Boston Garden for every big game from 81-88. Clark is more like a Jordan, only she can pass Jordan couldn't. Bird, Magic, Jabbar, Wilt and others were better than over rated Jordan. Not sure Clark will end up being the greatest player ever? I would have to say she won't, just too small like Jordan. I'd always take the big guy over the small guy. CC needs to have the big players to pass to, without that, she'll be just another Jordan who NEVER beat the best players. Jordan got his azz kicked his first 7 years until the best players were broken. Then he got his chance to win. Not one doubt she'll be the best guard to ever play in the WNBA, but probably won't be the best player ever. We laughed at Jordan at the Garden when he tried to guard Bird, all 15,003 of us. She is a better 3 point shooter than Jordan and 10 times the passer than he was.

Plus anyone that plays along side CC gets lots of scoring opportunities, recognition and camera time. You get famous playing with CC.
Birds talent he was a play maker 🎉
Clark talent is a play maker also 🎉
And they both have taken a lot of bad hits on the court ❤❤❤❤
You mentioned Larry Legend. I was born in 77. I saw my first nba game when I was 10 years old. My grandfather got tickets through his job and took my dad and I. Yes, I was supremely lucky
I saw the Celtics and the Bulls. It was game 3 of the 87 playoffs, first round. Bird had 32 with 14 rebounds. Dennis went 24 with 10 assists. MJ shot for 30.
I saw 6 hall of famers that night. Bird, McHale, Chief, DJ, Parish, and MJ.
That night made me love basketball, and made me felt accepted by the two most important men in my life.
God I love basketball.
One thing I love about Caitlin? She gets hammered, but always stands up. Sometimes it feels like she has a Laimbeer protege on every team, the way they go after her. She's special.
I can't wait to watch her career
I find myself lucky to have watched the rise of Kareem, incredibly partnered with the Big O❤
That was a beautiful tribute 😊
Bird is my #1 player of all time. Larry brought Boston such excitement.. LARRY was a high IQ player just like CC. He saw the floor like no other.
Clark's passing and Larry Bird look one and the same. There's videos showing that. I wish Larry came out of retirement and decided to coach the Fever.
Rather she be more like Magic Johnson but I'm good with Larry Bird. Either way she is a Legend in the making.
@@tabularasa9554 She’s already a legend, not in the making.
@@fixer1972 I doubt Caitlin herself would consider herself a legend yet. She has stated several times already that she wants to be as good as her hero Maya Moore. I'd say being the unofficial best player in the W as a rookie, she's off to a great start.
Lol I’ve told my dad several times she reminds me so much of Bird. They both knew exactly where everyone on the court is, their vision is unmatched. They are also similar in personalities too, both vicious competitors but a different person off the court. I’d love to see an interview of them two together, the trash talking between them comparing highlights would be hilarious 😂😂
Larry Bird was my favorite player. Celtics were my team back in the day. My Mom and I went to Larry's Game one year. We got to see Michael Jordan, Dominique W and many others. It was so much fun
Larry was the founding member. 😮
CC is a hooper, and I appreciate her game !!!!!!.....💙💙💙💙💙💙
Can you only imagine the season CC would have had if she had the support from the league, coach Sides and the refs?!?!?!?!?!
She won't unless she becomes part of the alphabet community.
the first time i saw caitlin clark play it reminded me of larry bird
I appreciate you keeping up with the CC Fan Girl commentary.. we got super long off season!.. keep it coming!
CC IS A COMBINATION OF BIRD, NASH, STEPH & MAGIC TO ME. ALL THREE ARE FEARLESS &DYNAMIC! CC CAN& WILL GET THE 50,4O & 90!
Ms Adrienne, thank you. Your the first person that i have seen, that actually put the time in AND shows how Caitlin compares to Larry Bird. When i watched her for the first time, that is what i saw RIGHT AWAY. Many thought i was nuts saying i see her play like Bird. Thank you again.
Bird can’t be like Clark because Bird had Johnson while Clark has no such analogue and, no, Reese does not measure up to Johnson. And bad Sides held Clark back in the first half, forcing her into a mere role player in a traditional WNBA half court game which was a terrible mistake that subverted Clark’s genius.
I agree one trillion percent magic as we know was great seeing the floor as well
@chevyyyyyyy Yes, absolutely agree, which is why I can’t understand why she is still there.
@@calicoe99 I hope the rumor that the new admin. will replace Sides is true. She was amateurish at time outs and subs, one could call her inept.
CC needs a head coach who 1) respects her abilities, and 2) makes the best possible use of them. Christie Sides ain't it. She had to be dragged kicking and screaming into letting Clark run the offense, and then still insisted on her lame, misguided strategies.
Stats for CC is the only way to shut some people up.
Stats didn't shut anyone up. We as CC fans must never bow to the mob who calls us ridiculous names. Have a great night!
@@JimmyHossa ..Maybe Swoopes never shut up but that's the only way she can get attention..Im a huge CC fan. Some prople changed their mind after her season.
@@melissawilson5160 Swoopes is using CC to keep the attention coming her way. To Swoopes no publicity is bad publicity. Better to be a stench than forgotten.
When everyone was saying Steph I said Larry Bird❗
More like Jordan, only she can pass 10 times better and she's a better 3 point shooter. I was in Boston garden from 81 to 88 for every big game. Bird was a big, compete player who could do it all. So was Magic, as of right now, she's like a Jordan, who was never the best player. She's smaller like Jordan, the great big players usually win it all. Jordan never ever did that, got smoked for his first 7 years until the best players were broken.
Great vid, I was just thinking that it is amazing CC is getting so much coverage even now. I think it's both how skilled she is and also how trivial the WNBA has become. It's like a perfect storm.
Yes. I know CC is capable of more than what we saw in her rookie year. I believe CC held back to a certain degree in her rookie year. But her playing small doesn't serve anyone. The more she is confortable being herself, the more it will uplift her team too. And a little prayer for better refs that will call fouls and NOT deprive CC of the free throws she deserves.
I agree she was holding back but wait until next season
Kelsey Mitchell almost did it this year
@noahsimmons1161 I hope she stays. Those two are going to be fire.
Together with CC could be unstoppable
90% from FT line is automatic for Caitlin. 40% from 3 is gonna be a challenge considering her high volume of attempts and the distance (deep 3's) she loves to pull up from. 50% from the field is very rare and challenging for backcourt players as much of their attempts are perimeter-oriented. A guard must have exquisite shot selection to shoot 50-40 splits. CC might do it once in her career but she doesn't need it. Just shooting in the realm of these coveted percentages would be 👌!
She sees the floor like Larry did.
Uh...no she doesn't...have you seen Bird's passes? His passes were other-worldly. Maybe CC passes are comparable to John Stockton on an average day...but bird's passing was downright legendary.
CC has talked about "court vision". It's on the go, not just some ethereal happening. It works only through team building and we got to see that after the Olympic break.
@@gomisaburo6544you’re totally wrong with her passing, it’s unworldly
@@gomisaburo6544you’re dumb!!! Her passing is definitely on that level… what’s that matter are you crying??? You have to be a man to do that clown?? Guess what a woman is doing it clown… you are a bozo and that’s it’ll..
@@edwardfortier2335 ... watch Larry Bird in action and when the game is in crunch time...then watch CC. She is a good passer, for sure...even John Stockton-esque...but dude...when you see Larry Bird passing, you have to watch the clip a few times just see what's going on there. CC isa good, even really great passer...but Bird was crazy good.
So glad to see you’re over 40,000 now! Congratulations!
Yessssssss,I agree,Larry bird totally,cc has a flare of her own which has to be appreciated,you covered this well. GOD Bless
The Bird vs Johnson, Clark vs Reese rivalry comparison is a joke. Out of the four, you have 3 players with incredible talent and skills that basketball had never seen before...
...and you have Angel Reese.
Reese surely is not a Magic prototype. 😂😂😂
@@jl2ealey Magic was by far the greatest guard of all time, I saw him many times in the Boston Garden. Also saw Jordan, we chanted over rated most of his games. It was a riot when he thought he could guard Bird.
@@jl2ealey Angel Reese is more like Dennis Rodman but without his lay in scoring touch or his class (by comparison).
@@BillJohnston-y7o People forget, JORDAN never beat Bird...😂😂😂
Truth, but you must be racist for identifying the obvious 😊
Absolutely she can!
Thanks For This Lesson! I appreciate The Way You Explain Things! And Taking Time For Us!
Appreciate you!!💯‼️❤️
I watched Larry Bird and Magic Johnson from the time they joined the leaugue, after they were college rivals.. I was very much reminded of them when Caitlyn and Angel appeared. I had a wonderful image in my head of them "saving" the WNBA the way Larry and Magic did for the NBA. The potential was there until Angel and the WNBA threw the opportunity in the trash. Absolutely SHAMEFUL.
Caitlin had a 47.3 FG% in her 2022-2023 season and 47.2 FG% in her 2020-2021 season. She hit 40.6% of her three-pointers in her 2020-2021 season, so I think that there is a good chance that she can join the 50-40-90 club at some point in her career (if they don't double-team her and if the new coach develops some good plays to free her up for shooting).
Better/more screens and even more chemistry (hopefully) with the starting 5 from last season, in addition to better defense would give her better shots and give her a chance at the 50/40/90 club.
the biggest difference I see between both is the rivalries. Magic/Bird not only respected each other but were friends (and they still trash talked to each other). Angel/CC, i'm not so sure about the respect and friendship. also I am gonna give a positive nod to both Erica Wheeler and coach Sides. It would have been very easy for the fever's season to spiral out of control after a 1-8 start, Sides got them to gel together and not devolve into finger pointing. I like to believe Wheeler is a big reason why the fever didnt get too distracted by all the noise that was coming from so many sources. I think people dismiss her to easily.
I’m “hear” for you ❤
The difference between Larry Bird and Caitlin Clark is their gender and that is it.
I just watched an awards show featuring Bird, Reggie White and Catchings. Bird was extraordinarily humble ......still. CC has that going on too.....maybe with a bit more pride but she often credits her teammates with her success on the court.
That's who she reminds me of
Should have been this season❗
That would be some rare air for Caitlin to have a full season with 50/40/90, and is definitely doable for her to eventually get there. Reggie Miller was fantastic his one season in the 50/40/90 club of 1993-94, loved that team.
Ya, I think she can do it!
CC will do it next year !!!!!!!!!!!
Courtney Williams is MVP!!!! Show her some love. She needs a video too.
Love your broadcasts
Bird could shoot from anywhere, so can Clark. They both are also elite passers. Bird and Clark both turned around a franchise. Bird in his rookie year took a 29 wins Celtic team to 61 wins. Both won ROTY
Larry Buuurd! She reminds me of Pistol Pete Maravich.
Better comparison
If Caitlin Clark was making a guitar player, it would have 82 strings. Only she can play it and no one else can.
I definitely see the parallels between CC and Bird. They both have that electric combo of court vision, lights out shooting, and swagger. It’s a potentially lethal combo and she has it. I hope those 2 get to hang out sometime. They do both live in Indiana, after all.
Maybe Caitlin Clark will be the first in the W to record a quadruple double?? Which is also a category I put Larry Bird in, since he was 1 steal shy after playing only 3 quarters. 😂
I'm a Celtic fan and love Bird! I get the comparison with CC, but I don't like where it came from. It came from comparing her and Bird, and Reese with Magic. Magic even agreed with that. I don't. I think it gives Reese way more credit than she deserves. I think Caitlin should be compared with M.J. or Labon, not style wise, but for greatness. Clark is already the greatest, college player, ever. I think she'll do it in the W as well. Thanks for all the percentage comparisons! I appreciate all the work you put into your show.
Absolutely I think Caitlin will join that club.
I also think it's a coincidence that I've been yelling all over the place about how Caitlin seems to me eerily like Bird, and until I came here today all I heard about it was crickets-- nobody seemed to agree! You say that alot of folks have seen the similarity, so I believe you, but I sure haven't heard or seen it.
Here's what I wrote the other day about Bird and Clark:
Am I the only one who sees Larry Bird in Caitlin? For me, the similarity is downright eerie, and although it's been obvious to me that certain other players have studied Bird and incorporated some of his moves, I've never seen anyone who overall reminds me so much of Bird's game.
The IQ, the precision, the timing, the skill, the creativity-- imho Bird far surpasses Clark in all of these, but then again, I'm not able to remember and distinguish his rookie play from his later game, so it may well be that she's closer to him in his rookie year than I'm thinking.
Regardless, she's already spectacular, and obviously a workhorse with an incredible love of the game and a fierce ambition to improve, so there's no doubt she'll improve exponentially each year. And as she does, I'm betting she gets even more and more similar to Bird, in her passing and everything else.
I don't see his quick release, his sleight-of-hand, his wily misleadingness, his amazing no-look and tap passes, his level of hustle and aggressive steals and some other things in her game, but I'm thinking those things and others will come in time.
Don't know, though, if she'll ever have a game as witty and funny as Bird's. Again, if I had to bet, I'd bet yes...that once she's taken care of the more fundamental aspects of her game, that will emerge automatically, from what I can tell of her personality.
4:31: Their rivalry was never personal. It was between two teams, which Magic and Bird were their biggest stars.
Looking at her college years, I think she might have a hard time doing this. Her best field goal percentage was 47.3%, Best three point was 40.6%, and her best free throw was 88.1%. That's not to say I think she can't, I just think she's got a ways to go. Ultimately, I don't really care if she does or doesn't, because it seems pretty clear, she is very likely to be the best player for at least the next 10 years.
I get that people say she's like Larry Bird but I'm still not fully there yet. She gets steals, which Larry did too, but Larry made the All-defense 2nd team three years in a row, before he injured his back. Clark isn't that good on defense. Well, she could improve maybe.
Her college career stats for shooting are 46/38/86, close but I think she reasonably can do it. She's only had her rookie year, and an especially rough one, too. In time I'm confident she'll do it. Stephen Curry only hit 50 in the field goal slot once in his career, but his 3 pointers and free throws are consistently there. Larry Bird's career averages were 50/38/89, pretty dang near that mark. But he had a four year stretch where he averaged at least 50/40/90, and 28 points, nearly 10 rebounds, and 7 assists. Those were his years where he also won three consecutive 3 point contests and three consecutive league MVPs. He's called Larry Legend for good reasons.
Then there's Larry's unparalleled trash talking, which if he did that today he'd get banned from the league. I don't think CC is that level of savage, though.
But anyway, as Magic Johnson said at Larry's retirement ceremony: "there will never ever EVER be another Larry Bird!" The world is still waiting. I'd love it if CC can prove to be the female Larry Bird.
Since coming to the WNBA CC has taken on a completely different role and function then she did in college. In college she was an off guard and primarily a shooter. That is why she was taking those logo shots, making them and getting famous for doing so. Since coming to the WNBA she has taken on the role of point guard due to necessity. Besides her the Fever don't have a good point guard. Mitchell is a great shooter but not a point guard, so she takes on the role CC played in college for the Fever, a shooter. As point guard CC has the responsibility for setting up plays and players to take shots, thus she gets fewer shots herself. She also gets lots of assists as the point guard. As a PG she also has opposing players right up in her face almost all the time as she tries to set up plays. If the Fever ever get another good point guard (it would have to be a really good one) CC might return to the position of off guard and get more shots and PPG. Bird was considered a 'point forward'. He also set up his teammates for shots but he got his fair share. In many ways CC resembles Bird and has that kind of value to her team.
CC played point guard in college. Kate Martin was the shooting guard, sometimes small forward. That's how CC was able to rack up the assist numbers.
If Bird had the 3-point line in high school like Clark there would have been no contest at the 3-point shootout. But that line was only instructed one year before Bird came to the NBA.
Bird and Magic in the 80’s was great. I never missed a game when they played. There were great friends off the court and on the court they battled great games in 80’s Caitlin and Angel aren’t on the same level as Bird and Magic Caitlin has talent Angel is just Angel. Just sayin.
Caitlin is actually both Bird and Magic. A hybrid of the two. Shooting, passing, rebounding, push the pace like the Showtime Lakers, and makes everyone around her better like both of them did.
@@boxingandbulldogs6341 I agree
LET'S GO!!!!!!!
Larry’s greatness, besides his talent was his competitive nature. He just about refused to lose. He never gave up.
Re: the two rivalries-- Magic and Bird also had a similar skill level, which is not the case with Caitlin and Angel...in addition to, as you mentioned, the former was an actual rivalry, which both of those players acknowledge, whereas the latter was created by Reese and perpetuated by the league and the media; in sum, it's bogus.
Fever needs a coach like Nash or Durant. Someone who can help Caitlin and the Fever increase their skill level and defense game.
To compare Angle Reese with Magic Johnson is so disrespectful to Magic as a person, as a competitor, as a team mate! Reeses shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as that man!The only "stats" that Bird and Magic cared about was the WIN! It's a team game yet Reese only cares about herself.
Both Bird and Clark have had to deal with race issues. Larry has said that he kind of enjoyed it because it meant he was going to be battling them all day, every day! He used it as motivation. Clark too is dealing with that specter but in a much different way. Clark has shown nothing but grace and class in taking whatever the haters can throw at her and she comes back even stronger, doesn't get involved with the negative crap, just keeps applying her trade at every game which just makes all of the haters look so small, petty, unlikable. How can you NOT like this kid? Like Bird, she is very humble and honest at every press conference, no excuses! Like Bird, she is not afraid to go into any other teams arena!
Thank you Adrienne. I Have No Doubt whatsoever that Caitlin could Accomplish The 50/40/90. I’ve been watching her games since junior high, and Being a Lifelong Hawkeye, Ive Seen Her just get Beter and Better thruout Her Career. And it seems that whatever challenges Caitlin has Faced throughout that time, She has always found a way to not only Adapt and Adjust, but to excel and perform better and better. and if there’s one thing I know about her among many things, its that She Has a Drive and Passion Unlike any Athlete Ive ever known in my Lifetime. Just Look at Everything she accomplished in this entire first season as a Rookie, coming in with no rest time, straight out of the NCAA finals, not even knowing her teammates, or the league and how things work there. She put up incredible numbers despite being scratched, Bulldozed, knocked down, pulled punched, smacked poked, held onto, etc etc. I could see the bruises and scratches, gauges, on her shoulders, the back of her elbows, her Face and forehead, her legs and her neck , by the halfway point of the season, and I had never seen her body with so many marks on it, and Ive been watching Her play a long time in Her career and She Endured all of this Abuse in Her very first season in the WNBA, and She was still able to Achieve some amazing and fantastic Accomplishments despite all of that. I can only imagine, just thinking what it would’ve been like if she would’ve been welcomed with open arms and been treated equally, vs all of the vicious , nasty Abusive aggression and Hatred she had to deal with. And Adrienne, You are so correct when you say she will get better and better watch and see. I’m not claiming just because I’m a lifelong Hawkeye and have been watching her for all these years that I know exactly what’s going to happen, No , of course I don’t, But I Have Never seen Caitlin back down from, not only her own personal challenges, but challenges that she has Fsced with Anything in Front of her, throughout her career. God Bless You too Adrienne. And I’m just adding one more point here, for those who don’t know Caitlin, -Throughout her life, her downtime is any simple Leisure things, she enjoys simplicity off the court, Family and friends are Super important to CC, she loves to golf, go bowling, Arcades, Trivia and any kind of little Fun games, and because she’s very competitive, and Shes a Fanatic when it comes to Pizza,
All Pizza-
Pizza is her Number #1 go to for Cure-all, It helps her Relax , Helps Her Decompress, but Sometimes Pizza actually helps her focus prior to game time, in moderation of course. You can bet your bottom dollar that right now Caitlin is decompressing, enjoying the simple and taking in everything from this year, Moment to moment, going over things internally, While still keeping it simple and enjoying her leisure time, Because Caitlin is so proficient at Balancing many things in her life simultaneously. Thats Caitlin.
I believe she can but she has to have help❤
The volume she shoots will make that 40 hard to do, but it’s possible if the hero ball is kept to a minimum.
Clark is known around the world! Fans in India Philippines, Australia, Italy, South America, Africa,!
My boy Juan Soto just sent My Yankees to the World Series!!!
Clark is capable of 50/40/90. But she is really more focused on assists
What caught my attention when CC began playing is that her style reminded me of Larry Bird. Her shooting and passing are wonderful. Like Larry Bird she sees the entire court. CC is also unselfish like Larry Bird. Now I am unsure CC will become a top trash talker but I doubt it CC seems too nice. A different perspective is how the team looks. I only watched the Chicago Bulls. What a collection of interesting players. They were fun to watch. So now I want to see if the Feaver can develop that interesting team personality. I think so and hope so.
She's already known as a trash talker on the court.
@@theadriennerossshow Ahh did not know that. Most excellent. Thank you.
I think CC has the flair of Magic, IQ court vision and passing of Larry Bird and hopefully the longevity of John Stockton.
In my opinion Larry Bird is the greatest player that I have seen in my lifetime. I think Jordan, in his prime, MIGHT be a better player, but Bird was greater. Larry Bird and Magic Johnson saved the NBA. Period. If you don't have Larry Bird, you don't even have a WNBA. Larry Bird sent all the greats back to the house, and told them to go practice, after he beat their butts. There's a reason they call him 'Legend'.
Yep 💯... well said Adrienne....I believe Catlin Clark can do it.
The biggest difference between bird and Clark. Bird would have been knocking lights out. The way she was fouled. Larry didn't play that
There is a video titled Why Caitlin Clark is the female Larry Bird.
I wish Larry Bird and Caitlin would acknowledge each other. They haven't spoken each other's names publicly. And Larry is from Indiana. Michael Jordan hasn't mentioned her publicly either.
She does remind me of him but I don’t if she talks crap like he did. His brilliant mind & his phenomenal skill combined with being a 6’9 PG he was one of the goats
Comparing Reese to Ervin is an insult to Ervin. Comparing Caitlin to Larry is more realistic. I don’t know if you watch much of Larry’s documentaries but there was a period of 4 years that he averaged 50/40/90.
This is Lady Jordan people
I'm 60 and when I saw clark play my thought was "When did Larry Bird become a 22 year old female point guard". Bird founded the 50/40/90 club. And I suggested the Fever get the same 3 year commitment like gave the pacers to coach the Fever. He was not only a 3 time MVP, but Coach of the Year and Executive of the Year.
I appreciate your analysis and commentary. Most perceptive. Thank you.
Adrienne(The Breath of Fresh Air)Ross! I have a few things to say before I comment. I am of the age to remember the Magic/Bird rivalry. By the way, that goes back to their college days. Goes without saying, I'm gonna say it anyway, 2 of the best ever! Caitlin's game is similar to both in my opinion. However, unlike Bird, CC does not trash talk. I say that having watched legends in the NBA talk about Bird's mouth running. No doubt in my mind, and I've knocked on everything wooden in my house, Little Miss From The Logo stays healthy. Titles and Awards are gonna be aplenty. Appreciate you and your vast amount of follwers. GO FEVER!
I love CC and how classy she is, but she is known for talking trash on the court. LOL!
So where is Geno hiding, we havent heard a squeak out of him since the Patrick interview. Maybe he's having trouble downing all that crow after all the nonsense he spouted which has been proven dead wrong, all of it.
I see Reggie Miller as the Poster Boy for Caitlin Clark physique...😮🎉😂
The Club also Magic Johnson and Mark Price, great video.
I hope they hire a new coach for Ponytail Pete!
Steve Nash
First of all, I want to slap you for posting something that made me think Larry Bird could come to Indiana to coach. While in Italy as a 14-year-old in the early 70ies, I listened to NBA games over the Armed Forces radio when I should have been sleeping. I was totally in love with Larry Bird's game later in the decade and got excited at the thumbnail! But you instead threw a stat gauntlet. While I believe Caitlin is fully capable of a 50-40-90-something season, I'm not sure I want another season of team sacrificial stat padding to make it happen and I definitely don't want to see more of Christie Sides fumbling around at coaching.
Whether Caitlin achieves this 'goal' or not doesn't matter to me. Neither do all the 'stats'. It's how she plays and how she presents herself that attracts fans and attention. Dangling stats and potential records before our eyes POTENTIALLY will disappoint and drive away lukewarm fans if she doesn't attain them soon enough. True fans know that it's the PERSON, not their stats, that keep you hanging on!
CC gets compared to Nash. Bird and Steph all the time that alone is remarkable, even more so no one has a issue with it, just a debate of which one she is more like.
Isaiah Thomas apology to Larry Bird and explanation was a legit heartfelt apology.
Ms. Ross ,💕 she can do everything you say , if she is not hurt playing with a group of haters. Lord help protect her ! 🙏
Larry Bird never showed his ass for clicks,,,,,,,,, just saying
This killed me 💀🤣
Are you referring to Angel Reese?
As a rookie she was close
Just to kind off hit on the intro. I never got into CC because of her Logo 3's range...its always been about her passing. Her ability to create points by using her team mates is the best gift she has in her basket. She reminds me of a early 00's Steve Nash, and as a Canadian he is the pinnacle player we provided to the sport "we" invented.
That is why I fell in love with CC. She passes like no one has in nearly 20 years.
Nash hit 50/40/90 4 times the most in basketball history. Almost did it 5 times hitting 89.9 FT and almost has a career 50/40/90 average.
That is who CC resembles to me. Not Bird but one of the greatest unsung guys to do it. Steve Nash. That is who she should be compared to.
Shoutout to Dr. James Naismith!
@@theadriennerossshow yes maam. without him we may never have this beautiful sport to get angry over.
Watched Larry Bird in high school, his Springs Valley Blackhawks play my Bulldogs every year. Also trolled him when he had an off night and he came to watch the Bulldogs play Loogootee. Didn’t care for him at ALL.. even at ISU bc imma IU fan. But once he went pro…. I became a LB fanatic. Just like I am today with CC. 😊
I’ve been saying it for it for months, that’s actually why I supported angel Reese for a while, I thought it set up a neat sort of dichotomy for the league.
SAY THAT!!!! People truly don't realize how great Caitlin was, considering no rest from NCAA to WNBA, abuse, etc. and handled everything with grace regardless-- AND SHE'LL ONLY BE A BIGGER MONSTER GOING FORWARD!!
Cc doesn’t like to rest. She does better if she stays in
She should not be playing full games. There's no reason she can't catch a breather. No player likes to rest; that's why they're not the coach. LOL!
😂😂😂😂
Geno
LOL!
50, 40, & 90 are very rare and yes maybe Caitlin will achieve this in the coming years, my best guess would be something like this:
47, 37, and 90 for the 2025 season,
48, 38, and 90 for the 2026 season,
49, 39, and 90 for the 2027 season, and
50, 40, 90, and averaging 30 points per game in preparation for the 2028 Olympics.
Clark isn’t worried about Reese.🤣🤣🤣
She practically is like Larry Bird already but just shy of making behind the basket shots, catching inbound passes from the opposing team and getting the rebound of your own shots.
Thanks!
