The WNBA is about to have some mega stars soon.
They better promote these athletes correctly.
Unfortunately, those women will never make the kind of money NBA SCRUBS make, never mind the superstars.
The old wnba lesbian heads like how things are.
@@davebarton6824There’s an off-set! Caitlyn Clark is already making big money (even as a college player) with endorsements. And she’s not the only one. Even if there’s no tv audience or arena audience now, wnba will be sold through individual player endorsements for their sponsors. Everybody wins. NIL is changing the landscape for athletes.
@@davebarton6824they already making more money than the so called “nba scrubs” and they didn’t even hit the league trust me they will be fine, things are about to change and it’s time to get used to it.
@shivi9799 not a single thing is about to change. YYoure just another prisoner of the moment. The WNBA will continue taking a financial loss every year as it always has.
Love Shaq! A truly giving person.
Shaq! You and me both, didn't want the women's season to end!!😱💚🍀
I have a lot of respect for Shaq. He's a good man. Period.
2 years ago, I saw Clark play. Then I saw Angel, Aaliyah Boston, then Paige. I told a male friend about Clark and Angel possibly being the next Magic /Bird to take the WNBA to the next level. Dude laughed at me. During the women's final 4 this dude ordered a Clark 22 jersey. If you're a sports fan you love great competition. These young women have proven they have the skills to attract basketball fans of every demographic. Salute ladies.
I would LOVE to see a version of the Bird/Magic dynamic with Angel and Caitlin. The WNBA needs this kind of “friendly rivalry”. They do respect each other in real life so it would seem like a no-brainer to me.
Caitlin Clark has really changed my outlook on women's basketball. Until recently, it has been boring and about as exciting as watching high school skill level games. Clark is all around athletic player, she's got great moves and shot moves.
Kudos to Shaq and Charles for their support for the women's game! 👏
Shaq & Barkley know how to give the viewing audience what they want. they want good insights but they also want to have FUN. That is what makes them so Good, IMO
Caitlin is a great player, and most specially, no DRAMA. She takes her win and losses with humility.
Great for her. But people tuned in for the drama.... THEN ... they noticed Caitlyn
@@damita4336 Yes, because the Clark/Reese thing was the very first drama ever in women's basketball. Great analysis. 😂 There's been beefs in women's ncaa and WNBA every year. Clark is the reason they tuned in this time around. Iowa sold out (almost) every game this season, and Angel Reese and that "drama" was only involved in one of those games. You are just using passive aggression to throw shade on Clark. Is there a reason you are upset at seeing a surge in popularity of women's basketball?
@@chrisfuller2069 The records show that Angel put the light on the game. I never paid women's college ball any mind. Neither did a lot of others. Angel is a millionaire thanks to helping B Ball grow. I'm excited for the game. A plus is seeing the young pretty people. I'm 70 yrs of age
@@damita4336 "The records show that Angel put the light on the game."
I have no idea what that means, but I didn't come here to cast shade on your favorite player. I wish Angel Reese the best with her new career in Chicago.
No, she didn't because she lost her cool on the court more than once in the tournament. Even in the final.
Shaq and Charles are both such good guys it brings me to tears. So genuine.
Caitlin Clark set Every college basketball record, men or women. Caitlin Clark scores routinely from distances that others cannot. Caitlin Clark ,and her teammates, were playing for a NATIONAL championship, against long time powerhouse programs like South Carolina, LSU, U Conn. All the others are playing for powerhouse programs, surrounded by highly recruited players.
Are you kidding me? Did you not watch the tournament? When Caitlin was faced with great 6 wasn't always hitting anything. Mika Suhl of UConn shut her down for 2 quarters. She scored absolutely no points. Until Suhl got into foul trouble. The game against WVU was the lowest scoring game of Iowa's entire season. She looked good because she played in a trash conference.
@@AnniceMichelle Numbers don't lie, she broke the records in division 1.
Our this comments negative because she's white,I believe so.@@AnniceMichelle
It'll ne hard to forget Angel Reese cheering Carter's dirty hit on Caitlyn Clark.
You gotta just absolutely love The Shac
I’m watching from Jamaican and I too followed women’s college basketball more than the men’s game in 2024. I share Shaq’s sentiments it started with Reese vs Clark in 2023.
At last Gayle lets the guest talk without interrupting, good thing!
I love the relationship charles and Shaq have. They are like brothers and the moms are like sisters
Catlin and JuJu are generational. I will say it since nobody else will. Catlin, being white and dominating like a beast, has created envy and admiration across many lines. There goes viewership. JuJu is special.
That's a fact. Basketball is the one sport that at a micro level, gives the vibe that black people have a superiority complex at it, and will not easily accept a white person being a superior baller, even if the evidence is glaring, whether it's Jokic, Doncic, CC or in the past, Bird who could only ever be termed the "best white player". It's the opposite almost everywhere else of course
Shaq and Charles.....so great together, love the banter and stories !!!
I started enjoying women ball last season, the championship game. Then I started watching Angel Reese on TH-cam a little, I found her entertaining. Then I would look at Caitlin more. So it was social media that played a big part in keeping my interest in women balling.
I agree, 100%
God knew what he was doing could you imagine Charles Barkley with a championship that dudes mouth would be so crazy lmao
🤣😂🤣
Thank John Paxson!
Caitlin clark is the one
Is the one that’s going to get exposed in the wnba 😂
@@BM-fi1oi Another jealous one?😂
You need a tissue?@@BM-fi1oi
@@CanaPhilhow many national championships did she win😂😂😂???
@@taipan1234wow!!! So since when did we start keeping track of what college girls basketball player has the most championships???😂
What's NOT being said...
1) Caitlin Clark set a new WNBA record for the fastest player ever to reach 200 points, 75 rebounds, and 75 assists
2) Her 25million Nike deal is the REAL reason they are hating...cause even 15 year veterans in WNBA need to get jobs in the off-season
its ALL about the money 💰💰💰 Caitlin got it, Angel DIDN'T, or anyone else either 💰💰💰
OMGoodness...great show folks...wisdom in practice...a mother's love spreads through generations...women are POWERFUL and WONDERFUL.
Shaq is the man! I love Sir Charles also! Giving them their flowers!!!🎉
Shaq keep up Angel Reese's game
Met Charles at an Atlanta Dream game years ago. THE nicest and warmest man!!!
really enjoyed this interview it was great.
“Google me chuck.” 😂😂😂
Carter amazing player Worth every penny
Caitlyn Clark #1
When you receive praise from Shaq, that's saying something.
I'm happy to hear Shaq talk highly of women.
I love both of these guys. Such class!!!
😂 Absolutely love their broship😅 Such a Blessing to have someone as s friend, you can laugh at and with.❤
Saw a clip of Clark her freshman year and was amazed. I had never seen a player with the skill and range. Watched the games on the internet until media coverage improved. The range is captivating and the Iowa system of play is exciting to watch. The women's game is changing just like the men's game changed with a small guard from Davidson and KD. I was so amazed by Clark's play. I became a women's basketball fan watching USC, LSU, and South Carolina every week. USC didn't get as much love though on the East Coast. I've tried watching WNBA games and it just didn't do it for me. I hoping that I can continue to support the growth of the league and also be entertained. Watching the draft for the first time. Buying tickets to the Dream vs Fever game. Hoping that the WBNA capitalizes on this attention to improve viewership that will solve the sponsor and pay issues. Please embrace your young stars because it definitely terrible hearing all the hate coming from the WNBA players against the new class. Clark is what they needed Clark is what they want.
Shaq and Charles have made basketball comentary more fun to watch than the aqtual game........really going to miss Charles Barkley (says he is retiring after this year)
It’s the competitiveness of the level a play. They allowed them to play with fight and attitude. Trash talking is part of every sport. That them play with no handcuffs.
Shag knows what it feels like to be the underdog, yet Shag is the greatest. When Jesus came in this world, he came as the underdog he was not accepted. Shaq shows a lot of love to all those basketball players. "Criticisms should come with compassion." 💖
Awesome interview. Love those guys and Ms. King.
More on Cheryl Miller.
"Still the most highly recruited male or female player ever, Miller chose the University of Southern California. There she became a four-time All-American and led the Trojans to a 112-20 record and to the NCAA title in 1983 and 1984. The back-to-back titles were an NCAA first, and she was tournament MVP both years. She won the Naismith Trophy and the Broderick Award as the nation’s best woman basketball player three times, shared the 1984 Honda Broderick Cup as the outstanding college athlete in any sport and was the Wade Trophy winner in 1985. With 3,018 points-at a time when there was no three-point line-and 1,534 rebounds scored over 128 games, she ranks 14th among the NCAA’s all-time leading scorers and still holds USC records for points, rebounds, field goals, free throws, steals and games played. In 1986, she became the first player whose jersey was retired by the university.
In the international arena, Miller led the U.S. women’s basketball team to a gold medal in the 1983 Pan American Games and to another gold in the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. In 1986, she added a gold medal at the Goodwill Games in Moscow as the U.S. team broke the Soviet Union’s 152-game winning streak."

I love how we can put her into context from the story from her HOF brother. Reggie bragged about scoring 40 (or 50?) and his dad just grinned and told him Cheryl had scored 105 that same day. I wish the WNBA had existed 10 years earlier so she could have been the dominant force and face of the league. I'll ignore the "her competition was terrible" comments because she destroyed the best competition she could possibly face.
I watched for South Carolina and Tehina and Alissa Pili 🤙🏾❤️
Should have talked about South Carolina more. They actually won the National Championship.
They did Different episode. While there is a lot Of Caitlin talk they are also telling the champs
I love Shaq and Charles… I never knew their moms are best friends. Makes me love them more.
At 34 i finally almost have a beard like Shaquille O'Neal 👍.😊
Why did Charles cut Shaq off with his opening comment? Wanted to hear MJ's advice to him
Exactly! What was Shaq gonna say?
Before you succeed you must first learn how to fail
@@ThomasWayne4312 thank you!
Thats why I love inside the NBA. These two, Chuck the Shaq are my longtime favorites..😅😂😅🎉😅
These two guys are true leaders, by Example. World needs men like these two.
I love Shaq and Charles. You guys are awesome. Because of Shaq I became a women who became a lover of basketball. I respect you and Charles. Love you guys. Thank you 🩷
I actually enjoy the two of them together Gyle and Chuck. They look good together.
Shaq was unstoppable
Damn shaq goin to make me cry its all about Mom I love it.
So excited for the WNBA season!! ❤
Shaq nailed it.
Her passes are even more spectacular and mind boggling than her 3 pointers.
I wish Kobe was still alive. His praise would be the truest and most sincere. he loved women's hoops long before anyone gave it attention. Now we have a female equivalent of Kobe and Jordan. She already is the GOAT, and she is still just a rookie.
There is a sweet spot in refing. It's called follow the rule book. If you allow excessive physical contact, offense players have to create more space to get a shot off. Or, you have the NBA, where offensive players are allowed to charge all the time.
The WNBA is not fun too watch. Too much contact, not enough artistry, because they get hammered when they do anything artistic. Clark is fun to watch, because she is an incredible shooter, and passer. That is diminished when excessive contact is allowed. There are a lot of excellent players who would be better served by calling the game close to the actual rules, not WNBA, or NBA...
Great advice Shaq
This is the only program I like on CNN.
Nobody knew any players names in the WNBA until the rise of Clark.
How do I get in touch with SHAQ on his Website social media?
Women college basketball has been great for years. A lot of people don’t realize that. It’s the most entertaining basketball there is as a whole.
Shaq ❤
South Carolina won the championship and didnt loose won game. Here again Caitlyn name comes up, never have I heard of the loosing team talked about.
The Nuggets won the championship and no one cared about them. Here again LeBron name comes up.
Not the team but a player is being talked about because of their talent.
@@TheODLawson23 so, she is a Lebron?!? 🤣🙄She can play ,but she isn't the all time best woman college player🤣Lebron has taken 3 different NBA teams to the championship Caitlyn 0-2 in college. Hasn't played in the WNBA . Stretching much?
@@Mrk3lly South Carolina team won 38-0. She lost with her team.
@@bosslady800 It doesn't matter, people don't care about winning or losing. All ESPN, CNN, ABC, NBC and medias care is about Caitlin because of the ratings. EPSN did not post the South Carolina Gamecocks parade video on TH-cam, Facebook and Instagram yesterday. Nobody cares about South Carolina. The Magic and Bird rivalry was the ratings, the MJ effect was the ratings, LeBron is the ratings and Stephen Curry is the ratings. Even the champions game if the Iowa Hawkeyes and Caitlin won in the finals, the viewership would have been that great, all the medias would continue to post more of her and more ratings. Nothing to do with respect, it is all what brings eyes and ratings.
What a great example of men and their work ethic. I have to believe that their true talent came from hard work. Appreciate their true genuine love for family and friendship. I’m a new fan to Women’s basketball. Never had any interest until following the women’s college championship and the talent and passion these young gals play with. This is entertainment sports at its best. Now liking all the hate, it looks like these young gals bring a lot to their new level of play and it’s making everyone adjust.
What a great interview!
Wow, I was blessed to watch three amazing human beads. Have a conversation. Thank you beautiful people. Love you three God bless you and thank you The world needs more people like Y’all 🤠🙏
I agree 100% with the diesel all day everyday ❤ love these women in they have came a long way to finally be recognized as a sports figure a cross the sporting world in Media
I love you guys.
That’s love. Remember why you are. And bless
Shaq is the best basketball player ever and he is the best human being ever.
"You clearly love and admire each other"
"No I almost killed him though.."
Caitlin Clark, that's a no brainer!
Teams win championships, not individual players. Jordan won an NCAA title… with Big Game James Worthy, Sam Perkins, Buzz Peterson and Jimmy Black. That’s the kind of talent LSU, UConn and SC have. Our gal Clark had teammates those other teams had no interest in recruiting. Jordan was the best player in the NBA for many years before winning once his had talented teammates. Clark will do the same.
Shaq is freaking hilarious!
i got to go to the sweet 16 in Portland it was so good
Trust me this whole caitlin clark craze will be short lived. Let's check back in a couple of years.
I hope not
If Caitlin brings more attendance numbers, more interest in WNBA it will eventually bring in more revenue for the WNBA. Which means WNBA players income will increase.
My grand brother was lue holtz
#CC22💪🏼EXCITING!
Troy was dunk at 14
I love me some Shaq!
2024 is really surprising me now that AWM89V hit the road. After all these years of barely reading anything good I was usually just shutting down any type of media influence as much as I can but this brings back good lights and it should give hope to some of you that no matter what is going on in the world at the end something good comes to surface
If curry played like Clark, he would actually be a great player. Just cause he can shoot 3s like her doesn't mean he's as good as her.
GO GAMECOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the same Shaq that has talked down wnba forever.
Before Caitlin
Hey Chuck how many NBA rings you got
As a Round Mound of Rebound Fan... Damn that Shack is big... glad you're still alive Charles 😀.
My all time basketball line up : 1. Center : Shaquille O'Neal,2. Point Guard : Stephen Curry 3. Shooting Guard : Late Kobe Bryant ,4 . Small Forward: Michael Jordan ,5 . Power Forward : Lebron James . It's easy as 🥧
You forget Tim Duncan
@@HH-jg4ju these are my top 5 all time . He may be in my all time squad 👍
I think Shaq had the same line up for his all time starting 5
What happened? What nobody wants to recognize? It's the new Magic & Bird!
Shaw is a GOAT with a beautiful mind 😅
The commentator cannot tolerate any praise of Caitlyn- let's change the subject to Angel Reese-
Any good 6 ft 7 inch Player and good Substitution would have done better..
It's time to get rid of old WNBA players like Diana Taurasi, Brittany Griner. Bring more new young talented players. Older WNBA players can't stand to see the younger girls get more shine than them.
Caitlin pictures cnn had of her is sad! Every other player have them in good pictures. Caitlin getting blocked or when she fell! That's sad!
They’re always being petty
Salute Ladies ❤
DT and BS learn from Shaq, be inclusive, grateful and humble. Your aluminum and teammates SB, RL and Moore have a bigger heart and you do.
I'll give Angel some advice, stop your hating.
Wow.
The women in the ‘W’ should learn how to be frienemies like Shaq and Chuck before they injure Caitlin in order to keep the money flowing.
And my son boxer ryan Garcia
