There are other players that are just better than her, but it’s only her first year so I don’t know you expect. But I wouldn’t be surprised if she wins the MVP by her third year in the WNBA.

@@lordwinanimeach party has made a concious decision to make this a race play except caitlin clark…she is the “goliath” and main star in this case so everyone else formulates a plan to ride her coattails. Angel Reese knew early to force her name alongside CC. The media has def fueled this too but their hands were tied. This is a yt girl dominating a black league where angel reese is always a victim, so, anything the media said would he seen as race based. Not their fault.
Jordan got into the NBA in '84 and didn't win his first championship until '91. So to say that Caitlin's overrated because she didn't win a championship in her first year is ludicrous.
as much of a prospect as wemby is, the spurs didnt even make it to the playoffs, i dont know why people are saying shes overhyped after she got swept in the playoffs in her very first season in the league.
I didn’t expect her to win a championship, but i didn’t expect her to shatter the wnba record for most turnovers in a season halfway through her first season either.
Remember, Chicago retooled its entire team around Jordan, and he had no success until Larry hurt his back, Magic got Aides and quit and the Pistons got old.
I’m in Europe. Caitlin Clark is the sole reason I know *_any_* name in or around the WNBA!?! Caitlin Clark is the sole reason any WNBA content appears on my TH-cam in the first place. Caitlin Clark is the real MVP. The Most Valuable Player Of All Time to the WNBA.
Exactly! I did not see any wnba games for the last 20+ years, after I was disapointed during the first couple of years. Now I can't get enough of the Fever games.
@@Intr0vertical she is not the best yet for sure but when you hear those obnoxious irritating wnba players talking about her you just got to support her
Caitlin Clark has had such an impact, that my mom (who gives me, my dad, and my brother shit for wanting to spend all day watching football) wants to plan a trip to Indianapolis with her sisters to go watch Caitlin Clark play. My mom, who could not be bothered to attend any sporting event because spending money on that sort of thing does not interest her, is willing to travel from Minnesota, get a hotel, and pay a premium price for basketball tickets because Caitlin Clark is that important of a figure.
crazy how a couple years ago i remember watching a vid where jxmy said the wnba needed a “golden goose” type player to bring the league commercial success. prophecy came tru lmao
I don't think they hype will stick around long term though. Outside of Clark there is nothing to keep people watching, the level of play is just too low. High school basketball is more exciting

In a TH-cam dominated by junk AI generated and narrated videos about CC, it's so refreshing to have a video so well made by you sir. Always a pleasure to watch, much like CC.
real, the amount of hate CC is getting both from WNBA players and from fans is crazy. Especially WNBA players because she's literally putting food on their plate with just her presence.
Millennial women ruined a future intuition created by girl bosses from older generations lead by one of the most unlikable Americans in history and are attacking a gen Z girl boss whose bringing it back that doesn't sound right they aren't known for that.
The ones who squandered this was the conservative media. They were trying to get her to fulfill their racial fantasies and I'm glad she let them know she's not for it.

@@BSmoothe805a gentle reminder that Luka Doncic, Victor Wembanyama, and LeBron James led the NBA in turnovers last season. If you shoulder 45% of your team's production, per this video you just watched, and ARE A ROOKIE, you're going to have a TON of turnovers
I’m a grown ass man and I’m crying at the delight of seeing the accomplishments of this girl. I mean, it’s astounding to see someone who’s been able to do what she’s done. Just inspiring. I hope my kids make this kind of impact on life.
Just as impressive as her game is her ability to block out all the noise, never say a bad word about anyone, and never stoop to the sad level of all the jealous babies who play in the wnba.
@@Intr0vertical what did you expect, seriously? That you can slander the most popular athlete in the league with no consequences? Are you in 3rd grade?
Angel sucks and managed a double double, and that never before seen run. I watch her game and just cringe and how bad she looks. She's definitely beautiful and will achieve great heights if she's able to pair some game with her look. She just needs to improve her shooting and touch around the hoop and it can be a great rivalry, which would be great for the league... CC still has room to improve and if she becomes deadlier from range it will be a lot more fun. Just seems like too much time off between seasons...
The same thing happened in my country, Australia, with the women's soccer team. Sam Kerr was the Golden Girl. All of a sudden, the entire nation was watching. The difference being that all the other women players were supporting and cheering for her publicly. More people at the games, meant more money for the players. They were not trying to take her down because she was better than everyone else.
Dude, same thing is happening in SL as well. In cricket we got a we female captain that brought the league to the mainstream. No one is hating on her though
Thank you for this excellent video. Like many I knew nothing about the WNBA until I stumbled across a few youtube videos with highlights of Caitlin Clark plays. Her talent is extraordinary. She can score from anywhere on the court. She controls the ball equally well with either hand. Amazing passing with incredible precision - whether a long-distance pass or a behind-the-back bounce pass. And unlike several WBNA players, she exhibits good sportsmanlike conduct on and off the court. The WBNA needs to get rid of about 1/3 of its players - and all of the corrupt refs. Too many play dirty, and too many scream racism. There are too many flagrant fouls where the refs look the other way - or they look with a blind eye and silently cheer the offender. Caitlin Clark is here to play clean professional basketball - and that is what attracts fans. Too many other players are there to play dirty full-contact roller derby - and that is what turns fans off.
The Fever are just a fun team to watch. Clark's extended range and innate passing ability, Kelsey Mitchell's ball handle and pull-up jumper, and a young and soon-to-be force with Aaliyah Boston. But Caitlin Clark is definitely the poster child of the league and I'm all for it.
Being a super casual fan of basketball before this year, i didnt even know indy had a WNBA team until they drafted CC. Now i can name atleast 3 players from every team just from watching the Fever all season. 😂
They sneaky feel like the Mavericks if Luka had Haliburtons playstyle. Luka/Hali = CC, Kelsey = Kyrie, AB = DLive, Lexi = Klay. Its so fun to watch them push the pace and move the ball and take a lot of jumpers lol
@@ronelz999 I've learned many of the players, too. Some of them I've come to appreciate as excellent players. I even went to the all star game this year, since I lived close enough to drive. Because I was becoming famiiar with the players and wanted to watch them in person. It was a good game.
That was GREAT! I am the perfect example of what you were talking about! Before C.C. I had never watched a WNBA game. EVER! Now I’m following this young lady everyday!
I’m an Englishman who loosely follows the NBA and Caitlin Clark is the only reason why I have had any exposure to women’s basketball at all. One thing I can’t fathom is why the WNBA seems hell bent on squandering the gift she has been to her sport in terms of global exposure. High tide raises all boats and she should be celebrated for that. Who cares what race she is or who was there before her, she has elevated her sport like no one else and everyone stands to gain from it.
@@VCshots nah man YT added loads of weird characters after my name and idk how to remove them; irrespective of that the point still stands and the players there before her will be the first to whinge if she left and took the attention and money with her.
Give her a year or two, and she'll find her way back there. She already improved so much since the start of the season, and she'll only get better with a good few months to rest, recover, and get herself into form.
@@jiahaogoh2822 It's really stupid because if she wins, they're all going to benefit from the sport growing but they're so full of envy and hate that they're willing to go back to how things were and block their own blessings smh
@@11bornrich Other players are upset because the media primarily focuses on CC. They are saying to give CC her flowers but give us our flowers too. Its human nature. I am confident that most would feel that same way. Kelsey Mitchell scored like 30 pts and CC score 11 and the media tagline was CC leads the Fever to victory.
Her passing and play-making is even better than her shooting. She racked up 19 assists in one game. Before this season the WNBA had seen only a total of less than 30 triple doubles in its entire history. That's an average of about one per season. Clark put up two triple doubles in the season, and a few other near-triple doubles.
@@12savage68if she’s still having the same issues in years 2, 3 or later then it’ll be a problem. The greatest players always come back better after each offseason.
Not to mention the best passers always have a high turn over rate because their teammates can't handle the pass. Typically because they aren't expecting it.
Helpful analysis. Ms. Clark is the real deal. She has breathe new life into the WNBA. Hopefully, the fan support next year will increase substantially once again with the introduction of Paige Bueckers to the league.
This blokes information graphs are off the charts.. argue with that woke WNBA… classiest pro athlete I’ve seen.. subscribing immediately… Australian CC fan 🇦🇺✌️🇦🇺
Yet another example of CCs influence, good for WNBA, they’ve got potential with the incoming gen hopefully the seniors acknowledge and support them instead of hating from the sidelines
CC made so many new women's hoops channel actually and those existing are now including it to their content. She's making everyone a penny she deserves royalty from every profit made😁
Just think about the attendance alone at stadiums. They went (her team dummies) from not profitable, to extraordinary profits like turning on a light switch. From 4000 to 17,000 is astronomical increases from attendance.
@@Thomas998822 bruh….i rock with cc & she is great for women’s hoops…..but the downside is she brought all these stans who think that women just started hooping 2 yrs ago & believe she is the GOAT….and post comments like this….
@@Thomas998822 her team smart guy, her team is profitable. Her team went from 4000 to 17,000 average, her team sold out the entire year, her team became profitable. Why don't you read better you must be a casual reader...
And to think that the refs refused to give her even the most obvious calls. To think that Caitlin was hacked and literally assaulted on several occasions. It's a miracle she was not injured. They refused to let her be even slightly open for her jump shot, so she passed like a demon. She is even better than we thought.
not sure if this is exactly true, I do think a whole history of misogny (upheld by men) would point otherwise. I do think the hate is a different kind in certain ways, but "more" is doing some heavy lifting here.
Let’s put it like that. I don’t watch and I don’t follow WNBA at all. I only know a couple of names mainly from stories not directly related to the basketball. And Caitlin Clark is the only one I know for being good on the court.
And why do you think she's the only one you know? Let's be real, she's a great player but if she was blk, she wouldn't be nearly as popular. Yt people want to support yt players. It is what it is.
I think this is the best statement I've seen on Caitlin Clark the player, her season, and her contributions to her sport. The word 'monster' comes to mind...
I watched my first WNBA game live this summer while on a trip to Minneapolis, it was because of 22 being in town. Electric environment, amazing game, and Clark popped off in the second half… Lynx won it in the end, but I saw it live and this lady is legit, really grateful I got to witness it.
Thank you for this video. I don't follow basketball at all, and I know who Caitlyn Clark is and I watch videos like this to hear more about her. I quickly stopped watching WNBA games this year as I was sickened by so-called "professional" players and coaches being outright rude, offensive, and even physically aggressive toward a break-out player. I don't care to watch highly paid people actually like a bunch of crabs.
I want to also say her Iowa team was what I loved about watching her. Absolutely NO drama. And Clark lifted everyone up! It was incredible! And I miss this team so much, please don’t forget the University of Iowa team.
@@AChickenWithShadesim tired of Sid the Sloth being named, I don’t want to see her or hear about her. Useless bricklayer gets praised for no reason. Worst player I’ve ever laid eyes upon.
Really, it's as simple as two stats that Jimmy showed: 1 - Diana Taurasi was probably the best offensive WNBA player of all time. CC's rookie season 38+ generated PPG BLEW Taurasi out of the water. 2 - Her avg 3pt attempt distance is longer than ANY NBA player last year. Bombing 3's and dropping dimes makes you legendary. Anyone saying different is ignorant or jealous (or both)
The fact that people were comparing Angel Reese to Cici is wild to me. If people really watched how Angel plays, they wouldve seen the different level of efficiency and talent. Its not the same at all.
People like y’all are insufferable. Not once was Angel mentioned in the video yet she rent feee in ur head. Stop tearing down players to lift another. It’s corny.
@@JaydenFuller lol maybe she shouldn't be a hater and proud of it and blaxs like you should be ashamed of her behavior instead of supporting it then denying its happens
nothing will ever change the fact that caitlin clark put the wnba on the map. she’s the magic, larry bird, jordan, kobe, and lebron of the league. Purely looking at her impacts from a business perspective, she’s built greatness for her legacy. It’s too early to decide her effectiveness as a player, the future will decide that.
That's a very good take however the last part has already been decided by so many of her fans. they tout her as the best in the league which is my only issue.
I can't get over the absolute swarms of young girls coming to see her in this vid alone. She could inspire a whole generation of girls to play hoops, who want to learn to shoot and pass like she does. And people will undoubtedly stick around and see other great players in the league as well. You need people like CC who come in and are just doing things you never seen before. It grows the game. People will literally be practicing and growing skills that they never did before because the bar has been raised. And controversial take, I'd rather see CC taking beyond NBA 3's and making them, than a girl bigger than anybody else miss 5 layups and get all those rebounds
@@Lloyd00 some of that is from the pushback that she's received. So people go over the top to defend her. I'm used to NBA speed/talent so when I watch the WNBA it's like watching little kids struggle to hit layups, and when I watch CC you can tell she's better. She looks more NBA then WNBA, and she will hopefully get better as in faster and more efficient and thus separate herself further from them. What also works against the others is when Angel Reese who looks so bad is commenting anything regarding CC. Hopefully Angel takes basketball seriously becomes a female like Julius randle and creates a nice rivalry. Both need to continue to improve their respective games. I do think that the options that Angel has or perhaps her interests might not line up with basketball. Where CC just seems like a gym rat. We will see what becomes of their respective careers.
Holy crap! Beautiful charts. Did you make those yourself. I haven't seen any of them anywhere else. The points-generated chart and the Fever attendance graph were jaw-dropping. Great video!
@@joseurbaez8869 You know that for sure? Also, someone's automatically racist because they want to watch someone that looks like them? Last time I checked, that's been said quite a bit by POC who feel underrepresented in media. Are they racist too for wanting to watch someone like themself? I don't think there is any evidence that people are only watching because she's white, but just wanted to point out the double standard as well.
the WNBA right now is like if everyone in the NBA was a Shaq-like salty hater combined with the dirty play of Draymond and was targeting all their hate on Wemby.
Youre literally the only sports channel i wait for. I love the graphics and thoroughly appreciate the research. The explanations are immaculate and your overall love for the sport is extremely admirable
It's also a bit of an asspull. He just framed everything in a way that makes Catlin look as good as possible, stats are funny like that. She isn't even the best player in the league, the girl who won MVP is head and shoulders above her still. Caitlin will get there 1 day but not today There are analytic freaks that think derrick white was a top 10 player last season. You can do funny things with stats
@@123payattention He didn't say that she was the best player, he made a video because she's getting a ton of hate despite being a great player and the best thing that happened in the league. If what you got from this video was that he was trying to diminish any player then you have some introspection to do
@@Rayan2track where the hell do you get off saying that? Maybe reread my comment. And jimmy 1000% tried to frame this video as if Caitlin was already the best player in the league. He leads you to that conclusion without saying it himself.
@@123payattention Yes he did frame her in a positive manner because she's having a lot of "overrated" allegations but not one time in the video did he say that she was the best player in the league. Watch the video again
I still remembered when I introduced Caitlin Clark to my non-sport-fan wife, and even before mentioning all the criticism Caitlyn was facing, her first reaction was "Wow it would be such a bloodbath". She doesn't know WNBA ladies & gentlemen, she just know women.
What was that all about? So the harsh truth is, CC is NOT over rated. I kind of knew that. Rumor has it,that she broke 60+ records (40% of those were men’s’ records)in her first year as a professional. Not the best headline. Get a grip:CC is the WNBA. Good news is, the league as a whole, will raise there level of play. Remember Bird and Magic did not do it alone. They laid the path that Mike consumed. CC is a role model on, and off the court. The league will prosper,the fans will marvel at the product,and God knows how desperately the country needs a roll model,for man, woman, and child.
She is a great player. I would even say she plays like a man. She is white, heterosexual and schooling a bunch of uptight lesbians. I love how she passes so efforestly.
Of all the names mentioned at the beginning of this video, CC is unique in that it is the media that is actually suppressing positive coverage of her. When the others were rising, it was largely the media that was running cover for them. Emphasizing each new box score, analyzing and explaining just why what you watched was so historic and making excuses for them (I.e. LeBron just needs more help). The content is there, ripe for the taking. CCs numbers are even more impressive when you consider she’s been picked up full court, roughed up, double teamed etc whereas past rookies didn’t have to go through that. Give her a good franchise with a solid coach and some HOF veterans and it gets bananas
She's about to DOMINATE the league: Pre-All Star break: 17.1 - 8.2 - 5.8 while shooting 33% from 3 Post-All Star break: 23.1 - 8.9 - 5.4 while shooting 37% from 3 23.1 PPG for a whole season would be top-10 all-time 8.9 APG would be top-3 all-time She's going to own every. single. WNBA. record. for points and assists when she retires, assuming she stays healthy. It isn't even going to be close. Her records will stand for DECADES.
oh man this got me HYPED! I loved the graphs! I loved the writing. And honestly its so true, she's the only name i know of in the league, when i was a kid. The only ball players i had even heard of were magic johnson, Larry bird, and Michael Jordan. and by extension of Michael i knew Scotty Pippen and Dennis Rodman. The focus shouldnt be "why is she getting all this attention?" it's obvious when you see her play. I've watched other clips of allegedly well known players in the WNBA and the clips just seem so boring. They feel like they're running in slow motion... but these Caitlin clips... they feel like real speed. they feel like NBA levels of speed. until Caitlin i had no interest in WNBA.
@@joejohnnysyou've seen so many posts about her that you've forgotten her name? that said, this is easy to verify. go to ESPN and search for Caitlin Clark and then search for Angel Reese. see which one had more results to test your theory.
Those same people thinking she's being pushed by the media also think that multi-time felon and career criminal scumbag George Floyd was a saint. Their judgement has no merit.
She's Transcending the Sport too wayyy higher levels then its ever have been. This will be talked about for all of WNBA history. When The WNBA became a Recognized Sport to the World. Also in the Future Womens NBA will be completely different players will be making way more money, more Sponsorships and also Alot more Parent, Girls will be inspired by Caitlin and by all the other 2024 Draft Class which will make even more Better players for years to come just as Jordan an Lebron has done for this Generation of the NBA .
When someone is objectively that much better, the haters just come flocking out of the woodwork. Hopefully they can stop focusing on her so much and just, ya know, git gud.
this is a terrible take. Hate is a strong word. Players don't hate CC. Those veteran professional players have self-respect and simply resent and despise CCs toxic, disrespectful, deranged, sociopath fans.
@@b0nz0beavis she’s already got several other players attempting 28ft shots. They’ll emulate her but I think it’ll be a while before they can do it as good as she does. Her teammates are even attempting to pass like her. She’s gonna elevate the women’s game like Jordan did the NBA.
@@Thomas998822I’m getting tired of this bs deflection. Admit that y’all hate her and don’t use the “fans” as a crutch. Because if they defend themselves y’all will say “see they bad blah blah” and if they don’t they just gotta sit there and take it from you so called “fans”. Caitlin came in and got all the attention and most fans like her style of play but of course the HATERS will never admit it and just cry racism to her fans but completely ignoring the racism that’s been blatant towards Clark this whole season.
@@Thomas998822 Oh, so all those flagrant fouls are purely tactical? Cos they sure as shit don't look that way. And if they don't like whatever miniscule proportion of her fan-base that you're talking about, they should be professional enough to let their skills do the talking.
It's crazy the amount of hate she gets. I mean Bird was white but the rest of the NBA didn't hate on him for it and that was back in the 80's. CC gets hate from the rest of the league because she is straight, white and Christian. These WNBA players and former players need to get over themselves and realize CC is good for all of them. They should be promoting her and pushing her brand. I do have to give CC credit for the way she has handled it all though, she has stayed humble and kept her mouth shut. That can't be easy with all the $h17 everyone talks and the way she's treated during games.
@@Christo_TrismegistusDrummond is a good comp. AR might have the worst finishing skills around the basket I've seen a professional player have. But she is a rookie as well and there's no denying with advanced stats like net rating, ability to run the floor at her size, and really elite rebounding she stands to have a very successful WNBA career. What's crazy to me is CC shooting 34%, respectable WNBA shooting percentage, at super high volume, from beyond NBA range, as a rookie.
@@RandomUsersRandomAccountOnly thing wrong with the comp, and it’s pretty significant, is that Drummond averaged 60% from the field his rookie season. As a big, her averaging 39% from the field is really, really bad. If she averaged 60% from the field her rebounding numbers wouldn’t be nearly as high. She’s an inherently flawed player that can’t shoot and can’t finish at the rim. Any big in the NBA that couldn’t shoot and had bad efficiency at the rim would be out of the league within a couple of years.
they will never talk about her negatives, its always like this... Angel is the devil and Clark is god to them. anything angel does is not real ,does not exist or should not have happened but everything clark does is supposed to happen or its someone else fault. that's why AB and most of the fever had to get off of social media. the constant harassment by her fans. even though she isn't shooting well from 3 and has historic turnover rates. so much so that she broke the wnba record for turnovers in the first 20 games. not a rookie record... a wnba record lmao. She plays absolutely no defense and is a big reason they lost to the suns in the playoffs. she was constantly not guarding her man which lead to mabrey just hitting them from 3 all game.. she isnt consistant at all but she can shoot deep so people care more about that i guess. she has no midrang jumper, no floater and she cant layup or is uncomfortable laying up on her left side. she also gives up during games she feels she can't win. you can see it how she plays and her face during those times but hey she can really beat a chair lmao.
Caitlin Clark had NO offseason to prepare. She had NO adjustment time. She was in the NCAA in April, and less than 1 month later, she's banging VS grown women in the WNBA. That's ridiculous. Now Imagine how good she's going to be next season, with the prep time! She didn't even know her team mates' names when she joined the Fever, let alone how they played or what they could do.
I'm from Argentina and Caitlin is the only WNBA that I know. People in the WNBA should be happy about it (Because more viewership equals more money) but envy and racism makes it difficult for some..
and yet, media and players still trying to diminish her value..the herd mentality is incredible. Don't shine, just be mediocre like the rest so we don't look bad. Life's always better when you find the driving force to look up and aim big. Clark is that force that could help so many player become even better. hopefully it happens.
They’re suppppppper jealous of her. If she was blk, they’d still be jealous but they wouldn’t be assaulting her on the court and trashing her and her fans on sm. They can’t stand the fact that a yt woman is the face of and reason for the WNBA exploding in popularity.
She's a rookie and is already made more money than everyone in the league before she even played a single game cause of endorsements. They're simply jealous feeling that they most likely have been just as good or if not better than clark so they feel like they should've already had charter planes, nationality televised games etc. Which is not true but that seems to be their mindset
I've always seen it as a reaction to the fans that followed her to the league. In any league, when a rookie is taking it by storm, the vets aren't going to take it easy on them
@@ReignMaker26 i dont know the NBA does it quite well. Lebron, MJ, Wemby were all welcomed with praise and the i want to show that kid how its done here attidude. But nothing malicious like in the WNBA.
In an interview in the 90s, Wilt said every single player in the NBA should give 10% of their salary to Michael Jordan because he's the one putting eyes on the product and butts in seats. Just saying.
It kinda worked out like that. MJ signed a $30 million contract for 1 season. The rationale behind the "balloon" payment is the fact that the NBA and the Bulls made so much money during MJ's previous years that it was a late payment for his presence and contribution.
Mj literally got a 30 million dollar deal in 1998 where the salary cap was around 25 million he literally got more than the cap. That would be like a player earning 200 million a year in the modern NBA.
When Clark files her taxes, she should put the WNBA as a dependent.

@@lordwinanimeach party has made a concious decision to make this a race play except caitlin clark…she is the “goliath” and main star in this case so everyone else formulates a plan to ride her coattails.

lmao the last one got me
Jordan got into the NBA in '84 and didn't win his first championship until '91. So to say that Caitlin's overrated because she didn't win a championship in her first year is ludicrous.
as much of a prospect as wemby is, the spurs didnt even make it to the playoffs, i dont know why people are saying shes overhyped after she got swept in the playoffs in her very first season in the league.
@@yagrammylemons Basketball's still a team sport
Stop using Jordan as the bar. Wilt ? Sure.
I didn’t expect her to win a championship, but i didn’t expect her to shatter the wnba record for most turnovers in a season halfway through her first season either.
Remember, Chicago retooled its entire team around Jordan, and he had no success until Larry hurt his back, Magic got Aides and quit and the Pistons got old.

Exactly! I did not see any wnba games for the last 20+ years, after I was disapointed during the first couple of years. Now I can't get enough of the Fever games.

She just needs to improve her shooting and touch around the hoop and it can be a great rivalry, which would be great for the league...

The same thing happened in my country, Australia, with the women's soccer team.
Sam Kerr was the Golden Girl. All of a sudden, the entire nation was watching.
The difference being that all the other women players were supporting and cheering for her publicly. More people at the games, meant more money for the players.
They were not trying to take her down because she was better than everyone else.

Thank you for this excellent video. Like many I knew nothing about the WNBA until I stumbled across a few youtube videos with highlights of Caitlin Clark plays. Her talent is extraordinary. She can score from anywhere on the court. She controls the ball equally well with either hand. Amazing passing with incredible precision - whether a long-distance pass or a behind-the-back bounce pass. And unlike several WBNA players, she exhibits good sportsmanlike conduct on and off the court. The WBNA needs to get rid of about 1/3 of its players - and all of the corrupt refs. Too many play dirty, and too many scream racism. There are too many flagrant fouls where the refs look the other way - or they look with a blind eye and silently cheer the offender. Caitlin Clark is here to play clean professional basketball - and that is what attracts fans. Too many other players are there to play dirty full-contact roller derby - and that is what turns fans off.
The Fever are just a fun team to watch. Clark's extended range and innate passing ability, Kelsey Mitchell's ball handle and pull-up jumper, and a young and soon-to-be force with Aaliyah Boston. But Caitlin Clark is definitely the poster child of the league and I'm all for it.
And also Lexi Hull, who is a pest on defense and finished the last half of the season with the best 3 point percentage in the league.
Being a super casual fan of basketball before this year, i didnt even know indy had a WNBA team until they drafted CC. Now i can name atleast 3 players from every team just from watching the Fever all season. 😂
@@jimmyboy131 criminally underrated as well. A lights out sniper
They sneaky feel like the Mavericks if Luka had Haliburtons playstyle. Luka/Hali = CC, Kelsey = Kyrie, AB = DLive, Lexi = Klay. Its so fun to watch them push the pace and move the ball and take a lot of jumpers lol
@@ronelz999 I've learned many of the players, too. Some of them I've come to appreciate as excellent players. I even went to the all star game this year, since I lived close enough to drive. Because I was becoming famiiar with the players and wanted to watch them in person. It was a good game.
That was GREAT! I am the perfect example of what you were talking about! Before C.C. I had never watched a WNBA game. EVER! Now I’m following this young lady everyday!
I’m an Englishman who loosely follows the NBA and Caitlin Clark is the only reason why I have had any exposure to women’s basketball at all. One thing I can’t fathom is why the WNBA seems hell bent on squandering the gift she has been to her sport in terms of global exposure.
High tide raises all boats and she should be celebrated for that. Who cares what race she is or who was there before her, she has elevated her sport like no one else and everyone stands to gain from it.

When Caitlin was born, the nurse said, "It's a basketball player."

Give her a year or two, and she'll find her way back there. She already improved so much since the start of the season, and she'll only get better with a good few months to rest, recover, and get herself into form.

@@11bornrich Other players are upset because the media primarily focuses on CC. They are saying to give CC her flowers but give us our flowers too. Its human nature. I am confident that most would feel that same way.
Kelsey Mitchell scored like 30 pts and CC score 11 and the media tagline was CC leads the Fever to victory.
Her passing and play-making is even better than her shooting. She racked up 19 assists in one game.
Before this season the WNBA had seen only a total of less than 30 triple doubles in its entire history. That's an average of about one per season. Clark put up two triple doubles in the season, and a few other near-triple doubles.
Her turnovers are ridiculously high and she doesn't have a left hand
@@12savage68 dont forget she doesnt have a midrange and is a liability on defense
She should have had even more assists that game too but there were quite a few wide open misses and dropped passes..
@@12savage68if she’s still having the same issues in years 2, 3 or later then it’ll be a problem. The greatest players always come back better after each offseason.
Not to mention the best passers always have a high turn over rate because their teammates can't handle the pass. Typically because they aren't expecting it.
Helpful analysis. Ms. Clark is the real deal. She has breathe new life into the WNBA. Hopefully, the fan support next year will increase substantially once again with the introduction of Paige Bueckers to the league.

so glad you're covering this, cause you're one channel of pure integrity!
you're videos honestly got my into watching basketball and actually trying to understand the game. please keep them coming.
nothing will ever change the fact that caitlin clark put the wnba on the map. she’s the magic, larry bird, jordan, kobe, and lebron of the league. Purely looking at her impacts from a business perspective, she’s built greatness for her legacy. It’s too early to decide her effectiveness as a player, the future will decide that.
That's a very good take however the last part has already been decided by so many of her fans. they tout her as the best in the league which is my only issue.
I can't get over the absolute swarms of young girls coming to see her in this vid alone. She could inspire a whole generation of girls to play hoops, who want to learn to shoot and pass like she does. And people will undoubtedly stick around and see other great players in the league as well. You need people like CC who come in and are just doing things you never seen before. It grows the game. People will literally be practicing and growing skills that they never did before because the bar has been raised. And controversial take, I'd rather see CC taking beyond NBA 3's and making them, than a girl bigger than anybody else miss 5 layups and get all those rebounds
The wnba is no more “on the map” then it was 10 years ago.
@@Lloyd00 kinda like Cowboy fans when they actually win a game. Welcome to the world of sports. first time?
@@Lloyd00 some of that is from the pushback that she's received. So people go over the top to defend her. I'm used to NBA speed/talent so when I watch the WNBA it's like watching little kids struggle to hit layups, and when I watch CC you can tell she's better. She looks more NBA then WNBA, and she will hopefully get better as in faster and more efficient and thus separate herself further from them.
What also works against the others is when Angel Reese who looks so bad is commenting anything regarding CC. Hopefully Angel takes basketball seriously becomes a female like Julius randle and creates a nice rivalry. Both need to continue to improve their respective games. I do think that the options that Angel has or perhaps her interests might not line up with basketball. Where CC just seems like a gym rat.
We will see what becomes of their respective careers.

She doesn't know WNBA ladies & gentlemen, she just know women.
What was that all about? So the harsh truth is, CC is NOT over rated. I kind of knew that. Rumor has it,that she broke 60+ records (40% of those were men’s’ records)in her first year as a professional. Not the best headline. Get a grip:CC is the WNBA. Good news is, the league as a whole, will raise there level of play. Remember Bird and Magic did not do it alone. They laid the path that Mike consumed. CC is a role model on, and off the court. The league will prosper,the fans will marvel at the product,and God knows how desperately the country needs a roll model,for man, woman, and child.
CC's tax return is going to be CRAZZY after claiming more than 100 dependants....

10:14 I'm surprised how the 4-peat Houston Comets somehow were not the most popular WNBA team in the early years
She is a great player. I would even say she plays like a man. She is white, heterosexual and schooling a bunch of uptight lesbians. I love how she passes so efforestly.
My grandparents hate basketball. But they’ve never missed a Caitlyn Clark game
Well, you'll miss them soon.
Of all the names mentioned at the beginning of this video, CC is unique in that it is the media that is actually suppressing positive coverage of her. When the others were rising, it was largely the media that was running cover for them. Emphasizing each new box score, analyzing and explaining just why what you watched was so historic and making excuses for them (I.e. LeBron just needs more help).
The content is there, ripe for the taking. CCs numbers are even more impressive when you consider she’s been picked up full court, roughed up, double teamed etc whereas past rookies didn’t have to go through that. Give her a good franchise with a solid coach and some HOF veterans and it gets bananas
4:57 keep in mind men play 82 games a season. Women 40…
She's about to DOMINATE the league:
Pre-All Star break: 17.1 - 8.2 - 5.8 while shooting 33% from 3
Post-All Star break: 23.1 - 8.9 - 5.4 while shooting 37% from 3
23.1 PPG for a whole season would be top-10 all-time
8.9 APG would be top-3 all-time
She's going to own every. single. WNBA. record. for points and assists when she retires, assuming she stays healthy. It isn't even going to be close. Her records will stand for DECADES.
WNBA and Womans Sport should capatilice so hard on this woman.
She could kickstart something great fpr the womans sport.
I cant understand the critic
was a little confused lol. "capatilice" = capitalize in English.
English as 2nd language?

0:42 happy gilmore
CC popularity > Everyone else in the WNBA put together
And then there’s Caitlin Clark. 😂 very entertaining video, especially with data reflecting a non AI voice. Thanks for this 👍
Mannnn. This is how a GOAT begins their journey.
my life revolves around jxmyhighrollers upload schedule
4:53 ESPN just proved that we all talk basketball and don't watch basketball
oh man this got me HYPED! I loved the graphs! I loved the writing. And honestly its so true, she's the only name i know of in the league, when i was a kid. The only ball players i had even heard of were magic johnson, Larry bird, and Michael Jordan. and by extension of Michael i knew Scotty Pippen and Dennis Rodman. The focus shouldnt be "why is she getting all this attention?" it's obvious when you see her play. I've watched other clips of allegedly well known players in the WNBA and the clips just seem so boring. They feel like they're running in slow motion... but these Caitlin clips... they feel like real speed. they feel like NBA levels of speed. until Caitlin i had no interest in WNBA.
People think she's being pushed by the media but then her fans think she's being pushed down by the media. Lol
Ain't that crazy 😂
I see way more posts about that other one forgot the name, reeves idk than CC. Especially ESPN
@@joejohnnysyou've seen so many posts about her that you've forgotten her name? that said, this is easy to verify. go to ESPN and search for Caitlin Clark and then search for Angel Reese. see which one had more results to test your theory.
Those same people thinking she's being pushed by the media also think that multi-time felon and career criminal scumbag George Floyd was a saint. Their judgement has no merit.
She's Transcending the Sport too wayyy higher levels then its ever have been.
This will be talked about for all of WNBA history.
When The WNBA became a Recognized Sport to the World.
Also in the Future Womens NBA will be completely different players will be making way more money, more Sponsorships and also Alot more Parent, Girls will be inspired by Caitlin and by all the other 2024 Draft Class which will make even more Better players for years to come just as Jordan an Lebron has done for this Generation of the NBA .
This was a phenomenally well done video, as usual.
63 records in 42 games in her rookie season and you wanna say she's not worth all that hype? Impressive
blaxs are fragile and dont want to admit that whites can be good at the sport invited by white people
When someone is objectively that much better, the haters just come flocking out of the woodwork. Hopefully they can stop focusing on her so much and just, ya know, git gud.
this is a terrible take. Hate is a strong word. Players don't hate CC. Those veteran professional players have self-respect and simply resent and despise CCs toxic, disrespectful, deranged, sociopath fans.
That much better than who? A'ja Wilson is a better player than her and yet people like to act like she is a Caitlin hater. Makes no sense.
@@b0nz0beavis she’s already got several other players attempting 28ft shots. They’ll emulate her but I think it’ll be a while before they can do it as good as she does. Her teammates are even attempting to pass like her. She’s gonna elevate the women’s game like Jordan did the NBA.
@@Thomas998822I’m getting tired of this bs deflection. Admit that y’all hate her and don’t use the “fans” as a crutch. Because if they defend themselves y’all will say “see they bad blah blah” and if they don’t they just gotta sit there and take it from you so called “fans”. Caitlin came in and got all the attention and most fans like her style of play but of course the HATERS will never admit it and just cry racism to her fans but completely ignoring the racism that’s been blatant towards Clark this whole season.
@@Thomas998822 Oh, so all those flagrant fouls are purely tactical? Cos they sure as shit don't look that way. And if they don't like whatever miniscule proportion of her fan-base that you're talking about, they should be professional enough to let their skills do the talking.
It's crazy the amount of hate she gets. I mean Bird was white but the rest of the NBA didn't hate on him for it and that was back in the 80's. CC gets hate from the rest of the league because she is straight, white and Christian.
These WNBA players and former players need to get over themselves and realize CC is good for all of them. They should be promoting her and pushing her brand.
I do have to give CC credit for the way she has handled it all though, she has stayed humble and kept her mouth shut. That can't be easy with all the $h17 everyone talks and the way she's treated during games.
Christian in name only I bet. Probably cusses up a storm, has sexual intercourse, etc.
Comparing angel reese to caitlin clark is like comparing kwame brown to kobe bryant. There's levels to this
Angel Reese is like Andre Drummond. I'm not saying Angel is on Caitlin's level but she's all star level at least and won a title in college
@@Christo_TrismegistusDrummond is a good comp. AR might have the worst finishing skills around the basket I've seen a professional player have. But she is a rookie as well and there's no denying with advanced stats like net rating, ability to run the floor at her size, and really elite rebounding she stands to have a very successful WNBA career. What's crazy to me is CC shooting 34%, respectable WNBA shooting percentage, at super high volume, from beyond NBA range, as a rookie.
@@RandomUsersRandomAccountOnly thing wrong with the comp, and it’s pretty significant, is that Drummond averaged 60% from the field his rookie season. As a big, her averaging 39% from the field is really, really bad. If she averaged 60% from the field her rebounding numbers wouldn’t be nearly as high. She’s an inherently flawed player that can’t shoot and can’t finish at the rim. Any big in the NBA that couldn’t shoot and had bad efficiency at the rim would be out of the league within a couple of years.
they will never talk about her negatives, its always like this... Angel is the devil and Clark is god to them. anything angel does is not real ,does not exist or should not have happened but everything clark does is supposed to happen or its someone else fault. that's why AB and most of the fever had to get off of social media. the constant harassment by her fans.
even though she isn't shooting well from 3 and has historic turnover rates. so much so that she broke the wnba record for turnovers in the first 20 games. not a rookie record... a wnba record lmao. She plays absolutely no defense and is a big reason they lost to the suns in the playoffs. she was constantly not guarding her man which lead to mabrey just hitting them from 3 all game.. she isnt consistant at all but she can shoot deep so people care more about that i guess. she has no midrang jumper, no floater and she cant layup or is uncomfortable laying up on her left side. she also gives up during games she feels she can't win. you can see it how she plays and her face during those times but hey she can really beat a chair lmao.
@@Christo_Trismegistus nah man drummond actually was a good defender and not just stat padding his rebounds.
Caitlin Clark had NO offseason to prepare. She had NO adjustment time. She was in the NCAA in April, and less than 1 month later, she's banging VS grown women in the WNBA. That's ridiculous. Now Imagine how good she's going to be next season, with the prep time!
She didn't even know her team mates' names when she joined the Fever, let alone how they played or what they could do.
Not going to lie, I'm very casual and only pay attention to cc
I'm from Argentina and Caitlin is the only WNBA that I know.
People in the WNBA should be happy about it (Because more viewership equals more money) but envy and racism makes it difficult for some..
and yet, media and players still trying to diminish her value..the herd mentality is incredible. Don't shine, just be mediocre like the rest so we don't look bad. Life's always better when you find the driving force to look up and aim big. Clark is that force that could help so many player become even better. hopefully it happens.
Herd mentality is typical amongst women and journalists
@@plumlogan It's typical among men as well
Respect to her. She’s the real deal and dealt with everything with so much class
Caitlin Clark is a beast! I'll never understand the hate she gets from other players in the league.
They’re suppppppper jealous of her. If she was blk, they’d still be jealous but they wouldn’t be assaulting her on the court and trashing her and her fans on sm. They can’t stand the fact that a yt woman is the face of and reason for the WNBA exploding in popularity.
Her loser ass fanbase
She's a rookie and is already made more money than everyone in the league before she even played a single game cause of endorsements. They're simply jealous feeling that they most likely have been just as good or if not better than clark so they feel like they should've already had charter planes, nationality televised games etc. Which is not true but that seems to be their mindset
I've always seen it as a reaction to the fans that followed her to the league. In any league, when a rookie is taking it by storm, the vets aren't going to take it easy on them
@@ReignMaker26 i dont know the NBA does it quite well. Lebron, MJ, Wemby were all welcomed with praise and the i want to show that kid how its done here attidude. But nothing malicious like in the WNBA.
Finally a video about WNBA!!
In an interview in the 90s, Wilt said every single player in the NBA should give 10% of their salary to Michael Jordan because he's the one putting eyes on the product and butts in seats. Just saying.
It kinda worked out like that. MJ signed a $30 million contract for 1 season. The rationale behind the "balloon" payment is the fact that the NBA and the Bulls made so much money during MJ's previous years that it was a late payment for his presence and contribution.
Nike took care of that...
Yep. Just an honest, unbiased, rational take on the reality of it. The wnba needs to try it.
Mj literally got a 30 million dollar deal in 1998 where the salary cap was around 25 million he literally got more than the cap. That would be like a player earning 200 million a year in the modern NBA.
She is literally the BIGGEST name in sports right now
