CC is also in the top 15-20 in rebounds, steals and blocks! They call her a defensive liability? Ridiculous. Her stats are straight up fantastic all around
Let's work on ROY. Even if Reese wins it - not deserving it - F _ _ _ em! Caitlin still will have many more great moments this season and is getting RICH!!!!
A lot depends on how the next half plays out. Angel is playing her position well. Caitlin is playing her position well. This is a league where the Bigs get more love than post players. That’s one of the things I think we’re seeing from the old school players. They like the inside game. Caitlin running the point is the big difference maker, but Sides wasn’t using her this way, at the beginning of the season, and since they were tossed into the deep end with with ridiculous schedule, the team chemistry was lacking. If they can keep playing like they did against Phoenix, then who knows where Clark can take the team. But let’s not get this twisted - Angel is good too. We don’t need to tear her down to lift Caitlin up.
I don't know about that. I could see rookie of the year especially after last big win. But yeah, I don't think there is any way they would give her MVP. Now, if they like go undefeated the rest of the year and she gets a few triple doubles, they would maybe give it to her. But that's not gonna happen...
How great would it be if Nike did a commercial highlighting CCs wide ranging abilities, sell-out crowds, media prowness & positive influence with kids? That would be one (accure) voice on Mainstream media that would offset the multitude of (biased) reporting outlets
Brilliant breakdown,but if anyone who has watched her iowa games ,cc definitely has a midrange game and has created her own shots multiple times off the dribble ,the scary part is she can only get better.
Wow! So she Jesus surrounded by evil doers, right? Wow! Then why the hell she’s playing with sinners and why are you republicans going to support sinners? Lol. Y’all talk out of your as every day.
Just 3 points off CC's points average. Leading WNBA rebounder. 4th quarter monster & closer. 2/2 3 pointers. Angel Reese will win ROY. Record setting double doubles in WNBA. MVP!
Coming off the Boston screen, waiting for her to roll and forcing Griner to pick her poison. As soon as she took a step to guard Aliya, CC took it to the hoop. Smart play.
I definitely agreement with you. If the media was even tiny bit honest, there wouldn’t even be a so called rookie of the year competition. Because deep down they know it’s not even close.
The sisterhood hates her. They have to play better! Media bias talking against CC. The only place we can discuss CC outstanding performance is here and other social media sites. We're here to turn the tide. Go Clark22!!!
She is the MVP. The whole group is so insecure it’s just absurd. Magic and bird did not enter the league as rookies. They already had game. Tiger was never a rookie. Some players just skip that title.
CC won't get her flowers; I have already come to terms with it. Until things change, I'm just going to watch fever games. It's my kind of protest. I have liked some other players in the league, but until things change, they're just going to have to carry on without me.
Stop lying. You were never engage either the rest of the gay league as you called it. You all said since the first game to the world that your only watching for CC. So now that they now, we can not ansd will not center the game around her! You can think yourselves for that. You ran your racist mouth just a little to much and loud. Lol. Now deal with what you created. She’s no where near Reese. She can play defense at all. She just try to get loose rebounds. Not that she’s fighting for them. Again, loose. Lol. Ask her to create points with out a screen every single time. She sucks and look to the refs to bail her out. Lol.
they hate on cc because she is a rookie who plays like a vet and needs to be leading the team at Fever running the ball up court, and making her team better her team needs to get behind her, and so does the coach and they shoe in for top eight maybe top 4 finish
Don't listen to what they say. Watch what they do - faceguard and press her 79 feet from the basket and start doubling within 30 feet hoping she'll give up the ball. Unless you can show me another player drawing this much defensive attention, opposing head coaches already voted her MVP.
She's definitely Rookie of the Year and probably the MVP, but she may not get anything!😢The "Go woke, go broke crowd" is trying to hold her down out of jealousy. They talk about the CC fans being dumb, but those pushing or Reese make some of the most ignorant comments.
My theory is the older, slower, more out of shape vets have a tactic of brutalizing the rookies and younger players to try to intimidate and slow them down. Watch the video of Alyssa Thomas body-slamming Angel Reese. Alyssa Thomas was totally gassed right after. She was trying to slow down Angel who had non-stop energy.
It’s one thing to leave CC off the Olympic team - it’s another thing to leave her off the ALLSTAR team. If they leave her off the ALLSTAR team I am DONE. I am canceling my league pass and not watching. I am tired of them gaslighting us that they don’t want her to fail. The jealousy and pettiness is one thing - them gaslighting us that we don’t know what we see - we know a bunch of jealous petty women when we see it. Men are 90% of the WNBA audience and we KNOW what jealous petty women look like cause many of us watch that behavior our entire life from many women we know. Ask a random women how much WNBA they have watched lmao! I am a left wing person saying this too - I am not a hate monger with an agenda to hate on the WNBA - I have had the league pass the last few years. Kobe Bryant got me into it training Ionescu - she was my favorite player before CC. I got the league pass to follow the Liberty and Ionescu but I watched the entire league. I am more tired of them gaslighting us and talking down to the audience.
Also, the WNBA should be recruiting women fans. Do they think women aren't aware of this type of behavior and can't see right through it?? Duh. Some women aren't Petty and jealous.....right.
Obviously, she is filling up the stat sheet, but her shooting percentage has been atrocious the last couple of games. I think she really needs the break the Olympics is going to give her. She's been playing basketball with very little recuperation for almost a year. You can see it. Most of her shots from distance are coming up short, because she has got no legs. I think if she really takes advantage of the Olympic break and gets some good rest and recovery, you will see a much better version of her once the second half of the season gets underway.
Box office vs Box score. If eyeballs = more revenue, then there is no doubt who is MVP of the league. Not to mention just the increased gates she is bringing in attendance and ticket prices.
CC's case for MVP probably depends on how far the Fever go. It's interesting, but it seems that by throwing shade at the player the fans most love to watch play, the league is doing just about everything it can to diminish itself against the grain of the CC effect.
I'm going over her endorsement deals so far, including her turning down the BIG 3 offer. Which now looks even worse because it appears her agents never even notified her of the offer. To put things into context, the big 3 offer was more than she would earn in her WNBA career. Under Armour offered her 16m for 4 years vs Nike's 28m over 8 years.

That shoe deal should be LeBron James levels of magnitude not Lonzo Ball post Lakers 😂❤ In endorsements meetings it's not about sex, colour or politics it's all statistics past, present and future. And the perceived value you bring to that brand. Nike just signed a multi-billion dollar brand for 28m 😂❤
What is up with the WNBA, ESPN, and Rainbow Mafia Witches? The reality is Reese’s game will not grow. She’s restricted to 2 feet around the basket. She’s too selfish to pass and get an assist, and all her rebounds are from her missed shots. Do the WNBA, ESPN, and Rainbow Mafia Witches believe that it is not Clark, who is moving the numbers, but the other two Rookies, and the players? The two other rookies have moved the number of seats in their own house - but that is it. Chicago Sky in 2023 7,241.70 home, with Reese 8,658.60 - 1,416.9 more Chicago Sky in 2023 is 6,447.40 home, with Reese 10,471.29 looks good until you back out Clarks games. 34,548 and their total drops from 73,299 to 38,751 or 7,750.2 - 1,500 more than 2023 Clark with an average of 7,332.15 in 2023 and 2024 15,332.92 with 20,333 the all-time high has moved the numbers across all houses and every away game is a sellout, throw in 2023 4,066.80 home tickets, 2024 16,757 Clark has caused two games to be transferred to bigger houses and Clark after beating the home time is getting a standing ovation in their house, which says everything. As for TV, no one is watching the other games, it is all on Clark.
Just subscribed to your channel. Never thought about mvp but you just put up a great argument. The fever lost there first 8 games. Since then they’re 8wins 4loses
The lead argument is solid. MVP over ROTY, but I don't mind them allowing the victor to be the one who gets the the post-season (if one doesn't). I also can't see how CC wins if AR continues to average a double double (especially if CC doesn't reach the playoffs). Great win for WNBA, but I wish the target on CC wasn't as hot. Plenty of Rookies, and topics to discuss this year, great games, and teams, but they're milking CC.
She is a real MVP now, considering her star power is literally making the WNBA more valuable. Almost tripling the viewership, selling out venues, yet they don't want to give her any love.
MVP should actually be more plausible. MVP is the player that has been most valuable. Who has been more valuable to the league and her team more than CC? I'm from SC. so I watched last year a lot as an A. Boston fan. And this team right now is so much better. Boston had a great year but add CC and wow Boston and the Fever team has so many more options.
she's clearly leading this team to making the playoffs which they havent done in 8 YEARS 🤷♂️ take away her presence from this team and they would probably be worst than last year.
Caitlin Clark is what the WNBA has needed for the last 28 years. The savior has arrived. She is the ONE. She is the Messiah of women's basketball. She is the ANOINTED ONE.
A lot of these highlights have that whoops-too-slow quality of White Chocolate. And the imagination of Magic Johnson. And the range of Steph Curry. And the leadership IQ of LeBron. So, again, how is she NOT the MVP???
WNBA should redefine ASSISTS to include those assists recipients fouled in the act of shooting and making at least 1 of their FT. This would increase assists stats of players. CC has the most balance scoring (especially 3 pt shots) and assists based on statmamba compared with Stephen Curry and Sabrina Ionescu.
CC is the reason I'm watching, but I'm a purist when it comes to MVP: best player for the best team (or one of the best teams). Valuable means your team is winning. CC is learning the pro game fast and still has things to work on. No way she's in the MVP conversation yet.
Great video! Every time I see a new video from you I get pumped cause I'm about to see/hear some well spoken truth about our girl!!! If we beat the Aces tonight, the sky is the limit! Fever could go all the way and win the chip if they win tonight...
Just wanted to add something. CC has been in a shooting slump since late in College. She had the 41 point game against LSU where she 😊made 8 3’s, and then had that first quarter of the finals where she scored 18 points. then cooled off the rest of the game. She had the 7 3’s against the mystics in the W. Here is my take. The more comfortable she gets in the second half, the more times she will get hot, AND have good shooting nights also. Her raw 2pt % and 3pt % will creep up, then of course her effective field goal % will do the same of course commensurately. Starting tonight. ☑️👌😎🤣 JP
Quite a take. Rookie of the year is in question even though have the third easiest schedule so far while the fever have the most difficult. CC isnt even guaranteed a spot in the all-star game.
Coach Sides subbing out Clark "for defensive reasons" is BS and an intentional snub to damage Clark in media and public eye. There aren't 5 better defenders on that team. Caitlin should've been out there for her defensive rebounding. "By their fruits ye shall know them".
Yes, that's really not a good look. I hate Sides for that. CC is an absolute cranch player, she has ice in her blood when shooting free throws, and Sides takes her out. Those 2 rebounds that Wallace had would've been a triple double for Clark. Sides needs to go.
Awesome content - great work. I always love your analysis. I comment quite a bit and you may know that I think the league is dysfunctional because it is operating as a non-profit charity of the NBA. If they weren’t getting bailed out year after year you would have them embrace CC rather than disdain her. They need to be ripped off the teet of the NBA. Sink or swim - period.
Thanks! I appreciate that! I agree about the NBA. I think it's a huge part of the problem. If the WNBA had to make money to stay in business, they'd change what they are doing (or suffer the consequences).
I just don't get the hate towards CC. The only thing she is guilty of is having a great collegiate career and being the first overall pick. She would very likely be leading the league in assists if her teammates had decent hands. As it is she is still amongst the leaders. Top 20 in every statistical category that matters. Points scored per game, assists per game, made 3 pointers per game, rebounds per game, steals per game, blocks per game. Fastest player to 300 points, 100 assists and 100 rebounds in history. Angel Reese is in the top 20 in only one of those categories, rebounding. This shouldn't even be a discussion at this point. Finally you destroyed the argumemt that she can't create her own shots.
There are a lot of things that factor into it, but the overwhelming big drive of all of the hatred and venom is simply old-fashioned jealousy. The WNBA has lost millions every single year of its 27-year existence. No one has ever been interested because it's not a good product and along comes this girl who has completely upended everything. Her popularity level is insane and all those players who toiled along in anonymity hate her for it.
Excellent reporting. So many so called fans only see greatness in scoring. I watched a lot of Iowa games and I always thought she was a pass first player. If she had the Kelsey Mitchell mentality she could have averaged 45 pts./game.
There is no question in my mind that Caitlin is the MVP. No question at all. And the numbers prove it: NO ONE is so totally bored with Life to watch ANY of the WNBA events (or Olympic) that do not involve Caitlin Clark.
I don't agree. A'ja is the best forward, but she's not MVP. Without Chelsea Grey, A'ja and Aces were losing games. A'ja was not able to pull the team, and they have way better team than Fever. They lost like six games. On the other hand, without CC as a main point guard, the Fever offense collapses totally. And she makes them all look better.
True but you can say that for everything. For Roger Maris the season was expanded from 156 to 162 games and he used them all to hit homer 61 compared to Ruth's 60. Eric Dickerson had 16 games (and needed them) to break OJ's single season rushing record done in 14 games). Also, the stats I gave you for CC were not season-long game advantage stats. She's already done it.
Great breakdown! Her stats are unbelievable. They support MVP consideration without question. They also show that she is the hands down the greatest rookie of all-time. (BABY GOAT). Thank you for addressing the "no mid-range game" meme. She can score all day from inside the arc if she gets open looks from that range. You mentioned a stat that I am watching. She is .1 blocks per game away from averaging 15-5-5-1-1 on the season. No one has ever done that.
Sue Bird in her rookie year, 14.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.7 steals....was an AS, ROY, and placed 5th in MVP voting...they keep winning she'll get some votes, won't win it because of A'ja but she'll get votes
I doubt if they'll even let her be an all star. Most of the players will not vote for her and many of the coaches have disdain for her. She got a lot of fan votes, but the "wokies" will try to hold her down.
If the players or coaches want to shoot themselves in the foot, leave CC out of the all star game. Forget about the CC fans not tuning in, EVERYONE except the CC haters will boycott the game.
She'll be an all star. I just saw the official WNBA poster for the all star game on Twitter, it was A'ja on it , and CC, Aliyah and Arike. So, that's pretty much telling, I think.
Can Angel do this? Caitlin Clark leads ALL players in the WNBA for points scored and assisted on. 713 Second is Ionescu at 708 Third is Ogunbuwale at 684 Fourth is A Wilson at 638
Caitlin Clark is The Rookie Of The However-the-f*ck-long the WNBA has been in business. The league wasn’t real before she showed up. The cultural radar picks up everything of any significance at all and until now the W wasn’t even on the screen. I know it’s hard for these women to accept but this is ALL ABOUT CC. She is WITHOUT A DOUBT the most valuable player in the league. She is the league. If she disappears tomorrow they fall back to pulling 4500 on a Tuesday.
I don't think she has a chance either. I think she should be in the conversation though. It's amazing how much sway the media has even when everyone knows they are lying. Caitlin Clark didn't shoot well last night but still had 13 pts, 6 rebs, and 11 assists (the harder double double) and people talking about how bad she is. And those assists should've been 15 or 16.
The fans know who's excelling and who's not. The ALL-STAR voting shows that. The media can vote according to whatever agenda they have, or vote with true performance and value to team in mind. CC shouldn't care, because those are individual honors. SHE knows and the fans know who really deserves what. I believe CC could be both ROTY and MVP, if she keeps going the way she's going and the Fever make the playoffs.
I tried to watch Sue Bird's new podcast, she was talking about being at the Sky vs Fever game, she bragged on Caitlin but also said Reese was killing it. I'm not kidding. Of course I had to question that comment.
I love that you made a compelling case based on stats and performance. Historically, performance on the court has been the primary criterion and rightfully so. I love that you pointed out that "MVP" Durant necessarily equate to "best player" and justified your logic for saying so. Adding to your case, there's the fan voting for the all-star team. Caitlin's performance vs everybody else. And, of course, the V in MVP stands for "valuable". Comparing sales of jerseys, game tickets, WNBA streaming passes, etc. Plus tv viewership of games. We all know which player has demonstrated her "value" as measured in financial terms.
The awards should be skewed. Rookie of the year, Defensive player of the year and MVP are trending toward Angel and Catlyn. Alyssa Thomas for MVP maybe but no solid narrative for other players. The Lynx are doing well but I can not name a player.
MVP of the league. Not the best player. Who's brought more people and young girls watching. All the money and fans to watch and learn who the great players are. I can't believe yall you wanted more money and people seeing the 4:084:08
She would need to go off big time in the second half and the Fever would need to lock down a playoff spot for her to win MVP. Thats not likely to happen sufficiently enough to secure the award, but based on her recent play, she should atleast be in the conversation. I predict she will be in the top 10 in points, top 5 in assists and will be number one in points generated. That should make the ROTY discussion academic and open the door to a serious conversation. Angel will be number one in rebounds and top 20 in maybe one other category, maybe.
It is all about the Benjamins. Selling out arenas home and away , setting all time attendance records that require the hometeam to find a larger venue to accommodate her fan base. Selling record amounts of WNBA merchandise for her autgraphs to be signed on. This is proof Nike made the right choice. And these are the reasons she is the MVP of the league .
CC is also in the top 15-20 in rebounds, steals and blocks! They call her a defensive liability? Ridiculous. Her stats are straight up fantastic all around
They wont allow her to be the MVP, NOT EVEN ROY! Theyre pushing Angel Reese in a full court press in all of the media and NOT EVEN SAYING CC's NAME!
Sides literally had to bench CC to keep her from getting the triple-double. They don't want her to shine too bright.
Let's work on ROY. Even if Reese wins it - not deserving it - F _ _ _ em! Caitlin still will have many more great moments this season and is getting RICH!!!!

Magic Johnson JUST SHOCKED Everyone By Comparing Caitlin Clark To Larry Bird
Why is that a shock? That's the best comparison, Clark has so much in common with Larry Bird.

She's definitely Rookie of the Year and probably the MVP, but she may not get anything!😢The "Go woke, go broke crowd" is trying to hold her down out of jealousy. They talk about the CC fans being dumb, but those pushing or Reese make some of the most ignorant comments.

So far this season, she should be both ROY and MVP!. No one else very close. CC is in a class by herself.

The Under Armour deal did not include a signature shoe as far as I recall.

What is up with the WNBA, ESPN, and Rainbow Mafia Witches?
The reality is Reese’s game will not grow. She’s restricted to 2 feet around the basket. She’s too selfish to pass and get an assist, and all her rebounds are from her missed shots.
Do the WNBA, ESPN, and Rainbow Mafia Witches believe that it is not Clark, who is moving the numbers, but the other two Rookies, and the players?
The two other rookies have moved the number of seats in their own house - but that is it.
Chicago Sky in 2023 7,241.70 home, with Reese 8,658.60 - 1,416.9 more
Chicago Sky in 2023 is 6,447.40 home, with Reese 10,471.29 looks good until you back out Clarks games. 34,548 and their total drops from 73,299 to 38,751 or 7,750.2 - 1,500 more than 2023
Clark with an average of 7,332.15 in 2023 and 2024 15,332.92 with 20,333 the all-time high has moved the numbers across all houses and every away game is a sellout, throw in 2023 4,066.80 home tickets, 2024 16,757
Clark has caused two games to be transferred to bigger houses and Clark after beating the home time is getting a standing ovation in their house, which says everything.
As for TV, no one is watching the other games, it is all on Clark.
Coach Sides will not let that happen, ever.
Just subscribed to your channel. Never thought about mvp but you just put up a great argument. The fever lost there first 8 games. Since then they’re 8wins 4loses
The lead argument is solid. MVP over ROTY, but I don't mind them allowing the victor to be the one who gets the the post-season (if one doesn't). I also can't see how CC wins if AR continues to average a double double (especially if CC doesn't reach the playoffs).
Great win for WNBA, but I wish the target on CC wasn't as hot. Plenty of Rookies, and topics to discuss this year, great games, and teams, but they're milking CC.
If she goes deep into the playoffs maybe but ROTY is more likely.
CC showed a couple of sweet hesitation moves in that Aces game that just froze all of the defense.
CC for MVP would be pushing it but definitely ROTY is hers to lose.
She is a real MVP now, considering her star power is literally making the WNBA more valuable. Almost tripling the viewership, selling out venues, yet they don't want to give her any love.
MVP should actually be more plausible. MVP is the player that has been most valuable. Who has been more valuable to the league and her team more than CC? I'm from SC. so I watched last year a lot as an A. Boston fan. And this team right now is so much better. Boston had a great year but add CC and wow Boston and the Fever team has so many more options.
Reese has a shooting percentage under 40% from under the basket.
They give her the ROY and I will be done with the W!
Cc is shooting under Reese be done then
CC won’t be rookie of the year and the only way I can cope with that is telling myself that she won’t care.
She really doesn’t care. She knows she has game is great and she just wants wins.
she's clearly leading this team to making the playoffs which they havent done in 8 YEARS 🤷♂️ take away her presence from this team and they would probably be worst than last year.
Take away Boston and the team would be worst than last year, logical thinking is off base here.
@@keithlott5146 boston coming into the season outta shape and barely playing good against the top teams is not off base. go troll someone else ✌️
Her stats will her ROY.... A'ja should get MVP...
Caitlin Clark is what the WNBA has needed for the last 28 years. The savior has arrived. She is the ONE. She is the Messiah of women's basketball. She is the ANOINTED ONE.
A lot of these highlights have that whoops-too-slow quality of White Chocolate. And the imagination of Magic Johnson. And the range of Steph Curry. And the leadership IQ of LeBron. So, again, how is she NOT the MVP???
You have a better chance of winning two lotteries in one week. It will never happen and I am a fan!!
Absolutely. And I'm a dedicated Fever and CC fan
WNBA should redefine ASSISTS to include those assists recipients fouled in the act of shooting and making at least 1 of their FT. This would increase assists stats of players. CC has the most balance scoring (especially 3 pt shots) and assists based on statmamba compared with Stephen Curry and Sabrina Ionescu.
CC is the reason I'm watching, but I'm a purist when it comes to MVP: best player for the best team (or one of the best teams). Valuable means your team is winning.
CC is learning the pro game fast and still has things to work on. No way she's in the MVP conversation yet.
MVP ?? Well she's filled more seats, and has people paying attention to the WNBA again. That IS value to the league
Great video! Every time I see a new video from you I get pumped cause I'm about to see/hear some well spoken truth about our girl!!! If we beat the Aces tonight, the sky is the limit! Fever could go all the way and win the chip if they win tonight...
Thanks for thinking big but the MVP. WNBA has just gotten us thinking small fighting for rookie of the month.
Great analysis per usual. CC is the most influential rookie. Her not getting ROY is a strong-armed robbery.
Just wanted to add something. CC has been in a shooting slump since late in College. She had the 41 point game against LSU where she 😊made 8 3’s, and then had that first quarter of the finals where she scored 18 points. then cooled off the rest of the game. She had the 7 3’s against the mystics in the W. Here is my take. The more comfortable she gets in the second half, the more times she will get hot, AND have good shooting nights also. Her raw 2pt % and 3pt % will creep up, then of course her effective field goal % will do the same of course commensurately. Starting tonight. ☑️👌😎🤣 JP
The rookie of the Year and MVP I have no problem with either one😂 more so you can't keep greatness down
Unless The Fever are in championship contention, it would not be deserved.
MVPs don’t have a sub 500 record and get spanked by the top teams.
They're not going to give her MVP with the team below 50% win percentage.
Quite a take. Rookie of the year is in question even though have the third easiest schedule so far while the fever have the most difficult. CC isnt even guaranteed a spot in the all-star game.
Coach Sides subbing out Clark "for defensive reasons" is BS and an intentional snub to damage Clark in media and public eye. There aren't 5 better defenders on that team. Caitlin should've been out there for her defensive rebounding. "By their fruits ye shall know them".
Agreed!
Yes, that's really not a good look. I hate Sides for that. CC is an absolute cranch player, she has ice in her blood when shooting free throws, and Sides takes her out. Those 2 rebounds that Wallace had would've been a triple double for Clark. Sides needs to go.
You are a comedian 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No the coach is putting her back in the corner . Wheeler is going to start at point guard.
Can you believe that???
OH NO!!! Here comes the blowout then
MVP ur delusional
Statmamba also shows the average distance of CC's 3 pt shots compared with NBA player including Stephen Curry + own 3's and assisted.
Ha! I saw that. Her average three is further out. Crazy!
Awesome content - great work. I always love your analysis. I comment quite a bit and you may know that I think the league is dysfunctional because it is operating as a non-profit charity of the NBA. If they weren’t getting bailed out year after year you would have them embrace CC rather than disdain her.
They need to be ripped off the teet of the NBA. Sink or swim - period.
Thanks! I appreciate that! I agree about the NBA. I think it's a huge part of the problem. If the WNBA had to make money to stay in business, they'd change what they are doing (or suffer the consequences).
I just don't get the hate towards CC. The only thing she is guilty of is having a great collegiate career and being the first overall pick. She would very likely be leading the league in assists if her teammates had decent hands. As it is she is still amongst the leaders. Top 20 in every statistical category that matters. Points scored per game, assists per game, made 3 pointers per game, rebounds per game, steals per game, blocks per game. Fastest player to 300 points, 100 assists and 100 rebounds in history. Angel Reese is in the top 20 in only one of those categories, rebounding. This shouldn't even be a discussion at this point. Finally you destroyed the argumemt that she can't create her own shots.
There are a lot of things that factor into it, but the overwhelming big drive of all of the hatred and venom is simply old-fashioned jealousy. The WNBA has lost millions every single year of its 27-year existence. No one has ever been interested because it's not a good product and along comes this girl who has completely upended everything. Her popularity level is insane and all those players who toiled along in anonymity hate her for it.
Excellent reporting. So many so called fans only see greatness in scoring. I watched a lot of Iowa games and I always thought she was a pass first player. If she had the Kelsey Mitchell mentality she could have averaged 45 pts./game.
Thanks! I appreciate that!
There is no question in my mind that Caitlin is the MVP. No question at all. And the numbers prove it: NO ONE is so totally bored with Life to watch ANY of the WNBA events (or Olympic) that do not involve Caitlin Clark.
I watch bc of Clark, but my vote would go to A’ja Wilson. It’s not even close.
I don't agree. A'ja is the best forward, but she's not MVP. Without Chelsea Grey, A'ja and Aces were losing games. A'ja was not able to pull the team, and they have way better team than Fever. They lost like six games. On the other hand, without CC as a main point guard, the Fever offense collapses totally. And she makes them all look better.
Court General.
Nothing disagreement, but at one point they played less games in the WNBA.
True but you can say that for everything. For Roger Maris the season was expanded from 156 to 162 games and he used them all to hit homer 61 compared to Ruth's 60. Eric Dickerson had 16 games (and needed them) to break OJ's single season rushing record done in 14 games). Also, the stats I gave you for CC were not season-long game advantage stats. She's already done it.
Bring the receipts pal...
I did. Thanks for watching!
@@ChicksDigScarsPodcastnumbers don't lie. Good job pal
I love CC but she is not a candidate for MVP.
Thank you for being honest and objective.
Great breakdown! Her stats are unbelievable. They support MVP consideration without question. They also show that she is the hands down the greatest rookie of all-time. (BABY GOAT). Thank you for addressing the "no mid-range game" meme. She can score all day from inside the arc if she gets open looks from that range. You mentioned a stat that I am watching. She is .1 blocks per game away from averaging 15-5-5-1-1 on the season. No one has ever done that.
Thanks! I appreciate that! That block stat is going to be a tough one to get but you never know.
@@ChicksDigScarsPodcastyou have these people delusional on this channel do better😭😂😂
Sue Bird in her rookie year, 14.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.7 steals....was an AS, ROY, and placed 5th in MVP voting...they keep winning she'll get some votes, won't win it because of A'ja but she'll get votes
I doubt if they'll even let her be an all star. Most of the players will not vote for her and many of the coaches have disdain for her. She got a lot of fan votes, but the "wokies" will try to hold her down.
I reckon the system of the WNBA will put her in because of the backlash the system will get
If the players or coaches want to shoot themselves in the foot, leave CC out of the all star game. Forget about the CC fans not tuning in, EVERYONE except the CC haters will boycott the game.
She'll be an all star. I just saw the official WNBA poster for the all star game on Twitter, it was A'ja on it , and CC, Aliyah and Arike. So, that's pretty much telling, I think.
Can Angel do this?
Caitlin Clark leads ALL players in the WNBA for points scored and assisted on. 713
Second is Ionescu at 708
Third is Ogunbuwale at 684
Fourth is A Wilson at 638
Caitlin Clark is The Rookie Of The However-the-f*ck-long the WNBA has been in business. The league wasn’t real before she showed up. The cultural radar picks up everything of any significance at all and until now the W wasn’t even on the screen. I know it’s hard for these women to accept but this is ALL ABOUT CC. She is WITHOUT A DOUBT the most valuable player in the league. She is the league. If she disappears tomorrow they fall back to pulling 4500 on a Tuesday.
I have to agree with the majority. no way she has a snowballs chance in hell to get mvp. Hell they trying to snuff RoY from her.
I don't think she has a chance either. I think she should be in the conversation though. It's amazing how much sway the media has even when everyone knows they are lying. Caitlin Clark didn't shoot well last night but still had 13 pts, 6 rebs, and 11 assists (the harder double double) and people talking about how bad she is. And those assists should've been 15 or 16.
@@ChicksDigScarsPodcastmy man you are DELUSIONAL..You guys are putting unrealistic expectations on this young lady..
The fans know who's excelling and who's not. The ALL-STAR voting shows that. The media can vote according to whatever agenda they have, or vote with true performance and value to team in mind. CC shouldn't care, because those are individual honors. SHE knows and the fans know who really deserves what. I believe CC could be both ROTY and MVP, if she keeps going the way she's going and the Fever make the playoffs.
I tried to watch Sue Bird's new podcast, she was talking about being at the Sky vs Fever game, she bragged on Caitlin but also said Reese was killing it. I'm not kidding. Of course I had to question that comment.
I love that you made a compelling case based on stats and performance. Historically, performance on the court has been the primary criterion and rightfully so.
I love that you pointed out that "MVP" Durant necessarily equate to "best player" and justified your logic for saying so.
Adding to your case, there's the fan voting for the all-star team. Caitlin's performance vs everybody else.
And, of course, the V in MVP stands for "valuable". Comparing sales of jerseys, game tickets, WNBA streaming passes, etc. Plus tv viewership of games. We all know which player has demonstrated her "value" as measured in financial terms.
It's actually quite simple, imo. What player brings the most fans to the game? Most ''Valuable'' Player, without a doubt, Caitlin Clark.
The awards should be skewed. Rookie of the year, Defensive player of the year and MVP are trending toward Angel and Catlyn. Alyssa Thomas for MVP maybe but no solid narrative for other players. The Lynx are doing well but I can not name a player.
MVP?😂You all are delusional in here🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
MVP of the league.
Not the best player.
Who's brought more people and young girls watching.
All the money and fans to watch and learn who the great players are.
I can't believe yall you wanted more money and people seeing the 4:08 4:08
She would need to go off big time in the second half and the Fever would need to lock down a playoff spot for her to win MVP. Thats not likely to happen sufficiently enough to secure the award, but based on her recent play, she should atleast be in the conversation. I predict she will be in the top 10 in points, top 5 in assists and will be number one in points generated. That should make the ROTY discussion academic and open the door to a serious conversation. Angel will be number one in rebounds and top 20 in maybe one other category, maybe.
.............-----------********** ROOKIE OF THE YEAR " Caitlin Clark " *************--------------................
Of course she deserves MVP, look how many new people she’s brought to the league!!
It is all about the Benjamins. Selling out arenas home and away , setting all time attendance records that require the hometeam to find a larger venue to accommodate her fan base. Selling record amounts of WNBA merchandise for her autgraphs to be signed on. This is proof Nike made the right choice. And these are the reasons she is the MVP of the league .
So she culd be MVP. but not rookie of the year. 😂
How crazy wuld that be.
CC leads all rookies, in assists, steals, blocks, 3 pointers, butts in seats per game, humility and class.
As fans, How to we influence/fix the unfairness? Call sponsors??
CC will get both ROTY and MVP!
Sides and Wheeler scissored last night. So Wheeler may start
Best cc video yet
Thanks! I appreciate that!
They won’t allow her to shine and she might not win ROTY 😢
Wait until the fever and CC are back from a month break🔥
Can you use highlights when doing stats, Thanks
You must've took some good stuff this morning
They will not allow a rookie in any league to get it if they dod not give it to Randy Moss
Can you do stats on present point guards this year
Loved this! Thank you for this NEEDED clarification!!! Especially at the end. You go boy! 🎉
Thanks! I really appreciate that!
MVP ROOKIE OF THE LEAGUE!!!
