The hunter becomes the hunted...😅 Gonna be a show! Love C Miller!
Miller is such a positive coach and you can see all the players hustle and smile. 🏀 should be a safe clean joyful game. WNBA lost that 16 years ago when I stopped watching the games 😮
Looking forward to seeing changes to bring it back ❤
We all know the rookies thrive off of competition. This will be a tough match and make everyone second guess why Reese &Clark did not make the team. ❤ let’s go Rookies🎉
It would have been nice to have added them both even as ambassadors if not a lot of playing time. Still think Clark will get on this year's team they have a number of injuries at the guard position.
@@politicallil7060 agreed! I even would have settled for having them on the bench and only play 5 minutes lol
Can you say political
This was always be a thing. Nneka and Arike have been snubbed multiple times by Team USA.
Yep. Arike said on another pod that its political and she could tell from the vibe in practices that she wasn't going to be considered
WITH ARIKE ANG CAITLIN CLARK IN FRONT...IM EXCITED TO SEE HOW DIANA TAURASI'S TEAM DEFEND THRIR TURF..
Yeah I always thought more than just Caitlin was snubbed. These 2 people especially
It's politics no doubt they are both needed as this team has a lot of injuries
Yes. Many don't realize this.
The one word that describes the all star team defeating the US Olympic team: priceless. This game will probably set an attendance record.
Both teams are stacked! Should be a great competitive game.
Cheryl Miller is an undisputed legend. Really hope she’s in the corner at three years when the W can renegotiate. It’s long overdue. Adam needs to start a divestment plan. Owners, players and the league deserve better
Cheryl Miller is the perfect coach to take advantage of Caitlin Clark's skill set.
But she said she has ZERO interest in becoming a full time coach.
She most certainly is.
Agreed. Hope this Convinces Her to take over the Fever
@@jdneely9939 the tools she will give Clark in these moments matter. CC definitely need different coaches
It's an all-star game. She's not really coaching lol
Nneka was league MVP in 2016 and should have been on the team then.
Exactly, Arike Nneka and JJ
I totally agree with you about the WNBA needing their own bully to negotiate future contracts without involvement of the NBA. Similar to Billie Jean King and what she meant the forming of a WTA and doing their own contract negotiations and getting away from the ATP which was the men's tennis association who did all the negotiating for the women. Billie Jean King was really tough advocate and a strong personality who led the charge for women and tennis. The WNBA needs a personality like her. Cheryl Miller could be that person?
I think it’s going to be a great game. I do think team w can pull of the win. It’s so much talent on both teams it’s going to be crazy.
For me, Arike is one of those players that's impossible to ignore! Just like CC. She doesn't need the media spotlight? Or cause some drama on social media to create some manufactured beef? She lets her game do all the talking on court! And I really respect that!
Different strokes for different folks, as my mom would say.
Cheryl Miller is going to talk her ish, okay? 😂 And she can back it up too so this should be good. LOL.
I believe the WNBA should pay more attention to rookies on a year-to-year basis in order to expand its fan base. The upcoming rookie class will be no exception. By providing playing time to these rookies, the WNBA can achieve unprecedented growth and reach.
Go team W
Yeah they have a chance to grow the league a lot more next year with some of the rookies coming in.
Agree. 100%
This is a true statement.
The WNBA has been promoting the "right people". Even when they were not popular. Brittney Grinder is the best example because oversize players are not reliable. being able to stand and just shoot over everyone with less effort. doesn't translate to play yard. What the younger players are doing is based on the men's game. They are bring that style of play but it get's rejected because that is not the WNBA. The game is not evolving to keep it fun and interesting.
Maybe Mark Davis can help with these negotiations in the future .. he seems fully invested in the W, not just the Aces
I love your work and knowledge
Cheryl Miller should be commissioner
They should have waited until after the Olympics to negotiate.
WELL..THATS WHAT I WANT SO I'LL BE WATCHING THAT PARTICULAR ALL-STAR GAME...I WOULD LIKE TO SEE CAITLIN CLARK ang ANGEL REESE DOMINATE THE USA Olympic team...SEE YOU TOMORROW...GUYS..🤣🤣🤣
This Game is going to be Epic.
I don’t think so they all at the pool chilling 😂😂 in that hot ass sun 😂 they going to be burnt out
Yes $2B is not cutting it.
SO true what Cheryl said. The next 4 years, the wave of players coming thru is going to be off the chain. But we will be grateful for what they send down the shute.
I agree it should be higher given that the crowds at WNBA is now drawing I’m not a fan of sports and knew none of the players or teams till this year because of CC and I never saw you till I enjoyed your perspective of the game
Can't see All Star Team meshing effectively but let's see.
This all star game I'm sure will be much more competitive than the men's all star game 😅😅
Yep
I am not sure about it being more competitive. I think it will all come down to what mind set that TEAM USA comes with. If they take the game serious, then it will be competitive but if they see it as just another practice before Paris then it will not really be. Based on what I have heard the players saying leading up to this game, Team USA is all about getting to Paris to win the gold medal and are not really interested to play this game.
I think team usa beating the olympics team would be a real wake up call to the selection committee about the danger of playing politics in the selection process
No, it wont. It will say what most people who have been paying attention over the years have been saying, this is not a game that TEAM USA is interested in playing at this stage. There is NO WAY that they will be going hard here and risk injury to any of their players ahead of the Olympics. Why would they do that? To satisfy some idiots? I don't think so. I see them giving it a go for the first half and then shutting down after that.
Id go 1000% for cheryl miller..plus those who want to show out.. Yes!!!!
Enriqa did this that. She took her self out of the running and yes she could see the writing on the wall and she came out and said as much
The W needs 4 more teams asap
ASAP. They need to bring the Comets back. They are like the Lakers, Celtics of the W. It’s criminal not having them around.
@@leiannb.wrytes8893 facts
YES, YES, and YES!
Cheryl reeves also said similarly to this too in the interview here as well
Nneka was not the reigning mvp in 2021 but agree she should have made it that year and 2016 when she won mvp that season
Seeing Aja Wilson CC and AB chiiling and CC saying we going to win as she is eats her popcorn
Yes LOVE you such great job ❤
I know Cheryl Miller said she doesn't want to coach for the W, but I think she will be coaching the Valkyries next year, or maybe the Fever. That's my prediction!
I don’t think the coach of the fever gets fired unless coach Cheryl wants to coach or there is a better coach
Will you be doing play by play?? I dont have ESPN. Really want to see this!!
Allstar is on ABC 730pm CST
Boston, J. Jones, and Bonner ...I felt could have made it before A.Thomas
Drama aside, this is a perfect scenario for Team USA’s Olympic prep. They get a full exhibition game to try different player combos against an opponent with as much talent, depth, and motivation as could be assembled anywhere in the world.
During this break, Caitlin gonna come back and smoke. She is so focused, and she enjoyed playing with team WNBA. Being able to enjoy the game elavates your game. If you watch all the women who played they were smiling and enjoying that moment. I enjoyed watching the game last night. And yes I believe a Coach can change your mindset. Imma start a campaigne FREE CAITLIN AND ALLIYAH. 😅😂
Great video! ❤
I can’t believe someone would even think that Caitlin Clark would be traded unbelievable unthinkable 😂
What a lot of people does not seem to understand is that no coach can make up for a player physical and or skill set that a player May have.,. Even if the coach is John wooden or Phil Jackson
It will be a slap on the face of Cheryl Reeve if team WNBA beats the U. S. Team. I think there will be a complete overhaul of the Team USA.
NOT. Team USA are all about getting to Paris to win the OLYMPICS and not some All-Star game and winning or losing it wont say squat.
Thanks!
Thank you!!
I would love to see a late announcement that Reeve is sick and Christie Sides is filling in. Team USA would get clobbered.
Kelsey plum and Jackie are in her second Olympics they did 3x3 and won gold!
Maybe, but Team USA has a defensive edge. Who is CC going to guard? There are no scrubs to assign her on the USA team. Mitchell is better defensively, but only average. Arika and McBride are excellent defenders so hopefully they play at least 25 minutes each. Wilson and Collier are going to be tough to score on in the post. Very tough. I don’t think Team USA is as injured as some would like to believe. I’d like to see the all stars do it but I don’t believe they will. I’m taking Team USA by 12. Aja gets most outstanding player.
Hambu can play all 3 frontcourt pos
I kinda think the all stars will crush the Olympic team. The young player will want it way more and aren’t half the Olympic team injured anyway?
What does "Beat the Brakes off" refer too? Is it a slap at those that are holding back or trying to slow the womens sports progress and innovation? It just seems like a really specific shot at the USA monopoly.
DT being in her 6th Olympics is greedy
Un-American, you could say. Completely goes against what seemed to be the spirit of the Team USA program. not satisfied with tying some of her teammates, this trip will cement her attendance record as unattainable. Clarkwill have to go to the Olympics at 46 to tie the standing record. It just doesn't seem to be an Olympic thing to do, smells more like the UConn locker room than Team USA. But Clark's changed women's basketball for sure. Nothing matters anymore. Records dont mean anything, and the things Team USA youth coaches suggested players do to have a chance at this year's team, like gold medalist Aliyah Boston winning a national championship. or Clark's phenomenal career in the NCAA. The whole thing stinks. Aliyah Caitlin and Sabrina, look like a pretty good group of rookie Olympians to me.
Tarausi & Biden both have dementia and should both resign for the good of the Country! 😂😂😂
It really is, especially since she's a shell of her former self. It's sad to see. Go enjoy your family and let these rookies get a taste!!
@@MrSoulauctioneer Yeah, un-American to turn down an invitation from your country to serve on the Olympic team. (SMH)
@@SeshatPG82 yeah when the selection committee remembers they work for Team USA and grow some loyalty to their players. As it stands team usa doesn't represent our country, this is the second time they rejected young players for less effective older players, with more loyalty to certain players than the team aka country. It would be more patriotic to turn them down than represent them.
I think the Olympics team already know that people are rooting for them to fail especially because of the "Clark snub" so they are going to bring their A game today even though they usually don't give a fuck about the all-star game because of scare of injury
They already banged up so they going to play coy
That is terrible, still support your country. SMH
Cannot help but remind us of the Longest Yard both the Burt Reynolds and the Adam Sandler Movies Prison Guards against the Inmates Team Wnba is the Mean Machine luv to see Wnba get the W give Team Usa something to think about on their way to France
She would kill as a replacement for Sides in Indiana. Cheryl Miller actually likes Caitlin's game and would work with her, instead of against her.
I'll agree on two of the three...
Mission accomplished!
I am willing to bet that Team USA is not as motivated as the WNBA All-Star team because let us be real, they have 'bigger fish to fry' in a few weeks. Listening to Aja and a few others weeks ago, you could tell they just want to get to Paris and win the gold medal. If they play like how they are accustomed to playing which is just for fun, then yes the All-Star team will win and people might want to read more into it but I wont. I do not expect Team USA to put itself all out there and risk any injury for a game that has no reward.
cant wait!!!!
When the WNBA can put out a product without the NBA- meaning when they can actually make money(revenue in the positive)without the NBA then I definitely think it’s fair for them to negotiate there own deal. They need a new marketing strategy team to make the WNBA more out there for people to come to the games and the women players need to be honest with themselves too. I’m tired of hearing the excuses..
You not wrong
The All-Stars have no pressure. They are supposed to lose. If they win, Cheryl Reeve will never hear the end of it.
There were lots os snubs so not surprised they want to win. Rejection is great motivation
The rookies need a break.
I totally agree. Only 10 made an active roster, and 2 of the rookies are seriously hurt. Their bodies have to be exhausted.
2.2 B over 11 years is not enough. However, I wonder what they would have gotten without the big NBA hammer negotiating.
I believe she stayed out of the 3 point contest to help highlight other W ladies
I said the same thing she has sense enough to know you can't be in a league of your own by your damself. Plus she didn't need the money but some of the others players could use the bonus.
Great post and someone gets it! She has been saying that for weeks, "I don't want to take attention away from the players." CC has done her part to bring attention, and the players are doing theirs to take advantage of the opportunity. 40% growth in viewership means it's working.
No she didn't. According to Clark, she skipped it to get rest. No altruistic reasons, just practical self-care.
This game has all the makings of a very strong WE told you moment, a game where the US Team management and the WNBA, might just be shown how much of the disrespect shown to Clark and others by them is not warranted at all and might just show how stupid they are.
If Clark and company light up the US team, I believe that they will, and this all depends on how much time Clark gets on the court. This has the makings of being a long night of the old-school players and the US Coach.
Clark will be spoon-feeding players who know how to receive a pass, shoot 2Pt, 3Pt and make layups,
Clark will be spoon Feeding - Boston (f we know how that goes), Jonquel Jones (C) FG% 55.7%, Nneka Ogwumike (F) FG% 52.24, 3Pt% 41%, Kayla McBride (G 3pt 42.7%), Brionna Jones (F 53% FG) Arike Ogunbowale (G)
What you mean Clark and company.why it can't be Reese and company.you talking like CC is running this.

reese is not even in the conversation as Clark.

@@DonaldBruceSmith she got to be because every time you mention cc name you mentioned Reese name so she's in the convention one way or the other
@@EddieBuie-fk6gi First point, Reese is not in this comment, so why lie about what I did not say - just asking
In my opinion the Olympic team are to confident. Go Allstars!
Catllin said she ain't got nun to prove in all-star. She gonna be her I think assist she gonna shoot these all-star games can get no defense offense just let players score we a see I think CC let them shine might set assists record tonight just might cook. Boston and Catlin on MVP watch tonight. CC I want your best well tonight CC will give you 30 or 40 right team she got it tonight could get ugly really
Good DT🏀🏀🏀🏀
If they had chennedy carter the Olympic team wouldn't stand to chance
Facts! OMG big facts! 💯
Change is always hard to deal with even if it's to your own benefit, and many of the WNBA lifers will have to go before the league can move forward.
the LEAGUE needs broadcasting deals, the team owners need attendance. I believe around half of the teams operate at a profit, I don't understand how they survive if they don't. Of course the NBA props up the WNBA, aint like they founded it. Hey let's give up! Not gonna happen while the NBA is rolling in the funds, and anything they can do to make WNBA make more without sniping theirs, they'll do.
Team WNBA will have the fan support at the game. The Caitlin Clark effect! Lmao 😂😂
I really believe they all want to beat the Olympic team.
Will team usa win at Olympics. Most likely but I don’t believe it will be east as they went with the dinosaurs essentially.
I remember when German mens soccer team also went with their older players with more experience instead of bringing younger players. They were most experienced team on the field. Didn’t work out well when all the other teams were faster and when they got possession tge German players couldn’t catch them.
How Taurasi played up her three national championships. Ok we can’t deny that. But she conveniently forgot the championships they won before her and after she left. UConn has always been a powerhouse team. She was in a good team and yes let’s say team. She did not win those individually
You don’t have to like that she’s on the team, but let’s not pretend as if DT wasn’t a phenomenal player. Check her resume. She’s a legend without question. She’s the one person on the team, who’s been to multiple Olympics. I think two other players have been to 2-3 Olympics and the rest this is their first.
They want to show Team USA decision makers, that they picked the wrong squad.
I don't thing Team USA is going to take the gold this year, too old, hurt and slow.
Team WNBA is the team that should be representing our beautiful country!
Yes there are some phony headlines out there inferring that Griner has been booted off team USA which are not true. I saw one saying Tarausi is giving her spot to Caitlyn Clark. We know darn well that will never happen. Tarausi would play on crouthes and olympic team wuld allow it. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂 😂 😂. I don't blame her. I wouldn't give my spot up either
Ope Team WNBA gives them the business. I hope Reese and Clark ball out.
Of course the NBA is at the table , they pay the bills .
The entire Selection Committee needs to be changed; there is a clear Uconn bias.
I would love to see World basketball to adopt the old Figure Skating to have two teams to the World Championship if they were the last Champion. It meant once the country won the Gold Cup then the next tournament their country will allow to assemble 2 teams to go to the tournament. USA 1 and USA 2 ... like downhill sledging.... That would be lovely to see USA won both Gold and Silver and it meant they are LOADED with talents....
Arike should have been selected too, but withdrew cause of politics😢
I believe the W all stars will beat the US team😂😂 anyone can get got 🎉 💯
Beat the brakes off? What is that? BB players don't have any brakes! All have socks, one has balls.
I believe the Olympics was in 2020 and not 2021
It was postponed because of Covid.
Go WNBA All Stars beat the crap of team USA, I will be rejoicing.
Cheryl Miller it's ova Reggie miller I saw you boy just came home from church seen you make like almost 10 points in 30 seconds was crazy it's ova Cheryl just talking AB and Catllin only can get miller coach I think. Mark Jackson and Lisa Leslie my other 2 candidates. Is what it is fever for now stuck. Greater later
Answer to question: why not?! They did four years ago!
Caitlin already has 3 Gold Olympic medals.🎉 Hope some of these women will represent USA in the next Olympics!!! Especially Aliyah, Caitlin, Angel, Chennedy
Where is Skylar diggins?
Get the phase faster..Team WNBA will surely win..Team USA with their ages and lack of players due to injury should lose a bit of stamina at the 2nd half😅😅😅
team WNBA is more hungry to win especially Angel Reese
Caitlin "Clark Kent"..
It would be so boring if they weren't trying to beat them
The Olympic team is a joke, a very slow, very old joke 😂❤ their so called point guards are not just past it they should be retired!
Caitlin Clark's should be viewed in perspective to the fact that she has only one teammate, Alijah Boston.
No hyperbole the rest of her squad is the worst. Whether it's ineptness, incompetence, or merely grossly selfish like Kelsey Mitchell and Erica Wheeler.
And of course this doesn't even take into account the worst coach in the WNBA. No exaggeration when your coach a so called defensive specialist can't coach defense you know your in trouble.
Caitlin needs to demand that the GM and the Coach are fired or she will terminate the contract.
The WNBA cannot afford to lose Caitlin Clark to the Big 3 and to Europe. In fact Caitlin could play in Europe, Asia and Russia etc and become the biggest name in women's basketball.
Imagine her playing for Italy in the Olympics that's another nightmare scenario. 😂❤
Why not ???? Taurasi is a grandma… and Griner looks like mu other Grandma … walks around like she has a broken hip
Great more money for the coaches. The wnba players get nothing. The W have their billion dollar baby in Caitlin’s Clark. You m
They not only total embarresed them.
So much fot poltics in báketball
guess team usa is sure to win, it's more political here...
Also no disrespect to Lady Cheryl because she is a legend but you don’t need fair negotiating y’all need better marketing strategies and definitely better visionaries and it starts at the top. But I will say adding cc and Reese to the Olympics would have helped because they are the spark of why people are watching regardless of the haters.. Also a 8 billion value means that the womens are creating a amazing profit and since the Nba created the wnba they have lost money so much money people and I will also so that it has been some ego arrogance with the wnba too. 2.2 billion for a product that has not seen any profit for over 15 years is crazy… Name one business ever that has gotten 2.2 billion and never been in profit.. Now that’s crazy…. No business has ever in history. Again no disrespect to lady Cheryl but this proves again how arrogant the women are because to get 2.2 billion and your product has not produced any profit but instead lost so much money in 15 years is just crazy…
Over 11 years? That’s not enough money. It really wouldn’t matter how much they improved over time if they get trapped for 11 years with that pocket change.
First as you talked about the two Nigerian young ladies who played for the USA they both tried to play the USA basketball committee they were trying to play them against Nigeria saying if they don't make the USA team they're going to go play for Nigeria you can't do that that's what that's sorry coach at Las Vegas tried to do and what happened to backfired on her because she was pissed off that she couldn't make the Olympic team because she wasn't going to beat out Teresa Weatherspoon she wasn't going to be down on Stanley she was not going to be out there he said Edwards she was not going to beat out Ruthie Bolton and she was not going to be out Nikki McCray so she said I'm going to Russia and she went to Russia and she played two years for Russia and then she played in the Olympics and the US team beat the brakes offer they did her the way Tony got done when he was trying to get with the Chicago Bulls Michael Jordan Scottie Pippen put it on him he did not know what to do and that's what the US basketball team did to that sorry coach of the Nevada Aces out there in Las Vegas they put it on her you see how they tried to throw a bone to that side behind point guard who was at Louisiana state and who left Louisiana state now going to another school her third school she's sorry is all get out she can't defend she can't get off her shot with traffic it showed yesterday she made one jump shot don't be tripping and saying that clock is going to go out and show out she's only shooting 32 to 34% from three-point line why should she make the US Olympic team I believe USA committee for basketball jersey a decent job
Damn so she don’t wanna coach 😩😝
