She looks different (not color wise, either) in how she approaches the game, and her passing is stupid good, especially for a rookie. Best passer in the league by far, if not ever, already. Yes, the TO's are a thing but they are coming down, assists are up and that will only get better. EVERY star rookie gets better, period. She's torching the league the last 10-12 games and they can't do a damn thing about it. The team has bought into letting CC be the general on the court and Mitchell and Boston, etc. are thriving. Temi coming back...another big who can flat out run the floor will really push teams to have to go a bit smaller or simply not crash the offensive boards at all and just get back on defense. Now if they can just hold teams to under 85 points or so... :)
The click bait shows that the racist is trying to break Caitlin's fingers! I hope the racist was arrested for assault! Who am I kidding? The racist will be given an metal from cameltoe.
people root for Clark not only for her skills, but because Taurus's comments, and other players' hateful behavior, makes Clark an underdog. people love that
I thought the same thing. The “adjustment period” was her team adjusting to Caitlin’s World. Granted, no one is perfect (and she’s made some mistakes), but if you lived in a cave for years and you watched the WNBA for the first time, you would think she was a veteran player, and NOT a rookie athlete.
The biggest issue I have. Is that Caitlin Clark is playing against entitled black lesbian players? Not for the most part. I don't care what your sexuality is, but that doesn't give you special privilege. You're still playing basketball. It's not pro wrestling. Even pro wrestling is an oriel. Very seldom is their injuries. It's all fake, this is not fake? She's actually getting injured last week. And they condone it saying she's going up against real women. Real women don't try and beat the other woman to death. And that's exactly what they're trying to do
It didn't take 10 games for Clark to get comfortable in the WNBA. It took 10 games for her teammates to learn how to handle real passes. Half her turnovers were perfect passes that were handled terribly.
Excellent point... someone should do a video to make this point. It guess it was more obvious watching her play in college (when she would have the highest score of the game and Iowa still lost).
Angel Reese played just as many games right after college....Jackie Robinson dealt with a hatred Caitlin can't begin to imagine. You people should quit with your politicking
Im not fond of her in general or other statements, but her stating a phenom might be humbled at the pro level isnt an insulting statement. Where the issue was the lack of complimentry phrasing and respect for her skills. It would have been different if shdve said shrs incredible and well see if her skills translate at this level.
nothing wrong with Diana Taurasi, she's a decent lady. There is mutual respect between the 2. Watch the highlights of her and Clark laughing about the fight with Cloud.
I thought it was just that they all played like Girls . Lilly doesn’t because the Guys taught her how to play hard from year one. Her Pause for the Olympics let her help the team catch up as best they can … It’s really paying off. Growing the Team Fanbase better than any other team ….
@@anthonyodonnell9117 but there wasn't any lime light because very few knew there was a WNBA that was worth watching. These haters have to hate. Catlin just laughs at them.
Caitlin is amazing! I don’t normally watch basketball because I found it boring, however since Caitlin Clark, it’s hard to tear myself away watching Caitlin phenomenal plays.
You were right before. It is boring. Why do they play in slow motion? Where's the defense, and why does the tongue girl commit so many uncalled traveling violations?
I’m pretty sure she’s not losing sleep over CC. DT has won championships in every league she’s been in. DT is the all time leading scorer in a league where less games were played in a season
I don't particularly appreciate comparing anyone to others. With that said I cannot help but get a Bird vibe from Catlin. She is a Zen master on the court. She knows where everyone is at any given point. Like Bird, Catlin illustrates that she does not care who makes the basket. She is a team player making the whole team embrace and fulfil their potential. Watch her or her record. Catlin is leading more than rookies in assists and rebounds. Points alone are amazing, but helping her team excel is next level. Please do not diminish the rest of the Fever. They are good players. With Catlin they are great. Having a team member knowing that this is a TEAM sport is amazing. Catlin is the value-added component that Indiana Basketball has needed for a long time. Thank you, Catlin!
Ms. Clark is the best role model for young women….. she isn’t inked up , she doesn’t pretend to be ‘pops’, she doesn’t speak I’ll of anyone… she just plays the game with perfection!! God bless her!🙏🏼❤️
Whats wrong with ink? Just cause someone has ink that makes them less of a person? Ink doesn't say who a person is, it states what they like. From crosses to roses to horror movies and anime. And while you can have your opinion your predisposed Judgement of people with ink us just one more person judging that doesn't have the right. (Insert Tupac song) Only God can judge me.
Saying someone with tattoos would be any less of a role model, father/mother , employee , boss etc is ignorant at best. It's art .... art on a wall , table etc is no different than on a body.
Well, to put it in the words of DT: it's seems that she's transitioning form University back to Kindergarden while Caitlin Clark is skyrocketing brilliant 🚀😅
Old guy that was a good friend of mine, until he passed away, used to say, "those that's got it can use it, and those that ain't, can't! Caitlyn''s got it!
I’m honestly thinking the reason why they hate her is that she’s great, white, and straight. She doesn’t check any box for them and it’s making them angry.
Why have people got to take it always the wrong way I don’t think it has anything to her being white or whatever the fact of competition some people like this player some people like that player, but you have to take it to a racist bunch of bull crap, which is uncalled for a lot of people hate Michael Jordan. A lot of people hate LeBron James. A lot of people don’t like the joker. but you just can’t refuse the chance to separate the people of America bless your heart. Should be check your heart.

@@noahlee9990 well usually the categori of Concrete alphabet Dykes are allways very angry for some reason, and sadly the league have quite a few of those
As a (closer to 70 y.o New Zealander ) I'm a lifelong rugby fan, and l will always love that game. However, for pure athletic ability and achievement Caitlin is hardcore WAYYYYY up their with two New Zealand female athletic legends that l rate as also very super special athletes at home and in the international community for their amazing skill and prowess in each of their respective fields of rugby and kayaking, Lisa Carrington and Portia Woodman. Those of you who know of these other two amazing people will understand why l rate them as special too (My apologies to ALL the other female athletes here in New Zealand... l privately acknowledged your existence, too 🙏 Clearly, internal personal politics played part in CCs omission from the last US women's Olympic team. However, moving forward... only God Almighty will be responsible if she isn't chosen to represent the US in future Olympics. God Bless and thank you, Caitlin.
Caitlin is amazing. i Never watched the WNBA... until now. I love it...she has next level skills and visions and she's not greedy...look at all those assists... wow
If CC listened to Taurasi mentally she would have taken her game slowly and not be as good exactly what Taurasi wanted but CC did her own thing and is blowing Taurasi's comments away.
CC has the most INCREDIBLE vision! Give her ONE INCH and she WILL score, assist and/or rebound on you! She knows and sees the whole court ALL THE TIME!
Ever notice how slow the WNBA games were before Caitlin got there. I mean players are standing still or can't keep up with her speed. Players like Griner can't just hangout under the basket anymore.
Women's team would not have had to win a nail biter to get Olympic Gold with Catlin on the team. Keeping her off the team almost cost US gold and end a very long win streak.
Mercury has been playing the same game they've always played, which is having Griner stand near the basket and keep feeding him the ball. This strategy has worked up until CC entered the league. Those days of feeding Griner the ball to make their baskets are over!!
It's only a tiny subset of the league that she can't compete against. Using your logic, most players should retire and we'd be left with 2 teams. The level in the WNBA isn't so high that it's out of reach for 40 year old. But things are changing with all the excitement around CC, and we can expect young blood to raise the bar in the coming decade, but it's not there yet. The game in the league hasn't been revolutionized in a single season, let's stay a bit real.
No she is not. Look up "Player Efficiency Rating" "PER strives to measure a player's per-minute performance, while adjusting for pace. A league-average PER is always 15.00, which permits comparisons of player performance across seasons. PER takes into account positive results, including field goals, free throws, 3-pointers, assists, rebounds, blocks and steals and negative results, including missed shots, turnovers and personal fouls. The formula adds positive stats and subtracts negative ones through a statistical point value system. The rating for each player is then adjusted to a per-minute basis so that, for example, substitutes can be compared with starters in playing time debates. It is also adjusted for the team's pace. In the end, one number sums up the players' statistical accomplishments for that season. " All-time great season 35.0+ Runaway MVP candidate 30.0-35.0 Strong MVP candidate 27.5-30.0 Weak MVP candidate 25.0-27.5 Definite All-Star 22.5-25.0 Borderline All-Star 20.0-22.5 In the last 10 years, 7 of the MVP awards went to the player with the highest PER. In the last 10 years, 8 of the MVP awards went to the player with the highest PER. Here's this year's stats . 1 A'ja Wilson 34.94 2 Napheesa Collier 25.7 3 Breanna Stewart 24.5 4 Jonquel Jones 21.0 5 Caitlin Clark 20.9 6 Nneka Ogwumike 20.9 7 Brittney Griner 20.8 8 Dearica Hamby 20.7 9 Aliyah Boston 20.2 10 Alyssa Thomas 20.0 11 Arike Ogunbowale 19.4 12 Angel Reese 19.2 13 Ezi Magbegor 18.8 14 Tina Charles 18.6 15 Sabrina Ionescu 17.4 We'll see CC in the running .... but I just can't see them going with CC (20.9) when the player with the highest PER on history A'ja Wilson (34,95) (Men's or Women's) .... not to mention ... CC breaking the assist (passing ball to teammate who scores) record by 5% kinda pales next to breaking the turnover record (errant pass to the opposing team) by 55% www.basketball-reference.com/wnba/leaders/per_yearly.html
Sorry, never wants the right to trash talk individuals. Trash talk the team, not just individual. Besides, she clearly has not studying Caitlyn well because most of us know that Caitlyn feeds off of negativity and uses it to drive her harder.
Almost sounds like Taurasi is the one learning from the rookie. Or maybe schooled? It shows who is the real 'girl, woman? It is called just keep your mouth shut.
It wasn't what she said, it was the way she was licking her chops with anticipation of Clark getting smacked upside the head by "reality" that did it...and the arrogant dumba** then says the same thing about the fans (going from kindergarten...). It obviously never enters her mind to look at her own behavior when others object to it. Ugh. She probably hasn't looked, either, at the fact her big deal 6th gold medal was unearned by her play in the Olympic Games.
Diana probably realizes at this point there is a new sheriff in town. That's what Magic said happened at a certain point when Michael Jordan came into the league. CC has already started transforming the WNBA. Barring injury she might end up being the GOAT.
I think by being denied her rightful spot on the Olympic team she has become even more well-known. I didn’t follow the WNBA and hadn’t even heard of her before all this happened. Now I loving watching footage of her play and would love to see her in person. She’s teaching girls what’s possible, like when kids wanted to be “like Mike” and how Simone Biles has raised the bar in gymnastics’ athleticism.
When the NFL drafts a 1st round Quarterback, they slowly introduce theminto high pressure situations. Not going to the Olypics was the bast thing that every happened to CC ... look at here stats before and after the Olympics ... "night and day" doesn't begin to describe it. An yes,if the selection had happened later in the season,she would have made the team ... not to mentioned, she was drained fro all the press,and dealing with social media,
WNBA for years never got noticed because of lack of interest. This young lady shows up and now these women are being petty because she brought attention after what she has done.
What the funniest part is no one knew this beak face brod before Catlin Clark stepped up and got everyone's interest in the WNBA. We were lucky enough to have her on the Iowa Hawkeye's team. GO CATLIN, MAKE THESE HATERS MORE IRRELEVANT THEN THEY WERE BEFORE YOU HELPED THEM BECOME KNOWN.
Taurasi, who my daughters and i blindly put our allegiance behind as a huskie, is apparently no different than the rest of the jealous bigots.... shame!
Notice how she just plays basketball and doesn't get involved in politics or the pride movement, or trash talking other players, just plays basketball!
If only DT had said something like, “l think CC is a very exciting talent and l’m looking forward to playing her.” But noooo, being nice, or even neutral, about a new player that is prone to steal the spotlight from the old guard, was just too much!
⚡CC-22=F-22 RAPTOR FIGHTER JET ⚡ SHE IS ⚡ THE LASER SPECTACLE⚡ She doesn't just play basketball... 🔥 SHE IS BASKETBALL 🔥 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀 The WNBA never called my attention much before, It was always NBA. but NOW...WOW ❗ ... And I just can't get enough ❗
Kaitlyn is unstoppable but all these other women talking shit are just jealous because they’re not as talented as she is or consistently talented as she is. It’s pretty clear. Kaitlyn works her ass off to remain phenomenal basketball player.
She is only an underdog because of all the jealousy makes her out to be. Shes much better in many ways than the whole LOT OF THEM, that means all them. Shes in their face and there isnt a damn thing they can do about it, YOU GO GIRLFRIEND !!🎉❤😊!!
Caitlin Clark, should be the WNBA Logo. Put on every Jersey. Like Jerry West. She’s that good. A game changer. Has put together, one of the best rookie season’s of all time. Never mind rookie of the year honers. She qualifies for league MVP.
Someone needs to do a few videos of all the BAD CALLS the official refs have made this season, not only against CC, which seems to be intentional bad calls and 'non-calls', but they need to have light put on them so they are held to account for being lame first of all, but also being inept at their jobs. No one else holding such a high level job in the private sector, would hold their jobs after time and time again, performing sub standardly. Time they are called out and we have to show the video evidence. That should also show the agenda and contempt most have for Caitlin too.
🏀Your only as good as in great point guard play or as I say floor general she is the Magic Johnson of this generation! Magic in the NBA finals with a injured Kareem-Abdul Jabbar played center scored 42 points,snared 15 rebounds in game 6 to win the NBA Championship in his rookie year and series MVP!🏆Not to mention Winning 5 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS to Birds 3 tiltes!🏀
Larry Joe Bird with all respect,Bird himself said that Magic was the best back then, as two of the fiercest competitors to ever play the pro game eventually after playing they became the best of friends🏀⛹️♂️🤾🏿♂️
@@scottgarlow3377 I didn’t say she was the best, I said she was the Larry Bird… That is to say no one can match her from the perimeter. She plays the inside with wit and personality, she inspires the play of those around her and she is hated by all the jealous ho’s that can’t match her. Much like Bird.
CC is just on a different level than the rest of the league. Nice thing she is humble and isn't full of herself. She is a class act.
She looks different (not color wise, either) in how she approaches the game, and her passing is stupid good, especially for a rookie. Best passer in the league by far, if not ever, already. Yes, the TO's are a thing but they are coming down, assists are up and that will only get better. EVERY star rookie gets better, period. She's torching the league the last 10-12 games and they can't do a damn thing about it. The team has bought into letting CC be the general on the court and Mitchell and Boston, etc. are thriving. Temi coming back...another big who can flat out run the floor will really push teams to have to go a bit smaller or simply not crash the offensive boards at all and just get back on defense. Now if they can just hold teams to under 85 points or so... :)

Three times humiliated.😆👍🏾
DT is an angry lesbian
Aren't all lesbians angry
@@noahlee9990 well usually the categori of Concrete alphabet Dykes are allways very angry for some reason, and sadly the league have quite a few of those
The whole leagues full of em.

Statistically speaking, yeah, they are angry. Extremely high domestic abuse numbers in lesbian relationships.
What a class act, everyone cheap shots her and she just keeps going, love this girl hope she keeps playing like this
As a (closer to 70 y.o New Zealander ) I'm a lifelong rugby fan, and l will always love that game.
However, for pure athletic ability and achievement Caitlin is hardcore WAYYYYY up their with two New Zealand female athletic legends that l rate as also very super special athletes at home and in the international community for their amazing skill and prowess in each of their respective fields of rugby and kayaking, Lisa Carrington and Portia Woodman.
Those of you who know of these other two amazing people will understand why l rate them as special too
(My apologies to ALL the other female athletes here in New Zealand... l privately acknowledged your existence, too 🙏
Clearly, internal personal politics played part in CCs omission from the last US women's Olympic team. However, moving forward... only God Almighty will be responsible if she isn't chosen to represent the US in future Olympics.
God Bless and thank you, Caitlin.
Caitlin is amazing. i Never watched the WNBA... until now. I love it...she has next level skills and visions and she's not greedy...look at all those assists... wow
If CC listened to Taurasi mentally she would have taken her game slowly and not be as good exactly what Taurasi wanted but CC did her own thing and is blowing Taurasi's comments away.
Until today, I had never heard of DianaTaurasi or anyone else in women’s basketball except for Caitlin.
It seems the Mercury fans also recognized CC s ability. They cheered louder for her than for their own team.
CC has the most INCREDIBLE vision! Give her ONE INCH and she WILL score, assist and/or rebound on you! She knows and sees the whole court ALL THE TIME!
Ever notice how slow the WNBA games were before Caitlin got there. I mean players are standing still or can't keep up with her speed. Players like Griner can't just hangout under the basket anymore.
Word on the street was DT’s home fans gave Caitlin a standing ovation, now that’s the ultimate disrespect a player could have.
Look Caitlin’s Only going out there in every game to do her job by doing her very best……That is what Caitlin is gunning for!! Awesome!
Women's team would not have had to win a nail biter to get Olympic Gold with Catlin on the team. Keeping her off the team almost cost US gold and end a very long win streak.
Some of the dented egos in the game should just retire now, while they still have _some_ fans.
MVP Clarke. Makes her opponents look like a bunch of misfits. A winner with style and grace on and off the court.
Imagine that .... an MVP who beat the record for turnover (passing the ball to the other team) by 55%
Mercury has been playing the same game they've always played, which is having Griner stand near the basket and keep feeding him the ball. This strategy has worked up until CC entered the league. Those days of feeding Griner the ball to make their baskets are over!!
You can see in most games how CC runs around BG or can’t keep up with her passes under the rim.
I love how she is a team player
Caitlin just needs to proclaim , as Jordan did, “There’s a new sheriff in town.”
Clarke is a total bad ass . She proved her self time and time again . She has my vote
Lady in the streets and a BEAST on the COURT!!! Nuff said.....😂
She is a female Larry Bird! Unstoppable! A joy to watch!
I was never into NBA, least of all WNBA. Now I can't get enough of this girl. I am not even from the USA!
So glad to see more people showing up for games now
Clark makes the WNBA look lazy and lacking focus so instead of complaining step up your game
That’s a great way to phrase it, so true!
1:55 Taurasi needs to retire. She looks like she's longing for a seat on the bench. The game is too young, too fast for her to compete in.
It's only a tiny subset of the league that she can't compete against. Using your logic, most players should retire and we'd be left with 2 teams.
The level in the WNBA isn't so high that it's out of reach for 40 year old. But things are changing with all the excitement around CC, and we can expect young blood to raise the bar in the coming decade, but it's not there yet. The game in the league hasn't been revolutionized in a single season, let's stay a bit real.
CC’s not just rookie of the year - she’s MVP of the league… Face it - she’s got it. 😮😊
No she is not. Look up "Player Efficiency Rating"
"PER strives to measure a player's per-minute performance, while adjusting for pace. A league-average PER is always 15.00, which permits comparisons of player performance across seasons. PER takes into account positive results, including field goals, free throws, 3-pointers, assists, rebounds, blocks and steals and negative results, including missed shots, turnovers and personal fouls. The formula adds positive stats and subtracts negative ones through a statistical point value system. The rating for each player is then adjusted to a per-minute basis so that, for example, substitutes can be compared with starters in playing time debates. It is also adjusted for the team's pace. In the end, one number sums up the players' statistical accomplishments for that season. "
All-time great season 35.0+
Runaway MVP candidate 30.0-35.0
Strong MVP candidate 27.5-30.0
Weak MVP candidate 25.0-27.5
Definite All-Star 22.5-25.0
Borderline All-Star 20.0-22.5
In the last 10 years, 7 of the MVP awards went to the player with the highest PER.
In the last 10 years, 8 of the MVP awards went to the player with the highest PER.
Here's this year's stats .
1 A'ja Wilson 34.94
2 Napheesa Collier 25.7
3 Breanna Stewart 24.5
4 Jonquel Jones 21.0
5 Caitlin Clark 20.9
6 Nneka Ogwumike 20.9
7 Brittney Griner 20.8
8 Dearica Hamby 20.7
9 Aliyah Boston 20.2
10 Alyssa Thomas 20.0
11 Arike Ogunbowale 19.4
12 Angel Reese 19.2
13 Ezi Magbegor 18.8
14 Tina Charles 18.6
15 Sabrina Ionescu 17.4
We'll see CC in the running .... but I just can't see them going with CC (20.9) when the player with the highest PER on history A'ja Wilson (34,95) (Men's or Women's) .... not to mention ... CC breaking the assist (passing ball to teammate who scores) record by 5% kinda pales next to breaking the turnover record (errant pass to the opposing team) by 55%

Diana you will never compare to Caitlin. She will still be breaking Records when you disappear.
CC should boycott the next Olympics citing, "I need the rest from carrying the WNBA on my back."😂
They can’t do it like her!! Enough is enough, she’s already the blossoming GOAT of WNBA
Sorry, never wants the right to trash talk individuals. Trash talk the team, not just individual. Besides, she clearly has not studying Caitlyn well because most of us know that Caitlyn feeds off of negativity and uses it to drive her harder.
Guess CC learned real fast huh. Diane is definitely a has been now
Almost sounds like Taurasi is the one learning from the rookie. Or maybe schooled? It shows who is the real 'girl, woman? It is called just keep your mouth shut.
People being so mean to Diana. She said it would be a transition. Probably didn't know it would be her leaving. 😅
It wasn't what she said, it was the way she was licking her chops with anticipation of Clark getting smacked upside the head by "reality" that did it...and the arrogant dumba** then says the same thing about the fans (going from kindergarten...). It obviously never enters her mind to look at her own behavior when others object to it. Ugh. She probably hasn't looked, either, at the fact her big deal 6th gold medal was unearned by her play in the Olympic Games.
You didn't hear her whole statement, some of it is condescending. Listen to the whole convo.
@@Kitchie26Maybe re-read the last sentence and understand the sarcasm.
Diana probably realizes at this point there is a new sheriff in town. That's what Magic said happened at a certain point when Michael Jordan came into the league. CC has already started transforming the WNBA. Barring injury she might end up being the GOAT.
Diana is smug and arrogant and a very jealous person. I would hope that type of attitude would end her career.
Taurasi is exactly the type of person that came to mind when thinking about the WNBA. Now its CC and that couldn't be better for the WNBA.
Well. Even though my Vegas Aces are still tops i knew Clark would start dominating the league. She's a Killier. And this is JUST HER ROOKIE YEAR!!!!
no one heard of Taurasi until CC came along...Taurasi should be grateful people now know her name.
I live in Phoenix and Taurasi's a legend here, but I'm a huge Catlin fan. I've never seen anyone, guy or gal, who can do everything she does.
I think by being denied her rightful spot on the Olympic team she has become even more well-known. I didn’t follow the WNBA and hadn’t even heard of her before all this happened. Now I loving watching footage of her play and would love to see her in person. She’s teaching girls what’s possible, like when kids wanted to be “like Mike” and how Simone Biles has raised the bar in gymnastics’ athleticism.
Eating them sour grapes , Go Caitlin just play your game , NO WORRIES THERE !
She is so good, and is treated so bad by the whole league.
CC reminds me of Larry Bird in his prime.
So much hate for Clark and jealousy. Keep going Catlin, you are the reason viewership is up and people are watching the WNBA. Cannot stand the haters.
With the arrival of Kaitlyn Clark in 2024, play WNBA is finally established! Great job Caitlin.
Should've sent the "CC All Stars" to the Olympics instead of the LGBT crew. They were not only BETTER, but they were ALL WOMEN.
They hate CC because they’re all heterophobes! They stole a gold medal from her. And what did DT add to the Olympic campaign? NOTHING!
Thank you, you hit the bull’s eye !!!!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😂😂😂
Leaving Clark off the Olympic team was a world class snub.
When the NFL drafts a 1st round Quarterback, they slowly introduce theminto high pressure situations. Not going to the Olypics was the bast thing that every happened to CC ... look at here stats before and after the Olympics ... "night and day" doesn't begin to describe it. An yes,if the selection had happened later in the season,she would have made the team ... not to mentioned, she was drained fro all the press,and dealing with social media,
Instead of getting involved in all the verbal and other drama Caitlin lets her basketball speak for her!
WNBA for years never got noticed because of lack of interest. This young lady shows up and now these women are being petty because she brought attention after what she has done.
CC keeps treating Taurasi like a speed bump and she can't handle it
What the funniest part is no one knew this beak face brod before Catlin Clark stepped up and got everyone's interest in the WNBA. We were lucky enough to have her on the Iowa Hawkeye's team. GO CATLIN, MAKE THESE HATERS MORE IRRELEVANT THEN THEY WERE BEFORE YOU HELPED THEM BECOME KNOWN.
Seems like the adjustment period is for her to adjust to Clark's play.
Taurasi, who my daughters and i blindly put our allegiance behind as a huskie, is apparently no different than the rest of the jealous bigots.... shame!
Notice how she just plays basketball and doesn't get involved in politics or the pride movement, or trash talking other players, just plays basketball!
She was cheating! She was making the ball go in the basket! Lol! She was also passing the basketball to her teammates and then going in the basket!
If only DT had said something like, “l think CC is a very exciting talent and l’m looking forward to playing her.” But noooo, being nice, or even neutral, about a new player that is prone to steal the spotlight from the old guard, was just too much!
⚡CC-22=F-22 RAPTOR FIGHTER JET ⚡
SHE IS
⚡ THE LASER SPECTACLE⚡
She doesn't just play basketball...
🔥 SHE IS BASKETBALL 🔥
🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
The WNBA never called my attention much before, It was always NBA.
but NOW...WOW ❗
... And I just can't get enough ❗
She makes them look stupid! MVP!
Kaitlyn is unstoppable but all these other women talking shit are just jealous because they’re not as talented as she is or consistently talented as she is. It’s pretty clear. Kaitlyn works her ass off to remain phenomenal basketball player.
She is only an underdog because of all the jealousy makes her out to be. Shes much better in many ways than the whole LOT OF THEM, that means all them. Shes in their face and there isnt a damn thing they can do about it, YOU GO GIRLFRIEND !!🎉❤😊!!
So … who “was cheating” whom when over what?
Exactly! Just another click bait thumbnail. And it really didn't need to be.
Caitlin Clark, should be the WNBA Logo. Put on every Jersey. Like Jerry West. She’s that good. A game changer. Has put together, one of the best rookie season’s of all time. Never mind rookie of the year honers. She qualifies for league MVP.
Just imagine how many actual assists she would have if her teammates would learn how to make easy layups.
I live here in Arizona and never heard of Diana but I've heard about Caitlyn.
“Grown women” that Caitlyn Clark has exposed to look, play, and act like 6th graders…FACT 💯
“It’s the new fans. They’re really sensitive these days.”
How’s that crow tasting? Need some water to wash it down? 😂
The transition period didn't last very long for Caitlin, did it Taurasi?
I’ve heard of Caitlin, but I’ve never heard of the other one.
Someone needs to do a few videos of all the BAD CALLS the official refs have made this season, not only against CC, which seems to be intentional bad calls and 'non-calls', but they need to have light put on them so they are held to account for being lame first of all, but also being inept at their jobs. No one else holding such a high level job in the private sector, would hold their jobs after time and time again, performing sub standardly. Time they are called out and we have to show the video evidence. That should also show the agenda and contempt most have for Caitlin too.
CATLIN RULES!!!!
Caitlyn is the Larry Bird of this generation.
You mean the white kid that can play bb?
🏀Your only as good as in great point guard play or as I say floor general she is the Magic Johnson of this generation! Magic in the NBA finals with a injured Kareem-Abdul Jabbar played center scored 42 points,snared 15 rebounds in game 6 to win the NBA Championship in his rookie year and series MVP!🏆Not to mention Winning 5 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS to Birds 3 tiltes!🏀
Larry Joe Bird with all respect,Bird himself said that Magic was the best back then, as two of the fiercest competitors to ever play the pro game eventually after playing they became the best of friends🏀⛹️♂️🤾🏿♂️
@@scottgarlow3377 I didn’t say she was the best, I said she was the Larry Bird… That is to say no one can match her from the perimeter. She plays the inside with wit and personality, she inspires the play of those around her and she is hated by all the jealous ho’s that can’t match her. Much like Bird.
