I've been saying this for the last 2 years and people have been laughing. I think Clark and Reese are this generations Magic and Bird not saying they're skills wise better. No just the energy their rivalry brought basketball and help grow the league.
I honestly don't get the Bird vs Magic analogy because you're comparing a basic rebounder to Magic Johnson....HAHAHA I at least get the Clark and Bird comparison.
@@burllawson4185Rodman vs Bird? 😂
There is no rivalry. Angel is beefing for clout to leech on CC skill set. CC doesn’t respond to her nonsense. Plus Reese isn’t in the ballpark of anything close to Magic or Bird.
Asia Wilson IS UN-FRICKING -MARKETABLE...... PERIOD
How?!
@@SageVibes444 what’s exciting about a big, playing under the basket that can’t dunk?
@@SageVibes444 oneal, anthony.. no one will buy it.
Moat the women in the league are. These are some of the most bitter and unlikeable personalities.
"incentivize without the return"
Good luck with that LOL
Every business decision is made with the hopes of a return - Nike does not run a damn charity. WTF is Joe talking bout
it was 28 million not ten
Facts baller
okay the men court side comment killed me lmaoooo. great video!
where are they getting these characters on the set? the black batman was hard
WNBA is a charity. Since it's inception, they have never been profitable. If I'm Nike, why would I invest in a failing business entity not knowing I'm I'm going to get my kickback? Nah, with Clark it don't matter if the league fails after her or not, SHE is a winner at life through her transcendence in the sport
Can’t be charity if people are working for the money also Clark isn’t a fair winner
@downbad2874 they lose 12 million a year. That's considered a charity from the NBA. What would be the incentive to keep the WNBA going when it's NEVER made money? It's a charity
The Great White Hope arrived
Never underestimate the ability of dumb people to bring up race every chance they get. Only fools think about race on a daily or weekly basis
Basically
Fareal😂
W
at least this time the great white hope is good😂
Angel Reese.
Who lol
The one who threatened UCLA coach then played victim?
Is worse
Wheee ya at
Lol angel reese is a good role player, cc is a star player. Cc is closer to goat level talent, than she is reeses. Reese is closer to throat goat talent, than she is rookie of the year...
but seriously reese is great rebounder, her defense is decent(not great, not trash). She's a solid if not great role player. She's wnba Dennis rodman without the dpoy. Cc is wnba steph curry with better passing and defense. This comparison is a joke and only hurts reese in the long run.
Women having they dudes and/or ladies sitting courtside would lowkey be GREAT media material. LBVVVS
Only reason the Women’s NCAA got so much viewership is because of the racial culture war associated with Caitlin and Angel (even though these two women had nothing to do with pushing the culture war)
Now let’s see what happens with the ratings going forward. I predict WNBA viewers won’t increase and Women’s NCAA will go back to normal
I hope I’m wrong but I’m pretty jaded about society
And people will still complain anyway. If it's not this, it's that and blah blah blah. Go buy some tickets and buy some merch, or tune in to games. Broke people love to complain about rich people problems.
Angel Reese needs a shoe deal too
She has one with Reebok
Plenty of all the WNBA player Hayden on this new generation of players and Kaitlyn Clark we have you been the older WNBA players are toxic that’s why the Game haven’t grown all these years
I gotta be honest. Im very much out the loop with all these women college basketball stars coming up that everybody is raving about. Idk what they are doing so special to make everybody so excited about women's basketball...but if it brings new eyes to the sport, then im very much here for it.
To be honest, I actually attribute all of this to the Sha’carri Richardson situation that took place around the times of the Olympics. Ever since then more and more people started paying attention to female sports as a whole. It’s been a crazy last 3 yrs for females sports, and that young lady was the one that broke the mold and a had to take hell for it. Because you are right no one really gave a damn about women basketball especially the collage basketball.
Also I wouldn’t even know who this lil white chick was if it wasn’t for her going viral for potentially being a racist. So I find this ironic that she’s now getting all of this praise. It seems weird to me, but I have no dog in the fight because I don’t really know who any of these people are.
Lmao the cope is crazy.
When in doubt blame it on race
Says the "Chinese" Godfather.
@@Yawdan Its a joke from a Tv show, dont be offended.
Lil ahh victim lmao
@@TheChineseGodFather says the person that can't handle a response to the comment.
You wanna talk about victims when your community had rap songs taken down of Spotify because y'all were victims of our people 😂
Yeah Clark literally broke all the records and they act like she was just another white player lol wild
@@mroctober3583 go research who Pearl Moore is before you talk about race and breaking records
Angel Reese was a part of this too. I wasn’t looking for Iowa games but I was looking for LSU.
We are the majority viewership
You were checking for Angel Reese but the majority was checking for Caitlyn. The viewerships in comparison of the two teams is not even close.
She’s worse tho
Wrong. So wrong. You couldnt be more wrong. Ratings dont lie, attendance dont lie, and youre lying to yourself trying to pigeonhole a clearly inferior and way wayyyyyyyy less popular player in to a conversation that she does not belong in
No she wasn't stop forcing that narrative
You guys are so delicate so your white fans won't get mad at you
This!
what’s to get mad about? whites are 60% of america. makes sense to me.
yk joe gotta play the politics
White or black……it’s about CHARACTER!!
The guy basically said Nike should invest in a up and coming female basketball player even if they are a bad investment just cuz of the color of their skin. That sound right to you?
The WNBA needs players and the Media to hate on Caitlin Clark. Nobody wants to just watch this chick hoop without the additional storylines. The same goes for Lebron, Kobe, and Jordan. Folks respected Jordan's game, but when he came to town, teams got ready to make Jordan work for it. Jordan rose to the occasion! Caitlin doesn't it'll be a short run.
10 mill nike deal is goated !
2:38 facts Joe
I didn’t hear one peep about CC until the tournament when she was scoring 30+ points and shooting deep 3s. It was “Come watch the chick scoring line Steph Curry” in college hoops. Not, look at this white basketball player. She just happens to be white and it’s more rare. Just like black folks were proud to see a black man crushing it at golf and suddenly there were more golf fans.
Morning Brew reported on the brand offers for Caitlyn Clark, ultimately Nike won the deal:
• Nike: 8-years/$28 million
• Adidas: 4-years/$6 million
• Under Armour: 4-years/$16 million
• Puma: *dropped out after hearing $3 million*
Caitlyn Clark has a huge following. She is already a millionaire due to her NIL deals. She is going to be the first WNBA player that is coming to the league with millions of fans already.
5:50 naw he said they gonna bring the Homies court side… can’t wait to see Drake sitting there waiting for a rookie in the league
Do black people have a negative view on Michael Jordan because he had a large white fanbase therefore he was marketing himself as a symbol and not being authentically black?
Yes,he married Becky.
What ever happened to just being the best
Capitalism. Im saying who is or isn’t the best in the W, but capitalism is what happened to meritocracy.
Micheal jordan signed to nike
Does Caitlyn deserve a shoe deal yes..... But Nike is big enough to push and promote for the best WNBA players to get signature shoe deals as well. They have enough marketing and pull within the sports world for it to be profitable. Sue Bird, Candace Parker, Diana Taurasi and even Aja Wison not getting a shoe deal is crazy
Support? Nike in business to make money with that said CC benefits from social media era.
Those other legends did not
Nike knows who will sell shoes for them better than you do = even you know that
@@fairgamewithtjorum Nike plasters there logo on everything its crazy you think Nike would not have made money off a WNBA player having a signature shoe
Great players but they don’t put ass in seats. Clark has a whole economy around her. It’s a no brainer. Pretty sure Iowa City over the last 3 seasons had a 80 million dollar increase in their economy
@@joejoiner8582 I mean before CC the W lose money year after year because people barely watch. So no Nike wouldn’t had made money despite how well Sue Bird or whoever played!
Like you’re telling me women would had bought a Candice Parker shoe or some merch?!
We gotta be real with this conversation or don’t have it at all. CC is thee money everyone needs to ride with her, and STOP debating over dumb crap because she’s YT
The fact these guys even talk about WNBA shows her impact already. Caitlin have 4 times the social media following than the MVP of the league (who is also white) so it's more than just race. No doubt she will increase viewership when she comes to the league and will benefit everyone.
People just won’t admit she’s exciting to watch, unlike a majority of womens basketball players. Nobody cares for a dominant big who can’t dunk
It’s purely race also they are only taking about her because her fight with Reese and her money for the WNBA not her skills 😂 please stfu
@@Sh5dy3000she isn’t 😂
Sabrina gotta shoe like two yrs ago ..they don't have ANY CONTEXT to this convo
Attitude and character have a lot to do with getting deals. If your entitled and hard to deal with no company is going to put a bunch of money into u
There making an example out of her. It sucks but it is what it is. 1.) The media tried to hype her up as the savior of the WNBA. 2.) Angel aside this year’s WNBA Draft was packed with talented, decorated, and skilled stars. One of if not the best draft pools for the WNBA in recent years. 3.) She blew up on a NATIONAL level thanks in part to her rivalry with Angel. 4.) When the discussion of Caitlin comes up undertones of favoritism/race come up. For example, white catering media outlets have put her on a pedestal as a messiah. From what’s happening in the league it seems as though the women are pushing back against the narrative by proving that their savior can bleed just like any of the other talented women on the court.
Caitlin is the savior clearly, the media just followed the public interest
Aja Wilson has had a Nike deal for years. No shoe tho and not as much as CC
The reality is America is just more comfortable seeing white faces on things. It's not really about skill in these cases.
We already they outclassed in every sport by everyone else, they’re been in denial for years😂
60% of america is white. from a monetary stance, why would they cater to other races first?
@@unyieldingrage1389they been in denial for a long time!!
Well no shit, 60 percent of the country is white
True. It's not about being the all time scorer. Eat less fried foods boss
Angel Reese is the one that made this shit mainstream. I don't watch Mens NBA Basketball let alone College Ball let alone Womens College Ball and I only know who Caitlin Clark is because Angel Reese pointed at her.
Caitlin Clark might very well be the best player out there but she not the one that made this shit famous. Angel Reese did that.
huh clark broke ever collage record by male or female lol lay off the glue
She wasn’t nice enough I don’t wana hear it that girl nice
@@thegoatudontknow That's amazing for her. How many people were watching before Angel Reese pointed at her?
This is flat out just wrong. Just because angel put yours eyes on doesn’t mean she’s the reason. CC was killing it long before LSU started the rivalry. I love angel and the aggression she brings, but she’s not the reason.
FACTS
To be incentivize without the return sometimes (2024, Budden)
Coming from Joe, that's interesting.
The basketball goal is 10ft which was based off men attributes. The wnba ball is smaller than the NBA ball but the goal is still 10ft. That’s like dudes playing on 11ft goals. Women and their fight for rights are impacting their vision regarding the goal height! If it was lower WNBA watch time would be up at least 30%. Catilyn was still shooting dam bricks and air balls out there. I’m tired of seeing women blow layups becuase the goal is too high for them.
Till caitlyn no one watched college ball give that girl her props and keep race out of it
Caitlin’s Adam’s apple is twice the size of any other wnba player
You just mad her bank account is a million times bigger than yours 😂😂😂😂
It butt hurts alot of people
Everyone is mistaken the people pick who they want to watch not the media. The people watch someone and then the media comes it's not the other way around
7 out the 10 WNBA shoe deals IN HISTORY are black players but sense it aint 10 out of 10....
Well it must be racism 😂🤡
Really Angel Reese and south Carolina was the reason a lot of ppl started watching I never hear about Kaitlyn to playoffs
You can say that but truth is when Caitlyn plays the viewerships are the most
False, the whole reason the Angel shit went down was because Caitlin was famous and doing numbers
idc what anybody says, shawty is NICEEEE‼️
Lol the leage been growing and selling out games since 2021. And this not the first time they had to move a game to a bigger stadium because of demand. Caitlyn definitely bringing her fandom and game at the right time!
Selling out?! I doubt it. If they was selling out like that this money stuff wouldn’t be an issue
The Aces definitely have
Teams have sold out, but at most, once a team had to change arenas.
takes like this is why i dont watch no more they are to safe
Great White Hope
Liberty we're just in the finals bruh
these comments smh...yall love 2 argue & every single person swear they are right...people are so annoying 🙄
🎯🎯🎯
Joe acting like black people in basketball don't get marketed
woman dont wanna watch woman hoop😭
WNBA already needs to get financial help from the NBA, and now yall want Nike to make bad financial moves?? haha Nike will make another commercial featuring a couple black girls and keep it moving.
The conversation about Nike sounds personal not business. Caitlin was good business 💯 and God knows the wnba needs some good business 🤷♂️ because they don't even have the support of the women 😞 4:06
Ppl wasn’t watching for her. The media hyped up the white girl. When ppl were watching for history with Coach Staley and her unbeaten team. We also watched to see if LSU wld defend there title against SC.
It all worked together. She was a huge reason. A White woman playing Steph Curry style and shooting from all over the floor had people watching .
Speak for yourself when you say "people wasnt watching for her." the amount of people I know or came across randomly that have never watched basketball until Caitlin Clark... its alot more than you expect.
on top of that, do some research. She blew up her sophmore year against Michigan, and her junior year elite eight game BEFORE SC AND LSU broke viewership numbers her junior year.
Now where y’all watching here alllllll the way through or just primetime games or just tournament? 🤨 since im speaking for myself. …. No one was looking for her all season long. Yes she had some big games. But up until til the tournament last yr again Louisville yall was t checking for her game in and game out. Stop it. The rivalry that the media painted against Caitlyn and Angela was when ppl really tuned in. She is 1 hell of a shooter. SC and LSU was a more polarizing story
@@killzzzz_ and why u do think think? Was it not only because of her outstanding shooting but viewership was up because of LSU and SC. What SC was doing and the statue of their coach. Same thing with LSU and their coach along with Angela Reese.. u or those ppl wasn’t watching cat came in and came out even this past year so stop it
2:59 Joe thats was a dumb take. They are a business and will always want some type of return.
Why are they ignoring Reese her and Clark are like Bird and Magic and Juju is like MJ right behind them
We knew already knew about Sabrina because of kobe
She can hoop
Plenty of great women before her better than her but no one wants to say it because it’ll make race true
Jokic the best player in NBA and doesnt have shoe line. I mean last years mvp vote proved nba is racist
Name one with a more decorated college career, just one...
Caitlin is the wnba 👏👏👏 5:58
Is she good? I don’t watch. Does she have the skills to back up the hype ?
2 different Positions they both dominate in their own position. Joe sound foolish I wish the media would stop it
Ice for the win!
No joe business doesn't work that way
Tbh Maya Moore opened the door so Angel Reese and Caitlyn Clark could walk through that mf
This is the All Time NCAA scorer it has nothings to do with race SMH 🤔🤔
Joe speaking facts… 💯
What yall sounds crazy joe out here giving free money away this is business
Its so average making the racial argument. Shes hard working and has me watching. Its like players complaining about Jordan.
So sad cause she won’t be able to uphold these fake accolades🗣️
That's the conversation I wanna hear. She might be a top player in college basketball but does that crossover to the WNBA ?!... The women who don't get any recognition what if they start dominating her ?!
This comment looks hilarious now, you were saying?
Why everybody acting so damn blind. We all know why she got the coverage she did
Why do you think? I have my thoughts 💭
She got coverage because she was good, only reason Angel Reese is even a thing is because black twitter made her a victim
@@TriggaTreDayJust watch her game, human highlight reel
I love it when tha meritocracy delusions fades, people start soft-shoeing (making excuses) talking about ‘trickle-down’ affects 😂 when overt racism rears its head
I thought Nike backs champions..?
Who ever think that girl Reese made anything mainstream is delusional lol Clark broke the scoring record men & female she is the only reason
Cap. She didn't- that's just how you YT people lie for your great hopes.
@@Yawdan she didn’t break the record so NCAA is lying lol 😂
@@alvaro209209 Google Pearl Moore.
@@alvaro209209 wiki Pearl Moore.
Pearl Moore.
I wish they would’ve gave Eminem these kinda props and welcome mat.
this how hip hop treats slim shady he great but not number 1 and he not one of us , catltain clark is getting the same treatment but black cant be racist , yes they can .looking at how there talking about wnba , with aja wilson having a shoe ,that wnba fault
She brings the fans and eyes so that’s why companies are paying for Clark. Lebron and Jordan are billionaires because people liked them. No one likes these angry lesbians
