Caitlin Clark brought me to the WNBA, but man there are some talented women in this league. A'ja Wilson is the truth. Loving this season.
Same here. There are ballers in the WNBA.
Well said bro
Odd, no one plays D on Aja? Isn't she the big threat? No double team, no traps, nothing.
Same. Wilson is unstopable. She can do it all.
Aja for my money is best player in the league and I don’t think it’s very close.
before this game she is at 7.6 after this game with 13 asst she is already tied for 1st with 7.9 assists. Another game with at least 10 assists she will lead with an 8 apg average
Shes also leading in assists now with 188 assists over Alyssa Thomas
@@yom0mma214she has played in two more games than Thomas
She is 7.8
Of course Theres talented players in a professional sports team….
She also leads in turnovers
Clark has so many records I need to start writing them down 😂😂😂
Clear ROTY!!!!
Caitlin Clark has scored or assisted on 232 Fever points in the last 5 games
The most in any 5 game span in #WNBA HISTORY
Last I looked, which was just now, Caitlin is currently leading the league in total assists with 188 and is .01 behind Cook for the lead in the per game average.
It’s not about CC finding her teammates it’s the fact her teammates are finally catching and finishing her passes they always been there
Yah and few assist they couldn't catch it Katie Lou couldn't catch it 3x in the fast break should have been easy basket.
Most of the time, Mitchell fumbled a couple easy bounce passes and several others as well. She could have had 20 assists easily.
^ BIG FACTS!
It’s the fact that the top 3 players on this team were missing!!
@@stevehardwick7285 So true they bubble it's like they're touching hot potatoe.
Caitlin Clark made me watch women’s basketball I never looked back go Caitlin Clark she is my goat special player special player my goodness, but shoutout to Wilson phenomenal basketball player no denying that at all
Aja wilson might have the smoothest game ive ever seen in womens basketball. Caitlin seems to have already figured it out just 60 percent in her rookie season. Thats scary stuff for the league.
She is definitely figuring out how to score yes but she needs to figure more. Right now she just looks like James harden to me not steph curry!!
@@mkingadiffernce😂😂😂😂
😂 she has nothing on Swoopes.
Let’s all go make fun of Sheryl Swoopes for her WILD take on Gil’s Show
She’s a hateful miserable person was fired from college basketball coaching for mistreating players who’s best years are way behind her. Now so just a lonely hateful person that’s only relevant for what she used to be. No need to pile on.
Who is Sheryl Swoopes?
I heard about Caitlin Clark or A'ja Wilson or Angel Reese or Kelsey Plum or .... but never heard this Sheryl Swoopes.
Funny how that works huh? 😂Maybe if this Swoopes person applies herself she would be relevant...
@@reddwarf666 google her
No one going say anything about how CC and her starting teammates are having to go up against a coach who seems to be working against them in sabotaging them every game in outright doing the job for the opponent in taking the ball out of CCs hands and putting wheeler in control of the game, then freezing her out of the game all but intentionally trying to loose the game…in 8:34 minutes and having a -16 ratings blowing their 30pt lead…of course they were frustrated.
I agree.The Erica substitution almost cost Fever this game and Sides has done this all season.Fever need to fire her or they will continue to be a Lossing franchise.
WHY are you speaking hard facts! Been saying this as often as I can. Sides is incompetent and sabotages CC! She should be fired now!
While , I do think that she is not the right coach for the team to win a chip… She’s not trying to sabotage… She’s trying to throw other looks because the fever had such a large lead… The mercury only had one star out of its core four and was able to cut it from a 30+ lead to a four-point deficit!
The hard truth is the fever need to get another good draft pick this year because no one in the league wants to come to Indiana and live in Clarks shadow or play in a place that is hostile to her teammates. They won’t talk about this… But it is true… MANY (not all) of her fans use her for their own personal reasons and LITERALLY THREATEN her teammates. And because of the salary cap you cannot offer good players a lot of $, no one is excited to come and play in Indiana… the women in the W play for passion and EVERYTHING in Indiana is about CC.
The sad thing is, CC herself want to focus on her teammates. I wish ppl would just let her play!
@@dylanloveskellytaylor4774 I do not know anyone that wants to play for a loosing team.The Fever have a loosing mentality.They have been loosing for over 6 years now.Playing under Clark shadows?They did not play under her shadows last season,where did that get them?The Lakers played under Magic and Lebron's shadow I guess.The Spurs played under Tim Duncan's shadow too.The Aces are playing under Wilson's shadow right now.
@@HonestLeighSpeaking The only people slamming her teammates are social media users, the local fans cheer them all on. Just get off social media and anyone joining the team would be fine.
Caitlin got 400 points and 175 assists in only 24 games breaking the record by three games, fastest in WNBA history.
Imagine CC is Aja's point guard. That's an unbeatable duo. Cc will be racking more assists. Cc's game fits Aja's game perfectly.
Kelsey plum would be a better choice for cc cause they both play in transition very well. Just my opinion
@@frenchiefrench2971 almost the same profil of player, they will be predictible and put both on the court, you've two players who cannot sustain defense.
@@frenchiefrench2971 though it will be a very small backcourt but I get your point. Plum complements cc as well, imagine Sabrina too. They can become Steph and Klay back court in the W. They will be the goat backcourt.
Kelsey Plum better.
Chelsea Grey is the point guard she needs. Thats why they are on the tear that they are on is because of Ms. Grey.
Rookie of the year not even close
Espn doesn't feel that way. Cait is ballin outta control
I agree, CC is arguably the best playmaker in the game already. And her skill set is just more attractive to watch than any other rookie by far
Not leading the league in turnovers, she's not doing anything special, Aja Wilson averages almost 30 ppg, 1st in scoring, 2nd in the WNBA behind Angel Reese in rebounds
@@inhumanjoey310 ESPN does actually feel that way deep down. But saying that there is no ROTY race, doesn't get people all riled up, and doesn't increase ratings. Nothing against Reese at all. She's a great rookie too. But Clark is breaking and setting records both. It's obvious to anyone who is smarter than a rock who the ROTY is. Vegas and the AP voters know it too, and that's all that really matters
Why?
For everyone asking why Aja and Clark are in the same video, it’s to get Aja some attention! Look at the two videos posted for these women individually yesterday on espn. Aja video about her game has 10k views Clark video about her game has 100k views. They were posted 6 minutes apart yesterday.
Absolutely. That's the reason that ESPN is fanning the flames on the Rookie of the Year race between Caitlin and Angel, when there is actually no race.
Riding coat tails
Someone on this channel voted A’ja Wilson 4th for MVP.
Rebecca looks like that person
Smh
Get over it, kemo sabe
@@marcdaddy33 I will not! That was lame AF and she should not be allowed to vote again that was clear sabotage.
How do you know?
I too am a new FAN of the WNBA - I'm an old HS BBALL coach - PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND ONE THING. Why don't they GUARD Wilson outside of 5 feet? She is the best player on the planet - AMAZING! But, when she receives the ball outside the paint, she has time for a smoke and a few breaths before shooting. I'm waiting for her to take an imaginary cell phone call before shooting!!! LOL It's strange to me!
She does get guarded. Don't let the highlights fool you. The few open shots she gets are created, not given.
@@SaturnFrost Ok, Ive watched five whole games. Reese is a really good player, very strong instincts for the ball down low, and not afraid to run the court. Cardoso is her equal, where Cardoso is slower down the court than reese, she has much better footwork on the post. The Stats in the last ten games show this.
REESE is not guard at side of 6 feet, she misses a ton of shots, her FGP is TERRIBLE, and leads the league in getting her shot blocked. Impact on the team??? Her 8 Def Reb Per gm is strong, and she is a ball hunter. So yes - she is a strong rookie!
The Sky have three strong players down low who can replace each other, HOWEVER, where, as a coach, I would play Reese at crunch time down low because she has a NOSE FOR THE BALL! That is a real thing. And Reese has it!
The sky live and die by Carter! Carter killed the Aces! Wow, Carter can really play.
@@kairandbellinger1973 Carter played very well, but let's be real here... Kelsey Plum threw this game in the garbage for the aces. She was a detriment to her team.
Oh look 232 points scored or assisted, most in 5 games in wnba HISTORY. Sounds better than that 13 game rebounding Stat pad ROTY espn keeps raving on about.
Actually it’s 15 games and it’s harder what then what you think hater. Both ladies are playing incredible for there position I would say that Reese has more upside watching both players but I can also say cc has more to learn too. Again hater both players for there position are playing incredible
@@mkingadiffernce
It's impressive getting double doubles when your team is ahead at end of games with seconds left and other team stopped playing defense and you statpad your waty to record. Watch end of last 2 Skye games and end of lynx sky game. It's right there
Nobody was talking about Angel they talking about Aja Wilson and CC
A'Ja been balling glad she finally the recognition she deserves. Been watching WNBA for years now its some HOOPERS in there but CC brought that spotlight can't deny that she making people who never even watched wnba watch the sport. Don't hate on her just compete and ball out and show the world you can hoop too!!! Its really simple for real.
I’m big Cc Stan ❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
If CC and the Fever can win out through the Olympics, CC will be in the ROY lead without question.
The starting lineup for the Olympic team should have been:
Caitlin Clark
Sabrina Ionescu
Nepheesa Collier
Brianna Stewart
Aja Wilson
i agree
Yo that’s tough not gon lie
Hamby should be in the lineup
No Jackie Young? No KP? This list is lacking.
OML, can you imagine that team???
CC22 is the future of the sport. Only a matter of time before everyone sees ESPN soak in embarrassment.
One of them yes
Caitlin is GOAT. Return to this comment in 3 years!😊
One had a dominant game one is dominant
Rookie of the year, and its not even close.
But C.C's game wouldn't translate to the wnba
Those grown women were supposed to shut her down.
Aja dd’s are crazy points
A’ja Wilson is too good
Yea she is but it seems from the outside looking in that when she is shooting those 3’s it’s not naturally smooth in her game yet. I actually wonder why she started shooting 3’s lately because those have been open all year. Would love to know her mindset. Also I don’t know if they win a chip this year seems like they need a 3 person to step up. Aja and plum will not win a chip this year if a 3rd person don’t step up
@@mkingadiffernceWilson been developed a 3pt shot a few years ago, she just gets better at it each year. That’s why she’s unguardable, because she’s a big that can score in every way with being the biggest threat on defense too. Wilson can drive to the basket from the 3point line past a guard. Not much bigs even has the handling control and speed to do that. Aces have the best squad in the league though, been that way for 4 years straight really. There’s enough help lol. I’ve been an Aces fan for years. Jackie Young is arguably the number two option at times, who’s the highest paid player in the league. Her and Plum sometimes switch between the 2nd and 3rd option. Young can rebound, assist, steal, lock down a guard, score 20 any game if she wants. She averages .4 more points a game than Plum, along with more rebounds. Note that she’s leading Aces in assists per game. She’s more versatile as a scorer when compared to my favorite guard Plum. Aces have 4 multi-all star players. Their bench is 3 and D players. Gray coming back is the reason why they started winning again, because she completes them as the team captain with her discipline on both sides. Gray allows Plum and & Young to play more freely, with also cleaning up the passing.
No rookie faced this sort of defense in any sport. What CC is doing is legendary, and her post game speeches are a nod to her high IQ and self confidence. CC is the goat
Ask her a real question like when are you going to take credit for your bad decisions
🔥🔥 Go Wilson & CC
Aja is seriously the best player I have seen in the "W"!
A’ja Wilson has the best layups in the league. Absolute beast with her 10 inch vertical!
I love watching A'ja! When it's all said and done, I truly believe she will go down as the greatest WNBA player ever. 😎🏀
Way to ball A'Ja. She's the best in the W
Aja Wilson The GOAT👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Caitlin Clark ❤🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯 outstanding
Assists are better than rebounds. Clark is the best!
What about defense. CC has none
@@user-sr4wq7gx4vyet clark has same steals and more blocks than Angel.
@@user-sr4wq7gx4v normally I would agree with you but lately she's defended much better. Last night was the great example
@@user-sr4wq7gx4vFalse.

CC IS A WALKING TURNOVER
A'ja Wilson brought me to the WNBA...and kept me here! She is a BALLER!!! Been that lady!
Why is Aja open?
Fast and length... The story of her career.
@@tko8218 oh ok
CC made the most pts the fastest and 13 assists 7 in the first quarter 😂 y'all keep selling dat Fake narrative 😂 she's the ROTY
You didn’t watch whole game…cc only played good for 2 quarters shrunk in the 4th with 6 turnovers….and went 2 for 7 from 3…good win though fever
@@Jricks1992get a life lady
@@Jricks1992bro you are in every comment section hating and trying to spell the Caitlin Clark narratives. It's become an obsession of yours. YOU ARE LITERALLY EVERYWHERE LOL
@@liftnleap9815 He's on welfare and has nothing else to do.
@@liftnleap9815How is it hate ? Stats do not lie...
Rebecca is about the only ESPN personality I can listen to for WNBA news, the rest of them are just biased.
Yes, I agree 100%. The rest are pushing an agenda.
Glad A'ja is showing out with the fresh audiences and coverage. The W is gonna belong to her for years to come until she decides to let someone else have it.
Get rid of the term "double double" A 10-10 (either points with rebound or points with the same). is a double double but so is 33-18 and 20-13. Give the numbers. And since when is getting 10 points in the game for a starter some great accomplishment? Double double is one of the dumbest, most overhyped stats that the media or whoever came up with it has come up with.
AFAIC, A'ja is by far the best player in the league. She dominates on both ends and Clark is the best rookie and well above any of the others. While Clark has room for improvement, she's a rookie. So we'll see just how far she goes. Whether Clark gets credit for it with ROTY or not, I don't really care at this point. It's like to me Chennedy Carter is an all star even if she's not going to the All-Star game.
What about Angel Brick
You didn’t watch whole game…cc only played good for 2 quarters shrunk in the 4th with 6 turnovers….and went 2 for 7 from 3…good win though fever
I 100% agree with you on the double double. While it is a great measure in college women's basketball it doesn't hit the same in the pros. A double double in the pros means you are just doing your job.
@@sulleys1929 But it is also stupid without context, if a player has 30, 9, 9 he nevers gets double-double or triple double but it is way better than having 10, 10, 10
@@Jricks1992 How did she play in the Mystics 4Q? And I don't care about 6 TOs. She had 13 assists and a whole bunch of good looks as well for her teammates. I've seen her go 2-7 for three and end up 5-10. She aggressively got to the rim in the first half and the threat of her 3 helped enable her to do that. I watched 3 quarters and didn't watch the 4th because I've seen the Fever blow leads before by not making adjustments that need to be make and changing their playing style.
CC brought me here, let me just add that I've never watch the game, nor have I watched any sports. But CC is turning heads. She has proven that she's the BOSS 😎
Look if Aja Wilson dunks this season she be Goat Wilson
33 & 18 is crazyyy
Love her game.
When you have Plus and Wilson on the same team, you're not losing many games. I still think the Aces are better than the Liberty despite the records.
AW is a beast. She has dominated at every level of the game.
Clark is such an immaculate passer
Caitlin Clark ROOKIE OF THE YEAR!!!!
MVP and ROY Clark 100% 🔥
When the Fever make the playoffs, CC should be MVP
cc is an excellent passer and played good for only 2 quarters against an injury riddled team and took horrible shots and shrunk in 4th quarter and had 6 turnovers (total) that were all her fault (I watched whole game)...not to mention 2-7 from three and has been shooting them horrible lately but she Larry bird son..Reese better Aja the goat
@@Jricks1992all turnovers her fault? You don’t know the game. She’s breaking records every game, not just today. Welcome to basketball though
Slow down on smokin blues homie lol
@@Jricks1992get a life
DT hurt but I imagine will be okay for Paris.
Love Cc but she's gotta develop a Kobe Jordan mid range.. getta bucket when you need it.. Paige Bueckers has a beautiful midrange game
Nah...logo 3 is only what we want
Let Paige develop her logo 3
She actually does have a pretty good mid game, but always passes instead. She said after the game that she needs to start taking some of those shots, I hope so.
100% sure she's working on that!! Evidence in games also..
i've watched replays of her freshman and sophomore year in college. her midrange is pretty good
If I was the coach of the fever I would have called up Steve Kerr and asked him for his exact offense and put my little sauce on it. The reason being is because that’s separate cc becoming steph curry or James harden. This would separate them winning chips in the future vs just getting to the playoffs. That mixture of pop/ Phil offense is was so tough to beat and I really believe if they got the players and ran that offense they would be tough to beat because players would have to guard cc everywhere on the court. This is what made curry so dangerous and still dangerous guard him everywhere on the court and it opens up everybody. They need a player like draymond on there team but of course in the version of a woman.
Or just put a man in that coaching position and call it a day😊
Fever gives opponents defense fits
wow they can talk about Clark???
Caitlin holds the record for best record holding😊
AW and CC are numbers one and two for MVP in the WNBA ... IMHO.
I see sense has chase you all your life but you are faster, because CC ain't even top for mvp
Imagine Clark as a point guard with Wilson on her team. They are both so good but completely different players
I agree. I just made a comment about this too. Cc's game fits Aja's game perfectly. Just surround both of them with role players and they are unbeatable. I hope they can be teammates in 2 or 4 years.
@@k3anelovesgam1ng86 One is good and one is great.
Well, you never know. If Sides is still the Coach of the Fever when Clark's contract is up, there's no way she's staying with the Fever. My guess is Sides won't be around long enough to see that day
Kelsey plum better than Clark and is already a good fit with Aja so wishful thinking
lmao. she already got two great guards. plum ran her without gray and then with them both smoked her.
Shout to Sheryl Miller and Cheryl Swoopes. Let’s neither forget 2:14
Lol... You might wanna switch those.
MVP and ROTY, hands down on both. Great players!
Both history makers
Clark is going to win rookie of the year. It is not close at all
I’m watching Angel right now at home against the Liberty and it sickens me how the media are painting her as the ROTY leader. She is very difficult to watch while watching CC’s game is like witnessing greatness, rhythm and grace.
Angel's problem is solely her offensive game
If she can hook up with Aja this off season for training. She'll be alright
@@FreshPrincex4 Angel's problem is her egoism and fascination with fame
@@joeykremple she doesn't, lol
Does she have. An ego? Possibly
But To act as if she doesn't care about the game? She do
I hope team USA does what’s expected and brings home the gold, and that one day we’ll see these two play together.
Forget all the double double talk.....
I’m sorry but it would be a great dishonor to give ROTY to Angel Reese. CC is breaking old records and setting up new records in multiple categories.
Exactly
1st in WNBA or NBA league with 29points, 13 Assist, 5 Reb, 5 Steal, 3 Blocks , 5 Three's
Most consecutive double double Assist in WNBA or NBA History as a Rookie.
No need for A'ja as mvp. CC is ROTY and MVP!
I could score 25 if they left me as open as Wilson was on every play she scored.
CC for MVP not ESPN DEI ROTY.
She dribbled 10% more with her left hand wnba history.
Does anyone consider that Aja is 6'9 while Caitlyn is only 6 '?
Let it be know angel reese was 3 rebounds away from a double double with 5 mins left... she then missed 2 layups at once and got 2 offensive rebounds. And the 3rd came with less than 2 mins.
Cant make that ish up lol.
Clark has put the ROTY debate to bed. It's just not even close anymore
Wow they really tryna push this Aja girl like we don't all just care about CC 😂
Clark just had an opposing team cheering as she won!
No player in the history of sports has ever done that….😮😮😮😮
People respect the fact that a feminine woman is dominant over men acting like women.
3 time MVP❤
#CAITLINSdaCHIT #HANGoverGANG
Rebecca lobo is wnba bill walton
Angel should train with Aja in the off-season
Yeah and Caitlin with Curry.
CC lead the all star vote , AB is the second
I see That Clark is rubbing off on Wilson!! Wilson might be a good player to watch in a few more years!! GO Show them how to do it CC!! YOU THE GOAT in the WNBA!!
Boy what? Lmao 🤣
Wishing Griner a slow recovery
Aja and CC on same team?
A pts-assist powerhouse feeding each other.. WOW!!
Caitlin Clark will be the future
Is
Juju is coming in two years
@@shanicesidacia1699 I love them both
Shes good but i would like to see her doubled like cc is and faced from 94ft
😂😂😂 obviously you ain't watching the games just clips
Brian griner injured?
She had thirteen assists but they choose to show one of her turnovers lol.
how does aja have so much space in the perimiter? clark has always someone breathing down her face with or without the ball.
Right..both Aja and CC are at the top of all the opponents scouting reports. But if CC is so subpar as all her haters claim, why are they double teaming her? Aja I can understand. And now CC's passing numbers are killing the double teams. This girl is next level and is only a rookie. Aja is MVP but she seldom seems to need her team. For me personally Caitlin's style of play is just so much more beautiful to watch especially when she's feeding her team and scoring in rhythm. As Magic called it: "Beautiful basketball."
That's what I was thinking, they barely guarded her. Maybe she positions herself better.
She creates her own space. CC is not there yet
It's called pick your poison. A'ja is deadly in the paint.
They would rather her shoot 3s and you heard this year she is a 40% 3 shooter. Career a 35% 3 shooter.
Caitlin. They press her coming up court and around the perimeter, butnthey'd rather her shoot because she's streaky.
Last night she's 2 - 7 and I believe she's hovering around 32 to 34 from 3. Which if I was facing her, I'd prefer.
A'ja can drive past anyone at will or create her own shot with minimal space, she's unguardable. She gets space on the perimeter because opponents sell out to keep her outside the paint and midrange where she is most deadly.
CC is a leader Reese is a joke 🤣
YES!
Awesome 😊
It's crazy how they left the 3 Caitlin hit over BG out of the highlight package. One the best moments early in the game. Copper went off this game as well.
I like how they forced people to watch Wilson because of Clark
Helps the medicine go down
Who is aha wilson
Karma always comes back to bite you. If you know you know 😂
Talk about CC when she gets a chip... A'ja already has one and she will get another... Probably this year... CC is great...i get it she's your gwh.. but she is not a champion... and that is what matters in any sport
So Robert Horry should be in the Hall of Fame and not Allen Iverson?
It's her rookie year but she already sounds like a vet. Imagine Caitlin Clark in her prime with better players around her, scary.
I hope espn stops putting out those ridiculous "advanced stats" rookie rankings and call it for what it is... Padded Double doubles are not on the same level. Caitlin Clark is ROTY by a mile.
Aja Wilson is just dominant. She is the MVP.
