Yes. I grew up in Iowa. And would like granddaughters to follow CC journey. I also as a kid was a huge Muhammad Ali fan so has nothing to do with ethnic background. I would be excited to see a kid off the REZ shine some day too.
This was a tennis player who did very little else than play tennis....other than use her name everywhere she could and stand in front of cameras... "ADVISE" .....from someone with this history? "ADVISE"? Well ....there are in fact a lot of "followers" for TRUMPTY ......so no one can accuse AMERICANS of being very intelligent. .

I never want to hear another feminist word again they are the biggest gaslighters in the world. Won’t even support other women 🤣🙄🙄
We all know Serena has been compromised. She's a proud mother of two biracial daughters, and her appearance has gradually changed over the years. Would be nice to see what her real hair looks like, and honestly, I don't care Just making an observation

Kuddos for Serena saying what she did: the difficulty is CC doesn’t even have support from her teammates. At least as a singles tennis player it was all on her, not saying it was easy, but it’s harder trying to be the best when your team am Seems like they want you to fail
Serena need to support her own kind . LET CC fans support her . Serena should kw better all the heat and racist remarks she had . She should not want to help the same type of pple that came against her !! I would never help anyone that's racist
Cami- loo yes she will. I'm proud of Serena Williams " The Queen Of Tennis" encouraged her to stand strong against the negative pettiness in the WNBA. God will strengthen Caitlin Clark to overcome and the Olympics will finally select her to be the new and next Olympics 2024 basketball champion. I want Caitlin Clark to meet Michael Jordan she would probably go crazy meeting the " King Of Basketball" himself. The man who changed the NBA since, 1984. Michael Jordan put style into the game of basketball. Caitlin Clark will bring love, unity, and triumph in the WNBA. I think this is what Caitlin C will bring. I see it in her because her family made her tough. God instilled that toughness within her. Caitlin Clark one day will be " The Princess Of The WNBA". Opening doors for future women generations. Paige Bueckers another college basketball legend is the next #1 draft pick for the WNBA in 2025. I'm ready and waiting for Paige B. You're so cute, sweet and talented. Bring your A game to the WNBA. The stars and fans are waiting. Shoot I wish I was there to watch you play. I'm a basketball fan and player in the neighborhood already.
@@cherylcarmouche4170cuz technically she is supporting her own kind...a woman facing hardship in her sport cuz she isn't the norm...by your take...we should blame CC for what Serena went through...that's like blacks being blamed for what thugs do...just saying
I'm British, been a huge fan Serena Williams for a long time and I'm glad that she spoken up and supporting Caitlin Clark, what a gem 💎. All Clark has to do is to be herself and to block all noise and haters, to stay focus on her game. Sending love from UK 🇬🇧❤️
So happy that Serena spoke in support of Caitlin. I am so tired of those ignorant, limited WNBA players who think that all black people support their racist mentality.
@@kathyDaniel-g4q because they are successful black women in America and understand business and the context. Unlike yourself. You’re not successful it’s obvious.
Imagine if Caitlin gives them what they want and gets the hell outta Dodge and goes overseas? The shit storm that she'd leave behind would doom the WNBA
I'm a CPA, so I like to focus on the business side of things. Caitlin is THE BIGGEST boost to the WNBA's financial future in the leagues history. This is one of those times where everyone should look beyond the court of play. We're talking long-term, and all of the players (including the hateful ones) ready to cash in on it also. To me it will be interesting if the Fever oust Sides because she sucks at coaching Caitlin, and will be more interesting if the WNBA gets it right and rides this wave for the future success of the league.
I agree with the financial issues. The WNBA has never made a profit and the NBA gives millions to the WNBA. I also am not going to downplay any of the players that established the leaguer. What I don’t understand is why it is perfectly fine to be a Steph Curry fan and not a LeBron fan (as examples of NBA players), but the attitude that Caitlin Clark brings more young girls to basketball is wrong-it is neither wrong or right-it is just true. All of the WNBA should be celebrating that any fresh talent is going to be a curiosity because of how good they were in college. In the end, Caitlin Clark still has to play very good ball to be a star in the league. Celebrate what each player brings to the table.
@DebraL321 100% agree. I would like Angel Reese more if she had lowered the volume. Rough play is fine, but Caitlin has a target on her back, on and off the court. I've known of the WNBA and know many of the greats who have played in the league. But I followed Caitlin to the WNBA to be a more active observer. It's being played wrong on so many levels. It's insane to me. The players, her coach, the league, the media - they're all playing hot potato, and that potato is banged up due to many drops. Caitlin is a gold mine and a raw rookie. If, at the end of 3 years, she is grossly underperforming, then the narrative can change. She has the tools to be a big-time star.
serena williams has been a great athlete, and she earned everything she got, no cancel culture, no woke ideas, no racial card, just talent and commitment. she of course recognizes people who are, potentially, like her
The race card is played against her tho let's not forget same thing happened to her, mostly black people trash talk CC and mostly white men call Serena a man
@@mannysmob4217 Most men prefer more feminine tennis players; that's all. At those time, I preferred Venus, and Daniela Hantuchova; but Serena was stronger and more talented. I don't remember anyone complaining about her race; maybe it happened in USA?
Caitlin is doing what Tiger did for golf. If people tuned in for him because he was black, and it was okay, and it helped everyone, no one can say anything when Caitlin brings in more fans just because of who she is. No PGA golfer is upset because of Tiger, because they realize his impact and the benefit for them. These players need to stop before their cash cow is crushed when these fans tune out.
Agree. I only watch Golf when Tiger is Playing. I remember when I first heard of Tiger... in a Gym where one old guy was telling another old guy "How about that Tiger Woods!"
This was a tennis player who did very little else than play tennis....other than use her name everywhere she could and stand in front of cameras... "ADVISE" .....from someone with this history? "ADVISE"? Well ....there are in fact a lot of "followers" for TRUMPTY ......so no one can accuse AMERICANS of being very intelligent. .
73 yr old starting watching WNBA when Caitlin Clark joined (saw her from college clips, etc which started it) - Just like I started watching Football once Taylor Swift hooked up with Travis Kelce - Caitlin Clark is the Brightest Star - Stand By Her and You'll be a WINNER.
What's happened to Clark is insane to me. been watching the NBA since 2009 and i've never seen a rookie or even just player receive so much hate from other players. Fans ? Media ? yeah sure but usually NBA player will kinda defend eachother even if throwing slight shade it rarely goes past that. Women can be so petty and jealous it's crazy to me
Only to see the jealousy and lack of intellect of those treating Caitlin Clark horribly. This has shown players would rather lose, not improve their finances--it’s just about individuals going out and getting individuals making what they can get. Clark did not say anything about how great she is, the fans are showing the WNBA who they want to see and it Caitlin Clark. Stay classy Caitlin. And tell your teammates to have your back on the court!!!
No one is jealous those player have championships Olympic metals why be jealous CC don't even have a ring plz . They are tired of their efforts being ignored. They won metal etc. Before CC was even there. They don't need her yall made her popular and obviously that's not enough where is her RING . I GUESS IF WE DOING IT LIKE THAT I CAN GO BE AN ATTORNEY WITH NO LAW DEGREE REGARDLESS IF IM JUST GOOD AT LAW. WE ALL KW WHAT THIS IS PLZ
We have truly come full circle with white athletes being discriminated against and a return to Jew-hatred around the world. Hearts in every race carry the same sins.
Who were the racists that descriminated agains the Williams sisters? I remember the sister featuring on channel 13 with sportscaster Vic the Brick, when they were kids. Even Rick Dees from KIIS FM radio station spoke about them someday becoming stars. People recognized their talent right away. Yes, I'm honestly asking who were the racist.
Clark is NOT the white version of Jackie Robinson! JR went through hell as a player in those times! He never waved off people and said you can't see me. He and and his family lived in terror!! He was never slated as the goat! get real. do you even know the JR story? I doubt it!!! Jackie was not all hype!!!
I love this analysis of Caitlin Clark that Serena Williams even enhanced with honesty. I don't even watch the woke NBA anymore, let alone the WNBA. I do follow Caitlin Clark the phenom. I've watched her plays on TH-cam, her interviews, and sports news greats who cover her play and comment on league jealousy. What a racist hen party.
The WNBA players have a little more time to fix this. A position they could have started with is soon going to be to late. What happed to sportsmanship? A shake of the hand to someone that did great things in college. And maybe say something in the realm of like 'Bring it on cupcake'. This league has to stick together, enough with this crap. C'mon ladies, your better than this!
@@DrJoy-cw7lt Well I believe there are more players that are kind. But in like other cases are scared to go against bully's. They can't be themselves and feel that they have to conform. Anyways, I do have hope still.
Serena Williams is more than a mentor for Caitlin Clark; the GOAT should be the role model for how to succeed in women’s sports. In professional women’s sports, there’s the right way of doing it (WTA tennis & the 4 majors) and then there’s the wrong way of doing it (LPGA, WMBA, USWNT soccer). In the LPGA, they bungled Michelle Wie’s career (she also had a lot to do with her failures) and then the LPGA then allowed a whole decade of non-english speaking, spotlight-hiding foreign Asian players who had zero marketing/branding potential for sponsors and viewers rule the roost. the LPGA basically committed harakiri for 3 decades. The USWNT could have ridden Mia Hamm and Alex Morgan to marketing heights and instead the USWNT team decided to have the face of their organization become the likes of Megan Rapinoe and Hope Solo instead. Branding kryptonite. Now to women’s basketball, the WNBA and the Olympic team. The WNBA could have made a more favorable schedule for the Indiana Fever before the draft (knowing 99% that CC would be selected by Indiana). The first 10 games for Indiana have been a gauntlet of back-to-backs and the 2 toughest defenses from last year in multiple games. Eesh. The WNBA is looking a gift horse of a lifetime (more than a generational player) directly in the mouth. Then the Olympic team decided to keep CC off the roster. First of all, 90% of Americans didn’t even know women’s basketball was an Olympic sport. Next, no one is watching US Olympic basketball without CC; i barely watch the NBA regular season and definitely don’t watch the WNBA. No one has mentioned it, but a US Caitlin Clark jersey could be the single most highest grossing piece of apparel in American Olympic history, no? Whose jersey or shoes are currently #1?!? That’s right, no one knows the answer. For these and half a dozen more reasons, women’s basketball is killing itself by not promoting CC more. Literally NO ONE watches WNBA except sports bettors, a small sub-pop i won’t mention, CC fans, and curious casual fans of CC highlights on ESPN and youtube. No one. The Venus and Serena decades could have been a pock mark on women’s tennis and could have spelled the end of women’s tennis altogether. Sharapova wasn’t winning and Kournikova was not endearing enough to the masses. Instead, the the WTA or whatever tennis body ruled in the 90s/00s (with some help from the Tiger Woods halo) embraced Serena as much as it possibly could. And now the rest is history. Venus is super marketable and Serena is the GOAT. CC is smart; she will listen to the wisdom of Serena’s guidance. But the WNBA? Will they follow the incompetence of the LPGA and USWNT or will they follow the genius of the WTA? Based on all indications thus far, the WNBA leadership will bungle this into oblivion. The leadership will squander the women’s Michael Jordan and we’ll have to wait for the leadership to retire or die so the next round of leadership can do something w/ the women’s Lebron in 2030.
"Why don't women get paid as much as men" This. This is why. You tell them how to make more, and when opportunity knocks, they intentionally work in the opposite direction. It's because they want to complain about the problem, not learn how to fix it.
serena understands everything... she went to a sport which were dominated by white and was labeled as not worthy to be on that sport but still she dominated and eventually became a superstar and was well respected...
I love Serena Williams , when she was on a show and the host said she was the greatest tennis player of all time, she had no problem saying "the 30th ranked male would blow me out, its 2 different sports and they hit a hundred times faster" and the woke said what? you cant say that...
Sounds about right. CC was asked about playing against NBA players as well and she said she'll be lucky to get off 1 shot. She's played against boys before so she knows how that would go. When asked about shooting 3s with Steph, she said he'd smoke her for sure. But she'd still wanna do it so that she can hopefully get his autograph afterward and fangirl hahaha.
Things to Serena Williams for making this comment no one knows the pressure of being the best more than Serena does and it proves that there is a lot of jealousy in the WNBA because of Caitlin Clark
Serena understands what it means to be a role-model and professional athlete at the same time. Player performance on the court is equally important to their behavior _off_ the court. Fans love great players, but they love _classy_ great players even more because fans want to be like them: aka "role models", that's why CC just signed $28M deal with Nike - the biggest endorsement deal in WNBA history. Petty, smug, arrogant, obscene players will never see their picture on a box of Wheaties.
I respected Serena's tennis ability before but I did not know much about her as a person. I now respect her as a good person as much as I respect her tennis ability. Thank you Serena. To answer your question, I don't watch the games but I am a fan of the WNBA because of Clark from TH-camrs. I was also a fan of Larry Bird. I love seeing them make long shots I am a 5'4" male and a poor athlete. LOL Basketball was not my strong suit.
Serena and Venus show that hard work achieves success regardless of circumstance. People complaining about racism holding them back are just lazies that want things handed to them.
I am not a sports fan at all. I think athletes are often put way too high on a pedistle, BUT I will watch Clark and only Clark. The WNBA needs to see who is pulling dollars and viewership. Serena has always been a class act and I'm glad she stepped up to support a bright shining talent. Good luck Clark. Our neighborhood is here to support you.
we are in a unique situation, we get to see if the wnba is smart enough to rise to a level where they can stand on their own or if they would prefer to forever take handouts from the nba
Clark knows what is going on around her.. and the bs doesn't bother her.. Alot of people get upset because she isn't taking anything personal.. she just wants to play ball.. honestly fever needs better players then who they have.. Boston in the last game was ball hogging... getting bad as Mitchell and Wheeler.. but Clark is just trying her best to play.. it's not her fault her own teammates aren't truly behind her besides the wnba
Caitlin got more professional team mates in college. These pros cannot, Boston, run a screen properly. A poor screen is worse than no screen. Caitlin was used to professional screens in college. Her professional team has not been taught how to do a proper screen and the season will soon be half over.
I just watched CC's ROTM highlights on the Fever page again and noticed AB was able to set proper screens for CC on some of those shots. Then their screens seemed to get worse instead of improve. Adrienne Ross put up a wonderful video showing the screens from Iowa versus Indiana. Those were from their recent games, too. Seems like Temi and KLS were the only ones doing them correctly while others were oddly just going through the motions or appearance of a screen (not even waiting for contact before moving to their positions). Maybe time will tell whether these are intentional or not.
@@torigabriel6025 Not surprised Temi and KLS were not involved in the apparent sabotage of CC. In May the other players either could not catch the pass or if they did couldn't dunk the ball..dozens of missed baskets by Fever forwards. Combine that with Sides apparent incompetence as a coach it's been a nightmare for CC. All this on top of an inhuman schedule to start the year. 11 games in 20 days. Aces only played 5 in that time and they were basically a set team from the start. It sure doesn't feel like much of a welcome for CC. If you weren't a conspiracy theorist to begin the year you may well be one now.
Of course she's modest and community-minded. She's an Iowan! If, like me, you came from elsewhere (Chicago for me) and then lived in Iowa, you know what I mean.
Let's see if anyone, anyone in the WMBA can do simple maths..media income is $60 million a year without Clark. With Clark they can earn $240 million a year. Can anyone in the WNBA see the difference per year?
I am a Ohio State Buckeyes fan being born there . Iowa was a BIG 10 rival to us. I am PROUD AS FUCK to be a HUGE Caitlin Clark fan . Kick Their Asses Babe. BIG 10 PROUD ! I Love Caitlin Clark !!!! 🌹💋💘💋🌹
Serena Thank You and LeBron for recognizing THEVRISING STAR THE FUTURE GOAT! THE GREATS KNOW WHAT CRITICIZING MEANS!! STAY FOCUSED STAY TOUGH JUST DOMINATE THE FLOOR LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN DOING!! YOU ARE INSPIRATION TO THE YOUNG AND PRESENT DAY SUPERSTARS!! LOVE TO SEE YOU PLAY !❤
Lol, A'ja has been playing in the W since 2018. Compare her college and rookie stats with Caitlin. Plus Caitlin has more class, is well-spoken. and doesn't rant on social media or race-bait.
Compare rookie season to rookie season because that's all we have on Clark. At this point Clark is far superior (look at the stats) than Aja Wilson was. And I am an Aja fan #gamecocks!
Let's get some perspective, please. Serena was the best female tennis player of all time. She surpassed Graf, Navratilova, Hingis, Seles, Henin. The best. She did it with effort, work, dedication, strength, resilience, and talent. The prejudice she fought against was minimal, and part of it was due to how outspoken and unrestrained she was. Judges and some tennis analysts did not like outspoken athletes. Caitlin Clark is fighting against a massive wave of rac1sm from her competitors, some fans and most of the media. Having a pundit such as SAS saying (I watched the whole thing) she is where she is "because, let's face it, she's white" is evidence of how much rac1sm she's facing. Jackie Robinson's fight against rac1sm happened long before civil rights actions and movements. What he faced should never be faced by any human being, and his story serves as inspiration for anyone. Clark's troubles happen in 2023 and 2024, when prejudice against whites, Asians and Jews is viewed by the Left and the media as normal. What the Queen of Tennis had to go through is child's play in comparison to the sheer hatred Caitlin Clark is being submitted to.
It's not just Clarks incredible game, it's the entire last NCAA season and rookie class, who were PRO GIRL and supported each other and trailblazers before them.
It will be intersting how they do the "all stars game" i'm assuming the WNBA does that .....right...??? Will she play .....will she even be on the team......we shall see..!! Look regardless how great Caitlin is .....it doesn't change the fact that these women play an easy game....watch a NBA game then watch a WNBA....count how many times in man coverage the NBA leaves the lane open.....NONE.....look at the WNBA....just about every time....the WNBA is not the NBA....and if you want to see a bunch of women some cute some not....throw the ball around and yes watch Caitlin do her thing.....then it will work......I think most people who love Basketball rather see it at the top level....not just happening...
If you realy care about Clark ,why is She doing with Indiana? If you want to help WNBA & be great player maybe Coach of Indian & some team need to go! Why is She with a team that are using her for pass? Also why is it they do want to Shot not her? I seen that happened to Washington Rocky! This Women do not know basketball is a team play! WNBA ,women need to learn Base of basketball not hard way! Team warm & to give the ball to the one who can shot 30% or more! Clark is Stuck ,with indiana & unless she get selfish she Will not going to win! WNBA do not play team work!please they need coach also!
Quite a few years ago I used to run mega-laps at the Central Missouri State University multipurpose building, literally running around both the CMSU Mules and Jennies basketball team practices. I recall that it was 1982 when the Mules won the NCAA small college nationals, and the Jennies came in something like third. The Mules player were all beyond tall and even the point guards could touch the top of the backboard, while the Jennies rarely could even touch the rim. BUT, the Jennies were FAR more entertaining because of their high energy and amazing ball handling. Just like ALL of the WNBA teams play now. And now they're being thrust in front of their well deserved national audience and WTF cares that the catalyst has been a skinny white bundle of skills and drive from no-name midwest. Watch the clips inundating this platform, of players and teams having nothing to do with half-court threes. Appreciate their skills. Yup, there's probably some racist energy at the heart of each aspect of what's going on, but in the long run the quality of the play will win the day, and for all the right reasons. Play your best games, ladies, and enjoy the ride. You are on a journey that, one way or another, we are all cheering
Translation is Serena Williams just called out Joy Reid, Jemelle Hill, and all of the black WNBA players as "racists mad that they got what they have because of skin tone, not ability"!!!
Facts about Caitlin! Last time I watched the WNBA was in the 90s when I was kid and Lisa Leslie was really popular lol!! 😅😅 I’m only watching now because of Caitlin Clark and I’m starting to like some other teams too 😊
As much as I support her. CC current stats are not that good and her defense is garbage and her athleticism is lacking. Jordan in his rookie year was dominating Magic and Bird to the point they handed him the baton and those dude were beating the ish out of rookie Jordan. There is nothing CC that's doing right now make anyone in the WNBA want to hand her anything. I bought the hype train, but watching the games, her execution simply can't back it up. Whether it's her or whether coaching, it ain't working (so many turnovers, so low of a shooting %, very few 3s, etc). You shouldn't expect grown ass woman to coddle her until she proves she can take the beating and still win games. The way media is spinning is trying to make excuses that it's not her game that matters, it's HER that matters. But I watched some her games and it STILL wasn't exciting. My eyeballs have moved on.
All this hate coming from the people who say they stand against bullying and for mental health awareness. Happened to me during covid when I didn't bend the knee for George Floyd. Supposed human rights activists got pretty cruel towards me very quickly.
Serena has always been a very humble Champion, true winner. I always enjoyed watching her play, her support negates the woke negatives by other WNBA players.
If they keep treating Clark like this I absolutely will boycott the racist WNBA. It’s just pure jealousy and it makes the league look petty and quite frankly pathetic.
Why is she Jackie Robinson? There have been a large number of beloved white players in the league since its inception. Many are considered some of the game's greatest players. Five of the Fever's current 12 players are white. You can't trail-blaze a well worn path.

It doesn't matter how good she is or how much she brings to the WNBA. She is white and straight. You know, natural and talented and that can't be tolerated. Good on Serena Williams. Many thanks from us average people.
Anybody not think that is just what they are doing.....getting better crowd numbers by building this rivalry.everyone loves a David and Goliath story line.
Do we think Serena is just doing this service for Ms. Clark out of the kindness of her heart, or might it be in conjunction with her Husband who is highjly invested in Female Professional Sports, Media, and representation.
Here’s what all the haters and negative attention are doing to CC - it’s MAKING her a better player today and tomorrow. They think it’s going to demoralize her but it’s building her up, and they don’t even realize it.
Adversity may take Clark out on a given game now and then but they will never separate her from the spirit of the game. My wife originally is from Iowa. We are both approaching our seventies and never been stick & ball fans. We caught the Fever and seldom miss a game on tv.
I am black and I stopped watching any basketball due to all the lame lying social causes. However, I will watch a game with Caitlin. I refused to buy Nike but will buy something else she endorses.
Clark is amazing. I was a good player as a kid. I had a very good jump & catch passes let alone rebounding but I couldn't shoot to save my life. Everybody else in the team did that job from outside the key but I had no competition inside the key. I even outscored all of them but I was under the ring, not outside the key & I had no real competition.
I love watching CC as much as the next person. To be fair, look at how Jewell Loyd also gets banged on the court. Its a bully league. And also to be fair, CC is taking it on the chin and holding up quite well. It won't be long before a lot of good players will be wanting to sign with the Fever to play with CC and win championships.
were here talking about the WNBA early in their season while the NBA finals are happening... because of Caitlin Clark... the only difference between obscurity and headlines is her spark she's added to the league.

Did the Caitlin Clark effect make you follow the WNBA? Yes or No.
Yes. I grew up in Iowa. And would like granddaughters to follow CC journey. I also as a kid was a huge Muhammad Ali fan so has nothing to do with ethnic background. I would be excited to see a kid off the REZ shine some day too.
no, but i stop scrolling on my phone when I see her highlights, and lately, been watching the other ladies on other highlight reels.
Somewhat due to how gifted/talented individuals deal with misguided resentment, even in one's own fam if you can imagine
No. It made me follow Clark. The WNBA is trash.
Thanks for deleting my comment, i won't be here anymore.
Thank you Serina Williams for being such a GEM 💎
This was a tennis player who did very little else than play tennis....other than use her name everywhere she could and stand in front of cameras...

Serena has been the real deal for a long time.
The WNBA would rather lose without her than win with her. The pettiness is just ridiculous
It sums up the ENTIRETY of leftism.
Leftist scumbaggery is the same everywhere.
There was a large poll showing Clark has the most positive rating of any bb player in the world behind Lebron and Steph curry. Men had a 49% rating of Clark , women had a 33% rating.

Seems like they want you to fail
WNBA fans number: 400, sometimes 4
Caitlin Clark fans number: literally millions including me
I'm so glad Serena spoke out.
Clark is going to change the "bully" culture in the WNBA.
Serena need to support her own kind . LET CC fans support her . Serena should kw better all the heat and racist remarks she had . She should not want to help the same type of pple that came against her !! I would never help anyone that's racist
Cami- loo yes she will. I'm proud of Serena Williams " The Queen Of Tennis" encouraged her to stand strong against the negative pettiness in the WNBA. God will strengthen Caitlin Clark to overcome and the Olympics will finally select her to be the new and next Olympics 2024 basketball champion. I want Caitlin Clark to meet Michael Jordan she would probably go crazy meeting the " King Of Basketball" himself. The man who changed the NBA since, 1984. Michael Jordan put style into the game of basketball. Caitlin Clark will bring love, unity, and triumph in the WNBA. I think this is what Caitlin C will bring. I see it in her because her family made her tough. God instilled that toughness within her. Caitlin Clark one day will be " The Princess Of The WNBA". Opening doors for future women generations. Paige Bueckers another college basketball legend is the next #1 draft pick for the WNBA in 2025. I'm ready and waiting for Paige B. You're so cute, sweet and talented. Bring your A game to the WNBA. The stars and fans are waiting. Shoot I wish I was there to watch you play. I'm a basketball fan and player in the neighborhood already.

All Clark has to do is to be herself and to block all noise and haters, to stay focus on her game.
Sending love from UK 🇬🇧❤️
So happy that Serena spoke in support of Caitlin. I am so tired of those ignorant, limited WNBA players who think that all black people support their racist mentality.
Williams sisters should be mentioned early and often in regards to CC
@@tommyjuneau6329 Why?
@@kathyDaniel-g4q because they are successful black women in America and understand business and the context. Unlike yourself. You’re not successful it’s obvious.
agree so much carolannc
@@kathyDaniel-g4q Looks to have very similar parallels of popularity and controversy...basically what Serena stated
Imagine if Caitlin gives them what they want and gets the hell outta Dodge and goes overseas? The shit storm that she'd leave behind would doom the WNBA
I'm a CPA, so I like to focus on the business side of things. Caitlin is THE BIGGEST boost to the WNBA's financial future in the leagues history. This is one of those times where everyone should look beyond the court of play. We're talking long-term, and all of the players (including the hateful ones) ready to cash in on it also. To me it will be interesting if the Fever oust Sides because she sucks at coaching Caitlin, and will be more interesting if the WNBA gets it right and rides this wave for the future success of the league.
It’s the Tiger Woods effect.
I agree with the financial issues. The WNBA has never made a profit and the NBA gives millions to the WNBA. I also am not going to downplay any of the players that established the leaguer. What I don’t understand is why it is perfectly fine to be a Steph Curry fan and not a LeBron fan (as examples of NBA players), but the attitude that Caitlin Clark brings more young girls to basketball is wrong-it is neither wrong or right-it is just true. All of the WNBA should be celebrating that any fresh talent is going to be a curiosity because of how good they were in college. In the end, Caitlin Clark still has to play very good ball to be a star in the league. Celebrate what each player brings to the table.
@DebraL321 100% agree. I would like Angel Reese more if she had lowered the volume. Rough play is fine, but Caitlin has a target on her back, on and off the court. I've known of the WNBA and know many of the greats who have played in the league. But I followed Caitlin to the WNBA to be a more active observer. It's being played wrong on so many levels. It's insane to me. The players, her coach, the league, the media - they're all playing hot potato, and that potato is banged up due to many drops. Caitlin is a gold mine and a raw rookie. If, at the end of 3 years, she is grossly underperforming, then the narrative can change. She has the tools to be a big-time star.
serena williams has been a great athlete, and she earned everything she got, no cancel culture, no woke ideas, no racial card, just talent and commitment. she of course recognizes people who are, potentially, like her
The race card is played against her tho let's not forget same thing happened to her, mostly black people trash talk CC and mostly white men call Serena a man
@@mannysmob4217 Most men prefer more feminine tennis players; that's all. At those time, I preferred Venus, and Daniela Hantuchova; but Serena was stronger and more talented. I don't remember anyone complaining about her race; maybe it happened in USA?
@TheVinci19 yea it's the USA not on the news or anything just the general public that's how they criticized her saying she was an ugly man
@@mannysmob4217 it doesn't seem a racial thing, they say the same about Martina Navratilova
Caitlin is doing what Tiger did for golf. If people tuned in for him because he was black, and it was okay, and it helped everyone, no one can say anything when Caitlin brings in more fans just because of who she is. No PGA golfer is upset because of Tiger, because they realize his impact and the benefit for them. These players need to stop before their cash cow is crushed when these fans tune out.
Agree. I only watch Golf when Tiger is Playing. I remember when I first heard of Tiger... in a Gym where one old guy was telling another old guy "How about that Tiger Woods!"
Serena is the GOAT of female sports. She knows what's up
This was a tennis player who did very little else than play tennis....other than use her name everywhere she could and stand in front of cameras...
"ADVISE" .....from someone with this history? "ADVISE"?
Well ....there are in fact a lot of "followers" for TRUMPTY ......so no one can accuse AMERICANS of being very intelligent.
.
73 yr old starting watching WNBA when Caitlin Clark joined (saw her from college clips, etc which started it) - Just like I started watching Football once Taylor Swift hooked up with Travis Kelce - Caitlin Clark is the Brightest Star - Stand By Her and You'll be a WINNER.
What's happened to Clark is insane to me. been watching the NBA since 2009 and i've never seen a rookie or even just player receive so much hate from other players.
Fans ? Media ? yeah sure but usually NBA player will kinda defend eachother even if throwing slight shade it rarely goes past that.
Women can be so petty and jealous it's crazy to me
Her catch and release would make any champion fisherman blush
and Stephen Curry
B.C.C. (Before Caitlin Clark) I watched WNBA highlights on TH-cam when I was in the mood to laugh hysterically.
Only to see the jealousy and lack of intellect of those treating Caitlin Clark horribly. This has shown players would rather lose, not improve their finances--it’s just about individuals going out and getting individuals making what they can get. Clark did not say anything about how great she is, the fans are showing the WNBA who they want to see and it Caitlin Clark. Stay classy Caitlin. And tell your teammates to have your back on the court!!!
The WNBA would rather lose without her than win with her. The pettiness is just ridiculous
No its about her cult fan base ALWAYS making her the victim, so get your victim s*** together!!
No one is jealous those player have championships Olympic metals why be jealous CC don't even have a ring plz . They are tired of their efforts being ignored. They won metal etc. Before CC was even there. They don't need her yall made her popular and obviously that's not enough where is her RING . I GUESS IF WE DOING IT LIKE THAT I CAN GO BE AN ATTORNEY WITH NO LAW DEGREE REGARDLESS IF IM JUST GOOD AT LAW. WE ALL KW WHAT THIS IS PLZ
@cherylcarmouche4170 hey look a WNBA burner account for one of the women who failed to bring attention to the sport.
Who is treating Catlin horrible besides you Internet folks?
I've always said, Caitlin Clark is the white female version of the Great Jackie Robinson. Do Yo Thing CC🤘
We have truly come full circle with white athletes being discriminated against and a return to Jew-hatred around the world. Hearts in every race carry the same sins.
Good for her! This warms me. Women’s basketball should be for all women, not just lesbians and or non-white women.
You sound like the 🤡 you look like
Who were the racists that descriminated agains the Williams sisters? I remember the sister featuring on channel 13 with sportscaster Vic the Brick, when they were kids. Even Rick Dees from KIIS FM radio station spoke about them someday becoming stars. People recognized their talent right away.
Yes, I'm honestly asking who were the racist.
Gl hope you catch ‘em
Caitlin Clark is the white female version of the great Jackie Robinson. Do Yo thing CC🤟
Clark is NOT the white version of Jackie Robinson! JR went through hell as a player in those times! He never waved off people and said you can't see me. He and and his family lived in terror!! He was never slated as the goat! get real. do you even know the JR story? I doubt it!!! Jackie was not all hype!!!
@@kathyDaniel-g4q Stay mad 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤌🤌🤌
tiger and Serena williams also
Well, no
She's more like a talented athlete who scores a lot
Timmartin don't even begin to try to compare the two.
I love this analysis of Caitlin Clark that Serena Williams even enhanced with honesty. I don't even watch the woke NBA anymore, let alone the WNBA. I do follow Caitlin Clark the phenom. I've watched her plays on TH-cam, her interviews, and sports news greats who cover her play and comment on league jealousy. What a racist hen party.
The WNBA players have a little more time to fix this. A position they could have started with is soon going to be to late. What happed to sportsmanship? A shake of the hand to someone that did great things in college. And maybe say something in the realm of like 'Bring it on cupcake'. This league has to stick together, enough with this crap. C'mon ladies, your better than this!
I don’t think they are better than this. When people show you who they are, believe them.
@@DrJoy-cw7lt Well I believe there are more players that are kind. But in like other cases are scared to go against bully's. They can't be themselves and feel that they have to conform. Anyways, I do have hope still.
Serena is a real one:
Successful black woman in America .. “ negative people are just people that can’t do what you do” Serena W.
Serena Williams is more than a mentor for Caitlin Clark; the GOAT should be the role model for how to succeed in women’s sports.
In professional women’s sports, there’s the right way of doing it (WTA tennis & the 4 majors) and then there’s the wrong way of doing it (LPGA, WMBA, USWNT soccer).
In the LPGA, they bungled Michelle Wie’s career (she also had a lot to do with her failures) and then the LPGA then allowed a whole decade of non-english speaking, spotlight-hiding foreign Asian players who had zero marketing/branding potential for sponsors and viewers rule the roost. the LPGA basically committed harakiri for 3 decades.
The USWNT could have ridden Mia Hamm and Alex Morgan to marketing heights and instead the USWNT team decided to have the face of their organization become the likes of Megan Rapinoe and Hope Solo instead. Branding kryptonite.
Now to women’s basketball, the WNBA and the Olympic team. The WNBA could have made a more favorable schedule for the Indiana Fever before the draft (knowing 99% that CC would be selected by Indiana). The first 10 games for Indiana have been a gauntlet of back-to-backs and the 2 toughest defenses from last year in multiple games. Eesh. The WNBA is looking a gift horse of a lifetime (more than a generational player) directly in the mouth. Then the Olympic team decided to keep CC off the roster. First of all, 90% of Americans didn’t even know women’s basketball was an Olympic sport. Next, no one is watching US Olympic basketball without CC; i barely watch the NBA regular season and definitely don’t watch the WNBA. No one has mentioned it, but a US Caitlin Clark jersey could be the single most highest grossing piece of apparel in American Olympic history, no? Whose jersey or shoes are currently #1?!? That’s right, no one knows the answer. For these and half a dozen more reasons, women’s basketball is killing itself by not promoting CC more. Literally NO ONE watches WNBA except sports bettors, a small sub-pop i won’t mention, CC fans, and curious casual fans of CC highlights on ESPN and youtube. No one.
The Venus and Serena decades could have been a pock mark on women’s tennis and could have spelled the end of women’s tennis altogether. Sharapova wasn’t winning and Kournikova was not endearing enough to the masses. Instead, the the WTA or whatever tennis body ruled in the 90s/00s (with some help from the Tiger Woods halo) embraced Serena as much as it possibly could. And now the rest is history. Venus is super marketable and Serena is the GOAT.
CC is smart; she will listen to the wisdom of Serena’s guidance. But the WNBA? Will they follow the incompetence of the LPGA and USWNT or will they follow the genius of the WTA? Based on all indications thus far, the WNBA leadership will bungle this into oblivion. The leadership will squander the women’s Michael Jordan and we’ll have to wait for the leadership to retire or die so the next round of leadership can do something w/ the women’s Lebron in 2030.
Do the ladies of the WNBA not realize, Caitlin Clark is going to raise their salaries. Just like Tiger Woods raised the prize money on the PGA tour.
"Why don't women get paid as much as men"
This. This is why.
You tell them how to make more, and when opportunity knocks, they intentionally work in the opposite direction.
It's because they want to complain about the problem, not learn how to fix it.
I TOTALLY AGREE 👍. GO CLARK. SHE GOT THIS. STAY STRONG C C ,
WE GOT YOUR BACK!!!!
When it comes to Caitlin Clark the Silence is Truly Golden….go Caity.
serena understands everything... she went to a sport which were dominated by white and was labeled as not worthy to be on that sport but still she dominated and eventually became a superstar and was well respected...
They've already lost a lot of fans. Not many care to watch such a hate filled league.
I love Serena Williams , when she was on a show and the host said she was the greatest tennis player of all time, she had no problem saying "the 30th ranked male would blow me out, its 2 different sports and they hit a hundred times faster" and the woke said what? you cant say that...
Sounds about right. CC was asked about playing against NBA players as well and she said she'll be lucky to get off 1 shot. She's played against boys before so she knows how that would go. When asked about shooting 3s with Steph, she said he'd smoke her for sure. But she'd still wanna do it so that she can hopefully get his autograph afterward and fangirl hahaha.
Things to Serena Williams for making this comment no one knows the pressure of being the best more than Serena does and it proves that there is a lot of jealousy in the WNBA because of Caitlin Clark
Serena cosign is big.
Serena understands what it means to be a role-model and professional athlete at the same time. Player performance on the court is equally important to their behavior _off_ the court. Fans love great players, but they love _classy_ great players even more because fans want to be like them: aka "role models", that's why CC just signed $28M deal with Nike - the biggest endorsement deal in WNBA history. Petty, smug, arrogant, obscene players will never see their picture on a box of Wheaties.
Facts they need media training
Serena is the GOAT of women’s tennis!!! GOAT’s recognize future GOAT’s!!!
I respected Serena's tennis ability before but I did not know much about her as a person. I now respect her as a good person as much as I respect her tennis ability. Thank you Serena.
To answer your question, I don't watch the games but I am a fan of the WNBA because of Clark from TH-camrs. I was also a fan of Larry Bird. I love seeing them make long shots
I am a 5'4" male and a poor athlete. LOL Basketball was not my strong suit.
Caitlin Clark defines the old saying " IN YOUR FACE FROM OUTER SPACE "!!
Serena and Venus show that hard work achieves success regardless of circumstance. People complaining about racism holding them back are just lazies that want things handed to them.
Serena seems pretty cool and uniquely unracist for a black woman
Serena is a winner.. Winners like to see winners WIN!! and loosers Complain about the winners. Smh.
She has a lot of support 🎉 keep going Caitlin!!
I am not a sports fan at all. I think athletes are often put way too high on a pedistle, BUT I will watch Clark and only Clark. The WNBA needs to see who is pulling dollars and viewership. Serena has always been a class act and I'm glad she stepped up to support a bright shining talent. Good luck Clark. Our neighborhood is here to support you.
we are in a unique situation, we get to see if the wnba is smart enough to rise to a level where they can stand on their own or if they would prefer to forever take handouts from the nba
Clark might talk to Larry Bird. No one knows more about flourishing as a white superstar in a black basketball league.
Yes without CC the WNBA is a clown show.
Williams at least hadn't dealt with nonsense feminism and sexism from lesbians and almost transgender women.
Clark knows what is going on around her.. and the bs doesn't bother her.. Alot of people get upset because she isn't taking anything personal.. she just wants to play ball.. honestly fever needs better players then who they have.. Boston in the last game was ball hogging... getting bad as Mitchell and Wheeler.. but Clark is just trying her best to play.. it's not her fault her own teammates aren't truly behind her besides the wnba
Lol # America Sins
Good job Serena!
I think that’s awesome no matter what anyone thinks
She’ll be on the Olympic team.
I hereby dub her The Caitlinator.
I hereby dub her double-deuce!
Team Caitlin
Caitlin got more professional team mates in college. These pros cannot, Boston, run a screen properly. A poor screen is worse than no screen. Caitlin was used to professional screens in college. Her professional team has not been taught how to do a proper screen and the season will soon be half over.
I just watched CC's ROTM highlights on the Fever page again and noticed AB was able to set proper screens for CC on some of those shots. Then their screens seemed to get worse instead of improve. Adrienne Ross put up a wonderful video showing the screens from Iowa versus Indiana. Those were from their recent games, too. Seems like Temi and KLS were the only ones doing them correctly while others were oddly just going through the motions or appearance of a screen (not even waiting for contact before moving to their positions). Maybe time will tell whether these are intentional or not.
@@torigabriel6025 Not surprised Temi and KLS were not involved in the apparent sabotage of CC. In May the other players either could not catch the pass or if they did couldn't dunk the ball..dozens of missed baskets by Fever forwards. Combine that with Sides apparent incompetence as a coach it's been a nightmare for CC. All this on top of an inhuman schedule to start the year. 11 games in 20 days. Aces only played 5 in that time and they were basically a set team from the start.
It sure doesn't feel like much of a welcome for CC. If you weren't a conspiracy theorist to begin the year you may well be one now.
Of course she's modest and community-minded. She's an Iowan! If, like me, you came from elsewhere (Chicago for me) and then lived in Iowa, you know what I mean.
Let's see if anyone, anyone in the WMBA can do simple maths..media income is $60 million a year without Clark. With Clark they can earn $240 million a year. Can anyone in the WNBA see the difference per year?
Caitlin Clark is very Competitive and it’s good for the WNBA. I wish I could watch every FEVER game!!! CC is just good.😀😀😀🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I am a Ohio State Buckeyes fan being born there . Iowa was a BIG 10 rival to us. I am PROUD AS FUCK to be a HUGE Caitlin Clark fan . Kick Their Asses Babe. BIG 10 PROUD ! I Love Caitlin Clark !!!! 🌹💋💘💋🌹
Dont care about WNBA. Like watching highschoolers play.
Serena Thank You and LeBron for recognizing THEVRISING STAR THE FUTURE GOAT! THE GREATS KNOW WHAT CRITICIZING MEANS!! STAY FOCUSED STAY TOUGH JUST DOMINATE THE FLOOR LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN DOING!! YOU ARE INSPIRATION TO THE YOUNG AND PRESENT DAY SUPERSTARS!! LOVE TO SEE YOU PLAY !❤
Aja Wilson is far superior than Catlin Clark, it’s not even close. If so prove it?
Lol, A'ja has been playing in the W since 2018. Compare her college and rookie stats with Caitlin. Plus Caitlin has more class, is well-spoken. and doesn't rant on social media or race-bait.
Compare rookie season to rookie season because that's all we have on Clark. At this point Clark is far superior (look at the stats) than Aja Wilson was. And I am an Aja fan #gamecocks!
A'ja isn't a rookie...
Nobody cared about women's basketball, because of one person the whole world is watching women's basketball😂😂😂Go Caitlin♥️✊🏾
Let's get some perspective, please.
Serena was the best female tennis player of all time. She surpassed Graf, Navratilova, Hingis, Seles, Henin. The best. She did it with effort, work, dedication, strength, resilience, and talent.
The prejudice she fought against was minimal, and part of it was due to how outspoken and unrestrained she was. Judges and some tennis analysts did not like outspoken athletes.
Caitlin Clark is fighting against a massive wave of rac1sm from her competitors, some fans and most of the media. Having a pundit such as SAS saying (I watched the whole thing) she is where she is "because, let's face it, she's white" is evidence of how much rac1sm she's facing.
Jackie Robinson's fight against rac1sm happened long before civil rights actions and movements. What he faced should never be faced by any human being, and his story serves as inspiration for anyone.
Clark's troubles happen in 2023 and 2024, when prejudice against whites, Asians and Jews is viewed by the Left and the media as normal.
What the Queen of Tennis had to go through is child's play in comparison to the sheer hatred Caitlin Clark is being submitted to.
It's not just Clarks incredible game, it's the entire last NCAA season and rookie class, who were PRO GIRL and supported each other and trailblazers before them.
Anyone else sinking those LONG DISTANCE 3 pointers? I don't think so😂😂😂
It appears that what Rhonda Rousey did for the women's MMA, Caitlin Clark is doing for the WMBA.
Exactly what racism did Serena encounter? She didn't become a multi-millionaire fast enough?
Or do you just like saying words...
It will be intersting how they do the "all stars game" i'm assuming the WNBA does that .....right...??? Will she play .....will she even be on the team......we shall see..!! Look regardless how great Caitlin is .....it doesn't change the fact that these women play an easy game....watch a NBA game then watch a WNBA....count how many times in man coverage the NBA leaves the lane open.....NONE.....look at the WNBA....just about every time....the WNBA is not the NBA....and if you want to see a bunch of women some cute some not....throw the ball around and yes watch Caitlin do her thing.....then it will work......I think most people who love Basketball rather see it at the top level....not just happening...
If you realy care about Clark ,why is She doing with Indiana?
If you want to help WNBA & be great player maybe Coach of Indian & some team need to go!
Why is She with a team that are using her for pass?
Also why is it they do want to Shot not her?
I seen that happened to Washington Rocky!
This Women do not know basketball is a team play!
WNBA ,women need to learn Base of basketball not hard way!
Team warm & to give the ball to the one who can shot
30% or more!
Clark is Stuck ,with indiana & unless she get selfish she
Will not going to win!
WNBA do not play team work!please they need coach also!
Quite a few years ago I used to run mega-laps at the Central Missouri State University multipurpose building, literally running around both the CMSU Mules and Jennies basketball team practices. I recall that it was 1982 when the Mules won the NCAA small college nationals, and the Jennies came in something like third. The Mules player were all beyond tall and even the point guards could touch the top of the backboard, while the Jennies rarely could even touch the rim. BUT, the Jennies were FAR more entertaining because of their high energy and amazing ball handling. Just like ALL of the WNBA teams play now. And now they're being thrust in front of their well deserved national audience and WTF cares that the catalyst has been a skinny white bundle of skills and drive from no-name midwest. Watch the clips inundating this platform, of players and teams having nothing to do with half-court threes. Appreciate their skills. Yup, there's probably some racist energy at the heart of each aspect of what's going on, but in the long run the quality of the play will win the day, and for all the right reasons. Play your best games, ladies, and enjoy the ride. You are on a journey that, one way or another, we are all cheering
Translation is Serena Williams just called out Joy Reid, Jemelle Hill, and all of the black WNBA players as "racists mad that they got what they have because of skin tone, not ability"!!!
Facts about Caitlin! Last time I watched the WNBA was in the 90s when I was kid and Lisa Leslie was really popular lol!! 😅😅 I’m only watching now because of Caitlin Clark and I’m starting to like some other teams too 😊
After. MJ Caitlin Clark es my favorite basketball player. Let's go Caitlin.
From the videos I've watched, Clark is dropping 3s from 4-6 feet back. She seems to be an awesome athlete all around.
Awesome, but humble.
As much as I support her. CC current stats are not that good and her defense is garbage and her athleticism is lacking. Jordan in his rookie year was dominating Magic and Bird to the point they handed him the baton and those dude were beating the ish out of rookie Jordan. There is nothing CC that's doing right now make anyone in the WNBA want to hand her anything. I bought the hype train, but watching the games, her execution simply can't back it up. Whether it's her or whether coaching, it ain't working (so many turnovers, so low of a shooting %, very few 3s, etc). You shouldn't expect grown ass woman to coddle her until she proves she can take the beating and still win games. The way media is spinning is trying to make excuses that it's not her game that matters, it's HER that matters. But I watched some her games and it STILL wasn't exciting. My eyeballs have moved on.
All this hate coming from the people who say they stand against bullying and for mental health awareness. Happened to me during covid when I didn't bend the knee for George Floyd. Supposed human rights activists got pretty cruel towards me very quickly.
Serena has always been a very humble Champion, true winner. I always enjoyed watching her play, her support negates the woke negatives by other WNBA players.
What the hell are you talking about “mentorship”? Sabrina pretty much said “keep it up” while being interviewed. That’s not a mentorship.
If they keep treating Clark like this I absolutely will boycott the racist WNBA. It’s just pure jealousy and it makes the league look petty and quite frankly pathetic.
Why is she Jackie Robinson? There have been a large number of beloved white players in the league since its inception. Many are considered some of the game's greatest players. Five of the Fever's current 12 players are white. You can't trail-blaze a well worn path.
It doesn't matter how good she is or how much she brings to the WNBA. She is white and straight. You know, natural and talented and that can't be tolerated. Good on Serena Williams. Many thanks from us average people.
If she is so good then why wasn't she picked for Olympics? Because of politics? White? Not a lesbian?
I like basketball, but I’ve never watched it, June 16 would be my very first WNBA that I will watch an entirety
Anybody not think that is just what they are doing.....getting better crowd numbers by building this rivalry.everyone loves a David and Goliath story line.
Do we think Serena is just doing this service for Ms. Clark out of the kindness of her heart, or might it be in conjunction with her Husband who is highjly invested in Female Professional Sports, Media, and representation.
Willing to keep up with CC ' s stats and rooting for her, but the WBNA and Olympic team has ruined their chance of my support.
American culture is getting really bad. You don’t see such kind of racism in Europe . She should play for other country’s teams
Too wordy and repetitive. Get to the point. It's simple, yet you belabor it with the obvious.
Here’s what all the haters and negative attention are doing to CC - it’s MAKING her a better player today and tomorrow. They think it’s going to demoralize her but it’s building her up, and they don’t even realize it.
Adversity may take Clark out on a given game now and then but they will never separate her from the spirit of the game.
My wife originally is from Iowa. We are both approaching our seventies and never been stick & ball fans. We caught the Fever and seldom miss a game on tv.
I am black and I stopped watching any basketball due to all the lame lying social causes. However, I will watch a game with Caitlin. I refused to buy Nike but will buy something else she endorses.
😮😮I simply don’t understand the women who are jealous and hateful toward other women who succeed. Men are brothers, women compete.
Clark is amazing. I was a good player as a kid. I had a very good jump & catch passes let alone rebounding but I couldn't shoot to save my life. Everybody else in the team did that job from outside the key but I had no competition inside the key. I even outscored all of them but I was under the ring, not outside the key & I had no real competition.
I love watching CC as much as the next person. To be fair, look at how Jewell Loyd also gets banged on the court. Its a bully league. And also to be fair, CC is taking it on the chin and holding up quite well. It won't be long before a lot of good players will be wanting to sign with the Fever to play with CC and win championships.
were here talking about the WNBA early in their season while the NBA finals are happening... because of Caitlin Clark... the only difference between obscurity and headlines is her spark she's added to the league.
