Wrong. Nobody heard of CC until that LSU game in the championship which LSU won. Cc even said she talks trash in games, but ya'll crown her a ls an angel
100% with you. I was about to write the same thing. Reese is trying her hardest to make herself relevant by rising to the status of "rival", but Clark doens't even acknowledge Reese's existence, outclasses her in every respect on- and off-court, and keeps increasing her stats and popularity.
That girl is a mess. She's no professional, but a high school bully at heart. She needs someone to seriously help her grow up and manage her image and attitude.
Caitlin Clark, a 22-years old rookie, has shown more MATURITY compared to these grown women in the WNBA. Their immaturity has made them jealous and hateful against Caitlin Clark. Caitlin is exactly what the WNBA needs because the league is dominated by immature grown women and the fans are telling them that Caitlin Clark is what we like players to be in the WNBA.
"Angel Reese ties WNBA rookie record with six consecutive double-doubles". Angel is playing great and breaking rookie records of her own. Your comment reeks of someone having a political agenda, not a sporting one.
That's what most people don't get. Angel's been playing long enough to know how to make it look unintentional but she wasn't even close to making a block on the ball. She was going for the head.

Caitlin going about her business Angel Reese keeps playing the victim. It dumb! Talks about Catlin in the negative all the time Truly there is resentment. No cap!!!
Yea it really is & so annoying!! I stopped watching this conversation b/c I'm tired of the shows talking about this rilvry that ISN'T really a rilvry!!! Reese's nonsense dozn't have anything to do w/ her performance as a player!!! She's not in the same league as Caitlin, pun intended!!! She's only Caitlin's villain b/c Reese GAVE HERSELF that role!!! She went on social media posted a pic of her 'JOKER SNEAKERS' that she'd be purposely playing in yesterday's game b/c she was playing against Caitlin & tweeted sumthing?! Its a bit much, when u're not working on ur own game, but are merely focused on trying to do out due another player whom u are not even on par w/?!?! She wanted to be villain & now she's playing the victim?!?!
She knew she ain't blocking it. If she just let her team mate, who is in position to block that shot, make the defensive play, she could have gotten the loose ball from the block and make a transition play for her team. She just hate CC so much she doesn't even think about the game anymore.
if and maybes in competitions usually dont work get in the game. she a big girl you kill them by playing better which she has cut it out. refs in wnba need some work
Stop it she was never getting the ball she had no chance it was angel getting press that's all she wants that's like the 4th time clark has had her head hunted this year
I wanna set something straight, Reese DIDN'T beat Iowa for the national championship, go look at box scores. Reese wasn't even top three player in the game for her team, Williams (20 points), Carson (22 points), Morris (21points) all scored more then Reese (15 points) did. Three teammates n Clark (30points) scored more then Reese did, Reese won a ring because her teammates played better then her n carried her to a championship win that's just an actual stats fact.
True, but I think she was pissed she got beat on the play and decided a foul would send a message. Unfortunately it just put two points on the board for the Fever because Cardoso was in position and did block the shot without fouling. I think it was a dumb move on her part. She has a lot to learn apparently.
The reason she’s complaining about the fouls is because earlier in the season up until the last two games anything and everything was allowed against CC you could Powell driver to the floor and you didn’t get a foul call. Now that they are calling, Angel Reese is upset.
I actually wondered if that might be case as well!!! I thought Caitlyn's coach gave a good comment when she was interviewed in the post game. When asked about the foul, she said, she was glad that the right foul was called & that enabled them to carry on w/ the game & it didn't impede w/ it. BUT I didn't realize that they are playing again next weekend?! In their 3rd game, if Reese pulls another cheap shot, that will be her 3rd time, considering how Reese behaved when Kennedy shoved C.C to the floor last game!!! Reese also posted online that she'd be wearing her 'joker sneakers' for yesterday's game!!!
To have a rivalry BOTH players have to care. Clark does nothing but defend Reese and praise her while Reese taunts and sub tweets Clark. They are not the same 🤷🏻♀️
You nailed it!!! It was a cheap shot when Reese knew she cudn't go up against Caitlin!!! I gotta say, I've been seeing some podcasters say, that they wished that both Caitlin & Reese were on the Olympic team?!?! I DO NOT!!!! I'd rather Caitlin be on, or neither. Reese to me hasn't proven herself as player or or as a professional athlete!!! They'd be imo setting a bad example by rewarding her poor sportsmen like conduct. Reese is the next known rookie, but for NOT how she plays but due to her antics on & off the court. The pundits need to stop talking about Reese vs. Caitlin.
Agree with everything you all are saying… however when you say “she hasn’t proven herself…” you forget her accomplishments preprofessional career, her rookie opening game stats and how she is handling all the hate and attention… this young lady is single-handedly carrying the WNBA to a higher level of recognition while keeping it real, deflecting the haters with grace and continues to play a level of basketball that anyone else would buckle under all the scrutiny and pressure and fall apart. May God continue to bless and keep her focused and strong. I’ve never been a basketball fan but I am now. It’s because of what she brings to the game. Athleticism, class, finesse, speed, mindset, grace…. It’s like watching a new chess master out maneuver all the pros.
You can't allow players to take these cheap shots on Caitlin. The WNBA should be ejecting players. When Caitlin gets injured watch how attendance drops,.
listen she not getting the special treatment she doesn't want it and if she gets it, it would only make her more of a target and enigma. hard fouls is part of the game ask draymond green
Clark scored 71 points against Reese's LSU teams, she scored 3,880 against everyone else. Clark was going to set records without Reese even in her life so stop the crap Reese made Clark relevant argument because numbers prove Clark was going to be a household name without Reese but we all know Reese because of her games against Clark n that's just a plain truthful fact. If you compare Reese's college numbers to others that played her position she's not even top twenty in NCAA history while Clark is possibly the greatest NCAA women's player ever, the argument is cute n even comedic but stats just prove it's as one sided as a poodle taking on a corso canine.
Its exhausting & it makes me wonder if they seem to be pushing this agenda assuming that ALL women love watching women being pitted against one another?!?! Reese, alone, is NO COMPETITION against Caitlin!!! We CAN really love watching Caitlin play, because she can ball!!!!! 🏀 I don't need any other antics!!!!!
They are making it a Kardashian or a drama show. Instead of making it about the players skill set. The other women in WNBA and the media wans to push a hero and villain story arc. The Hero is Caitlyn Clark 22 and the Villain are WNBA jealous/petty, USA women's selection committee and the media.
It looked like piss poor play. Reese had no chance of blocking that shot without fouling. That is why she got called. Where was she on D before Clack drove to the hoop against 2 huge players? I hope the league puts a stop to the acrimony.
Caitlin Clark is an exceptional basketball player and role model. The WNBA should be thankful she is here now. Sad that they are just resentful and quite frankly petty
If Angel Resse had not previously congratulated a teammate for attempting to take Caitland Clark out during a dead ball, this foul would probably not be up for debate. Angel Resse is either not listening to her advisors or they're giving her bad advice, she's costing herself possible endorsement deals (money) with every passing game and or cry of being victimized and or sexualized that she's bringing upon herself. Not a positive look/vibe.
@@a2knyc Couldn't take the smoke from the push back, and realized how ridiculous she looked. Also, she probably has people who are her real friends and they possibly pulled her by the coat tail.
He got it exactly right. The controversy is only part of the story, but it has us talking about it. It has us watching the games too. "there is no bad publicity."
Don't agree. I don't need Reese to enjoy watching Caitlin play, or that somehow Reese makes me want to watch them play. What I was actually happy about was that the Refs made the right call, & they were able 2 get right back to the game!!!
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. This chick is so lost. You know what would be great for women's basketball? For them all to act like adults and conduct themselves with class and drop all the petty, catty nonsense and just play the game. Catlin is the singular reason ticket sales have exploded this year.
I know!!! I stop watching when they cont'd on w/ the Caitlin vs. Reese rilvry. It's insulting to the fans. If Reese was this outstanding player & they were truly equals in their playing, THAN I'd argue that it could be a great rilvry to watch BUT it's NOT!!! Shady McCoy on SPEAK said it well, that he watches Caitlin for how she plays ball!!!! 🏀 Whereas he knew Reese for her antics playing against C.C which started w/ her giving a hand gesture to Caitlin & NOT for balling!!!!
That's what I've noticed the most about her playing, is rebounding to herself!!! Its sad really?! As a rookie w/ spare time she should really practicing instead of focusing on this 1 sided rilvry & social media etc.
_"underlying animus"_ - no, I don't think so. In my view, however, Reese has always has a huge chip on her shoulder about Caitlin. After examining the slow motion replays, it seems to me that Reese must have known she couldn't reach the ball *before* she began the 'swatting' movement that resulted in making contact with Caitlin's head. In other words, it was deliberate and not a situation in which she swiped at the ball and didn't quite make contact.
Its laughable that they call what's going on between AR and CC a rivalry. That's like saying another average player has a rivalry with LeBron, Ronaldo, Messi, etc. CC is miles ahead of AR in every respect please find CC an actual Rival
I'm about 9-mins into this video, & it's the strangest video on CC I think I've seen thus far, & I've seen many of them. I'm seeing nuance, I'm seeing objective truths...just what do these folks think they're doing??
My thoughts, exactly. Neither Bird nor Magic pulled crap like this. Their games and skills got all the attention they got, on their own, without petty, stupid drama, like this. Both had mature, respectful, attitudes, and behavior. Clark is the same as them. Reese isn't.
I didn't watch Basketball then, I'm curious I bet however that they could compete against each other!!! Meaning I just don't see Reese on par w/ Caitlin's level of performance AT ALL!!!!
If this is who she is, she needs to be met with some consequences. This is clumsy and reckless. Don't push in the back of people getting up for rebound. Don't hit people just randomly. And don't flag people when they're up in the air. Play hard, don't play thug. This game is basketball, and there are rules to protect the players.
Caitlin gave a master class yesterday !! She is the best Rookie !! Also not letting her on team USA when she already won 3 gold medals representing USA 🇺🇸 DURING FIFA 2019-2021 And won MVP TOO !! Check that out !!
Exactly!!! Reese is starting imo to really embarrass herself!!! I've got to give Kennedy credit, when another Sky player fouled b/c who WAS actually playing competitively hard against Caitlin, that they got entangled & Caitlin would've been pushed to the floor IF it wzn't for Kennedy putting her arms out SO that Caitlin wouldn't fall!!! Some1 who brought this up on their podcast commented that if it had been Reese she probably would've backed away so that Caitlin would've fallen hard to the floor!!! The oth player wasn't playing badly just hard & competitive!!! There's a difference between being a bully/dirty play & being competitive & playing aggressively.
#7 AR, post player - rookie stats show TWO blocks. #1 CC, point guard - rookie stats show FIFTEEN blocks. There is no rivalry except in media. Without CC. you wouldn't even have this segment. AR is a non factor.
Theres no rivalry, Reese want to create one to get attention. She claim to embrace the villain role now playing a victim? Shes just an attention seeker, good thing Clark don't bite on her drama. The players hate the idea thst she has a big fan base and majority ssyimg she's the face of ghe league esp come from NBA players and former WNBA players as well.
ITS WAS CREATED BY REDNECK RACISTS WHEN REESE STOMPED CLARK FOR A NATIONAL TITLE!!! THE MEDIA AND THE LEAGUE WANTS THE RIVALRY AS DOES THE BIGOTED CLARK CULT.
The only reason I’m still watching is because of players like Caitlin who don’t perpetuate the drama and divisiveness. Great players are joyful to watch. All the negative talk, while it may be great for the media so there’s something dramatic to talk about, sucks the joy out of the game for me. I don’t think I’m alone. Greatness is demonstrated through actions on and off the court. Let any rivalries be about basketball play; the rest is nonsense. There’s a big difference between a “star” who has become a star for their merits and a reality TV star. I’m rooting for Angel to elevate her game (and stop with the nonsense) so she can be a real star. Both she and Caitlin can be stars.
Do people forget that Caitlin Clark is statistically the greatest womens college basketball player of all time? Maybe that's a major reason why she is popular? Just a thought.
Angel had a chance to just say "It was a basketball play, I tried to make the block but made hard contact with Caitlyn. It was unintentional and I didn't have a problem with the upgrade." Caitlyn said, "All i cared about was making the 2 free throws. It was a basketball play and that's all i cared about". Cait didn't say anything about refs, being targeted, getting hard fouls, just kept it classy and was like "It basketball. I just need to keep hoopn"
Yep, Reese made herself sound worse. But I wish these shows could get passed Reese!!! She doesn't & it doesn't warrant this much attention!!! I don't agree that ALL attention is good attention!!! I wished they'd focus on the players & the actual game more!!!
I’m not that hip to Canty fr fr; But he just said what analyst I’ve been watching for years are afraid to say on air…. I’m not taking up for obvious calls Reese just complaining cause they’re making her use more skill then just letting her get away with 💩 in college for having a big name
If these flagrant fouls keep happening people will stop watching the game if the WNBA doesn’t start suspending players that break obvious attempts to injure any player.
Whatever these women have against Caitlyn Clark will eventually translate into respect. She's not cryin about it, she is showing remarkable skills in spite of what they throw at her, game after game. We all see this happening, and we don't understand why the Angel Reeses in the W can't give her props. She will show them all.
That was NOT a basketball play! Just because Canty tries to talk wit a stern voice doesn’t mean he’s right. Reese swung wild like that on purpose. Look at her lips when she swings
Angel acts like that because y’all don’t hold her actions accountable, you constantly call it a rivalry where time and time again one has showed you she wants no part of but for the sake of ratings you the media continue to push it when it’s about racism, jealousy and hatred but y’all want the one being bullied to speak out against them things. Like wake up and understand what’s really going on here, you’re not witnessing a rivalry you’re witnessing someone being bully who’s going to say the right answer no matter what occupation she was in being bullied and it covered up by calling a rivalry and others want in on it because you’ll mask it for them as well.
CC bring her fanbase from college and high school. They’ve been following her for years. That’s not her fault. The public at large does not watch the WNBA are giving it a chance now that CC is there and somebody’s new generation of players.
From I've seen and heard in interviews, the vast majority of players in the W are not jealous of Caitlin. They see the benefits she brings to the game and their careers, and they embrace her being in the league. Some good interviews with Arike, Satou Sabally, and others do a good job of making it clear that the players don't hate Caitlin Clark. If anything, they hate the noise from unruly fans making it harder for everyone (esp CC). With their unrealistic expectations, crazy conspiracy theories, and sometimes obvious racism, they are creating a hostile environment that would make it hard for any rookie. The players don't blame Caitlin for that. IMO, a few players with personal vendettas are making it look like something much bigger and more insidious than it is.
I think you make a fair point about a “few” players but I think you’re missing the larger point. Maybe check out Monica McNutt’s interview with John Stewart. The resenment is also there. Some of CCs fans are over the top, but not all of them.
This conversation is boring. Don’t even bother talking about this foul. It’s one foul, it was the right call, and the game went on. What’s even the point here
If the league stays the same way throughout the year. I hope next season she packs up and goes to the Europe league and takes her fans with her. Maybe those girls will appreciate what Caitlin brings to the table.
ARE THE CAMILLA AND ANGEL REESE GETTING THOSE SAME CALLS IN THE BOX. ALOT OF MISSED CALLS BY REFS IN MULTIPLE GAMES I MEAN THE FOULS NEARLY HAVE TO BE KO FOULS.
Maybe if she stops ball hogging, causing them to lose and sending out dumb tweets towards CC that has nothing to do with playing basketball she'll get some recognition. Then, after all that aggressive tweeting only to show up after the game crying. Also, you all need to realize you cannot make people like you or invest in you. Fans like who they like and most of those players are only selling themselves to their Culture and lgbqtrs as it seems to me and not the whole world. All that dumb mess Angel says I am who I am well that doesn't sell to the world and kids. Most of CC fans are kids and guess what, that's 3 ticket sales of more when the parents take them. I would say they'll learn but they want as they're too stubborn to change.
Well these shows aren't helping w/ FOCUSING ON Reese!!! I'm actually really surprised they focused on Reese after yesterday's game?! Yes, Reese fouled & the Refs MADE the right call, BUT it's the pundits SO focused on Reese & Reese herself making a lot of noise to get attn that it isn't enjoyable or actually imo the right attn!!! I definitely agree w/ u there. I've noticed that ALL these shows have become the same & are about opinions & NOT really about the games & it's becoming SO annoying as fans of Caitin's, at least some us wud rather the game & players be talked about & not this oth crap!!! The Fever's coach said it best along w/ Caitlin in their post game interviews, the Ref made the right call & the game was able to go on!!! 4 players on the Fever ALL played well & more together!!! The interview postgame was more abt 2 oth players beside Caitlin, Kelsey Mitchell & Aliyah Boston & the great game they played, along w/ another vet on the team!!! And how Aliyah Boston & Caitlin C played exceptionally well as a duo in their win!!! I'm frustrated. I stopped watching when Reese Vs. Caitlin became the focus of the conversation!!! I thot it was going 2b about the game that the Fever won, & the records that Caitlin broke yesterday!!! And yea about oth teams or players. Sadly its a 1 sided rilvry. Only Reese is focus on something that's not exactly there. I've got no clue how to tell pundits to not focus on Reese & the drama she is bringing to the Fever games that ISN'T Basket Ball!!! Caitlin doesn't focus on it at all!!!
She’s getting a lot more than she did last year and prior years. Aja also got a shoe deal from Nike because of the backlash Nike received for giving Clark one. No player benefiting from CC wants to give her credit.
I understand that Angel Reese was trying to block the shot,but I don't recall the part of the head is part of the basketball. It was a flagrant foul, but it was not intentional on Angel's part
You are trying to tell me that a decent shot blocker hit someone forcefully in the head with absolutely no chance in blocking the shot is a basketball play? You are lying to yourself and others.
Reese makes her fouls then want the refs not to call those fouls like she is special, anyone that commits a fouls then the foul will be called period . Fever is just the better team every meeting so far and the Fever is getting better every game !! Let’s Go Fever we love you all !!❤❤❤
I think Angel Reese is extremely smart and she knows how to make remarks to keep her name in the conversation on top of killing it in her rookie season. Caitlin - I think they do resent her, but I don’t think she is being targeted like some people theorize. I think she is guarded hard because of the scouting report indicating that it works to shut down her offense. She gets streaky when the 3s start falling. Love her. She’s going to be amazing as her career develops. I don’t think it’s any deeper than that.
Angel Reese has 2 blocked shots ALL SEASON!! Combine that with the fact her hand was 3’ from the ball and tell me again that was angel Reese making a basketball play lol
There IS no rivalry 😂 one sided, Caitlin has never said a word, Reese has made her whole brand off Caitlin.

Reese, alone, is NO COMPETITION against Caitlin!!! We CAN really love watching Caitlin play, because she can ball!!!!! 🏀 I don't need any other antics!!!!!
They are making it a Kardashian or a drama show. Instead of making it about the players skill set.
The other women in WNBA and the media wans to push a hero and villain story arc.
The Hero is Caitlyn Clark 22 and the Villain are WNBA jealous/petty, USA women's selection committee and the media.
Reese has 2 blocks her whole career ..as a power forward lol
It looked like piss poor play. Reese had no chance of blocking that shot without fouling. That is why she got called. Where was she on D before Clack drove to the hoop against 2 huge players? I hope the league puts a stop to the acrimony.
Give Angel Reese a lie detector test...I think she deliberately took a cheap shot at CC. She missed the ball but hit the head.
Caitlin Clark is an exceptional basketball player and role model. The WNBA should be thankful she is here now. Sad that they are just resentful and quite frankly petty
She's barely on the same level as other rookies!! Please!
@@Parker3Curry30 a haters life is clearly very depressing 😂😂😂
@@uncleb7821, you sound like Angel Reese.😂
@uncleb7821 It isn't hating. Those are facts. Take your emotions out of it. You sound like you have periods dude 😂
@@uncleb7821 Hey, it was my mistake. The comment was for Parker3Curry30
That ball was gone for 4 Mississippi's before that elbow . How are you calling that a basketball play.
If Angel Resse had not previously congratulated a teammate for attempting to take Caitland Clark out during a dead ball, this foul would probably not be up for debate. Angel Resse is either not listening to her advisors or they're giving her bad advice, she's costing herself possible endorsement deals (money) with every passing game and or cry of being victimized and or sexualized that she's bringing upon herself. Not a positive look/vibe.
Exactly!!! Well said. 👍
Meanwhile Carter played very clean, and even helped prevent CC from falling after CC got hooked.
@@a2knyc Couldn't take the smoke from the push back, and realized how ridiculous she looked. Also, she probably has people who are her real friends and they possibly pulled her by the coat tail.
He got it exactly right. The controversy is only part of the story, but it has us talking about it. It has us watching the games too. "there is no bad publicity."
Don't agree. I don't need Reese to enjoy watching Caitlin play, or that somehow Reese makes me want to watch them play. What I was actually happy about was that the Refs made the right call, & they were able 2 get right back to the game!!!
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. This chick is so lost. You know what would be great for women's basketball? For them all to act like adults and conduct themselves with class and drop all the petty, catty nonsense and just play the game. Catlin is the singular reason ticket sales have exploded this year.
I know!!! I stop watching when they cont'd on w/ the Caitlin vs. Reese rilvry. It's insulting to the fans. If Reese was this outstanding player & they were truly equals in their playing, THAN I'd argue that it could be a great rilvry to watch BUT it's NOT!!! Shady McCoy on SPEAK said it well, that he watches Caitlin for how she plays ball!!!! 🏀 Whereas he knew Reese for her antics playing against C.C which started w/ her giving a hand gesture to Caitlin & NOT for balling!!!!
This is one of the best collective group takes I've heard on this one. Love it.
it was a basketball play, but her reaction after the play makes it look like she enjoyed it. No remorse or care if they hurt her.
That’s how Angel Reece “blocks”. She has like 2 career blocks. So how do we know. AR rebounds, not much else so far.
That's what I've noticed the most about her playing, is rebounding to herself!!! Its sad really?! As a rookie w/ spare time she should really practicing instead of focusing on this 1 sided rilvry & social media etc.
CC has 14 blocks 😂
This guy is out of his Flippin mind trying to block a shot. The ball was 2 feet away from any part of Reese’s hand ESPN you should be a shame.
_"underlying animus"_ - no, I don't think so. In my view, however, Reese has always has a huge chip on her shoulder about Caitlin. After examining the slow motion replays, it seems to me that Reese must have known she couldn't reach the ball *before* she began the 'swatting' movement that resulted in making contact with Caitlin's head. In other words, it was deliberate and not a situation in which she swiped at the ball and didn't quite make contact.
Its laughable that they call what's going on between AR and CC a rivalry. That's like saying another average player has a rivalry with LeBron, Ronaldo, Messi, etc. CC is miles ahead of AR in every respect please find CC an actual Rival
She had time to look at the films to see that many calls weren't made right before the post game?
Unbelievable that Reese had time to review the game before the postgame press conference
What is being missed is maybe it’s GOOD for the WNBA but it absolutely is at the expense of Clark.
I'm about 9-mins into this video, & it's the strangest video on CC I think I've seen thus far, & I've seen many of them. I'm seeing nuance, I'm seeing objective truths...just what do these folks think they're doing??
Went for the head. Not a basketball player. Bird and Magic had a rivalry but they respected each other. Reese hates Clark. Period.
My thoughts, exactly. Neither Bird nor Magic pulled crap like this. Their games and skills got all the attention they got, on their own, without petty, stupid drama, like this. Both had mature, respectful, attitudes, and behavior. Clark is the same as them. Reese isn't.
I didn't watch Basketball then, I'm curious I bet however that they could compete against each other!!! Meaning I just don't see Reese on par w/ Caitlin's level of performance AT ALL!!!!
If this is who she is, she needs to be met with some consequences. This is clumsy and reckless. Don't push in the back of people getting up for rebound. Don't hit people just randomly. And don't flag people when they're up in the air. Play hard, don't play thug. This game is basketball, and there are rules to protect the players.
Caitlin gave a master class yesterday !! She is the best Rookie !!
Also not letting her on team USA when she already won 3 gold medals representing USA 🇺🇸 DURING FIFA 2019-2021
And won MVP TOO !! Check that out !!
How can this be rivalry, different level of basketball skills
Exactly!!! Reese is starting imo to really embarrass herself!!! I've got to give Kennedy credit, when another Sky player fouled b/c who WAS actually playing competitively hard against Caitlin, that they got entangled & Caitlin would've been pushed to the floor IF it wzn't for Kennedy putting her arms out SO that Caitlin wouldn't fall!!! Some1 who brought this up on their podcast commented that if it had been Reese she probably would've backed away so that Caitlin would've fallen hard to the floor!!! The oth player wasn't playing badly just hard & competitive!!! There's a difference between being a bully/dirty play & being competitive & playing aggressively.
@@tammyboon6259 different basketball skills and being a good person with class.
#7 AR, post player - rookie stats show TWO blocks.
#1 CC, point guard - rookie stats show FIFTEEN blocks.
There is no rivalry except in media.
Without CC. you wouldn't even have this segment. AR is a non factor.
Theres no rivalry, Reese want to create one to get attention. She claim to embrace the villain role now playing a victim? Shes just an attention seeker, good thing Clark don't bite on her drama. The players hate the idea thst she has a big fan base and majority ssyimg she's the face of ghe league esp come from NBA players and former WNBA players as well.
ITS WAS CREATED BY REDNECK RACISTS WHEN REESE STOMPED CLARK FOR A NATIONAL TITLE!!! THE MEDIA AND THE LEAGUE WANTS THE RIVALRY AS DOES THE BIGOTED CLARK CULT.
How is CC getting calls when she's been getting fouled and wasn't getting calls
"Special whistle"? CC is averaging 4 free throws a game. Where is this "special whistle"?
The only reason I’m still watching is because of players like Caitlin who don’t perpetuate the drama and divisiveness. Great players are joyful to watch. All the negative talk, while it may be great for the media so there’s something dramatic to talk about, sucks the joy out of the game for me. I don’t think I’m alone. Greatness is demonstrated through actions on and off the court. Let any rivalries be about basketball play; the rest is nonsense. There’s a big difference between a “star” who has become a star for their merits and a reality TV star. I’m rooting for Angel to elevate her game (and stop with the nonsense) so she can be a real star. Both she and Caitlin can be stars.
Do people forget that Caitlin Clark is statistically the greatest womens college basketball player of all time? Maybe that's a major reason why she is popular? Just a thought.
That special whistle is now..... for Angel Reese... until she stop being stupid. Them refs heard that shit
Angel had a chance to just say "It was a basketball play, I tried to make the block but made hard contact with Caitlyn. It was unintentional and I didn't have a problem with the upgrade." Caitlyn said, "All i cared about was making the 2 free throws. It was a basketball play and that's all i cared about". Cait didn't say anything about refs, being targeted, getting hard fouls, just kept it classy and was like "It basketball. I just need to keep hoopn"
Yep, Reese made herself sound worse. But I wish these shows could get passed Reese!!! She doesn't & it doesn't warrant this much attention!!! I don't agree that ALL attention is good attention!!! I wished they'd focus on the players & the actual game more!!!
I’m not that hip to Canty fr fr; But he just said what analyst I’ve been watching for years are afraid to say on air…. I’m not taking up for obvious calls Reese just complaining cause they’re making her use more skill then just letting her get away with 💩 in college for having a big name
If these flagrant fouls keep happening people will stop watching the game if the WNBA doesn’t start suspending players that break obvious attempts to injure any player.
Whatever these women have against Caitlyn Clark will eventually translate into respect. She's not cryin about it, she is showing remarkable skills in spite of what they throw at her, game after game. We all see this happening, and we don't understand why the Angel Reeses in the W can't give her props. She will show them all.
I'm so happy she finally give you all the stats that y'all need to talk about her in a sports aspect
Ther no rivalry when it one sided. 😂
She wasn't near the ball.
Adding fuel to a fire is what AR does...it's how she builds her brand.
National Championship game against Iowa, Reese had 15 points and 10 rebounds
Angel Laimbeer at it again 🤣
A block that never touched the ball or even Clark’s arm, but totally smack her head!
before this game she has not been getting the calls they were grabbing her with no whistle
I don't understand why this is called a rivalry. They played four times and Caitlin's up three games to one
Don't make it rivalry. A rivalry involves two people, but this one has only Angel Reezs jumps up and down desporately for some attention.
Exactly!!! Thank you!!!
Angel Reese could say that she hit Caitlin Clark in the head on purpose and these ESPN commentators would say it was a “basketball play.”
That was NOT a basketball play! Just because Canty tries to talk wit a stern voice doesn’t mean he’s right. Reese swung wild like that on purpose. Look at her lips when she swings
She didn't look at film that quick
Are you people nuts only reason I am watching is cc
Canty: Why is she adding fuel to the fire by bringing up Clark?
Everyone else: IT'S BECAUSE SHE'S JEALOUS!!!
It could be a basketball foul, but it is a flagrant foul. I don't understand why she is victimize herself. Smh
Angel acts like that because y’all don’t hold her actions accountable, you constantly call it a rivalry where time and time again one has showed you she wants no part of but for the sake of ratings you the media continue to push it when it’s about racism, jealousy and hatred but y’all want the one being bullied to speak out against them things. Like wake up and understand what’s really going on here, you’re not witnessing a rivalry you’re witnessing someone being bully who’s going to say the right answer no matter what occupation she was in being bullied and it covered up by calling a rivalry and others want in on it because you’ll mask it for them as well.
CC bring her fanbase from college and high school. They’ve been following her for years. That’s not her fault. The public at large does not watch the WNBA are giving it a chance now that CC is there and somebody’s new generation of players.
From I've seen and heard in interviews, the vast majority of players in the W are not jealous of Caitlin. They see the benefits she brings to the game and their careers, and they embrace her being in the league.
Some good interviews with Arike, Satou Sabally, and others do a good job of making it clear that the players don't hate Caitlin Clark. If anything, they hate the noise from unruly fans making it harder for everyone (esp CC). With their unrealistic expectations, crazy conspiracy theories, and sometimes obvious racism, they are creating a hostile environment that would make it hard for any rookie. The players don't blame Caitlin for that.
IMO, a few players with personal vendettas are making it look like something much bigger and more insidious than it is.
I think you make a fair point about a “few” players but I think you’re missing the larger point.
Maybe check out Monica McNutt’s interview with John Stewart. The resenment is also there.
Some of CCs fans are over the top, but not all of them.
Dude, Canty nailed every topic perfectly! Which is rare watching everyone’s take on this but bro Cantys view is SPOT on! Listen to this man!!
Angel Reese = Insecurity
This conversation is boring. Don’t even bother talking about this foul. It’s one foul, it was the right call, and the game went on. What’s even the point here
If the league stays the same way throughout the year. I hope next season she packs up and goes to the Europe league and takes her fans with her. Maybe those girls will appreciate what Caitlin brings to the table.
ARE THE CAMILLA AND ANGEL REESE GETTING THOSE SAME CALLS IN THE BOX. ALOT OF MISSED CALLS BY REFS IN MULTIPLE GAMES I MEAN THE FOULS NEARLY HAVE TO BE KO FOULS.
Chris Canty was great on this
Good morning I was watching your show can you explain to me the difference between Caitlin Clark and Jackie Robinson, 🤔🤔🤔
CC is a generational talent and she’s elevating the WNBA!!!
what rivalry?
There is no rivalry Caitlin is not thinking about them they are jealous of her
Cait the Great is simply better than everyone thats playing the game jealousy is part of it
Aja Wilson dominating the league and gets no recognition😢😢😢
Maybe if she stops ball hogging, causing them to lose and sending out dumb tweets towards CC that has nothing to do with playing basketball she'll get some recognition. Then, after all that aggressive tweeting only to show up after the game crying. Also, you all need to realize you cannot make people like you or invest in you. Fans like who they like and most of those players are only selling themselves to their Culture and lgbqtrs as it seems to me and not the whole world. All that dumb mess Angel says I am who I am well that doesn't sell to the world and kids. Most of CC fans are kids and guess what, that's 3 ticket sales of more when the parents take them. I would say they'll learn but they want as they're too stubborn to change.
Well these shows aren't helping w/ FOCUSING ON Reese!!! I'm actually really surprised they focused on Reese after yesterday's game?! Yes, Reese fouled & the Refs MADE the right call, BUT it's the pundits SO focused on Reese & Reese herself making a lot of noise to get attn that it isn't enjoyable or actually imo the right attn!!! I definitely agree w/ u there. I've noticed that ALL these shows have become the same & are about opinions & NOT really about the games & it's becoming SO annoying as fans of Caitin's, at least some us wud rather the game & players be talked about & not this oth crap!!! The Fever's coach said it best along w/ Caitlin in their post game interviews,
the Ref made the right call & the game was able to go on!!! 4 players on the Fever ALL played well & more together!!! The interview postgame was more abt 2 oth players beside Caitlin, Kelsey Mitchell & Aliyah Boston & the great game they played, along w/ another vet on the team!!! And how Aliyah Boston & Caitlin C played exceptionally well as a duo in their win!!! I'm frustrated. I stopped watching when Reese Vs. Caitlin became the focus of the conversation!!!
I thot it was going 2b about the game that the Fever won, & the records that Caitlin broke yesterday!!! And yea about oth teams or players. Sadly its a 1 sided rilvry. Only Reese is focus on something that's not exactly there. I've got no clue how to tell pundits to not focus on Reese & the drama she is bringing to the Fever games that ISN'T Basket Ball!!! Caitlin doesn't focus on it at all!!!
@@jenkericjI didn't know that she was tweeting about Caitlin etc?!?!
She’s getting a lot more than she did last year and prior years. Aja also got a shoe deal from Nike because of the backlash Nike received for giving Clark one. No player benefiting from CC wants to give her credit.
I watched some of her post game interviews - she is not trying to be very likable.
This is why Caitlin is growing an epic legacy, she thinks big picture and in abundance and thinks long term. That is success.
AR is a great player and she’s her own worst enemy
I understand that Angel Reese was trying to block the shot,but I don't recall the part of the head is part of the basketball. It was a flagrant foul, but it was not intentional on Angel's part
Who is angel reese?
Agreed… CC has handled it so professionally
You are trying to tell me that a decent shot blocker hit someone forcefully in the head with absolutely no chance in blocking the shot is a basketball play? You are lying to yourself and others.
Is Reese a decent shot blocker? I heard she has only 2blocks, total not per game.
Reese makes her fouls then want the refs not to call those fouls like she is special, anyone that commits a fouls then the foul will be called period . Fever is just the better team every meeting so far and the Fever is getting better every game !! Let’s Go Fever we love you all !!❤❤❤
I think Angel Reese is extremely smart and she knows how to make remarks to keep her name in the conversation on top of killing it in her rookie season. Caitlin - I think they do resent her, but I don’t think she is being targeted like some people theorize. I think she is guarded hard because of the scouting report indicating that it works to shut down her offense. She gets streaky when the 3s start falling. Love her. She’s going to be amazing as her career develops. I don’t think it’s any deeper than that.
Caitlin Clark has a huge fan base because she is also winning the hearts of the suburban moms and dads (which no other WNBA player has).
Angel Reese has 2 blocked shots
ALL SEASON!!
Combine that with the fact her hand was 3’ from the ball and tell me again that was angel Reese making a basketball play lol
