I was laughing out loud watching caitlyn clark knock down ridiculous shots. Felt like a kid watching that game. She a special talent.
Think, as a warriors fan, that's EVERY GAME FOR ME. Life is gonna be so awesome for Indiana fever fans. My warriors have had over a decade of Steph, they're getting over a decade of Caitlin. She's the only person I've ever seen get close to what Steph does, man or woman. Trae Young could never. She's an absolute freak of nature
same bro. same 💯
LSU vs Iowa was the first womens backetball game I have ever watched, I will definitely be watching more
They all like that.
No you won’t
Welcome aboard!
That was peak basketbal...women teams without superstars suck..
@@razkable Have to say the Raptors and Pistons aren't that fun to watch either this year hahaha
Caitlin Clark is a real life sports movie. This is Rocky II (well, Iowa vs. LSU was Rocky III). Finals if they make it will be Rocky IV
Stay off the weed
Women’s basketball has what the men’s game has been missing for a few seasons it’s STARS!!!! That’s what brings the fans to tune into the game
Yup, in the men's game, every single player with a semblance of talent leaves way too early and that doesn't enable the fans to grab onto the team and the sport fully. The players obviously have every right to do what's best for themselves financially; though the reality is that it hurts the sport by diminishing the overall investment level from fans.
It'll be interesting to see if this holds true as the women's game gets bigger and more popular. The women's game doesn't yet have (comparatively) large sums of money attached to it yet; so players like Clark and JuJu have to stay in school for a minimum of 3 years to build themselves; and everyone wins when that happens.
Why is this video such low quality? Bill Cmon
Love the shout out for Tokyo Vice, amazing show
I finished Tokyo Vice. Glad Tozawa went down and Sato became the Oyabun!
Mina nation stand up!
Yep long as she doesnt talk politics and keeps it to sports shes great
Mina is awesome and this conversation is awesome.
It is fantastic to see the woman's game get the love, but this will probably be the peak, just like when Tiger left golf.
"The passing's gonna be what stands out."
Good call, Bill.
My biggest take away from this… Is that Mina’s husband is not a sports guy!?! How the fuck does that happen…
Tokyo Vice is awesome
Me as a Sky fan, I'm just hoping any of the generational talents fall to Chicago whenever they come out
I’m the same age and from the same area as Jayson Tatum, it’s pretty surreal just like going to work and then seeing him on my phone being top 5 in the MVP discussion
Pride of The Lou.
"Navigating the extra fame and fortune is really tough". We're all so lucky we don't have these issues.
I wanna see the Cinderella season finish up for Caitlin Clark. The only she's missing to the college resume is a National Title. Cement her legacy as one of the GOATs, male or female
Stop it. The female G.O.A.T wouldnt make a male varsity team for any decent high school program
@@fauxbro1983🤓
@@fauxbro1983Dog it’s unnecessarily to read into it like that. Everyone knows she couldn’t play in men’s ball that’s not the point. She’s relatively the best anyone has maybe ever seen
Caitlin's an amazing shooter. Much respect. But don't sleep on Paige Bueckers, and Aaliyah Edwards. Looking forward to this weekend
Mina, if Iowa loses on Friday, the final will lose half its' audience. And, the women's game can't afford to be known for its' coaches yet. You need stars. You have one right now. If she loses to Ucon, you'll find out quickly, just how right I am.
I watched the LSU Iowa game it was awesome. Then saw the postgame interviews of LSU players and was reminded that all women forever and always think themselves victims
I want to see iowa win it all just to see the people online scramble for something to be negative about with Caitlin. Before it was "lsu is gonna dog walk them again just like last year" now it's "Caitlin has 0 rings". If she gets one, what will anyone have to say?
Hope you’re right; I think it’s just Caitlin 🤔
Bills gone woke! Just kidding. Lol. Love you Mina!
People are hankering for good college sports after all this NIL stuff I think it has that feel to me
She's rooting for South Carolina? What a lame answer...
Mina loves Dawn Staley ? Staley cancelled a game vs. BYU even after an investigation showed that a Black Duke volleyball player LIED about being taunted with racial slurs during a game ( she played like crap and her team lost ) . So why did Staley cancel the game and feed into the false claims of racism here ? Nonsense like that helps nobody and just helps to divide the country
Comments like this that judge a person for one mistake also divide the country.
@@prasad530 Yeah , pointing out what she did is a mistake. It should be ignored . Got it.
@@exitscreaming4637 Feel free to point out mistakes, I like to point out hypocrisy.
@@prasad530 Then you must be looking in a mirror most of the time
It’s gonna be so funny when the men’s tournament beats them in viewers again, this moment passes, and nobody continues to watch the women.
Why would that be funny?
@@AstroRocket bc of how wrong they will be in retrospect
you’re lame
Lejuuuuutimately
WNBA viewership will explode next season
Potato camera?
Sporting event of the year so far 2 months after the Super Bowl is an insane level of pandering
It's the hideous video quality that does it for me. Never change Bill
What is juju? Is that Catlin Clark’s religion or something? I will say she does seem have good juju
JuJu Watkins set the NCAA college scoring record for freshmen
No Paige talk is crazy. She gets to come back next year to a super team a year removed from injuries.
Mina married a guy who doesn’t like sports? Next she's gonna say he doesn’t like Love is Blind...
not surprised the lady is rooting fo SC
How much longer do we have to pretend to enjoy this crap?
Another incel comment
The unfortunate thing is that the WNBA is so bad at marketing that you can predict them dropping the ball with Caitlin like they did so many popular college players.
No the problem is that there are too many incels who leave comments like yours that take away from any positive energy going towards women sports. Do better.
@@Obiamajoyisrmd The funny part is I actually went to several WNBA games before, but, there's always people like you who act holier than thou and act like they carry the banner for the WNBA when they actually don't support them. But go ahead with your incel comment if it makes you feel better. 🤷♂️ Or are you going to call me a neckbeard, next? A Bro-tard?
The WNBA has notoriously fumbled the ball on promoting. Heck I don't even have to look far. I watch the Yes Network almost on rotation and I didn't know Stewie was going to the Liberty until a week before the season started. Stewie is a HOF player and she's not even 30 and had the same amount of hype of Caitlin coming out of college.
@@ObiamajoyisrmdYour derangement and bigotry are noted. WNBA is TERRIBLE at marketing and I wouldn’t be shocked if someone as hatefilled as you was leading their marketing department.
Sporting event of the year lol..super bowl had record numbers..gtfoh
Men really have been embarrassing on this subject. I’m fortunate enough to have UConn down the road and if you watched UConn or played any of these girls you’d realize what levels the best layer of women’s basketball play at. Maya Moore would have kicked ur ass.
You're embarrassing on this subject.
@@mclark667 way to continue to suck and extend that suckage to a new realm. Inability to make any real point or support it. Shining example of men really.
Mina’s husband looks like a 15 year old emo kid who binge listens to Green Day and Good Charlotte.
she has a south korea flag but no american flag, that's lame
Mina. No one watches WBB for the coaches. Maybe just you.
Noone whi watches Bill Simmons and hears all his podcasts wants to hear from Mina Kimes....of all the great guests and personalities he has at The Ringer, Mina surely makes me click away
Literally the worst bball I’ve seen fr , reason why I don’t watch college male or female
Isn’t that what kind of makes it beautiful though? There are teams with future hall of famers and teams with a bunch of future accountants and anybody can win
These games are hugely entertaining. U dont need perfection for a good product.
@@nerothelost9605 agree, the passion is what makes it fun to watch
Let me say this once. We don't care about women basketball
Who is we? Certainly not me
🤫🤫. This is happening whether you want it to or not. The product has improved so much over the past 15-20 years-still inferior to the mens game in terms of technical ability but charming and more accesible to a casual fan. NBA and mens game feel sterile now. It feels figured out and iterating on perfection is boring.
the iowa lsu game was entertaining enough
lol who cares?
Why tf did you even click, let alone comment, on this if you didn't care
Caitlin Clark is overrated
