Agree. Clark even commends her opponents! Man, it was sweet beating Sun. Curious why no Flagrant Foul on Thomas for smacking Claire in head! i did send complaint. That needs reviewed! Petty! Call it both way refs! Wasn’t it Thomas that body slammed Reese to floor? Correct me if wrong.😂
@@kennethsmith6367 I'm pretty sure Clark will not say she's being disrespected, that's something the others would say and have said. Clark is simply balling out with Mitchell and even that has the haters triggered, go figure.
I guarantee that if you asked every single coach in the WNBA who they would want to start a new franchise with (all encompassing...skill/media/marketability/$$$) it would be CC. The only others I could see getting any votes would be A'ja/Breanna/Napheesa.
This list is clearly positionless, and the moment you're saying you're evaluating positionless you are immediately saying these players regardless of position are the best in the league. Why am I not at that point evaluating THAT based on the MVP race standings? CC is favored number 2 at the moment, number 3 at worst, how is she not supposedly top 5 in the league then? Somebody lying bruh 🤔
It took 75% of the season to name her player of the week after untold number of records broken and on pace to break all time records in the last ten games. You think they are going get WNBA 1st team right? In other words sports media is filled with idiots.
I don't have an issue with list. 2nd team for a rook is good. I would only point out that the fake Roy argument looses steam when they don't include you know who on the team.
If the league was dissolved today and I could choose one player to start my team it would be Caitlin Clark. Not because she is the best player, but because she is the most exciting to watch. That means the stands are full of cheering fans. That means my team's merch is flying off the racks. That means millions of TV viewers. Now, A'ja is (no debate) the best player in the WNBA. But she is "the woman Big Fundamental" meaning a complete, excellent ball game. With very little flash. Aside: Boston is my second team center.
CC origin story is happening now. We're all witnesses to it. Some of us are enjoying it, others are in denial. But in a few seasons every head will bow, every tounge will confess. The cream will always rise to the top.
Caitlin is rookie of the year and is top 3 in the MVP race. Reese wins the "Worst Shooter" and "Worst Shooting %" in the league. A'ja has blown the MVP. Her team has doubled their losses from last year already and has dropped from #1 last year to #5 in the standings this year. This disqualifies A'ja from the MVP race as the MVP needs to go to a player on a Top 3 team.
Seriously..A'Ja is balling ..42pts in her last game and a true leader. The season is not over for MVP. Some these fans are delusional and not recognize basketball greatness. Because people wish something..it doesn't make factual.
The Fever are not a top 5 team and CC is Not a top 5 player definitely not at her position quit the cap 🧢 and the first team list is just fine I’m not taking anybody off AT is better defensively than CC is offensively the numbers show it AT’s defensive rating compared to CC’s offensive rating also show it so CC deserves to be on the 2nd team not 1st team
Come on- how many times do you move the line- if CC did this or if she would have played like this- we just didn’t know 😂🤬 Especially ESPN who followed her her senior basketball season-than she comes to WNBA- ESPN needs to shake cages n get new voices-the hypocrisy of out of respect- sick of haters n holding CC to a whole different standard
I agree with you 💯.Doesn't surprise me. This is all political and I lost respect for ESPN a long time ago. Next to CC, Arike is my second favorite player in the W and can't believe she's not on the list, but she did decline Team USA because she didn't like the politics, so she's getting punished for that.
To be honest I don't recognize any of the other players but Caitlin. I don't understand how a network who is reaping phenomenal benefits just because of Caitlin would shun her out of anything? Caitlin is the most important player in the league right now! It is about her talent! She's getting the attention because of her talent. Why don't they just take the money and say thank you! It's crazy to think they have any influence over viewership. People are watching games because of Caitlin no other reason!
with jackie remember jackie is playing 2 way.....like i really wish their is a easy way to see which player allows most point to be scored on ....pretty much how these players do with their defensive assignments/who also should be their defensive assignment
Clark is on pace to break all time season assist record and all time Most Points Created (Points+assists) record. Fever on pace to reach .500 and the playoffs after being cellar dweller. But apparently that don't mean much in the crazy old world of the WNBA.
If I was CC, I would tell them. Thanks but no thanks I’m a rookie I don’t have all that experience for y’all. Maybe next year and see where the ratings go in the TV ratings end up maybe the WNBA will straighten shit out and get rid of some these thugs.
Sabrina Lonescu & CC are the best guards currently however Sabrina is slightly better than CC currently. The eye test shows you if you watched the games. Sabrina's team is 1st in the standings, she played a tough stretch for NY without Breanna who is supposed to be ahead of her in the MVP race which is ridiculous. The main reason is a basic one, Sabrina actually blocks out. Please read it before commenting, CC is a great rebounder for a guard but she's lousy at blocking out. The Fever in general are a team who rebound as a group. Don't let the stats fool you, Boston isn't great at defensive boards, so when Lexie Hull is in she roams to block out the player CC should have gotten. This is the reason why it looked like the Lynx had a wide open 3 in the corner all day long. Like Charles Barkley once said," if you don't block out, you get your feelings hurt". CC allows her man(girl/woman) to constantly cause a mismatch for opposing teams. I get why cause she wants to run, so her feet aren't squared up but in a runners sprint type. The Fever need to invest in getting a solid rebounder, no need for points just clean the glass & pass to CC however currently that's not the case. CC is a rookie she will get better. It took Steph Curry a few years to learn how to box out as well. When you watch the Liberty, Sabrina & Breanna are text book which helps the team limit 2nd chances. It's the little things that go unnoticed which can cause problems for teammates which eventually lead to a lose. Sorry for the essay, Sabrina & CC should be 1a & 1b but there's still a gap.
This is all proof of the wnba isn't honest and everything is rigged!! Thats not what sports are supposed to be about!! I now have to question everything about the games!! Answers question about the referees being biased!! Coach Side's seemingly making decisions that cost games!! The fix is in by the actions and inaction of the league!! CC should just walk away and let them go back slowly ending their league!! She would probably only build up any league she decided to go to with fans and media viewership !! Increasing her worth and pay!!!
for your draft question, I love Collier, but Caitlin younger, so I'd take Caitlin. CC still has huge upside, Collier is at prime. And women may not play as long so definitely taking youth.
Nah, this is the politics that those college students were talking about last month about the ROTY race. Sabrina is a sharpshooter, who came close to beating Steph Curry this year. And she's more "experienced" which well... something you can't measure but something they always say. As for Alyssa Thomas.... well... not sure why you have so many forwards and only one guard. I am surprised though that Griner isn't on there. Not that she belongs there this year, but usually they strut her out there for visibility, since she is one of the new WNBA stars that were known before the Caitlin Clark effect took effect.
Brittany Griner shouldve been there before Allyssa. Asya Wilson will be number 1, Arike 2. Kaleah Cooper over Mcbride. Jackie plays good defense. So It's not always about offense.
I’m a newbie so forgive me if I offend. I’ve seen Brittany play a few times now and didn’t rate her. I did go and watch videos about her and could see she was talented but I haven’t seen it presently. I’ll pay closer attention to her now.
Aja is a vet and the highest scorer, makes perfect sense! I love CC I’m watching because of her. I really don’t think CC would be bothered coming second after Aja! Arike should be on the first list too she’s incredible.
Izzy, may I call you Izzy? Ok Izzy YOU KNOW THE CLARK IS PLAYING AT 7 TONIGHT RIGHT?? Let’s Go!! …but ki lie she needs to step up her game. I want a triple double OR over 40 points!!
Using Sabrina's career stats vs this season is misleading and shows me you dont know basketball at all. Sabrina is averaging 19.5 PPG. Also new york is the #1 seed lead by her and Breanna Stewart
Is this really a controversy? I mean dont you creators do “the all star snubs” videos with every sport? I guess it’s a fun discussion, but not really disrespectful.
Young is not playing well. She shouldn't be on any of those lists in my opinion. Clark deserves to be on 1st team all wnba and Arike in 2nd team all wnba
I really don't see how second team All WNBA is a slight as a rookie. Both guards ahead of CC are on better teams. She'll be a first teamer for years to come. I don't see the disrespect.
ESPN has become irrelevant....nobody listens to their outmoded touch crap anymore.....
Agree. Clark even commends her opponents! Man, it was sweet beating Sun. Curious why no Flagrant Foul on Thomas for smacking Claire in head! i did send complaint. That needs reviewed! Petty!
Call it both way refs! Wasn’t it Thomas that body slammed Reese to floor? Correct me if wrong.😂
Hide this list before chennedy carter sees it.
lmao
How can ESPN release the All-WNBA team before the season is complete? Doesn't make sense.
Clark is not worrying about any snubbing done by Espn.
She's trying to get to the playoffs.
Caitlin is kinda petty. She shows out whenever she’s “disrespected” one of the readers she’s a great competitor.
@@kennethsmith6367 I'm pretty sure Clark will not say she's being disrespected, that's something the others would say and have said.
Clark is simply balling out with Mitchell and even that has the haters triggered, go figure.
Why the heck is it only ESPN voting? That's subjectively questionable.
Clarke would be the number one pick, why? Her skills and her young age. You can build a dynasty around her.
Do all these other players get pressed and double teamed from the half court line?
I’ll draft Clark first for sure! Sales, viewership and talent.
ESPN made themselves irrelevant years ago. I deleted all their apps and don’t have there cable channels either.
I guarantee that if you asked every single coach in the WNBA who they would want to start a new franchise with (all encompassing...skill/media/marketability/$$$) it would be CC. The only others I could see getting any votes would be A'ja/Breanna/Napheesa.
ESPN is a joke! She is the best PG in the game and should be first team. So, they basically pick 1 guard
ESPN and CNN are one and the same.
I draft CC # 1. I like Ionesco at the 2 guard but Alyssa Thomas needs to go.
This list is clearly positionless, and the moment you're saying you're evaluating positionless you are immediately saying these players regardless of position are the best in the league. Why am I not at that point evaluating THAT based on the MVP race standings? CC is favored number 2 at the moment, number 3 at worst, how is she not supposedly top 5 in the league then? Somebody lying bruh 🤔
When did WNBA put out their MVP candidates?
Big dawg, you saw the current MVP race standings in this video.....smh@@bigman7570
how can they vote this with still a forth of the season to go?
It took 75% of the season to name her player of the week after untold number of records broken and on pace to break all time records in the last ten games. You think they are going get WNBA 1st team right? In other words sports media is filled with idiots.
That stat they showed on Twitter between CC and Sabrina had Sabrina's career not just the 2024 season.
I don't have an issue with list. 2nd team for a rook is good. I would only point out that the fake Roy argument looses steam when they don't include you know who on the team.
CC is only second to A’ja, and that’s on periodt!
It’s all political with ESPN, if CC was a lesbian & woke. She would be 1st team no questions asked.
If the league was dissolved today and I could choose one player to start my team it would be Caitlin Clark. Not because she is the best player, but because she is the most exciting to watch. That means the stands are full of cheering fans. That means my team's merch is flying off the racks. That means millions of TV viewers. Now, A'ja is (no debate) the best player in the WNBA.

Arike should be 1st team fasho fasho
I bet they put Angel in first defensive team.

Leaving Kah out is a choice for sure
Airke didn’t make the list?
I haven't watched ESPN in at least 20 years 😂
Come on- how many times do you move the line- if CC did this or if she would have played like this- we just didn’t know 😂🤬

Fly make a video listing all the Records CC 22 has broken as a rooky and even a player.
One thing for sure there’s not just one great player❤

Kaitlyn, of course.
Alyssa Thomas is WNBA Draymond Green

I think the WNBA isn’t doing position less for All WNBA like the NBA is doing so if that’s true you not taking Thomas a forward off for Clark a guard
I think they are fam. They have 3 forwards on the list.
CC’s stats are based on the team she is currently on. Put her on that first team and they will dominate any 5 player team in the world.
Nah, this is the politics that those college students were talking about last month about the ROTY race. Sabrina is a sharpshooter, who came close to beating Steph Curry this year. And she's more "experienced" which well... something you can't measure but something they always say. As for Alyssa Thomas.... well... not sure why you have so many forwards and only one guard.

Not that she belongs there this year, but usually they strut her out there for visibility, since she is one of the new WNBA stars that were known before the Caitlin Clark effect took effect.
CBS isn't that much better.
Based on statistics Carlin Clark should first team, it’s still early! Second team? So why she didn’t make the Olympic team? Hmmmmm🤷🏽
I can understand a case for Ionescu being as good as CC today rookie vs veteran. CC is way better than Alyssa Thomas
That ain’t fair Izzy 😂 do the same thing and compare Sabrina and CC like you did when comparing CC to Alyssa
Haha I skipped mine cause somebody did it in the tweets
Ok when do they play each other?? I’ll put a bill on the seconds.
And somehow Angel will still win ROTY ... lol
The first team is reserved for grown-ass women… 😂
Number 3 in mvp voting but not in top 5 for all WNBA. That’s some b………t
When did WNBA put out their MVP voting?
Brittany Griner shouldve been there before Allyssa. Asya Wilson will be number 1, Arike 2. Kaleah Cooper over Mcbride. Jackie plays good defense. So It's not always about offense.

Tough decision… even though CC is my fav player in the W, I’d pick Aja first then CC second… right now. Ask me again next year
Aja is a vet and the highest scorer, makes perfect sense! I love CC I’m watching because of her. I really don’t think CC would be bothered coming second after Aja! Arike should be on the first list too she’s incredible.
How she is running for mvp n she’s second all wnba
What even is this list? Please explain
Number one Caitlin Clark will not receive the Rookie of the Year nor MVP nobody in the WNBA launcher
Izzy, may I call you Izzy? Ok Izzy YOU KNOW THE CLARK IS PLAYING AT 7 TONIGHT RIGHT?? Let’s Go!! …but ki lie she needs to step up her game. I want a triple double OR over 40 points!!
relax

I really don't see how second team All WNBA is a slight as a rookie. Both guards ahead of CC are on better teams. She'll be a first teamer for years to come. I don't see the disrespect.
Position concept ring a bell?
I'm good with CC on the second team. Rookie on 2nd team all wnba, that's pretty awesome to me.
Clark is best guard in the league 3rd best player in the league behind Wilson and Stewart no
Clark doesn’t care about that 😂
