- Caitlin Clark has become the FACE of women's basketball the past few years…
Her influence ALONE has given women’s basketball a never before seen attention… and the CRAZIEST PART is… She’s not even in the pro’s yet!
Caitlin Cark has the entire basketball world talking about her… so it’s only fair to give our 2 cents and talk about HOW GOOD Caitlin Clark REALLY is…
We’ll dive into how Caitlin Clark became the MEGA star she is today, how INCREDIBLE her run has been at Iowa, and how we think she’ll develop at the next level of her basketball career… - Спорт
Will Caitlin Clark be the GOAT of women's basketball? Let us know in the comments below!👇
Yes
I bet she would have been good in the grand prize game on Bozo circus
Hopefully not in Indianapolis! Move to fever out of Indy! They cost to much and no one cares!
Lol
You would know you are bozo. @@edfrhes
The fact that whenever she plays she attracted some of the largest crowds for the women's basketball, that is GOAT
because she's white
For college I can agree, she got my wife and I to watch her from the semifinals on, the first time we had watched college women's basketball, however she will not play in college any more.
So, now being the greatest of all time is based on how many people are watching the game????? Man, you guys, and by "guys" I mean white people, are trying so hard, and failing MISERABLY, to make this overrated player into something that she's clearly not lol.
What has she won?
No championship tho.
Good post but...I call BS on the championship issue. Some of the greatest players of all time never won a championship in college.
if you have no championships then why does the ncaa go to the trouble of having a tournament if you do not have any championships you cannot claim to be one of the greats the ncaa might as well cancel any tournaments to crown a champion if that is your opinion. Caitlyn is way overated and cannot beat 5 other basketball players by herself she is not super human like everyone is making her out to be just a good player with no championships like UCONN HUSKIES
@@jeffrey-me9by purely for money. They get billions for the tournament.
@@mezzb I beg to differ. Michael Jordan carried his teams. When he left, they fell apart.
@@jeffrey-me9by Championships are important of course...but implying you can't be a goat because your team didn't win a college championship is bs...Larry Byrd...Pete Marevich etc
@@jeffrey-me9by Over-rated? No. And I challenge you to name one sport... just one, that doesn't have tournament/championship.
You have to consider the level of talent on the team surrounding the player. Iowa has some very good players, but look at the recruiting rankings. Caitlin Clark taking Iowa to back to back Final 4 appearances is nothing short of astounding. And she still has a chance to win it.
Average of three stars on Caitlin Clark's team.
Her team best performance skill is their ability to play around her, understand CC s level and be as humble as they are. No other athlete on her position has been brave enough to go to a team like Iowa, she does not appear to be human, no bad days, no pressure, what a clutch player, pass, rebound, understanding of the game, the court, just great..!!!
Like the way Larry Bird elevated his tiny college team to the NCAA championship game.@@alainmandado
What the hell do you mean has a chance that is like saying close but no cigar she has no championships period and stands no chance against South Carolina at all get some smelling salts up your nose and wake up talking about chances that is same thing as dreaming.
@@alainmandado
No one really cares about women's basketball. The level of play is too low! She might be good enough to play on a boys' high school "D" basketball team, so stop with all the absurd hyperbole!
Crazy how many WNBA players and people in the media are upset that she's succeeding and making the womens game more exciting. Cant tell if it's racism, jealousy, or a mixture of the two.
Racism.
White people run men's and women's basketball. It's pure racism.
IN the Emperor Palpatine voice.. "All of it." With a couple shots of Hate.. the Playa Hate that is.
Plus ignorance and stupidity. Remember that black ex WNBA player interviewed by Gilbert Arenas? Sheryl (or Cheryl) Swoopes or something? Such stupidity.
The racism is there were no talk like this for all the greats before her... Her run is not the greatest.
I'll take Maya 2 National Championships and B Stewart, who won 4 National Championships in a row. Nothing or no one can compare.
No, she is not the goat. No even close.
Her assist ratio is gonna go up in the WNBA because she will be surrounded by better talent. She will elevate their game because her passing ability is much better than most. Obviously she can score from anywhere, so her scoring will be top notch. I’m excited as a Fever fan to watch her grow as a pro! The best ever? Who knows, but we are gonna find out soon enough!
No, the eligibility rules should not be changed! The reason women’s basketball is becoming more popular is players stay, and give the fans buy-in. The one-and-done phenomenon causes fans not to care. The rule also results in college degrees and time for players to live a true college experience. Greed is not everything. Can we just do something right for a change, instead of succumbing to the nose candy of instant gratification?
Great perspective. The video says otherwise, but your point is absolutely correct.
Yeah like seriously college basketball is the best thing for the women rn like the wnba doesn't even come on the tv
Clark gets 3.1 million from her NIL deals while in university which is probably more than she would earn as a rookie in the WNBA.
Womens basketball is not becoming more popular! We are hoping she doesn't come to Indy because the team is costing so much! The fever need to find a smaller cheaper city to play in! If she comes they may not want to move!
@@jasonmcnairjr.2643your right it cost Indy millions for the fever and we don't even watch or root for them!
She has the killer instinct that you cannot teach, similar to Kobe, Michael, and Larry. She also loves the game and seeing her supporting cast thrive. Who wouldn't want to be her teammate? I hope that CC and Bueckers play for the same WNBA team.
kobe? before or after the helicopter crash?
@@marknavarro953 😳
killer instinct of a kitten maybe
@@marknavarro953before
@@marknavarro953stupid remark.
One aspect of a player's true greatness is how that player elevates those around him/her.
No one does this better than Caitlin.
Clark is definitely is great when you consider that she elevates players with average talent. THe team around her at Iowa are not top level recruits. You can see they depend on Caitlin's court vision and ability to draw defensive attention. Also one of Caitlin's weaknesses when she was younger was that she would get into shooting slumps and compound them with careless mistakes. She has really been limiting that this season. You can argue that Clark still isn't the best defender, (though she's improved) but the tremendous pressure she puts on defenses with her range and ability to find the open teammate offsets any defensive deficiencies she might have.
Dam good. Someone like her doesn't come around very often. She is the best thing that has happened to sports in a long time.
next to Doncic and JOKIC yes.
@user-ry2ye1un3p Absolutely agree. She seems to be doing everything right. Young, good looking, smart and has good parents, family and puts out a good vibe, everybody's friend. I hope God gives her the strength and insight to stay humble. Now let's get a championship!🐐🏀 🏆
Yes, she is a generational talent.
there are plenty of great women basketball players in college Iowa just did a great PR job on Caitlyn
@@jeffrey-me9by yep, you're bald. lmao...jealous fat people make me say: "your godmyth watches you whack and frowns on that sin"....trolling trolls be funnnnnnn lmao wheeeeeeee
She's good enough to shut Reese and the coach and LSU team up
ANGEL REESE JOINS THE ELITE

Angel Reese is a woke crybaby .
@@rosegombos2120the elite don’t cry like a child when they lose
Angel Reese is an amazing basketball player. It doesn’t take dissing her to make Caitlin Clark great.
@lorettarichard3610
She is no comparison to Caitlin .
She showed her true colors, as did her teamates by dissing the American National Anthem . Many people lost respect after that .
Caitlin Clark, besides being an incredible basketball player, is a very good, down to earth human being. She is likable and understands her fame and play is making women's basketball better. I am excited to see what she does in the WNBA.
Rarely does iowa even get noticed in the country but when it does im gonna roar about it. Go Hawks.
you gonna yell go Hawks when Caitlyn is in WNBA making millions?
@@jeffrey-me9by She should play for Ice Cube. She's going to be treated like sh*t in the WNBA. They can't realize when a sure thing can actually make them profitable for once. How much money did Taurasi bring in for the WNBA? Oh that's right $0.
@@jeffrey-me9by yeah it's called being a true Hawkeye fan
@@jeffrey-me9byYes, of course. Hawkeye fans remain Hawkeye fans.
Haven’t paid much attention to her on the defensive end. Obviously she can shoot. Just as impressive to me is her court awareness and how she distributes the ball to teammates. She definitely elevates their game which, I feel, is the ultimate measure of greatness. It’ll be fun to see if she can continue that in the WNBA.
Let's be honest it's about the offense way more in women leagues... But she actually made me sit down and watch women basketball hopefully she can bring more fans to the wnba that'll be great for them.
@@orlandowilliamson691isn’t the opposite the truth? That defence is way more important in women’s ball? They can’t dunk and have slower explosiveness. Meaning playing defense is easier and more vital to the game. For men, they have players like Ja morant who will beat the entire team if he has a lane. You can’t really defend that. Meaning your best bet is to out offence his team by mismatching
@@samueltrinh3850 see I know what your saying but you gotta think I'm talking women's basketball it really doesn't take much defense for them to miss they blow layups back to back wide open, But if you watch NBA the defense wins usually those guys not missing those shots because their just far too skilled...
WNBA will tear her to shreads period!!!! Watch her fall from grace.
I’m calling it, she will break the assist record in the WNBA her rookie year. Her passing game is next level. When she has teammates than can actually catch them all and finish to the hoop? It’ll be unstoppable
The game between LSU and Iowa was very entertaining. It was as good as anything I have seen with the men's tournament. Both teams were well coached and the players were solid on the fundamentals. The difference in the outcome was Caitlin Clark hitting NBA 3 point shots. Though Angel Reese is no slouch. Both teams were impressive to watch.
not well-coached at all lol nobody could guard CC 1 on 1, that's a coaches ERR
@@RedPillRebel2 Defenders have tried to stop her throughout the year. That is not a coaching err that's just how good she is.
@@kermitefrog64 Pay attention, jr. THEY DIDNT DOUBLE TEAM HER. let that sink in snapperhead lol. when she IS double-teamed she's not as GOOD offensively. THINK now. does god watch you whack? is that the trigger i pwned you in as well? THEND lolol
Woman is amazing,hits deep 3 pointers easily,assists,go to basket,midrange and very good free throw shooter!
And probably can take D
You couldn't pay me to watch an NBA game. When they changed the rules so certain players can take three steps before they shoot and are exempt from fouling drove me away.
I enjoy the women's game because (at least for the most part) I can still recognize that there are rules.
the nba has no D. it's all fake Offense ........RIP NBA fixed games.
Nobody is going to.
@@ChristopherSmithNYCthe lsu vs Iowa game was the most viewed basketball game of the year wdym
She will be the most important name in women's basketball history. Watching her and Angel Reese is actually exciting, something WNBA games severely lack.
are you forgetting Diana Taurausi of UCONN HUSKIES compare Citlyn to her and you come up way short on your statement not to mention names like Staley, Swoopes and Sue Bird among others greater than Caitlyn how can you say she will be greatest name against Taurausi and UCONN HUSKIES go home
You're forgetting Diana And Maya
I want her to win the NCAA Championship
That would indeed be a fairy tale ending. Cheers from the Philippines.
Iowa will win
Iowa =83
Uconn=76
IMO.....
last game of her college career. i hope she wins it all
No Way South carolina dominates they have 5 excellent players and a great bench and coach far superior to Iowa one player does not win a game single handed it is impossible. FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The feeling of success while playing on a team sport is truly like no other. It's the best feeling ever.
if u really want to know how great she is look at the difference between the arenas from the start to the beginning
from the start to the beginning is redundant dude. lol.
It’s crazyyyyy. Totally empty freshman year. Fully packed senior year.
@@ktkingster
Her freshman year was the Covid year with cardboard cutouts as the fans.
@@RedPillRebel2 He probably meant start to finish.Don't be a hater.We all make mistakes.There has only been one perfect person,walk on this earth.And that was 2000 years ago.
Hell yeah. Go Clark! Go Hawks!! 🔥
The most impressive thing to me about Clark is that she can shoot from about as deep as any player, men's or women's. She has Steph Curry range, and she hits those at a solid clip.
Wow. I literally care more about her than I ever have about the WNBA put together. For the record, I’m transitioning away from enjoying watching the major pro sports, but this likable superstar is compelling to watch!
I find it crazy that she was ranked the 4th in her school class. Is it because her competitors had much better stats or is it because her stats didn't garner as much respect because the level of High School basketball in Iowa wasn't as high as in other states?
They probably thought 'she wont get these shots off on girls taller than her'
skin color is why
@@RedPillRebel2suuuuuuuure
@@RedPillRebel2if she didn't win notationals obviously she wouldn't be ranked 1 even if she is
@@RedPillRebel2 Silly comment given who was ranked ahead of CC.
The viewership records she has smashed in the last 3 games of the tournament are a sign of how much people love to watch her play! I have never watched a single minute of women’s basketball in my life before this year - I tuned into all those games
Same.And I will be watching Fever games since i was born and live in Indiana!
Great shooter indeed. In the clutch and under pressure.
we will see if she can handle the WNBA is a tougher world

The people of the Philippines know their basketball. Much respect from 🇺🇸
Best female basketball player of all time, the fans she brought to the game proves it even more then her astonishing record breaking numbers!!
🤮🤮🤮🤮
She is so good, that instead of "Angel" reflecting on her loss, she played the V card and talked about anything but basketball. Funny how she never did that after a win.
she is the real Queen and Barbie of women´s Basketball , and she doesnt need the eyelashes and makeup on the field to make her the wonder woman
Your comment is no better than the ones that call CC "a dude." Let's keep the focus on her play, not on whether she wears lashes or makeup on the court.
When Clark gets in the WNBA, I'm going to drive or fly to Indiana and watch her play. I live in Texas. I wouldn't do that for any other WNBA player. FYI, I watched two WNBA games in Charlotte NC, when they had a team and both games were dull. Clark has a chutzpah, charisma and daring-do that I see few other WNBA or NCAA women's bb players display.
Lifetime Hawkeye fan and Iowa resident here. You “get it” and put your $ where you mouth is. My wife and I may travel to see a game or two; wish we could afford to see them all!
She's more of a Bird type of player than Curry. Her passing skills and ability to know exactly where her teammates are/going to be is incredible. If you're old enough to have seen Bird play you'll see the similarities.
but she is not as tall as Bird so how can you compare the 2
@@jeffrey-me9by Because they have a very similar style of play and attitude. Pretty easy.
She's like pistol Pete more than anyone
@@jeffrey-me9by Because their play is similar.Caitlin can hit 3 pointers like Bird did.Also,Bird was an exceptional passer.So is Clark!
What a hero. And The absolute GREATEST ever women's collegiate basketball superstar!

Shes has that killer jumpshot. Quite often she shots way beyond the ark. Shes got mens 3 point range which setts her apart. Very well rounded as well.
Cait the Grait. The way certain people can't hide their hate for this girl is just comical to me.
Wild 😜 Watermelon 🍉 Pop Tarts
It's jealousy.They all wish they were as good as her.
Caitlin Clark doesn’t need the wNBA the wNBA needs Caitlin Clark honestly hope she takes up ice cubes offer far better and more lucrative deal but whatever the lady GOAT decides hope it works out for the best she is amazing.
She went to the WNBA.
The fact were watching this video is a testament to how good she is.
Also, she must be incredibly strong seeing how she fights through contact when shes driving the lane and obviously her shooting range is elite. She’s got NBA range. If she forces the rest of women’s basketball to play up to her standard, it could see a huge uptick in viewership
but can she rebound? can she block shots? how tall is she? has she won any championships?
@@jeffrey-me9bylol, maybe you’re being sarcastic. The video mentions that she has put up great rebounding numbers, especially for a guard. Also at 6 feet she is tall for a guard in women’s basketball.
I am actually excited as fuck to see Caitlin Clark in the WNBA. I have a 2 year old daughter who always wants to pass me my basketball, Clark is going to be her Jordan

Leave it to the transphobes to bring hate and bigotry to the comments.
@@noraboerner6437 nobody's afraid of transgender people. I know word definitions are difficult sometimes for people who support this - but "phobia" has a very specific meaning and it doesn't apply here.

The only "hate" is that government is allowing biological men onto women's sports teams. Start trans teams if they want but a trans woman is not a biological woman. Obviously. Otherwise we wouldn't need the distinction of "trans"
She is the Greatest.
Yes.All time =leading scorer in NCAA basketball.That includes the men.
she may not be the best women's basketball player ever but she's definitely the most impactful in my eyes...

I saw Sabrina live for her college years and it's the same thing, there is a gene for a kind of bizarre no fear no doubt state. Kobe and Sabrina recognized that in each other and bonded.
They should not change the eligible rules to the WNBA. It was those changes that ruined the mens NCAA, and ruined many young men not ready to compete sgainst fully developed men. And the emphasis of being students, which i believe is vital to prepare the men for when the NBA dream is over, for many early.
Yes
Look at those empty stands at home games get freshman year. My how things changeddd
All that and no tattoos, how could she not me the GOAT.
Greatest all-time #1
even against Diana Taurausi of UCONN HUSKIES? The girl is not even tall and caannot rebound and play defense plus you are saying better than Swoopes,Staley Sue Bird and others?

Well she's here.There are videos on youtube of her practices,with the Fever team.
The WNBA is the charity league compared to NCAAW pay for their stars
Simple pleasure. She's just a joy to watch.
No denying that she dominates her peers, but I dont understand why people are trying to act like she could play in the nba. She is only 6' and 150lbs, the competition is totally different.
No one is saying she can play in the NBA.I have not heard one person say that.
Caitlin has accomplished so much . Beast
Comparing CC22 highlights to WNBA highlights she certainly seems better then most of them. I understand that the opposition might be different in the WNBA but looking at some other college players right now they seem really good as well. I think this new generation of players looks more talented on awerage and I think they will translate well to the WNBA.
She's amazing. As someone who has a daughter who is a stud athelete, I appreciate the positive attention she is bringing to women's sports. I hope that this opens up more opportunities for females to make a good living playing sports should they put in the hard work to become excellent.
The only thing I tire of is some people talking about how she might do playing against the men. She's 6ft tall and like 155lbs... and doesn't have testosterone... it is a ridiculous comparison. Its like how Serena Williams wouldn't even beat the 100 ranked male but that doesn't mean she isn't one of if not the biggest tennis super stars on the planet.
Every sporting person sees her stroke and it’s undeniable. It’s also extremely impressive how she carries a team with her overall stats…those are some GAUDY overall stat lines. Even if that was your only goal, that’s really hard to do for men or women. But they win games too. Playing for the championship.
Also very crucially, it’s an inspirational thing with young girls, for them to see men and women alike genuinely respect a female ball player to THIS degree. I’m usually not cheesy like that, but it’s very legit praise, not fake, so that has to mentioned as that extra kick that is making her skyrocket as a brand, I think.
Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese are the best female players I have ever seen., so many PLEASE 🙏 STOP 🛑 THE Racial DIVIDE OF THE HUMAN RACE.

Luke Doncic said she's a better shooter than he is.
@@SpookyApparition Simple ass kissing. She's a terrific female player. I love watching her, but as so often nowadays, sycophants compare women to men in sports, it's not fair to the women.
If she can be compared to men then she is a BEAST.
thats right men could care less about an overated woman just beacuse she does not wear makeup why is everybody so hung up on the waering eyelashes and make up that does not affect how a player performs get off of it
The major argument against staying in college was they were not getting paid while there. Now with NIL they have no reason to leave for the draft early. Men’s college basketball will probably try to extend the time athletes have to stay in college now that they are being paid.
Comparing men's against woman's it not the same. The competition is way different
Every doubting person should watch this before talking about her
I think she would be a terrific shooting guard in the WNBA. Not a point guard, as her ball handling isn't good enough at that level. Love her attitude, and her vision. Strange rotation on her shot, but has managed to make it work extremely well.
Wow, she is not a point guard?? Let's see you play at her level.
Read what I said.@@pyap9779
She led the country in assists at least twice. She's a natural point guard, the best I've ever seen.
@@prusso329 I didn't say she wasn't good at passing, did I? Larry Bird, Maravich, etc were also great passers. You don't have to be a point guard. But her long range shooting ability is even more valuable. Lugging the ball and shooting is too much with a WNBA schedule.
She has the best shooting form I've ever seen a woman have
Let's not abuse Pistol Pete's record when he didn't have the three-point shot or shot clock. He scored his points in three seasons. The records need to be separated by significant rule changes. It's the same in the NFL. The Dolphins are held as some sort of wonder team for going 14-0 in the regular season and winning the Super Bowl. They ended with a record of 17-0. The Patriots went 16-0 in the regular season but lost the Super Bowl, ending with an 18-1 record. I think the latter is a much more difficult task and more worthy of praise. Yeah, she's a great basketball player but don't forget to compare oranges to oranges.
You can say the same for a lot of records.For example: Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs in 154 game season.Everyone else had 162 games.Or that Barry Sanders broke Walter Peyton's rushing record in a 16 game season.Where as Payton,had a 14 game season.Records are made to be broken.There are a few that will never be broken though.Such as Cy Young's 511 lifetime wins as a pitcher.Or Ty Cobb's,lifetime .367 batting average.Those two, will stand till the end of time.
When did they change the spelling to Iuwa?
Caitlin should just play in Europe. She is too good, too white, too straight, too patriotic and too Catholic for the WNBA.
The interesting thing about CAREERS is exactly that, the timing. The current phenom is Caitlin Clark. Is she the BEST OF THE BEST, or just another tick of the clock. Caitlin Clark will have to settle that story on her own merits.
The interesting thing about College and Pro Sports is the fact that there is few chumps in Pros. You could run up your score against College players though. Bear with me. We all saw over the years so many "phenom" College QB's coming out of Texas and other places. Best damn QB in the last half century we were told.
Then reality strikes, its called playing in the Pros. And the wheels come off the phenom cart. I'm not saying Caitlin Clark will be a Pro BUST. But the GOAT designation has to be EARNED. Only the media keep bestowing GOAT because its easy to do, and harder to earn.
The problem I'm seeing with liberal media is, they are tagging an unfair SAVOIR of the WNBA unto her shoulders. Fact is though, and it can't be avoided. The product the WNBA is at best poor, and the financial situation of the WNBA worse.
Think about this for a second, Caitlin Clark would be better suited financially speaking to quit basketball and be a College Sports Commentator and earn a huge profit calling Weekend Games. Her stint as an WNBA player will be Contract Controlled as per the Leagues Financial Office. She would be capped at $200 Grand. Her money though would come from endorsements.
Now as for the WNBA itself. Why would you trash a commodity that could possibly bring in more money to increase your players contract talks. There lies the problem, both Reese and Clark and some other interesting NCAA Players can't save the WNBA. The intrinsic thing about all of them coming into the WNBA, is the apple only shines for so long, then it withers away. How long can Clark & Company draw fans into an orphan duck sports league where even women won't buy a ticket.
There is a reason why the WNBA is a financial failure. It isn't Men treating it badly. It's the ambivalence of Women not showing up to Women's sporting events. Women are more interested in the cosmetic use of the Kardasians, than watching any Women's Sports.
Someone ask the goats Bryd and Jordan what they think.
It's Bird
Yep
Statistics aside:
1. Paige and Caitlin played on the same US team as high schoolers, talent wise it was known that Paige was the better player and Clark a close second. It was also known that Clark was a slightly more prolific scorer but Paige was all around better. This observation tested true into their freshman years as Paige carried UCONN single handedly to the final four and POY as a freshman. (CC would get her POY eventually...)
2. Multiple reasons why Paige would never outscore CC, playing for Geno, playing for UCONN, Geno's coaching style, and the elephant in the room... CC actually HAD a better supporting cast in IOWA and they were built and played around her talents and were coached as Iowa's offensive strategy!!! UCONN's supporting cast of players actually nullified Paige's talents and hold her back, and Aaliyah also had to get her 20 points. In addition, the team they were supposed to have was never present when Paige was able to play.
3. Also, due to the Strength of Schedule UCONN plays in November/December, their team is often beat up. Truth is, if the team were healthy, Paige would be relegated to averaging about 20 points per game, but would have probably won the National Championship for another 4-peat...
4. Semantics, in men's BB, people are either Lebron or Michael. Paige or CC depends on what you value for your team. A singular star scoring 60 or a 20 point triple double or championships?
Caitlin holds the all time NCAA scoring record.That includes mens.Nuff said.
Can’t wait to see the match up
SABRINA Ionescu (NY Liberty) VS CAITLIN CLARK (IN Fever) two best females shooters
In the 2024 NCAA Finals, towards the end of the loss, with SC in the lead, but Iowa still in the game, she forced shots. Had she been more patient, the Hawkeyes would have had a better chance of winning. She is a great player though.
CC should be play in the NBA. Her logo accuracy is NBA caliber talent. Play UP!
She's pretty good. She is doing things I've not seen girls do, the fadeaway shots. She isn't particularly fast though off the bounce. She is 5'11 so she is taller than most guards in the girls game.
uhhh cool comment
Jerk. Would you call college hoops the "boys game"? Its a womens' game, not a girls' game. They stopped being "girls" around the age of 13.
She's 6' tall. Legitimate.
When stars are assigned to recruits, evaluators fail to consider intelligence enough. Iowa is loaded with high performing students. That can often mean a player can compensate for a physical weakness by anticipating and recognizing what the opponent will want to do.
This is a really good point. Sports is a big part physical skill of course, but intelligence also plays a significant part, particularly in basketball where the players on the court run a fair amount of the game themselves (unlike baseball/softball or football where coaches make play by play decisions for the players).
I wish her and Paige were put on the same pedestal. They’re both the best of all time. Next to come JuJu Watkins.
Caitlin is soooooooo good she is my fav
She is awesome against her peers!!!!!
Imagine if Steph Curry and Pistol Pete had the luxury of playing against women.
Imagine if steph Curry and Pistol Pete married, and had a daughter.It would be Caitlin Clark
In terms of marketing herself, it was a blessing in disguise that she "stayed home" by attending Iowa. She was essentially a big fish in a small pond. Had she attended a larger, more established school like UConn which was her first choice she would've sat on the bench the first year. Second, she would've been surrounded by higher talent that would've stolen her thunder. Last, there's no professional sports teams in Iowa so high school and college athletics dominate local news. And of course, she benefitted tremendously through today's social media...something that female athletes didn't enjoy to the same degree 10-20 years ago.
Caitlyn Clark I didn't even know about her. I saw something recently she broke the record for most points I think. She can do it all. Like Michael Jordan. That's who she reminds me of.
She can shoot and score like Jordan.But she also can pass the ball like Bird.
