Clark as a Rookie WNBA player to receive this award. How impressive. Time Athlete of the year, Business Athlete of the Year, WNBA ROY, All Star, WNBA #1 Team, 62 records broken. Filled stadiums, had games moves, sold merchandise like no one else, added $36M to Indiana economy. While be guarded like no one else in the league. Can we now say with certainty, Caitlin Clark greatest WNBA Rookie ever. For all WNBA rookies who follow Clark, to regarded as better you need to do all this and more. This is the bar.
That is one heck of a high bar set by CC. Is it going to go even higher next year ? My crystal ball is out for repair. I'm thinking there are several players working on upping their game for next year. Can't wait to see who excels and who just resorts to bully ball.
Unmatched by any of her WNBA colleagues, athletically or socially refined, the beautiful Caitlyn Clark finally receiving the recognition she's worked for.
So very well deserved! How she has handled all the pressure and animosity during her college and wnba career this year has been so impressive. Such a humble, kind young woman. Well done Caitlin 🎉
Nice game did u see Notre Dame Beat UConn matter of fact did u see them beat USC 🔥 Hanana & mills beat both of them.. They dealt them their only lost of the season.. Underrated…
Congrats to CC and congrats to women's basketball. Thise ratings are the definition of the CC Effect. For those in the back who do not understand... last year I wouldn't have cares 2 cents about this game. But CC got me invested in women's basketball and wanting to see Juju and Paige battle each other and it was a nice game. Give CC her respect. Stop trying to diminish her light.
Caitlin has always said thanks to the people who came before her. People think she changed, but this is the way she has always been 😂 Even before joining the WNBA.
I agree. People forget that Caitlin grew up from childhood watching WNBA games and idolizing the players. Having a favorite player - Maya Moore. At age 12, getting her dad to take her to Minneapolis (3.5 hour drive reach way) to watch a Lynx game in person. Whereas today's college students such as Flaujae Johnson have admitted they've never watched or cared about the WNBA.
CC22 had two full seasons in 2024. One college and one WNBA season. For anyone suggesting she does not deserve the award they should check again. For the people who think Juju is some kind of hero after a few non meaning games maybe they should her stats. Juju has way less points way less assists and fewer rebounds. The idea she should be mentioned along with CC22 goes so far past dream players. I know they want a black player to be the league face but after last year's push of Angel to be the ROTY. ESPN should pump the brakes, fans are not as open as last year.
Two generational athletes, Shohei Ohtani ⚾and Caitlin Clark 🏀, named as AP Male and Female Athletes of the Year, respectively. And both overwhelmingly deserving of the award. 👏👏👏
I have to say that Travis Hunter has to be AP Male Athlete of the year with all the other 8 awards he won this year. Most of any college player in history.
Isn’t it baffling, that only WNBA players (past and present), who are jealous; when Clark, who is one of THEIR own, win an award? Only athletes outside the WNBA, where Clark is getting the support and recognition AND celebrated, for her contributions to WOMEN’S sports.
I don't know, I think if they actually fix the referee problem, the Fever could go all the way to the championship! And hopefully win. I'm hoping for a Fever/Lynx or Fever/Aces matchup.
with all the clickbait swirling around, i just wait for your postings to get real, expert analysis. thanks for all you do Ben. good health to you in 2025.
The Fever need to play 2/3 preseason games in Europe next year, maybe one game in the U.K one in France and another in Germany against different opponents to grow not just their brand but the WNBA brand, I have very little confidence of this happening however as if something like this occurred the Fever would just get the one game so as to be fair to the other franchises can't have them getting jealous after all.
Come back girls when you do back some records like over 62 records stop building these young girls up with and the minute they don’t preform they are ridicule rundown just let them play instead of compèring them to someone who they not
Yes heaven forbid she didn't earn that at all she works her ass off in the gym she doesn't degrade people like assholes on ESPN does sure everything just given to her on the silver platter didn't earn it she don't work hard this gaslighting crap makes me angry seriously
@Giganticonion and I know that's what I was saying but the records speak for themselves as a rookie mind you with her getting beat up all season long hated by ESPN clowns and it continues to this day unfortunately and she just won athlete of the year female athlete of the year The gold CC you got my support
Don't you think it's time for Geno to retire? He is so full of crap, he can't see past home team and he has not adjusted with the times. I think women that have more opportunities will make other choices.
STOP MAKING STUPID STATEMENTS , CLARK IS GENERATIONAL , THEY ARE NOT , WHEN THEY BREAK 62 RECORDS IN THEIR FIRST ROOKIE SEASON , TALK THEN, THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN ,EVEN THE DOG ON THE STREET KNOWS IT, YOUR ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION BUT IF YOU WANT TO DREAM, GO TO BED, NO BASKETBALL IQ
However, Caitlin has no chance of winning MVP. The media, players outside of her team, and the coaches who predominantly influence the WNBA will do everything in their power to prevent that from happening.
I think once clark finally wins a championship, people won't be talking about these awards so much lol. These are literally sympathy awards, because awards usually goes to people that actually win, and when you don't, the award really doesn't carry any weight because everyone is just looking like, ok? How? Or who even cares lol. But carry on
And Dan Marino never won the super bowl. So by your thinking (or lack of thinking) Dan's hundreds of awards were a joke. Lol lol lol. Who ever lol's that much shouldn't be taken seriously anyway.
If one player is so capable of winning a championship regardless of who else is on the team, then why didn't A'ja get a threepeat for the Aces this year? Or why didn't Angel Reese take LSU to a SECOND NCAA championship this year?
@JE-IC no one is gonna win every single championship lol. The Aces battled with the liberty for the past couple of years and they got the best of each other. Both aja and Stewie are not just great players but great champions as well. That's what separates the really good from the really great
By the way, Paige Bueckers threw that game for juju let’s be honest here bent her knee like cc did don’t worry all you cc fans she gonna turn her back on you so go spend your money. Nobody gives a crap.
I’m done with sports. I’ll come to realization all the sports are rigged who gives a crap about juju or Paige Bueckers or cc forget them all this is a freaking clown show now.

Gonna be years for that. Nobody in college is even close.
In spite of all the welcome to the league fouls, hate and toxic jealous players and media.
That is one heck of a high bar set by CC. Is it going to go even higher next year ? My crystal ball is out for repair.
I'm thinking there are several players working on upping their game for next year. Can't wait to see who excels and who just resorts to bully ball.
That ain't happening.
But JUJU is so much better 😮😅😂🎉😅and Paige too😅😢😂 THE DELUSION IS STRONG IN THE W and their MEDIA
Catlin caused all this viewership.
The Golden Goose usually has that effect!💯
Well deserved! I'm so happy for CC. Looking for her to be MVP in '25!
Congrats to cc ,keep it up,merry christmas to ben and all the subscribers of this channel.
Unmatched by any of her WNBA colleagues, athletically or socially refined, the beautiful Caitlyn Clark finally receiving the recognition she's worked for.
Amazing 365 days for Clark!! What will she have in store for an encore? I'm not counting her out for back-to-back game changing years.
Merry Christmas! Have enjoyed watching your channel this year.
Ben you know and we know the haters are going to whine, please ignore them don’t give them any attention. Congrats CC. Let’s go Fever 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🎄
Merry Christmas to Ben, is family and to all the followers. thank you for your coverage this past year and for the future!
So very well deserved! How she has handled all the pressure and animosity during her college and wnba career this year has been so impressive. Such a humble, kind young woman. Well done Caitlin 🎉
What a year indeed!
I'm pleased to have tuned in your podcast Ben Daniel. Happy Christmas!
Caitlin is a tough act to follow. She has raised the bar so high that it's practically unrealistic
Well said. She is a multi-generational talent.
Merry Christmas Ben and Family! Merry Christmas to all!
AP Business give Clark Althlete of the Year? As it should be. 🤣
Watched UCONN vs USC, only because of CC and the hype over JuJu and Paige in comparing them to CC.
Nice game did u see Notre Dame Beat UConn matter of fact did u see them beat USC 🔥 Hanana & mills beat both of them.. They dealt them their only lost of the season.. Underrated…
@@KCE.Sports i seen that and yea they was hitting their shots in the biggest match up of the season
Merry Christmas Ben. You are mad entertaining.
This is grreeeaaat news, awwwwsome 🎉 congrats to Caitlin, can't wait for 2025 this going to be crrraaazzzzy...merry Christmas 🎄 everyone
Merriest of Christmas to you 🎄 once again CC one of one. She's an elite athlete and person.
She sold her soul for fame and fortune
@@IvanE-c8xseriously?
@@IvanE-c8xSold her soul? Dude you're a raving lunaric
As far as I can tell...none can match CC's style of play. A wizard both on and off the basketball court.... Congrats to her ✨🎉💖
Merry Christmas Ben hope you have a great day.
Happiest of Christmas to you ben 🎄🎅
How dare AP not give the award to the entire WNBA! 😂
NOBODY watched the WNBA until CC played. If she retires tomorrow nobody will watch the WNBA.
Ben Daniel and W-360 more crossover shows please. Great take as usual Ben. Salute to CC.
Merry Krimble and a gear New Year. Thanks Ben, enjoy the show immensely. Keep up the great work. Stay safe and be well
That's wonderful 👍👍👍👍👍
Merry Christmas Ben. Thanks for a great year of content.
Merry Xmas to you and yours Ben. 🎉
I didn’t watch UCONN and USC but congratulations to CC for the award and she’s the greatest WNBA rookie to play the game! She’s the bar!
Merry Xmas, Ben 😊
Quint from Jaws: "We're gonna need a bigger trophy case."
Merry Christmas Ben🎄
Seen two different comments on different channels recently where the posters said that they were relenting on their hate of Caitlin. Encouraging news.
2.3 mil viewers on that uconn vs usc regular season matchup is more than what most NBA games draw.
MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone. It's been a great year. Ben's da man!!! 💯 ♠ ♠
Merry Christmas!🎄‼️Thanks For The Great Content As Always! Great Perspective! Have A Great Holiday, Enjoy Your Family!
Merry Christmas to all. I miss TV guide and Reader's Digest. I know there are guides on cable but not as cool as TV Guide.
TV guide ruled when it was necessary.
Hey big Dog "MERRY CHRISTMAS "to you and all the great people here.
Merry Christmas, Ben!
Merry Christmas to you 🎄👍
Another good video Mr. Daniels

Clark didn't need the Olympics to achieve all these awards.

I think they're looking to the future because they know that she's about to go on a tear in 2025
2:54: I bet Sheryl Swoopes is going to congratulate Caitlin Clark on winning the same award as she did.
Caitlin will go on to win this award at least 4 times before she's done
Otis good job Ben
Can't wait. For the another interview in CNN
I'm sure finishing a close 3rd and 4th was Aja Wilson and Angel Reese
How long before we hear from Aja or scoops?
Aja is going to win Mad Magazine award 😉😂
3:13: Were the freedom fighters telling Rebecca Lobo that she was too white to deserve this award?
So, who's the best current player in women's college basketball? Hannah Hidalgo or Ta'Niya Latson?
HH
Hannah I guess😂
This is a worldview!
I don't know, I think if they actually fix the referee problem, the Fever could go all the way to the championship! And hopefully win. I'm hoping for a Fever/Lynx or Fever/Aces matchup.

How come it's not the entire WNBA for the award? 😂😂😂
Because if CC didn't play in the WNBA last year nobody would care, and if she retires tomorrow nobody would watch the WNBA.
⛄🎄
☮️❤️🙏🌍🌏🌎🇺🇸❤️☮️
When did Watkins and Bueckers play?
Ju Ju and Paige are only college player… they need to bring its in 2025. No pressure
Come back girls when you do back some records like over 62 records stop building these young girls up with and the minute they don’t preform they are ridicule rundown just let them play instead of compèring them to someone who they not
CC did bigger regular season views last season.
Why din't AJA win this in her rookie year ?...LOL
She turned it down....jk..lmao
Because A’ja’s black privilege only helps in the woke sphere! In the real world people aren’t swayed by DEI awards!
0:06: Happy Hanukkah! חג חנוכה שמח
I’m still waiting for the WNBA to hire you Ben, as a marketing advisor.
If the "really not a sport league" hadn't fought Clark so hard maybe ..... Oh wait, never mind, too much eggnog.
More racism ben, giving CC another award this won't go down well.
Yes heaven forbid she didn't earn that at all she works her ass off in the gym she doesn't degrade people like assholes on ESPN does sure everything just given to her on the silver platter didn't earn it she don't work hard this gaslighting crap makes me angry seriously
Yeah it must be privilege, couldn’t be that she’s a great player
@Giganticonion and I know that's what I was saying but the records speak for themselves as a rookie mind you with her getting beat up all season long hated by ESPN clowns and it continues to this day unfortunately and she just won athlete of the year female athlete of the year The gold CC you got my support
It will go down just fine. People can say what they want. Doesn't matter.
Well deserved..lets cut the crap..she's the hottest ticket in town right now..and BTW I am not white
Just so sad the racism in so deep in a woman’s sport. I never would have guessed it but we see it completely.
Sorry BD, could care less about JuJu and Paige; don't watch them and not interested.
Same. Only watch Caitlin. Like I only watched Tiger.
91 years old, but your not asian so i forgive you.
Oh boy. Chap stick sales will be going through the roof for treating all the burned butts out there.😅😅😅😅😅
Don't you think it's time for Geno to retire? He is so full of crap, he can't see past home team and he has not adjusted with the times. I think women that have more opportunities will make other choices.
Is Swoopes still crying. Lol
And she didn’t make the Olympic team or MVP. Disgrace on WNBA
did a dude get 4 votes?
People do realize that Paige is older than CC. Juju is better than both of them. CC is overrated
Juju is trash
STOP MAKING STUPID STATEMENTS , CLARK IS GENERATIONAL , THEY ARE NOT , WHEN THEY BREAK 62 RECORDS IN THEIR FIRST ROOKIE SEASON , TALK THEN, THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN ,EVEN THE DOG ON THE STREET KNOWS IT, YOUR ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION BUT IF YOU WANT TO DREAM, GO TO BED, NO BASKETBALL IQ
