as a woman, the most cruel people i ever worked with were women that tried to tear me down.
Yea It's Crazy
No liars told girl...
As a man, the most cruel people I ever worked with were woman.
A B got me fired because she had to blame someone other than herself.
@@ItsZellssame, girl, same!
Worked at a fortune 500 company for 17yrs with a great reputation, until this young insecure know it all was placed in a staff position…she targeted and sabotaged me from the beginning. It only takes one bitter woman to ruin your career…they are the worst!
The committee thought they were so smart!😂😂😂
Well, the only decision that matters is the Olympic committee.
CC2028
And yet they are. Cry some more
The NBA veterans are more upset about this decision than WNBA. What a mess
Its gotta be frustrating for them, the ladies complained about their slice of the pie and about the attention they were getting and now when they are finally relevant all they do is fck shit up out of pure pettiness, like I get it, but you have to be smarter than that….
Because they insecurities come first. This women using their emotions. Instead of their brains.
@@JohnWick-qd4brexactly
Love KGs take on it. Glad he called out these veterans and USA women's basketball without using trigger words like petty and jealous so these women don't rage out.
Come on man, Diana Taurazi is 42……Why they still have her on that Olympic squad? Hasn’t she played on that team like 6 times?
Yea, she got like 5 medals, what does she need more for?
Leadership, my dude. CC can't lead those women. Diana still ballin at 41 right now. Leader personified
@@rashoff Sometimes you put a freshman on varsity. Not to start or lead, but to learn from a leader.
@@rashoff this is not Taurasi vs CC this is just straight up jealousy and being stupid
@@francariglinoCC isn’t better than some of the players that didn’t make the cut. The takes are beyond ridiculous.
I sense KG loves the game. I love that he accepts the responsibility to bridge fans to the intricacies….love and appreciation of the game over self shows
CCs style is whats attracting new audience. The vibes of angel & brink are a thing too. The old wnba guard has not made league money
Bro it’s simple. Basketball today is dominated mainly by black people period. So when a white person comes along, especially a little white girl from the sticks. Comes in breaking NCAA records and shooting logo 3s dropping 30-40. She’s gonna get attention. It’s not ordinary it’s just not the norm and we living in a whole new world with social media and all these apps and videos and views and clips cmon. Common sense man. She bringing fans and money to their game and the woman wanted that and now they fucking it all up.
Yes, they lost money for the past 30 years, and this year they are gonna lose 50 million more
Sorry it’s not about shining light when it’s the Olympics. If you know about over seas basketball it’s a whole different game and CC 7 turnovers a game won’t work in that light. Yes people will watch but it’s about winning and her career doesn’t show that it only shows deep 3s with a bad assist to turnover ratio
😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣the vibes of angel and brink😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂
@@dominiquevann-smith3350 Do you really think putting CC on the team to play garbage minutes would hurt the chances of the team winning gold?
Nice production, KG. Glad they clipped this segment.
When Juju come and Paige come, ain’t gonna be none of that bullshit they doin wit Caitlin and that’s facts.
The league won't be around
Juju and Paige are more well-rounded as players.
What are they doing with her ?
Facts i beem sayin that about Juju.. the real MJ about to be n the league
FACTS … if the league still around smh
Kevin KILLED IT on this. KILLED IT.
KG 100 percent right.
Big ticket and truth for the new ESPN always speaking facts 💯💯💯
Las vegas got 4 players on the Olympic team but are on a 5 games losing streak str8 garbage but thats what represent usa overseas
They're a 500 team, not even the best team
Irrelevant
PAUL PIERCE SAID “I woulda threw her on too” “sweearrr to god “ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That’s what I was saying…they should have created their version of the WNBA dream team. Have Candace since she is retiring as her last dance, have Diana as her last Olympic run, have even Sue, then have the new guard with Caitlin and Angel then have the top players in Aja, Sabrina, Bryanna, Jewel, Alyssa, Naphessa and Kahleah…it would have been a way to honor the past, the present and the future to grow the WNBA both at home and internationally…a totally lost opportunity!
The amount they could have gained by just having Caitlin with the veterans would have been a benefit to also help end the talk of jealousy and hatred by having them being seen taking them under their wing learning from the veterans, growing friendships…
Yawn
Pierce been saying things like this and now people wanna notice 😂
The wnba is a charity league in 27 years that league has never made a profit. The men of the nba cover the loss for the wnba. Kyrie irving has donate 1.5 million to help cover wnba salaries. And these women got the nerve to ask for more money crazy. Caitlin clark is box office. Try something new wat u got to lose. Winning gold never help make money anyway
100p
CC, Reese and Brink all should have been on the team. People forget. For a very very long-time professionals in the U.S. were not even allowed to participate in the Olympics. Teams were made up of college players and were different every time the Olympics were held. This is a perfect example as to why it should have stayed that way.
those 3 players are pros tho
The main reason why they changed that rule was because the us college players where lossing that’s why the 92 dream team was formed and Dawn staleys 96 womens team was formed. At one point the Olympics was the only professional outlet for women.
The one thing I noticed is the argument that it's beneficial to have Clark and, to a lesser extent, Reese is coming from mostly the MEN. A vast majority I heard from WOMEN are stating the opposite of its merit over popularity.
To me, WOMEN are being blamed for not growing the league because the MEN wasn't going to support these women in the W to begin with and are the main ones, outside of genuine Caitlin fans, who feel they can speak for both men and women as to how to grow the league and it's by putting Caitlin as the face of everything regardless of whose most talented or whose MVP or has a ring. Caitlin brings more eyes to MEN watching the WNBA. Most of them aren't going to watch the Olympic women's team dominate knowing they will because they never cared. If you are never going to CARE, that's not growing.
You are not necessarily wrong but you only are thinking local (USA viewership) and they are thinking globally, like it or not the girls already represent the feature, and they are already growing the league by being on the news ALL THE TIME, think about it, all this extra drama and time in the news does nothing but help bring in new fans, grow interest, now showcase that shit globally, help yourself by showcasing your feature to millions and millions of little girls all over the planet that will watch simply because she is in, simply because she is in the news all the time, this are the type of players younger generations are rooting for, I understand merit, and I would normally agree, but you don't piss on your feature only because your vets might have a problem with it, KG is right, the Olympics is where the knowledge is passed on, where the odd friendships begin, that's exactly how it works in men’s, it's a proven formula, it's the smart thing to do, they need to stop acting like the new gen it's going to be carried without contributing because that's not the case, they are already contributing, and they will ball given the chance
This is the best take I have heard about this situation.
My opinion they should have aleast some rookies on USA team Cameron Brink, Kamilla Cardoso Caitlin Clark Rickea Jackson Aaliyah Edwards Kate Martin it was some many options🤦🏿♂️
Kate Martin? I get it, she got some cred, but don't get it twisted she ain't no Derrick White.
Cardosa is Brazilian. Brazil didn't qualify for the Olympics. Watch Full Court Press. There's a segment about that
Kamilla is Brazilian, Aaliyah is Canadian and Kate Martin? Really? This is the problem, y'all just yapping.
It is totally ridiculous to not put the most popular players on the team. No one wants to see a bunch of layups. We want to see that action. Our women are good enough to beat anybody on this planet. No problem throwing these young girls on there, let them get the international experience
Best comment KG has ever made in regards to the “blockage” that’s currently there.
There is no certainty in 4 years the opportunity will be there.
Message to the NBA: let the WNBA fumble their bag, they can only blame themselves… they can’t blame men, NBA, the Patriarchy.
They are still going to do it.😏
KG is such a real one. He just wants tie help everyone eat and grow
Be quiet
This is what everyone been missing on this thing. It's not only about the marketing. It's about the damn future of the game. The next-gen. Getting them ready. It doesn't if they best 12 players. If it was truly the best 12 Arike Ogunbowale would be the team. KG said it best
I understand that some Black folks, like a couple of my siblings, feel as if they are "traitors to the race" if they don't big-up Angel Reese when Caitlin praises go up. Stop it! This charity praise for Angel is ridiculous. Angel is not there yet.
Even the championship title game won by LSU over Iowa was due to a reserve player who came off of LSU's bench and hit seven 3-pointers in a row - didn't miss one shot, to win the game. Yet, all of this talk about Angel and nobody even mentions the LSU player who actually contributed the most to win that game.
Angel's antics outweigh her basketball playing talents. Angel wasn't even the star player on that LSU championship team. Even now, Kamilla Cardosa is a much better and more efficient player than Angel, but it's Angel's antics that keep Angel being talked about more than Cardosa. Angel should not be considered over Cardosa for any spot.
Ok, you’re just saying ish now. I’m an LSU guy. Watched dang near every game that season. Angel was dominant. That reserve player you’re talking about is Jasmine Carson. She hit five 3’s in the first half and didn’t score at all in the second. It wasn’t “due to” her, it was a blowout. Before that she only had 11 points the entire tournament. I loved that moment, but that’s what it was, a great moment. I agree that Angel is not there now, but don’t act like she wasn’t a force in college. They had a great team, but she was the anchor and the star, unquestionably. And I think you missed the point entirely just so you could go in on “some black folks”. Gtfo of here with that bs. I’m so tired of people bringing race into this. It’s understood it’s CC, but the point is bring in more young ones with their fan bases and let them learn. Not to mention, I personally would love for the young players to spend some time together too, dream team style.
@@awelch31
You proved my point - you're an LSU fan. Good for you. I don't care about you, LSU, or Angel Reese. You and LSU are not relevant to most other people who watched women's collegiate basketball over the past couple of years. That is why the only person who stood out to me on LSU's championship team, and to the people that I know, was the LSU reserve who hit the seven 3-pointers in that title game. And although I had not been familiar with Iowa and Caitlin Clark back then, yet I realized that Caitlin's game was special whereas Angel's game was not and still is not.
Angel has not garnered accolades on the level of Caitlin Clark. It is people like you who insist that there is a rivalry between them - it's not. Many like you have attempted to insert Angel into Caitlin's story. You've shamed the media into accepting that story for fear of being labeled racist. Although I too am a Black man, I can still speak the truth about a situation that involves Black people. I find it embarrassing to Angel to shoe horn Angel into Caitlin's narrative.
Angel needs a lot more development. Caitlin just needs better teammates. That's the difference between them. Better teammates for Angel means less playing time for Angel. Better teammates for Caitlin means greater accomplishments for Caitlin. Another difference between the two players. Angel is not nearly as marketable as Caitlin and neither are the other Black and White players in the WNBA. One more difference between them.
Many want Caitlin's rewards without possessing Caitlin's attributes. Caitlin ain't popular because she's White. Caitlin is popular because she's RIGHT (for the occasion). Her preparation for this moment did not begin at Iowa, it began when she was still in diapers. Now go figure that riddle out.
@@user-ng4nn4zw6rno you're not
Ticket whistling had me dying
KG was MVP in 2004. Remind me again if he was on the mens Olympic team that year?
No. He was on the team in 2000
@@elty69 so he had Olympic experience in 04 too? Really seems like he could have been on that team if he wanted to is my point.
First time I ever agreed with Paul Pierce 100%😂
Yawn Clark cultist
"Dropping the ball"is the most poetic reference, cuz you seen all the dropped balls by her teammates have on pinpoint passes hitting them in the hands?.
when Taurasi and the old WNBA players go in the Hall of Fame ain’t none of these new young player coming to their ceremony to give them flowers.🌺
forgive but don't forget...i think and hope this generation's gonna be much more gracious and supportive to the younguns coming up after them
This will definitely have a long lasting effect on USA basketball
You cannot make people interested in someone. Once they pick who they are interested in, you have something. If you don't move on that, you miss it. WNBA is missing it.
But thank goodness they picked Griner. 🙄
Thank you KG!!!!!
How do i stop these clark stories from filling my feed?
Get "channel blocker" extension for your browser, enjoy.
I blocked out all the childish channels, mr.beast, n3on, and all sorts of childish stupid shit, etc...
....my feeds are pure bliss now, just ball and nature, all is good in the world. 😅😅
For real smh tired of it
Feed them
Scroll past. Are you unable to do that?
You click and commented so you are actually saying you want more
They are wrong. Those women that are on the team are established and they had camps while Reese and Caitlin were playing in college. So you put those two on, who are you booting off. It's a matter of fairness and it isn't like they aren't winning. The men's side is weak to be honest lol So there will be a time where they will get an opportunity
Can’t believe the tittle coming from 2 legends of the Game who breath Competition! The only person who should be crying about getting snubbed is “Arike Agunbowale” and the fact that no one in the media is mentioning this is all the more reasons why men should stay away from speaking on issues that they know nothing about !
why not both? team usa did arike, caitlin, and fans wrong. that's a backourt i'd watch even if they're coming off the bench to play 3 minutes!
I get it older WNBA players resentful because new players getting paid more and bigger sponsorships . Taurasi should do a commercial with Clark
This is great - no fear KG! Everyone is afraid to speak truth.
Both of y’all real 1’s
I love yall but this is wild. There isnt a player on the roster that I would take off for clarke. You would know this if you are up on game.
So shut up about making more money when CC has brought more revenue to this welfare league than ever before.
Brother you missed the whole point, it’s not about merit, it's about catching eyeballs, not only it financially benefits everyone by creating more views and new fans but KG is also right about it being a tradition for a reason, you need to bridge the gap, pass the knowledge, make friends, besides you only play them enough to create a buzz and showcase their strengths, they are not stealing valuable minutes from anyone, they are really there to learn,
@JohnWick-qd4br I think I understood the point. I just don't agree with the approach of keeping players of the team to put on more popular players to grow the game. Put the best team together and go win. Those players are gonna continue to bring views to the game regardless. Being on the USA team is a big individual accomplishment, and I don't think it should be handed out for popularity.
You don't exist.
@@jjvasquez2424 The WNBA has failed to turn a profit in over 20 years and has failed to grow a fan base with its own demographic (*women), but the moment a little white girl starts attracting a new fan base and getting deals with Nike everyone wants to talk about merits and ethics while sitting in a shiny white horse pretending to be gatekeepers of integrity, the girl already has the power to increase viewership GLOBALLY but you all rather pretend that she doesn't belong already, Reese deserves a spot, CC deserves a spot, so does Brink, Juju should've also been included, but its too late now, the drama alone would've had TV networks all over the planet bidding for broadcasting rights…..
Somehow this is going to be men's fault and not theirs
Try harder trolll
The Farragut hoodie is elite!!!
SPEAK THE TRUTH PAUL 💯✌️🫡
A lot of people are knew fans and think they know the W. just because she has hype doesn’t mean she’ll be the best fit for the team. There’s a time and a place to grow the game. But the Olympics are about winning. Besides the old heads on the team. There a players better then CC. And that’s just facts. She shoots like Steph but her games isn’t efficient like Steph and that’s okay she still a rookie with room to improve that’s why she was left off.
She doesn't shoot like Curry you smooth brain
That 1st sentence applies to you.
usa women win every year idk how one player gonna grow the game by playing for them.
CC has her own fan base that is probably bigger than the women's Olympic fan base. So yeah it will grow
@@raularellanes4101 doubt it. doesnt really “grow the game” it would just pleases her stans
Her Stan’s fill the stands for her, can you say the same for most to the players that made the Olympic team?
@@YoshiBear17 some of them fill seats for sure, and others not as much but it’s not a popularity contest
Coach Gino moved the US basketball training schedule because he knew Diana Taurasi would be in the final four. This year they scheduled the training at the same time and now they’re saying CC missed the training camp. Taurasi was on the team before she was even drafted to the WNBA.
all these NBA players are more upset than WNBA people lol
Because at thr end of the day its growing the game they love.
@@OxygenC2 no it's not
If you’re looking through an investor’s lease then it makes sense so if you’re not invested or getting paid to push the issue then you don’t have a horse in the race…Paul cappin or rather “tap” dancing for the saltines on this one knowing basketball is about your game
Most of the ppl saying they sold her don’t even watch wnba to no if she deserves it and when lever it’s women tearing each other down it’s look at women but when it’s guys it’s never gendered
KG went from wearing a rubberband to wearing a Panerai
Gotta let'em breathe every once in a while 😂
15 person roster then it could happen
However because most say she is bot ready and we see they are not better than the other players or the one's that didn't get picked. Cheat the game WWE. The game like in the NBA
KG nailed that shit to a fucking T
Taurasi is going for her 6th gold at 42 years old. It’s a joke. Sit down.
USA Gymnastics and USA Basketball will never be 50/50 lol. Nor will 100 meter Track and Basketball. But, I get his point.
Angel cannot add anything to the Olympic team. Shooting 33%beneath the basket and expecting Angel to keep getting her own rebound to attempt to put the ball in the basketball, eventually, is not an asset for the team. Angel shoots the ball as if she is off balance. Her shooting percentage underneath the basket is proof that she is actually off balance.
Angel Reese can't benefit the Olympic team, she can only hurt it
No. Trolll
But Paul and KG, Gil and Shady will say it's not fair for Black coaches to be head coaches over they're under qualified white counter parts Caitlyn isn't as good yet not strong enough
Reese has no business being talked about on this subject! Period!
Clark represented the US 3 times on the junior team.
KG is 1000 percent correct!!! KG is my man to the day I die! Paul Pierce was on the money as well. They definitely dropped the ball. If I had to have a mentality of one player......it would be The Big Ticket. It's no disrespect, and he comes from a "straight up" mindset. No judgement and no bias.
Two greats speaking the truth.
No truth found
We have to make the game better with our women. "Dawn Stanley" put her out there
Draft Bronny #1 then since he's the most popular player in the draft.
The difference is nobody watched bronny
Agreed, caitlin will bring popularity and eyes to w envy a, bronny wont affect anything
@Joe Naismith you make Zero sense
Lol are you all's feelings hurt or something?😄 Calm down. They just went on a rant about how politics and popularity weighs in on moving the needle. You're in denial if you say LeBron James' son doesn't move the needle, especially if he plays with him. But you're arguing my sarcastic point, it makes zero sense to pick someone based on popularity and politics. And don't tell me Clark is the goat, she leads the league in turnovers and technical fouls and just had a 3 point game. And she didn't get to tryout because she was still playing. But I get it she's your baby and you want to bend all rules to give her a blankie and a bottle. Carry on.
L take
Thank you paul pierce and k.g. ..angel Reese and Caitlin clarke...everything is political ..respect the future of the game...spread the Olympic experience and theOlympic Spirit around...the Planet!!!
He named CC shorty.😂
She's short tho.
They didn't drop no dam ball they don't want to even give them Louisiana hot sauce a chicken bone..
The question the WNBA players need to ask themselves is: would I rather make some more money playing basketball or do I want to see the Womans National Team getting gold, not Saying that if the draft class was added to the team they wouldn't get old.
Delusional.
Yawn
She’s bringing eyes. Not much politics to it.
Jealous and envy. First off thiugh ad deserved to be on the all star and all nba lol
“Hell have no fury on a woman scorn”
Taurasi may have not gotten paid in here player career like Clark. But she rides this wave she could have a very lucrative post media career with a lot of sponsorships
I dont care if this makes sense to you but it does to me. Clark, Boston, Arike, Brink, and others played on Team USA youth teams. I would think Team USA would be loyal to the young players that rocked the NCAA. like in the old days. they should make room for Clark plus two or three, special considration for gold medalist youth players. gotta have experience next time. Clark did things in college NOBODY had done before. Why is it so hard for Team USA to recognize that? Isnt that the spirit of Team USA?
Yawn
Hey OG you know you not going get paid in your career that’s passed. But you can be a true OG mentor, set yourself up for a lucrative post player career. You might be coaching these girls, shame you treating them like this. This jealousy is so short sighted, play the long game, it’s called legacy.
2004 Olympic mens team picked draft pick Emeka Okafor and rookies Melo, Wade and Lebron over established stars and vets
2004 women's team picked draft pick taurasi
2008 women's team picked draft pick candace parker
2012 men's team picked draft pick anthony davis
2016 women's team picked draft pick breana stewart
2020 men's team picked rookie keldon johnson
They shouldve picked caitlin clark, and for good measure brink and reese too, coz theyve been doing that over the years. Only 8 or 9 players will play meaningful minutes coz Olympic/FIBA games are only 10 mins per quarter. They gonna win gold regardless and those 3 rookies wouldnt play significant mins, but they will bring significant attention.
Wrong they added them after a bunch of established players declined to play
Yeah Angel Reese and CC should be there.
Just last year super well-known WNBA player X Draymond Green, why don’t the NBA just donate money to the WNBA. now it they got the cash cow now they playing
I was disappointed with this decision. ... JuJu, Clark, Boston, and Reese on the same team......USA Marketing should be fired immediately. I wouldnt be surprised if down the line they decide to not play for USA because of this bone headed decision

I would never watch anything over Simone Biles!
And I’m a hoop lover.
Simone Biles is a legend LEGEND!
The WNBA is lucky enough to have the NBA, an elite league that has gone through many changes over the years. They get to see first-hand how it changed and how it positively effected the league. Steph Curry for instance, his style of play was foreign to the NBA back then, the extreme volume shooting and ridiculous accuracy from the logo to even half court shots. His success changed the NBA. Caitlin Clark is currently one of the closer players in the WNBA that somewhat resembles some of Steph Curry's game. We've seen what that combination of playstyle is capable of in the NBA. Why would they go to such lengths to try to bring her down rather than go along with the ride? Why do they actively want to prevent the WNBA from getting more fans and earning more profit?
That have made the NBA worse. What are you on about
@@nonamewillbegiven Incorrect. It's not the players that are to blame. It's the organizations shifting to certain trends, creating more rules to help facilitate those particular styles that can make the league worse.
@@brutallyhonest3574 so I remain correct
Why Didn’t NBA add OKC SG, he’s the New, U ain’t even check NBA😳
The nba don't need a profit they make 10 billio. A year and growing. Wnba league has made a profit in 27 years. Wat business can survive that
If your going to throw 2 on the team it should be CC and Brink. Brink is far better and more of a rounded player
Its weird that most men think having CC in Team USA is what’s best for womens basketball. And the one’s who rejects the idea are mostly the women!
How is a disagreement weird?
Exactly 💯 Juju Coming

Yeah those 7 points CC put up was definitely USA Team worthy... Y'all eating her too much... Grow the game??? Putting it on the map? Women's basketball been live globally. It's not live here. These guys don't know anything about the W... I know a bit, but this is clear and utter ignorance.
Those same 7 points got more people to watch and talk about her and the game than the veterans in her league.
Hell naw Yall mixing issues. Have yall heard of any sport, ever in history, gaining growth because of the Olympics? Playing the short game for a couple more views aint worth it. Microwave world we live in it might seen like a good business move. But some things you gotta let play out. Play the long game.
CC Reese and Cameron Brink should all be on team USA. Shine the light on the new faces
Of the WNBA, they letting them old angry lesbians decide the faith of the league
Sorry it’s not about shining light when it’s the Olympics. If you know about over seas basketball it’s a whole different game and CC 7 turnovers a game won’t work in that light. Yes people will watch but it’s about winning and her career doesn’t show that it only shows deep 3s with a bad assist to turnover ratio

I get it in the marking sense but at the end of the day they chose basketball facts over shared opinion facts. Just to put it in perspective the college or drafted nba player to play in the Olympics was Anthony Davis. If you know ball we can agree on why he was picked. Besides hype CC doesn’t fit it to make the team
@@dominiquevann-smith3350 Not arguing the basketball side of it. I don't care if she fits or not. Garbage minutes to the most popular player in the game would do wonders for the other women on the court because people would tune in and see the other stars. People need to care about who is playing otherwise no one will pay attention. We have ample evidence on the men's side as well as to why this works. Moving forward WNBA decisions need to have some portion that is market based and not just basketball based. They've had 27-28 years to do it their way and it hasn't worked, no one is watching.
@@rickd438 I can’t hold you, you nailed it on the head with this last comment and I couldn’t agree more I just don’t like the narrative that’s being presented. But this is the type of communication I like no who’s right or wrong but just sports talk. The wnba has a big adjustment on their hands and I just want equal opinions like the nba. Like you said they only been around for close to 28 years that’s like Bill Russell time if we talkin comparisons to nba. So definitely room to improve. But I love the sports talk without basis opinion 👌🏾
Great episode! Just lay it down what is wrong about the WNBA and USA Olympic decision not to include Caitlin Clark and even Angel Reese. Unbelievable stupidity to the extent that these NBA superstars have to voice it out for the WNBA and US Olympic to listen.
Yawn smooth brain
