Caitlin Clark will put butts in seats and eyeballs on TV for WNBA games this season. An estimated 2.4 million watched the 2024 WNBA Draft, never having a million people watch prior.
Ppl may not like Taursi, but she is the truth...or at least was the truth compared to the kind of player she is today! She been talking trash to and about her competition for over 20 years! Its not going to stop now, and i would agree that the new fans are too sensitive! The way you shut a talker up is to...smoke them out...on the court of course! 🤣
Very good presser. The great the about the Fever vs Mercury game is that it is not until June 30. Both teams will be very well set by then and close to top form. Caitlin will be fully established for the "showdown". It's going to be a lot of fun to watch.
If she was the GM for the Minnesota lynx’s it’s the right move. Also let’s be honest Paige is really really really good and if she came out she’s the 2nd or 3rd pick anyway.
Exactly. Despite the sarcasm, your point is correct. Like it or not, the W is a business and if you cant expand the demegrafic you'll fail. Hold on to the old way of business usually out of jealousy( which ran a deficit every year with Dianna at the forefront) lost money hand over fist. The new exciting players resonate. Hate it, like it or indifferent. You as a business only look for return on investment.
Maybe, because these older players made the game all about trash talk and physically decking opponents knocking players to floor, fighting, intentional fouls, technicals, etc like Diana Taurasi are the reason the WNBA could not get fans to follow the WNBA. Maybe, if all these new players are allowed to show their true skill and talents the seats in the arenas will be full. Watching these college players has been fascinating and they have worked hard to develop amazing shots, passes, rebounds, steals... that is where you get the people to buy tickets. The bullying that Diana Taurasi is known for is the old version of basketball. Encouraged in NBA and WNBA by promoters... they need to catch up on what the fans are excited about...
Not so fast there, Diana average 16 points a game last season and is a floor general and block a room later, and has averaged 20+ ppg several times out her career comments so she knows a thing or 2 about the game
So, let me guess. The “learning curve” the new rookies should expect change. You would be right talking about Caitlin Clark. Dianna has five reporters who care, and Caitlin has hundreds (thousands if they had room). Haters are going to hate, but hate doesn't pay the rent except the rent she paysceith Caitlin being in her head.
The "new fans are really sensitive these days". 🤭🤣 Well the same such fans in droves are going to bring in $$$ to the league so you better not cross them. At least she's acknowledging the thousands of people who'll watch the games bec of the rookies, mainly CC. Fans who never even gave the "stars" like Taurasi a minute of their time before the CC effect.
She does have a point. Some of the bran-nu fans are overly sensitive because they aren't aware that Di is a trash talker and opinionated. She's been this way her entire career. Its never been a problem until the recent fandom came aboard. Hopefully, she uses sawft words in the future.
She sounds really old by having to reminisce back to good old days. Even LeBron doesn't talk that way. I would have thought she would retire before Parker. Blaming the "new fans" for her lack of understanding is not a good sign. Yes, there is a level of adjustment to any level and new environment but her stance doesn't bode well considering she never had any drop off (which she will probably claim to be her greatness). I just don't see her greatness when we frequently laugh at how boring the WNBA is due to lack of scoring and her many misses from her layups. Not to mention the many airballs her teammate Grimes puts up. CC has already achieved more greatness for the WNBA due to the attendance and ticket sales rise. Something that none of the current "great" have never even close to getting. Not to mention CC's sponsorship and shoe deals. Tbh, I don't see any of current greats or even new crop of players come close to creating stardom and scoring that CC will attain. The scoring title will be decided before the halfway mark. I do see the Phoenix Mercury missing the playoffs since they have too many old players.
Well, she's sort of right. Caitlin Clark fans does at times seem to show a lack of understanding. Like you're talking about scoring titles when pro sports is about WINNING GAMES and eventually champions.
@@Blacklist324 Talk about calling the kettle black when CC hasn't even played one game. I predicted the scoring title because that is what she can control and yet you expect CC to lead the team to winning? When she is just a rookie unlike these greats that downplay her. Ok, let me make a prediction about winning. The Fever will win more games that her Phoenix Mercury and CC will lead them to the playoffs. I don't know how the Mercury made the playoffs with a losing record and how the playoffs are done so I don't know if Mercury will miss it or not this year. Compare them both as players and how many games each team wins.
@@BDE360 Exactly. Keep on blaming these new fans that don't understand. Why is she in San Diego and not in your own stadium in front of your own fans? No excuse for conflicting venues cause the Suns got swept and the Pacers leading with Caitlin rallying up support. Does the Suns even know who Taurasi is? Cause they surely know who Caitlin is. Have you seen the Fever daily press conference after every training camp practices? Damm. Every teammate of Caitlin can benefit from the attention she is getting. This is for these new fans that simply don't understand.
I can’t believe they have this grandma on the USA OLYMPIC TEAM! She is not popular, she is way too old. Activism is the only reason I can see for her to make the team. Another Rapinoe
Yeah - great - all those titles, awards, and stats in a league that's been operating at a loss since day one, with 1000 people in the stands every night. This is about moving the sport into the mainstream and the next level - Diana and the others should be THANKING her for making the league relevant - even after retirement they will ALL benefit from Caitlin's popularity.

Diana Taurasi is a Legend and future hall of famer
Who is Taurasi?
Ppl may not like Taursi, but she is the truth...or at least was the truth compared to the kind of player she is today! She been talking trash to and about her competition for over 20 years! Its not going to stop now, and i would agree that the new fans are too sensitive! The way you shut a talker up is to...smoke them out...on the court of course! 🤣

Dee will always be my favorite player
Wonder what the numbers on the new fans vs the old fans. Probably like 10 to 1 or something crazy
Has she ever drpped 40 pts
She dropped 47 before
Yes. She has. She scored 42 points last season when she became the WNBA all-time in points scored. She did this at 40+ years old.
She said she would take Paige over Caitlin….imagine how quick she would have got fired if she was a GM
If she was the GM for the Minnesota lynx’s it’s the right move. Also let’s be honest Paige is really really really good and if she came out she’s the 2nd or 3rd pick anyway.
@@kennethsmith6367 u sound silly! The fever are going to make 100x more money than all the other teams
@@wisethabrain1100 I don’t sound silly. Paige is a Minnesotan and was the national player of the year as a freshman. She’s not some unknown prospect.
Thanks for uploading. Do you have the coach’s interview?
Yes! Will probably upload for you tonight after work.
Please remind me if I don't by tomorrow
It's up now
@@RashadMilligan thank you! Hopefully you have Training camp interviews of the team

This poor woman is so jealous that Caitlin is attractive, not a lesbian and better than her that she can’t contain herself.
How much is your Nike deal worth Diana? Dollar don’t lie!

Sue ran away from ny liberty season tickets holder with spike Lee, what's up
Taurasi is looking really old and so fidgety, I don't know why she does not retire and give some young up-and-coming stars an opportunity.
42 and gatekeeping 😂😂
Not so fast there, Diana average 16 points a game last season and is a floor general and block a room later, and has averaged 20+ ppg several times out her career comments so she knows a thing or 2 about the game
Cocaine!
Cocaine makes you fidgety and lick your gums like this old “woman” is doing
Yes fidgety and licking your gums are the biggest visual effects of knowing someone is all lit up on COCAINE 😂
"These new fans"? Try these FANS - as in, what WNBA has NEVER had many of. Toxic Taurasi goes quicker the better.

@ghsense2626 Do you require assistance with comprehension of slang words or do you want to attempt to sound "bran nu" and "sawft" out?
@@laideevalynteena8172 I sleng lawng in mai pents no sawft, yeh sleng dat sackaa 🤣
@@ghsense2626 Awesome work, bud. You're who Taurasi is referring to.
She couldn't move the needle so now needs to bad mouth the new generation that is moving the needle just to try and get some light. Sad.
She sounds really old by having to reminisce back to good old days. Even LeBron doesn't talk that way. I would have thought she would retire before Parker.

This nasty toxicity is fine for Twitter or podcast clicks but REPULSES BBall fans.
just don't like this woman.
This grandma only knows how to foul player.
You do know she's one of the most decorated women's player in history. I think she should retire but what she's accomplished can't be taken away.

Diana has accomplished more than Caitlin probably ever will but you all keep on talking like she's a scrub 😂
