@@Willard-l7t her off court persona is what makes her a Super Star. She gives her time to fans like no other athlete I’ve seen. A positive impact wherever she goes.
They never talk about the next year at the final four rounds. CC made AR Look stupid and scored over 40 points on her and took her team out of the playoffs. First year she played they beat South Carolina and put them out but lost to LSU. The next year they Scorched LSU but failed to beat South Carolina.
What is most impressive is CC took Iowa to back to back championship games, despite Iowa is a program that, not wasn't full of top 50 recruits or transfers unlike UConn & SC, but also Iowa had never been to a championship game in the history of the NCAA & had only been to 1 final four game way back in the mid 90s. When you factor in in the pedigree of the teams, its coach & its players, what CC did is much more impressive to me.
They should thank Caitlin and Iowa for knocking South Carolina out of the final four in 2023, South Carolina routed LSU earlier in the season. 2023 was the first time Iowa had been to the final four since 1993, which was the first and only other time they made the final four prior to 2023 and 2024. Caitlin was the only 5 star on the team, both Kate Martin and Monika Czinano joined the team as 3 stars, while LSU was a team of mostly transfers (four 5 stars and four 4 stars) and a new 3 time champion coach in Mulkey. So like amyk said what they did was much more impressive than what any other stacked team did. If you want to see what class looks like, watch Caitlin's post game after the 2023 loss then compare it to Angel's (victim) post game after losing to Iowa in 2024.
Caitlin is so professional and mature for 22 years old. A perfect role model. I’m sorry, but so many players are so childish towards her. Grow up, and step up your game. She works her butt off to be as good as she is. Y’all should be envying her talent. Childish little girls!
Can't stand racist haters and jemele is one of them. Talk about being envious of a young girl who just wants to play ball and avoid the bs and jemele is so reluctant to give cc her props just bcuz she's not black. You don't see this in the NBA at all! Shows you how immature women are. Great video rara always watch your honest takes 👍🏼
Thank you for calling out the haters and for giving us good quality reports and commentary on such great topics. Your unbiased honesty is refreshing ❤❤❤
Thank you for calling her out. She is the kind of person who will attempt to completely change, manipulate, and twist what someone has said in order to make it fit her story. I love your channel.
I love this show so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for being one of the rare black women who supports Caitlin Clark. Every time I go online and support CC right away I'm a white person using a black profile pic. That my profile is an AI pic and one person even responded by by telling me my comments would be more believable if I said “Y’all” instead of “You” Can “you” believe this? This is why I love you and podcasts like Adrienne Ross and W360 CJsofoolish. Plus I also love your laugh. ❤️❤️👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Thanks, sweetie, for being one of my favorite young voices!! I'm an Iowa Granny who has watched Caitlin for years, and of course she's taken the online crap, but does she complain? She just carries on and does her thing, which is being the absolute magnet of a superstar!!! Keep up the good work, kiddo!!🏀🔥🏀🔥❤❤💖
👋🏽 Hey Iowa Granny, I’m an Iowa Grandpa. Like you, I’ve been in CC’s and the Hawks for quite some time as well 👍🏽. And I’m also very impressed with her maturity as young as she is. Her teammates has done well too with the crap out there! I’m pretty new with Rara and I most say, she is a very nice and talented woman. Fresh outlook is very much needed!!! Like Granny said, keep up the good work KIDDO 🤟🏾
I agree, what about 50% of me wishes that Caitlin would just rip on her detractors like Donald Trump rips on his. But she's a nice Midwestern girl, so that'll never happen. She's everything that Cheryl Swopes and Diana taurasi wish that they could have been, but never will be.
Thanks! I just wanted to let you know I appreciate your channel so much. You’re doing great. Keep on going. I wait for your videos all the time. Keep on doing more.
Wow this means so much to me thank you for even watching & supporting. I truly appreciate your support & thanks. I will keep trying to give good content & be fair
Though we should all try to be conscious of our flaws & always try to improve, ultimately we have to realize that even the most virtuous people still have flaws & insecurities too. And once you are able to accept yourself flaws & all, you are better able to accept & forgive others for their imperfections & shortcomings too.
Anyone who is judging an athlete based on their God given color is racist by definition. Ask any of those people, “What has Caitlin done personally to make you hate her?” We all know that there is no answer to that question. You’re hating her because people like her. I want you to think about the stupidity it takes to hate someone for that reason. It must be a woman thing because not once when I was watching Michael Jordan play did I ever think, “I’d like him better if he was white.” Caitlin reminds me so much of him because of her dedication to the craft. He was a little more ornery than she is but very similar in their approach to the game. He was very tough and so is she, so players and the stupid among us are just going to have to adapt. First time hearing you but I’m going to subscribe, I wanna hear more of what you have to say, nice job young lady.
A lot of NBA players have never won college rings, so do they not get credit for their accomplishments? What about Steph? Klay? Durant? Westbrook? West? Chamberlain? Bird? Jokic?
Thank you for being in our court. I’m also a woman of color and it gets so tiring to hear that we are all racists and homophobes because we have the audacity to support a young lady that just wants to play a game that she loves and for some ungodly reason in a league that she wants to see grow. It has been awful to see all this hate towards this woman just because she is white. That’s the only reason. So the racists here are not us.
It's so interesting that they'll claim racism, yet THEY are the ones pushing that narrative. Thankful there's some reasonable, level-headed people out there who see through their deception. I hope CC just continues to ignore them and keeps getting better and better!
Great content!!!! I am a fan of CC as well. CC moves in silence, so she lives rent free in her hater's head. Angel is trying to be everywhere at all times to be relevant. CC is about class and doesn't try to be seen. Keep up the great work.
Be yourself and tell the truth. Most of the black podcasters, both male and female who like CC, are some of the most honest and courageous on TH-cam. I'm sure that the criticism from the black community must be overwhelming. Stay strong.

You had me at Caitlin Clark. Book Smart vs. Street Smart, big difference, and you're lucky if you have both. I had no idea there was such a thing as the W until Caitlin was drafted, and I don't love the game (I HATE the NBA, my love is for the Iowa Hawkeyes men and women), but give me a game with Caitlin Clark in it and I will cancel anything to watch it. You are honest, intelligent, you speak very well, and don't you ever let anyone put you down. I just hit the sub button.
First time ive accidentally found your podcast,i gotta tell you im loving your comments and that you don't shy away from the truth and facts,im trying to find most recent post but haven't been able to find or know how to get more posts from you,love your honesty,thanx
Thanks for being fair and for using your voice to speak Thanks for being brave and for trying to speak truth We desperately need just truth today and more interested in truth than being right
You’re so charming. You just came up on my screen a few days ago. Your bias is well founded. I appreciate your calls . Don’t let the haters get to you, think like CC . I’ve never seen someone calling basketball in the W get so many likes in such a short time. Kudos to you. Caitlin would love you …
People are just hateful. The CC haters will never give her credit regardless of what she does. As a black male I feel your pain. I’ve been called everything because I like CC. But Im older and my philosophy is when the name calling and insults start…you are winning. Reese fans are just as hateful and nasty as some Clark fans but it’s all crickets w them. I have not heard how racist the Sky fans are. They have basically run Izzy Harrison out of town for retweets regarding not just ROTY..but all awards winners. Oh yeah..Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, Tim Duncan, Steve Nash, Larry Bird, Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaq, Reggie Miller, Clyde Drexler…all NBA hall of fame players never won a college championship either. A few didn’t win a pro title. Finally, CC didn’t delete her social media because she doesn’t look at it. It’s managed by her mother who has the good sense to advise Caitlin to stay off social media. Roll with the punches. Stupid is as stupid does. Remember this always..there is a researched correlation between racism and intelligence. Racist people are usually on the low IQ side. You can’t fix stupid 😅
She is a great player though, what you said about Iowa is a lot like Steph Curry going to Davidson. And remember those programs did win. They just didn't win a national title.
It cannot be easy for you to take the stands that you do, but please know that you are so respected for your logic and reason on all things WNBA and CC.
As the W grows in attendance, viewers and just size through exoansion, these detractors will be drowned out and replacred. Juju and Paige will bring more fans and more voices that eventually the W will just be about hoop and not all these agendas. CC is a baller, class of the court, monster on it period.
I know it does not matter but! I am a 68-year-old white male. I just wanted to thank you for using common sense and keeping it real. I feel like to trust the content creator matters sometimes more than what you say. I know you get it, warms my heart!!!
I feel like we are on the same page when it comes to the truth. No matter the age, race or gender I just want people to be honest about things & hopefully fair
It amazes me that those like Jemele need to lie to get attention. But the truth will always prevail through those who speak it. I can't believe that some people are jealous of a 22 yr old, even older adults...shaking my head.
You are amazing!!! I love your straight forward style and your beauty! You have a wonderful outlook on life. I have followed Caitlyn for the last 3 years. I have never had someone speak of her like you do! I know there are others that sing her praises but I can tell God has blessed you with the loving heart that speaks from deep within! Keep doing what you are doing! Hugs!
I'm glad you feel that way about me & it’s because I love the game & I see that all she’s done is love the game too & yet people are mad because of how good she is
Props for calling out the fact that CC received/s a tremendous amount of hate from social media! CC just doesn't feed into it and use it to play victim!!! So sad to see these haters try and tear her down, especially when CC has been nothing but professional!
Geno doesn't like Caitlin Clark cause she beat his Uconn team and he hates it that a bunch of girls from Iowa would beat an elite program like UCONN lol!
Great content again.. congratulations Rara.. you're a wonderful person. I love both players CC and AR but their not in same level CC is way better than AR but both are great in their on right.. love u Rara❤
@@jinku77 💯 correct, they have all been wrong but Geno was wrong on SO many levels it's astonishing. Reality is he won all those titles in an era when there was very little parity and no one had as much talent as he did, any decent coach would have won with all that talent. Taurasi was at least smart enough to praise CC after she got humbled...but I still don't like her.
Suas análises são maravilhosas. acompanhar as notícias da wnba pelos canais americanos é uma tarefa árdua, porque há tanta informação falsa. agradeço por pessoas como você que estão comprometidas com a informação verdadeira e a análise precisa. obrigado. 🥰 Brazil
If you go through the NBA top 50 players all time way more did not win a college championship than did. Larry Bitd Lebron Kobe Tim Duncan Shaq Barkley David Robinson Khawi Leonard and i could go on. What do these girls say when someone brings that up??
There are a lot of "Old Heads", like Swoops, who could have been "Mama T", and invited her, to the "Cookout", but....... Clark needs someone, above reproach, to endorse her now, cause her output/production, has just made the "haters", move the goal post, again.
Prominent WNBA players who have spoken favorably about Clark? It's a short list. Napheesa Collier is one, and she's a big one; but Sophie Cunningham, who's white, is the only other one I can think of. There must be one or two others, but they don't come to mind.
You are a very intelligent young lady I will continue to watch your content. I think I have seen most of your content. Thank you for being you I agree with you almost 99% of the time. Other than being a Yankees fan I still appreciate you.
Congratulations to Angel Reese on getting a multimillion dollar contract for her own shoe. You are amazing young lady on and off the court. Like your Uncle Shaq said, "XX them haters" and prove them wrong on the court. Get that 💰Reese!
You would think they would pander to the majority in the fanbase cause that equals more money .. Caitlin is a walking BAG of money. It's comical actually how dumb the wnba media is. It's funny literally every player who's friends with Caitlin gets endorsements. I see Boston and hull everywhere now on commercials
I watched another video that said that Larry Bird never won a championship in college either. If that is the case, it’s kind of odd that Sue Bird didn’t push back a bit on the narrative that winning college championships is some huge deal once a player starts making their mark as a pro. It unintentionally invalidates her dad’s accomplishments… which is crazy. Even before I paid any attention to basketball, I knew Larry Bird’s name; he had that kind of impact. I don’t think Sue thought through the implications of moving this goal post in an attempt to diminish Caitlin. EDIT: I have been kindly informed that Sue Bird and Larry Bird are not related. It never occurred to me that with their shared surname and basketball talent, that they might not be related. I appreciate the commenters who were so nice about correcting my error. ❤
They're not related, but the point is the same. Lots of other all-time greats weren't on championship teams -- Pete Maravich, Charles Barkley, Steph Curry -- it's a long list.
@@mikewiseman-pb7vx I saw this error elsewhere, and accepted it as fact because it seemed to make sense to me. When I looked up Sue and Larry Bird after seeing your comment, I found an article where Sue admitted to pretending that Larry was her uncle when she was younger. Which was kind of a cute/funny story. Thanks so much for the correction.
@@Stenocommander I feel a little silly for making an assumption based on a last name and comments I read elsewhere, but it seemed to make sense to me with both of their basketball talent as well as the shared surname. Oops. But, like you said, even without the relationship with Larry Bird, I'm still surprised that Sue Bird didn't push back due to the number of NBA greats who had not won any college championships.
Clark played for a school that has never won a Women's national championship in basketball for a coach that also has never won. But they always want to compare her to Connecticut players who played for a coach and a school that has won 11 National Championships .
You know gay white 41 that lived super diverse. Ty you for representing some of my friends base.. like you are real my friends from hood to middle American and you represent that … you see the truth… you are person who was able to jump above the narrative and see where American is… bravo welcome to the 50-40-90 club😉
You make good content and you keep getting better. Your point about CC taking a lot of heat and hate and how she just took it and didn’t let them get to her and grew thicker skin was on point and a good example for anyone
I just love watching Caitlyn Clark play and how she works with her team mates. Don't have time to listen to those who don't like this record setting player.
OK. MAYBE I've had a few beers, but I am one minute and 28 seconds into this video, and I'm going to subscribe. You seem like a wonderful, intelligent young lady, and I'm looking forward to what you have to say.
Winning a ring has nothing to do with one’s prowess on the court. Everyone on the team gets a ring so that would make those that never play just has good as the starters same skill level same percentage for shooting et centra, even the trainers get a ring they don’t even play basketball only conceded players use this has a mark of excellence. It is a mark has to team play but never individual play. Being voted as collegiate player of the year is way more affirmative has to the skill of the player. Has been players just pick random marks. that benefits them. So if you don’t win the championship ring does that mean you can’t be MVP?
Absolutely! I keep on saying this! Some of the greats don't have a ring; that does nothing to diminish their individual skill. Robert Horry won 7 rings in the NBA; he averaged 7.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game over his career. Caitlin took a mediocre Iowa team, from a school that hadn't been in the Final Four since 1994, to two consecutive championship games, beating UConn, South Carolina, and LSU along the way -- then couldn't drag them through the last 20 minutes. Carrying a team on your back is hard work! In her four years at UConn, Stewie played with 12 people who were chosen in the first round of the W draft, including Napheesa; Caitlin played with 1 who was chosen in the second round -- #17 -- Kate Martin. Teams win championships; individuals don't.
Moving the goalpost on, Clark would matter except for one thing, she’s the one person in the universe that pays no attention to other people are saying about her world. That’s in control of her world she is. And as far as the collective, WNBA, the truth is Clark is more in control of it as anyone.
UCONN and South Carolina will be in the Final 4 in 2025 pretty much guarantee it. They by far have the best total talent on their teams. Southern Cal has 3 top players on their team. These teams are loaded with 5 Star players. Some of them will be cheerleaders on the sidelines and rarely play except in blowouts. That is what Iowa and most every team have to deal with. You go Iowa because you are from Iowa or a neighboring state. Typically you are a 3 star player if that. Geno did not want her and CC chose Iowa over Notre Dame. ND she probably could have won a championship there. In WCBB, 3 star athletes do not beat a team of 5 star athletes. In MCBB it happens because of the one and done rule. A team full of 3 star Seniors often beat a team full of 5 star Freshmen and Sophomore. See Duke and Kentucky in the tournament.
@@TheRaraReport totally agree I don't think it will improve if they don't start cleaning house but Adam silver is he the one that oversees the commissioner? Like how has he sat back and done nothing they are obviously in this together . That's why when I saw that come out that the investors are upset that wnba lost 40 million again this year hopefully the right people start digging into this deep and do a clean sweep
Majority of players in the WNBA and in college never won a championship either......so why should it make any difference when it comes to individual achievements!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm thinking that maybe Michael Jordan didn't win a championship in his first year. I'm thinking that maybe Kobe Bryant didn't win a championship in his first year....
DEI Smelly Jemele. CC wanted to go to UCONN. Geno took Paige Bueckers. He could have had both. I really thought Breanna Stewart was this great player. I did not watch her at UCONN even though ESPN constantly did stories on her. I finally got to see her this year. She is not that good. Napheesa Collier is much better. I also do not see A'ja Wilson being that good. She is Option 1,2,3 and 4 for the Aces. Everyone even the coached bows before her. This league is just not that good.
@@Willard-l7t They would never have done it, because neither is an elite passer. A'ja had 191 assists in college, over four years; Stewart had 426. Clark had 1,144. She helps her teammates excel through her passes. Wilson and Stewart are one-trick ponies. They score points.
As a rookie took her team from last place to just by luck and help from the officials, barley lost to last year championship team with 4 olimpic players. Come on .I think next year she will destroy her haters .unless they find a way to take her out . But

@@Willard-l7t her off court persona is what makes her a Super Star. She gives her time to fans like no other athlete I’ve seen. A positive impact wherever she goes.

They never talk about the next year at the final four rounds. CC made AR Look stupid and scored over 40 points on her and took her team out of the playoffs. First year she played they beat South Carolina and put them out but lost to LSU. The next year they Scorched LSU but failed to beat South Carolina.
Yes, Caitlin still beat those two championship teams

Thanks for being brave and for trying to speak truth
We desperately need just truth today and more interested in truth than being right
Appreciate you watching & I will keep trying to be fair. Thanks for the support!
You are so on point with all your vids! Appreciate u telling 💯 truth!
Thank you for giving your perspectives, and backing them up with facts.
It's great that the way CC's class act conduct has inspired you. As my mother taught me, you always have to "rise above it". ✌️✌️✌️
As always you're on point 💯..
I subscribed so fast when she mentioned that she is a Clark fan😂😂😂😂
Haha I really love her game but how she’s handled herself this season made me like her as a person
LeBron James and Kobe Bryant didn't go to college and I'd say they are both pretty damn great❤❤❤ rip Kobe😢
Imagine playing against this "no college championship" team... Kobe, LaBron, T-Mac, KG, and Dwight Howard. 🤯
✊🏽 stay motivated
You’re so charming. You just came up on my screen a few days ago. Your bias is well founded. I appreciate your calls . Don’t let the haters get to you, think like CC . I’ve never seen someone calling basketball in the W get so many likes in such a short time. Kudos to you. Caitlin would love you …
Thank you for supporting Clark. You’re smart for telling the truth and unbiased.
People are just hateful. The CC haters will never give her credit regardless of what she does. As a black male I feel your pain. I’ve been called everything because I like CC. But Im older and my philosophy is when the name calling and insults start…you are winning. Reese fans are just as hateful and nasty as some Clark fans but it’s all crickets w them. I have not heard how racist the Sky fans are. They have basically run Izzy Harrison out of town for retweets regarding not just ROTY..but all awards winners. Oh yeah..Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, Tim Duncan, Steve Nash, Larry Bird, Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaq, Reggie Miller, Clyde Drexler…all NBA hall of fame players never won a college championship either. A few didn’t win a pro title. Finally, CC didn’t delete her social media because she doesn’t look at it. It’s managed by her mother who has the good sense to advise Caitlin to stay off social media. Roll with the punches. Stupid is as stupid does. Remember this always..there is a researched correlation between racism and intelligence. Racist people are usually on the low IQ side. You can’t fix stupid 😅
Right on all counts.
Love ur content be real that’s all u have to be I love how u are I enjoy ur content keep up the good work
She is a great player though, what you said about Iowa is a lot like Steph Curry going to Davidson. And remember those programs did win. They just didn't win a national title.
It cannot be easy for you to take the stands that you do, but please know that you are so respected for your logic and reason on all things WNBA and CC.
As the W grows in attendance, viewers and just size through exoansion, these detractors will be drowned out and replacred. Juju and Paige will bring more fans and more voices that eventually the W will just be about hoop and not all these agendas. CC is a baller, class of the court, monster on it period.
I know it does not matter but! I am a 68-year-old white male. I just wanted to thank you for using common sense and keeping it real. I feel like to trust the content creator matters sometimes more than what you say. I know you get it, warms my heart!!!
I feel like we are on the same page when it comes to the truth. No matter the age, race or gender I just want people to be honest about things & hopefully fair
It amazes me that those like Jemele need to lie to get attention. But the truth will always prevail through those who speak it. I can't believe that some people are jealous of a 22 yr old, even older adults...shaking my head.
Yes, " truth will prevail through those who speak it." Now it falls to you to speak it! Thanks!
@@Nancy-uj8dqit will take all of us
You are amazing!!! I love your straight forward style and your beauty! You have a wonderful outlook on life.
I have followed Caitlyn for the last 3 years. I have never had someone speak of her like you do! I know there are others that sing her praises but I can tell God has blessed you with the loving heart that speaks from deep within! Keep doing what you are doing! Hugs!
I'm glad you feel that way about me & it’s because I love the game & I see that all she’s done is love the game too & yet people are mad because of how good she is
I follow people who was integrity , skills , values no matter what color they are , that’s I relevant!!
Props for calling out the fact that CC received/s a tremendous amount of hate from social media! CC just doesn't feed into it and use it to play victim!!! So sad to see these haters try and tear her down, especially when CC has been nothing but professional!
Geno doesn't like Caitlin Clark cause she beat his Uconn team and he hates it that a bunch of girls from Iowa would beat an elite program like UCONN lol!
Great content again.. congratulations Rara.. you're a wonderful person. I love both players CC and AR but their not in same level CC is way better than AR but both are great in their on right.. love u Rara❤
Sue Bird is another UConn sisterhood member. She will stand with whatever another UConn sister says
Yep, she's just sneakier, she thinks as long as she sprinkles in a compliment she can say whatever she wants.
@@Willard-l7t Exactly, that way she keeps it neutral, and I appreciate that but let's be honest, this UConn sisterhood doesn't like CC
@@jinku77 💯 correct, they have all been wrong but Geno was wrong on SO many levels it's astonishing. Reality is he won all those titles in an era when there was very little parity and no one had as much talent as he did, any decent coach would have won with all that talent. Taurasi was at least smart enough to praise CC after she got humbled...but I still don't like her.
Suas análises são maravilhosas. acompanhar as notícias da wnba pelos canais americanos é uma tarefa árdua, porque há tanta informação falsa. agradeço por pessoas como você que estão comprometidas com a informação verdadeira e a análise precisa. obrigado. 🥰 Brazil
Thanks for being an American and supporting another American cause she’s talented and seems to be a decent person
This whole video is FACTS. Subscription added.
Caitlin doesn’t use her social media when she’s playing.
If you go through the NBA top 50 players all time way more did not win a college championship than did. Larry Bitd Lebron Kobe Tim Duncan Shaq Barkley David Robinson Khawi Leonard and i could go on. What do these girls say when someone brings that up??
saw u on twiter, just found ur channel, i'm a subscriber now, great content keep it going
Love your videos Rara!! Can't stand Jemele Hill!!
There are a lot of "Old Heads", like Swoops, who could have been "Mama T", and invited her, to the "Cookout", but....... Clark needs someone, above reproach, to endorse her now, cause her output/production, has just made the "haters", move the goal post, again.
Prominent WNBA players who have spoken favorably about Clark? It's a short list. Napheesa Collier is one, and she's a big one; but Sophie Cunningham, who's white, is the only other one I can think of. There must be one or two others, but they don't come to mind.
CC isn't competing with anyone. She just wants to play well, support her team mates, and enjoying the game. She's simply the best ❤❤❤❤❤
Funny, when Clark moves goalposts, its to play in front of 56k people
You are a very intelligent young lady I will continue to watch your content. I think I have seen most of your content. Thank you for being you I agree with you almost 99% of the time. Other than being a Yankees fan I still appreciate you.
Love your podcast!
The famous "ring gesture" included AR saying Hey, Hoe.
Sad to be "famous" for that.
Chicago drafted two Rings in the first round,and how did that work this past season? Not hatin’ on either of those players,just throwing it out there.
You have a new fan keep doing your thing!!
Congratulations to Angel Reese on getting a multimillion dollar contract for her own shoe. You are amazing young lady on and off the court. Like your Uncle Shaq said, "XX them haters" and prove them wrong on the court. Get that 💰Reese!
You would think they would pander to the majority in the fanbase cause that equals more money .. Caitlin is a walking BAG of money. It's comical actually how dumb the wnba media is. It's funny literally every player who's friends with Caitlin gets endorsements. I see Boston and hull everywhere now on commercials
I saw Kate Martin on an Aflac commercial recently too.
I watched another video that said that Larry Bird never won a championship in college either. If that is the case, it’s kind of odd that Sue Bird didn’t push back a bit on the narrative that winning college championships is some huge deal once a player starts making their mark as a pro. It unintentionally invalidates her dad’s accomplishments… which is crazy. Even before I paid any attention to basketball, I knew Larry Bird’s name; he had that kind of impact. I don’t think Sue thought through the implications of moving this goal post in an attempt to diminish Caitlin.
EDIT: I have been kindly informed that Sue Bird and Larry Bird are not related. It never occurred to me that with their shared surname and basketball talent, that they might not be related. I appreciate the commenters who were so nice about correcting my error. ❤
Sue Bird is not related to Larry Bird.
They're not related, but the point is the same. Lots of other all-time greats weren't on championship teams -- Pete Maravich, Charles Barkley, Steph Curry -- it's a long list.
@@mikewiseman-pb7vx I saw this error elsewhere, and accepted it as fact because it seemed to make sense to me. When I looked up Sue and Larry Bird after seeing your comment, I found an article where Sue admitted to pretending that Larry was her uncle when she was younger. Which was kind of a cute/funny story. Thanks so much for the correction.
@@Stenocommander I feel a little silly for making an assumption based on a last name and comments I read elsewhere, but it seemed to make sense to me with both of their basketball talent as well as the shared surname. Oops.
But, like you said, even without the relationship with Larry Bird, I'm still surprised that Sue Bird didn't push back due to the number of NBA greats who had not won any college championships.
Clark played for a school that has never won a Women's national championship in basketball for a coach that also has never won. But they always want to compare her to Connecticut players who played for a coach and a school that has won 11 National Championships .
You know gay white 41 that lived super diverse. Ty you for representing some of my friends base.. like you are real my friends from hood to middle American and you represent that … you see the truth… you are person who was able to jump above the narrative and see where American is… bravo welcome to the 50-40-90 club😉
You make good content and you keep getting better. Your point about CC taking a lot of heat and hate and how she just took it and didn’t let them get to her and grew thicker skin was on point and a good example for anyone
I just love watching Caitlyn Clark play and how she works with her team mates. Don't have time to listen to those who don't like this record setting player.
OK. MAYBE I've had a few beers, but I am one minute and 28 seconds into this video, and I'm going to subscribe. You seem like a wonderful, intelligent young lady, and I'm looking forward to what you have to say.
Winning a ring has nothing to do with one’s prowess on the court. Everyone on the team gets a ring so that would make those that never play just has good as the starters same skill level same percentage for shooting et centra, even the trainers get a ring they don’t even play basketball only conceded players use this has a mark of excellence. It is a mark has to team play but never individual play. Being voted as collegiate player of the year is way more affirmative has to the skill of the player. Has been players just pick random marks. that benefits them. So if you don’t win the championship ring does that mean you can’t be MVP?
Thank you for thumbs up
Absolutely! I keep on saying this! Some of the greats don't have a ring; that does nothing to diminish their individual skill. Robert Horry won 7 rings in the NBA; he averaged 7.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game over his career. Caitlin took a mediocre Iowa team, from a school that hadn't been in the Final Four since 1994, to two consecutive championship games, beating UConn, South Carolina, and LSU along the way -- then couldn't drag them through the last 20 minutes. Carrying a team on your back is hard work! In her four years at UConn, Stewie played with 12 people who were chosen in the first round of the W draft, including Napheesa; Caitlin played with 1 who was chosen in the second round -- #17 -- Kate Martin. Teams win championships; individuals don't.
Being a Caitlin Clark fan is tough
You is pretty girl keep going, team CC let's go. 😊
Moving the goalpost on, Clark would matter except for one thing, she’s the one person in the universe that pays no attention to other people are saying about her world. That’s in control of her world she is. And as far as the collective, WNBA, the truth is Clark is more in control of it as anyone.
UCONN and South Carolina will be in the Final 4 in 2025 pretty much guarantee it. They by far have the best total talent on their teams. Southern Cal has 3 top players on their team. These teams are loaded with 5 Star players. Some of them will be cheerleaders on the sidelines and rarely play except in blowouts. That is what Iowa and most every team have to deal with. You go Iowa because you are from Iowa or a neighboring state. Typically you are a 3 star player if that. Geno did not want her and CC chose Iowa over Notre Dame. ND she probably could have won a championship there. In WCBB, 3 star athletes do not beat a team of 5 star athletes. In MCBB it happens because of the one and done rule. A team full of 3 star Seniors often beat a team full of 5 star Freshmen and Sophomore. See Duke and Kentucky in the tournament.
Calipari is gone now, Pope is not following in his footsteps thank God, Duke continues with the one and done plan.
Real talk refreshing , Larry bird never got a college championship either . Agree the league needs to clean house starting with that commissioner
I really believe that they have to remove some bad apples in order to grow & stop saying they’re inclusive but actually act exclusive
@@TheRaraReport totally agree I don't think it will improve if they don't start cleaning house but Adam silver is he the one that oversees the commissioner? Like how has he sat back and done nothing they are obviously in this together . That's why when I saw that come out that the investors are upset that wnba lost 40 million again this year hopefully the right people start digging into this deep and do a clean sweep
The reason they have all this chaos is because there is no leadership and rules aren't enforced .
You are awesome. Keep telling it like it is
Majority of players in the WNBA and in college never won a championship either......so why should it make any difference when it comes to individual achievements!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm thinking that maybe Michael Jordan didn't win a championship in his first year. I'm thinking that maybe Kobe Bryant didn't win a championship in his first year....
Or Wilt Chamberlain, or Steph Curry, or ... It's a long list. I guess these players weren't great, by some people's standards.
She plays the race card WAY too much.
DEI Smelly Jemele. CC wanted to go to UCONN. Geno took Paige Bueckers. He could have had both. I really thought Breanna Stewart was this great player. I did not watch her at UCONN even though ESPN constantly did stories on her. I finally got to see her this year. She is not that good. Napheesa Collier is much better. I also do not see A'ja Wilson being that good. She is Option 1,2,3 and 4 for the Aces. Everyone even the coached bows before her. This league is just not that good.
Breanna Stewart or Aja would have been lucky to have gotten either of those Iowa teams to the Elite 8 without Caitlin on the team.
@@Willard-l7t They would never have done it, because neither is an elite passer. A'ja had 191 assists in college, over four years; Stewart had 426. Clark had 1,144. She helps her teammates excel through her passes. Wilson and Stewart are one-trick ponies. They score points.
@@Stenocommander I agree they are both overrated and both played on stacked teams, nobody has the all around game that Caitlin has.
CC isn't just a star on court. She's a star on or off the court❤❤
As a rookie took her team from last place to just by luck and help from the officials, barley lost to last year championship team with 4 olimpic players. Come on .I think next year she will destroy her haters .unless they find a way to take her out . But
