I'm a 64 year old man who, prior to this year, had never watched a second of an WNBA game. Caitlin Clark changed that, and the current WNBA players need to embrace it. Take this as an opportunity to raise your sport's visibility.
Agree and same here
You are not alone. 👍
65, same😊
64 - Same
Yep me too. Fascinating to witness the transition. I've watch the NBA since Dr. J. MJ showed us the air. Curry showed us the deep three. Thank Steph for this transition for the WNBA. If you can dribble, and pass really well and step back three you're contemporary. I particularly enjoy watching the womyn in the league deal with this phenomena. So many thoughts on the subject. . .
She is bringing class and talent to the wnba
did you mean HE is
@@rogergeilow4982no she’s probably one of the few she in the sport 😂
@@jeffgriscoa8131Ouchh😂😂
I haven't seen someone so much loved by basketball fans for a while.
She is treated like a rock star! It's so crazy! She's absolutely amazing
that crowd was crazy for clark and it was a great game.
I’m glad you all hugged. Don’t listen to the media
The media loves to spread bull$hit instead of the truth, I hope everyone knows that
It's so rewarding to see an Athlete like Catlin Clark that's so talented, and yet so Humble. May God continue to Bless and Keep You.
God bless America.
It was nice to see players like Taurasi and Griner giving CC some love. They are leaders in the WNBA and help set a tone for the rest of the league. I think CC has been earning respect by fighting and playing through some rough treatment and some ups and downs and taking the high road by turning the other cheek and recognizing others, and by her unselfish play.
I’m 60 yo. I’m basketball player, I’m still playing, basketball was always my passion, and I haven’t seen WNBA ever , till now because of CAITLIN CLARK ❤
i’m the same way! I’m obsessed with her!
i love her demeanor and professionalism. She definitely got a job in broadcasting after she retires form basketball. She represent herself and the league perfect.
I'm from Ireland, I never ever watch basketball, I watch it now because of her
Grew up in a basketball city (Baltimore, MD) & love the game & a big CC fan. If you find yourself wanting to learn more about the game's history then watch this video... tis a bit grainy, but imo 1192 game 7 between the Bulls & Knicks is one of the best basketball games ever played. ua-cam.com/video/HyTo2B9pxcA/v-deo.html
So nice that Phoenix gave CC some respect. Something no other team in the league has done. Rest of league have nothing but hate petty jealousy. Respect for DT and BG
Some fans came in from Mexico City to watch Caitlyn. That’s pretty insane.
Despite of everything, she's so down to earth,wow!
They love Caitlin no doubt about it! I knew Taurasi (class act)is a standup person/player and that was really nice of Griner to greet Caitlin ....speaks voiumes! True pros!
Nah, they all don't love Caitlin, who told you that!? Did the sneak dissing they all be doing tell you that!? Or you're just ignoring it!?
Wow. Sounded like a home game.
Probably Clarks best day as a Pro. Genuine acceptance from a former legend and personal idol . The changing of the guard.
how do you know thats genuine...

Knowing where you’re from explains your comment….
dinosauri is trash compared to caitlin
She is so special in so many ways
she deserve the rookie of the year even without looking at that stats. She made WNBA relevant!
I love Taurasi and Bird, but we have to admit that Caitlin has brought WNBA to the next level.
Seems to be raising the bar for the league. Every player is perking up and playing better.
Have to give it to taurasi. She calls him like she sees it. There's a new wave and they've caught the fever. Caitlin is the best in the business for the Love of the game. That's what I like to see❤❤
CC is adjusting and getting better. If they had a coach that could teach screening and players that could move off the ball better, they would be even better now.
Both DT and CC played fantastic games. Kudos to both for ability and sportsmanship! This is the WNBA we are talking about, not the intentional hard fouls and jealousy.
Never watched any basketball in my entire 63 years. Saw Catlin at Iowa during finals and became a fan. I'm now a WNBA fan. Very exciting to watch! They are so good.
Great! Now keep that energy going. We need more ppl like u with that approach 👏🏾
never seen so many bricks. They're not that good, in general
America loves her!!!!!
17,000 people came out to see Caitlin Clark... Phoenix was an averaging 1700 last year
Phoenix 2023 home attendance average 9,200...2nd only to the LV Aces
CC's passes at times makes her look a lot like mister "sleight of hand" himself John Stockton.
I live in Phoenix and I took my 6 year daughter to the game and it’s my second game since the Mercury won the championship. The arena was sold out.
👏👏👏👏👏👍👍
Caitlin is doing to the WNBA what Tiger did for the PGA. They should welcome and embrace all the new eyes on, enthusiasm for, and new revenue in their sport. Everybody wins.
Exactly - perfect analogy
#facts
The other women are bitter and jealous that she's getting the attention and money they feel like they deserve. They aren't happy that she's making them richer, they are salty that they weren't able to make themselves richer.
Patrick Mahomes, Simone Biles - same with Caitlyn
@@julie1630 YEP!
I never bothered to watch WNBA until Caitlin Clark. I would pay $ to see her play live any day!
Caitlin taking time to sign ,, a legend in the making 🙌
One thing that was missed in this video was BG hugging CC. That was a hug of respect. Ive been a critic of BG but shes changed for the better. Respect
It was in the video, and nice to see.
CC looked so tiny when Griner hugged her, holy shit
That’s exactly what I thought. C. C. is 6’ feet tall. Griner looks like a giant. How tall is she?
Watching basketball is deceptive. If you watch the GSW and see Steph Curry lookin' like a midget and then consider that he's 2-3 inches above average height.
@@philgaetano6926 6'9 tall she also ex num one draft pick 10 yrs ago.. not easy play in WNBA its speed and physicality some win some lost
Griner is 6’9”
Griner is a 6'9 man so.....
I'm so happy for this young lady. Congratulations
Things are getting better and better for the WNBA.
Actually, they aren't. The league is projected to lose $50 million this year, even with Clark's impact. Why? Because her fans only attend and watch her games, and she can only play 40 (of 480). She sells out arenas in other cities, and the next night, those arenas are half full. TV ratings are through the roof for her games, but drop precipitously when any teams not called the Indiana Fever play.
@@mc76 things are still better than they were. Before CC came along, I would have watched curling before I would have watched women's basketball. The fact that revenues are up speak volumes p e r I o d
CC is awesome, this turn of DT and her being competitors and mutually respectful is compelling stuff. Excited for more to come.
I think there is a lot of jealousy and bitterness... but despite that, most of these gals all recognize that she's a young girl and a legit talent and doesn't deserve the hate. It's always harder to hate face to face.
class recognizes class love the respect but haters will hate
Class, both ways.
This whole WNBA thing going on is so weird for me. I never watched a game before CC going. But what was so weird… yesterday I was so happy when I saw the videos of Diana Taurasi and CC hug and the words they said about each other. All day when I thought about it… it made me smile. Humans love good things. We Love, love basically. And I wish I had CC’s calmness and professionalism when I was her age. Even now. She has grace, professionalism and taking time with kids after the game to sign autographs, etc… wow. And also I give kudos to Diana for coming to the table in a generous of spirit way. I know how it feels when you’re on top… and then new generation comes in. It’s like gravity. What goes up must come down. And CC saying she looked up to Diana one of the greats…. And I believe she meant it….was a great way to for Diana to let her guard down.
Well put. We love love!
I never watched basketball and then I came across a video of Caitlyn. She is awesome !!
I’m a filipino 67 yrs.old and i love caitlin clark❤❤❤
There is no pinoy who likes a loser. pinoys typically idolizes good players and check if they have filipino roots. lol!
Caitlin's attitude toward opponents and officials who may seem kind of hostile reminds me of what my coach would say to me when I experienced that 50 some years ago. When the opponents and the officials seem hostile and aggressive I was instructed to remember "We are hear to make friends and not enemies." We worked hard at that as a team and it paid off in the long run. The news outlets started start commenting on our sportsmanship the refs would say "thank you" when we retrieved a ball for them. The other players appreciated complements to them or in interviews. We still had a to defend ourselves when things got "juicy" a very few times but each year at the state tournament we were treated fairly. The guy I guarded in the championship game at the state tournament my senior year became my boss for eight years at the end of my working career 40 years later. I think Caitlin is starting to reap the benefits of a good attitude already. I hope the worst is over for her.
That was 20 years ago with 4 people in the audience watching.
The media has made a big deal about Turasi's comments earlier in the season (they weren't a big deal), but she, and Brittany Griner, were classy in the way they embraced CC before the game and the comments they made about her afterwards. Should be careful not to vilify CC's opponents just for clicks and to stir up drama. I'm excited about the WNBA for all the great players, many of whom I might not have cared about until now but who cares who got me to the start watching. I'm hooked now!
Perfectly expressed.
Yeah, I feel kinda bad hating on these other players that supposedly were negative about CC. That's kinda stupid on its face, but I was just reading the clickbait headlines. Then I listened to what Turasi actually said. It was a nothin' burger. She actually seems so cool and watching her play in the game the other night against the Fever, she's amazing and not just for her age. Griner is unstoppable - being 6'9" helps, but she's really good. Huge respect for their respective games and the way they showed mutual respect to to CC. Glad the Fever won and Caitlin was amazing. I'm as impressed with her court vision and passing as I am with her outside shooting.
I don’t think Taurasi understood the dynamics of CC until she actually saw for herself in this game..
Exactly. What i thought
Diana brought her on her podcast like 2 years ago. She knows her.
@@jammzy2959 u still didn't understand the o
Point, he means until she experienced it She didn't really understand that CC22👑. Effects, People looking through TV or video, you really can't really Feel the way you will feel if you're physically there in the Court.
I was impressed with the sportsmanship shown by Taurasi, and Briner. Shows the league has arrived.
👍👍👍
I’m a 73 year old Czech woman and never heard of the WNBA until CC rose to stardom. Nothing but best of wishes to CC’s career.
sure you are...
@@emillyyelen5169 Ray Gene Bowner? Yep, sounds 100% Czech. 🤨🙄
@@garyco766 😂😭
Even Beyond her 3-point Acumen she is amazing in her assists, that is truly top shelf stuff
Clark is just getting warmed up!
Stockton to Malone/ Clark to Boston!
Caitlan a fabulous tribute to both Iowa and 2 loving parents
Clark is earning respect from players. It takes time to become the goat, nobody just is!
I think she earned a few stripes in this one. Down 15 on the road and facing off against a couple of great veteran players, she put the team on her back.
CLARK, ROOKIE OF THE YEAR!🎖🏆🏅🥇🥈🥉🏀
I have never watched a women’s basketball game other than college ball. CC and this class of rookies are making people take notice! Kate and Angel are drawing a lot of attention too. I think the WNBA is going to gain as a whole because of CC, Kate, Angel, and others! Looking forward to watching these young women grow!
I have learned a lot about the players in the league veterans and newcomers. from Taurasi to Clark. I have now been following them since the start of this season. Good Basketball all around ❤WNBA
CC. An Iowa girl. What more can be said. Genuine. Level headed. Kind. Cute. Talented. Needs to run for POTUS
I'm a Filipino retiree and have never watched any WNBA or women NCAA but after seeing cc play with Iowa I'm hooked on her. Love her personality.
Taurasi got trashed for what she said but she meant no malice. She is a titan of the game and she greeted her heir apparent with a smile, a hug, and showered her with accolades after the game even though her team lost. They were even joking around during the game. Tip of the hat to DT.
Tau is one of the greatest woman basketball player . She is fine.
Yeah, she was just relating/empathizing, and that's a good thing for her to finally do.
@@Kokobazonkos stick to GTAV. CC22 wasn't even the leading scorer in the game. It wasn't DT3 vs CC22. It was the Mercury vs the Fever/Flu. You Taylor Swift-like CC22 fans are insufferable. Make fools of yourselves every time you post some dumb comment.
@@Kokobazonkos Real Talk.
Great video capturing the excitement, passion and emotion of this game. Well done!
The end game is this: we attend sports events for entertainment and though we may wish the best for "our team," what we really want is a good close "nail biter" where our team wins with a spectacular last second score. Caitlin Clark provides that energy from beginning to end. She is the catalyst of the Fever's amazing teamwork. She isn't a ball hog but a team player with vision and perception to set up others to make amazing plays happen. I'm no basketball fan, much less a WNBA fan, and I don't have any roots in Indiana, BUT I would pay good money to watch them play and I don't care who wins. It will be a great game.
I pray she stays genuine. Just like when Jennifer Lawrence did Hunger games, she was very genuine until Hollyweird got to her and she became just like them. Caitlin, we love you. Don’t ever change!! 💜🏀💜
What a poised young woman
“ Catch the Fever”
☮️❤️🙏🌏🌍🌎🇺🇸❤️☮️
I don’t watch women’s sports, but I absolutely wish her all the best.
I honestly wish she had run around the court to acknowledge the crowd who loves her
Angel Reese said they were standing and clapping for her too.
🤣🤣🤣 If they weren’t then they’re racist!
😂😂
😂🤣. Delusion is a helluva drug!
@@_Paul_N 😅
😂😂😂😂
Catlin Clark is who people want to see, they love her! The players in the WNBA should be using her as an example to copy and not criticize.
A clean cut, well behaved young woman who speaks well. It ain't rocket science!
I admit it will be more difficult for woman pushing some sort of agenda but if you've been in the league a few years and don't feel you've gotten your due, you might consider how you present yourself to the paying public. Your part of an entertainment industry.....act accordingly.
Generally speaking, basketball has never been on my watch list and here I am at 81 trying to catch every Indiana Fever game.
She's a class act.
1:46 She's been in the league for 20 yrs? 20yrs up and down the court. That's amazing in any league
I would NEVER EVER HAVE KNOWN WHO DT was WITHOUT CC. I. appreciate the notice. But let’s face the real truth ..without CC YOURE IN A DITCH ..IM GONNA LOVE YA CAUSE YOU LOVE CC
In the most gentlemanly fashion, I personally think Caitlin Clark is an extremely gorgeous young woman.
This the video I was looking for - incredible stuff.
Indiana Fever, but it's actually Caitlin Fever.! And I've got it.! 🤒 😵💫
once in a generation you get something other coming into a sport, any sport, CC is that other, she will change the game and earn the respect of her haters, she is a natural
The entire WNBA owes CC big time!!
Caitlin win or lose❤
Iconic. Nuff said!
That's because we know that she's probably the best of the best. Arizona loves her. We watched her during her games In college. She has beaten pro male records as well as women's.
I am ghost who lived in the US for 7 years before moving to Panama to become a professional hair stylist. I have never heard of the WNBA before CC. Now i watch because of her.
She is the Magic Johnson of the WNBA!
Give this woman her flowers, without the griping...jeez
Caitlin is my favorite player 👍

That is a great TV show too.
I’m from Guam, never watch WNBA, wooow that girl Caitlin Clark can play ball, nothing else to say but wow she is play
Women showing some real class. Sports'man'ship.
inspiring and sweet to watch
Cc the reason why i searched wnba highlights now 😂
Luv or hate her u gotta admit her shot is silk!
"That was me 20 years ago" - except Caitlin is drawing massive crowds and changing the game, bringing new people into the fold, and breaking records as a rookie.
yep that line stuck of desperately trying to stay relevant.
Superstar!
This is a true CC fan Moment , WOW !!!! and again WOW !!!! you look like a Truly Admired women of everyone that loves the WNBA ! MS. Caitlin never give up or even think about it we are all here in numbers as you can see ! Nothing but Love from all of America for what you have done for all these Other , ( HATERS ).
global rockstar CC22❤️❤️❤️❤️
She's the Larry Bird of the WNBA
Now that is classy. Angel Reese, take note.
When Sid Reese was asked about the game, he said "They were there because of me too."
When the home crowd is against you who then can be for you 😮
she really knows how to dress up🤗👏👏👏
People blew Taurasi's comments way out of proportion. What she said was pretty obvious - Caitlin would have an adjustment - no kidding! I am a big Caitlin fan, Caitlin is having a strong rookie season, but she will probably start hitting her stride in year two or three. That's pretty common.
husband speaking age 81 I agree with davenc just below me. I have never watched a woman's BB game and no men's game since the 50's. Hearing the hype on
CC got me to look and I maybe hooked just to see how Miss Clark can survive the Rookie year. Many of the other players are too full of themselves, grow up.
