There's a reason. The WNBA was losing money before CC, and the players also demanded profit sharing like the NBA got. And when someone did a breakdown, it turned out each WNBA player owed the league $83k/year to keep it afloat.
How many records has Molly Qerim broken in her tenure in the LNBA? That’s what I thought. Qerim is ridiculous for making such idiotic statements about Clark.
I find it insulting to CC that people keep comparing her to AR. The latter advantage is that she is tall, so she rebounds her own misses. CC on the other hand is a supet star. She shoots 3 pointers with amazing precision. Her passes are out of this world. Her ball handling and fakes and drives are second to none. She even steals and blocks and rebounds although not very tall. Without doubt she is the best player in the history of WNBA. Anyone who says otherwise does not understand the game or basketball.
@doksh5740 >…insulting to CC …comparing her to AR. I concur. >The latter … rebounds her own misses. That’s a fair criticism. And It’s true that AR is nowhere near on level with CC. But to be fair, Reese is an elite rebounder that does more than just rebound her own misses. >CC on the other hand is a super star. Undeniably true. >She shoots 3 pointers with amazing precision. Actually, her precision is average (35%). It’s her range that is amazing. Lexie Hull shoots with amazing precision (49%), albeit with much less range and largely due to the advantageous opportunities created by CC22. >Her passes are out of this world. Greatest passer in the history of women’s basketball. Better (though not more powerful) than many of the men in the NBA. >Her ball handling and fakes and drives are second to none.

Still to many turnovers. >She even steals and blocks Very sneaky defender. And adept at quickly converting such opportunities into fast break points. A major strength of her game. However, not a particularly good half court defender. More on that later. >rebounds although not very tall. But not short either. 6’0” is average in the WNBA. Best rebounding guard in the league. I suspect she may very well be the best rebounding guard of all time before she’s done. >Without doubt she is the best player in the history of WNBA. No. Not yet. Without a doubt not yet. A GOAT? Yes. The greatest rookie ever? Certainly. But THE GOAT? No. Not yet. Let me ask you this, with her team down by two points (70-72) with one minute to go while facing the defending champions, and finally getting a clean look at a three pointer to take the lead, would THE GOAT miss? That’s exactly what happened against the Aces last Friday. Don’t get me wrong. I love CC, for her strength of character, her game, and just who she is as both a player and a person. But she’s not THE GOAT. Not yet. In fact, she is not even the best player in the game today (that would be A’ja Wilson). Not Yet. I believe she will be one day. One day soon. But not yet. In 1986, Michael Jordan was not the best player in the NBA. That would be either Magic or Larry. When assessing who is best, we have to take everything into account. CC is an average defender. Sneaky with her steals and blocks, for sure. But weak in the half court set. I think it’s unfair to call her a defensive liability, but not exceptional. That’s a fact. That said, I believe CC22 knows this. And she will work tirelessly to improve this weakness in her game. I believe that, before she is done, CC will be named all-defense multiple time. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if she wins DPoY at some point in her career. And then, there is all those turnovers … >Anyone who says otherwise does not understand the game or basketball. This statement reveals your bias. If you truly believe that Caitlin Clark, as the player she is today, is the greatest of all time, then it is you who do not understand the game of basketball.
@@theevermindYou literally took the words out of my mouth.. I don't think she should be fired for being a hater.. But she should certainly be fired for incompetence. And I'm all for having eye candy on the show.. But if that's why she's there.. Well, you could do a LOT better than her.. woof woof
Sheryl Swoopes was like… you should have to break the record in the same amount of time… now she’s like, you should break records in less than the previous amount of time unless you look like me.
CC was invited to the us team camp. CCs numbers at that point Definitely deserved and earned a roster spot! CCs numbers were better than 2 of the roster members Fact
Racism should not be allowed any where. This is not a white or black, brown, yellow world, God made Humans, this is a Human world everyone was made equal. Racism is the Devils work.
I still don't understand why you people put Angel Reese's name alongside of Caitlin Clark Angel wreath doesn't know anything about being a good basketball player her name should never be close to Clark's
Molly makes bad takes all of the time. This wasn’t her worst take and won’t be her last bad take. She just keeps making them thinking that her opinion has any weight. 😂
@@MikeHunt700 As evidenced by Molly's inability to defend her statement that giving CC a roster spot on the Olympic games would 1. HURT the game; and 2. make a mockery out of the WNBA. She is obviously being fed her lines. Which makes a mockery out of having female sports commentators.
Saying the other countries weren’t up to par is a bit of a stretch. The U.S. beat the French in the final by 1 point. Luckily Diana Taurasi was there as she averaged 1 pt per game.
Still waiting for Diana to admit she didn't belong there and to admit her comments of reality is coming didn't happen everyone knows CC should of ben there and for Diana to talk shit about a rookie who is better then her when she went there young is a disgrace you went knowing you didn't deserve it but you had to get the 6th. Let's not kid anyone is wasn't because of you. If your proud of that I'm happy for you. You have to live with it

I don't have an issue with Miss Clark not making the Olympic team, because I don't know the criteria and timings of the selection process, even without considering how "new" she was to this level of competition. What I do have an issue with is how they've since addressed Miss Clark within the league, and some of the other selections that seemed a little more 'political' than for the strongest team. What I also have an issue with is some of the dumb-ass, racist and/or hateful comments made about a young woman who is, potentially, going to be one of the best players, ever!
CAITLIN CLARK FANS ARE NOT RACIST: I'm a Caitlin Clark fan. I love her game and her humility. A lot of the WOKE Fans, sports media and black Women in the WNBA, including Sheryl Swoopes, are the RACIST Ones. They HATE Caitlin because she is White, Straight, and she can ball.

I am a diehard New Yorker I root for New York in all sports! never really cared for the WNBA but I watch it now because of Caitlin Clark! I have to admit I am an Indiana fever fan!
Keeping Clark off the Olympic team, was like keeping Jim Thorpe out of the 1912 Olympic Games...just plain stupid beyond words...but then again, isn't both jealousy and racism exactly that, just plain stupid!
What is this Molly person doing on a sports channel? She certainly doesn't know anything about basketball. Somebody ought to investigate who hired her and why!
There was no compelling reason for me to watch the WNBA until Caitlin Clark. The WNBA refuses to acknowledge and embrace a game changing league savior.
Don't care about the Olympic snub. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise for the Fever as it gave them time to work on team chemistry and strategy. Result: a playoff spot since 2016 and an avalanche of records.
This jealousy and saying they deserve the money deals is just showing how little these players understand . Educate yourselves and conducting business transactions has nothing to do with deserves . Understanding marketing about timing , presentation and appeal is what companies look at . Caitlin not only had Nike as their face for them to acquire but many companies . Clark turned down offers as much as she accepted . Deserved never entered her head but confident in herself as a sure fire product just didn’t happen but began years earlier. That’s why no 5 th year in college because timing was now ! She hit top of her marketing cycle from college and knew it . Very smart young lady and understood marketing . Kudos to her for being highly prepared to negotiate with several opportunities at one time . Caitlin wasn’t just confident but certain about her business position . Obviously these WNBA players haven’t a clue of what Nike or Wilson or State Farm wanted from a girl to be a leading face for their companies millions in endorsements. Deserving has nothing to do with it !
Molly, i'm sure this comment will leave you wanting, but you are the poster child for this phrase: 'Tis far better to be quiet and be thought a fool, than to speak up and remove all doubt'.
Molly. Deserves have nothing to do with anything . Do you think Nike gives a damn about deserves ? Nike cares only for Nike and Caitlin understands this totally. You and others in league do not understand and that’s why Nike picked Clark because she knows what is expected of her .
Molly is not on First Take for her in depth sports analysis. She's not there for analysis of any type on any subject. Sorry but true. The only guards on the US team fit to be mentioned along with CC were Sabrina and Copper and neither of them is a true point guard. Full stop.
The best thing that happened to Clark was not being selected for the Olympic team. She got much needed rest and worked with the rest of her team to improve her and the team’s play. She has been on a tear, ever since.
The only thing MOLLY knows about sport is that MJ is the GOAT. She is not an analyst, she is only a moderator. The worst is that she comes and say "oh, it was that I was giving chance to other players to make the team". Media, people, understand MOLLY IS NOT A SPORT ANALYST, FOR 10 years she is just a moderator.
Molly just asks questions on the show, doesn’t have any sports experience, and is attempting to protect other players. If Clark was black she would never criticize her. She’s not worth paying attention to as she has no credibility and is looking foolish now.
That's too bad. Many people respected Molly's game when she played and dropped 30+ and used to be the all-time assist leader! Molly was such a competitor!
I love watching CC show us class and talent. In addition, I learn who the haters, racists, jealous, and ignorant people are in the wnba, sportscasting, and ESPN network. The wnba has been great entertainment the past few months. Before CC joined the wnba, I did not know they even existed. Thank you wnba.
I am a big Clark fan. Huge talent. Huge BB IQ, great shooter, great passer, good rebounder, decent in team defence, however at this point in her career, not a great on ball one on one defender and early in the season a terrible turn over rate. I don't have big problem with her not being selected for the Olympic team. Yes she could easily have been on the team, however there are hard choices to make and they were made. Would she have made the team better? I think the answer yes on the offensive end. ONe the defensive end I thin she wouls have been a liability. Would that have mattered ... I am not sure. IN hindsight the way her game imrpoved she likely should have been on the team, but no one could really predict how fast she would adapt to the WNBA game. I would say this, even when you look at the original mean;s dream team, they likely didn't make all the right selections purely from a basketball perspective not a marketing perspective. A few selected were well past their prime and/or recovering from injury and better players were left off the team.
One more thing Turasi has never had a triple double! Zero in her entire career!!!!!! CC should have 3 triple doubles but has 2. Great but 3 is better. Sides kept CC on the bench with 1 rebound from her first triple double. True story
It is always forgotten, that the first few month of a rookie in the WNBA is not only the standard if a player should be on Team USA and has not been the only standard. Players have been on Team USA because of their college carrier. But there is a third point, that is that players have played on the under 16, 17 or 19 Team USA and done the world cup. Caitlin played once on the under 16 team and twice on the under 19. Every time cold and on her last appearance tournament MVP. That Caitlin did not start her rookie year well enough, is just a lame excuse.
On the Flipside: Molly gambled, hoping her take would come to fruition and she'd have an "I TOLD SO" party. Props for her not jumping on the bandwagon. She just now has to deal with all the backlashes.
If you think leaving Caitlin off the Olympic Team was a big error, wait until you see the TV ratings for the rest of he playoffs and it's all because the game officials didn't enforce the rules.
Was it a distraction for the first Olympic All-Pro American Olympic dream team with Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson getting all the attention. What a sad and pathetic coming from a bunch of black ESPN commentators. Then they want to talk about giving praise also to the people who laid the groundwork for the wnba. They got their shine back in the day why do we have to give them shine today when we talked about giving Caitlin Clark well-deserved shine. Every time Steven a or Shay Shay want to praise Caitlyn Clark before they do they got to bring up Sheryl swoopes and what she did 25 years ago.
When comparing CC to Wemby, don't forget one HUGE advantage Wemby has: Basketball is a tall person sport and he's the TALLEST person in the LEAGUE! Can't say the same thing for CC
Yeah but it's interesting how CC is beating even the TALL people's records. You know someone has to pass the ball to those TALL people, since most of them can't bring the ball up the court without it being stolen. Guards are just as important as tall people in BB, but most people just applaud the dunks. That's a very small part of the game, passing and setting up the plays are much more important.
It doesn’t take much to make Molly look stupid.
She does that extremely well on her own.
The Olympic team was beat by the All Star team with Caitlin Clark on the team. They will have to live with that.
Word, I didn’t know that happened
Molly who? Don’t know her! Don’t want to know anything about her. I’m here for Caitlin.
No matter the negative things things said by some players, Caitlin always humble with a reply.😊

I find it insulting to CC that people keep comparing her to AR. The latter advantage is that she is tall, so she rebounds her own misses. CC on the other hand is a supet star. She shoots 3 pointers with amazing precision. Her passes are out of this world. Her ball handling and fakes and drives are second to none. She even steals and blocks and rebounds although not very tall. Without doubt she is the best player in the history of WNBA. Anyone who says otherwise does not understand the game or basketball.

Undeniably true.

Actually, her precision is average (35%). It’s her range that is amazing.
Lexie Hull shoots with amazing precision (49%), albeit with much less range and largely due to the advantageous opportunities created by CC22.
>Her passes are out of this world.
Greatest passer in the history of women’s basketball. Better (though not more powerful) than many of the men in the NBA.
>Her ball handling and fakes and drives are second to none.
Not sure if I agree with that just yet. Phee is pretty good to. There are others. CC still evolving. I believe she will be there one day. And soon. But not yet. Still to many turnovers.
>She even steals and blocks
Very sneaky defender. And adept at quickly converting such opportunities into fast break points. A major strength of her game. However, not a particularly good half court defender. More on that later.

Don't care about the Olympic snub. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise for the Fever as it gave them time to work on team chemistry and strategy. Result: a playoff spot since 2016 and an avalanche of records.
@@alexasuncion764 Absolutely
C.C. is playing basketball like Lionel Messi is playing soccer.
Get rid of Molly
Wasn’t the Olympic attendance that was a fiasco, it was the television viewership lost.
This jealousy and saying they deserve the money deals is just showing how little these players understand . Educate yourselves and conducting business transactions has nothing to do with deserves . Understanding marketing about timing , presentation and appeal is what companies look at . Caitlin not only had Nike as their face for them to acquire but many companies . Clark turned down offers as much as she accepted . Deserved never entered her head but confident in herself as a sure fire product just didn’t happen but began years earlier. That’s why no 5 th year in college because timing was now ! She hit top of her marketing cycle from college and knew it . Very smart young lady and understood marketing . Kudos to her for being highly prepared to negotiate with several opportunities at one time . Caitlin wasn’t just confident but certain about her business position . Obviously these WNBA players haven’t a clue of what Nike or Wilson or State Farm wanted from a girl to be a leading face for their companies millions in endorsements. Deserving has nothing to do with it !
Silencing her haters with her actions instead of words. Drowning out the cynicism with record after record broken
Molly's only experience with sports is taking NBD D. Why does anybody care what she says?
No Catlin No audience 😂😂😂
Molly, i'm sure this comment will leave you wanting, but you are the poster child for this phrase: 'Tis far better to be quiet and be thought a fool, than to speak up and remove all doubt'.
Let's cheer Caitlin to make 9-3s to break all time seasons record and single game record
Molly. Deserves have nothing to do with anything . Do you think Nike gives a damn about deserves ? Nike cares only for Nike and Caitlin understands this totally. You and others in league do not understand and that’s why Nike picked Clark because she knows what is expected of her .
Molly is not on First Take for her in depth sports analysis. She's not there for analysis of any type on any subject. Sorry but true. The only guards on the US team fit to be mentioned along with CC were Sabrina and Copper and neither of them is a true point guard. Full stop.
Caitlin is MVP too. Fire those referres, broadcasters, bad coaches...
The best thing that happened to Clark was not being selected for the Olympic team. She got much needed rest and worked with the rest of her team to improve her and the team’s play. She has been on a tear, ever since.
Classic ignorance being proudly displayed.
LUV U CC STAY STRONG
The only thing MOLLY knows about sport is that MJ is the GOAT. She is not an analyst, she is only a moderator. The worst is that she comes and say "oh, it was that I was giving chance to other players to make the team". Media, people, understand MOLLY IS NOT A SPORT ANALYST, FOR 10 years she is just a moderator.
@@maryortiz5298 She needs to moderate and shut her yap.
Molly just asks questions on the show, doesn’t have any sports experience, and is attempting to protect other players. If Clark was black she would never criticize her. She’s not worth paying attention to as she has no credibility and is looking foolish now.
The woman’s all stars beat the Olympic team with Clark leading the way!
Molly is the epitome of DEI
Molly was right that giving a roster spot to a less deserving player hurt the game. But it turns out that player was Dianasaur Taurasiarus.
CC broke a lot of ankles this season.
That's too bad. Many people respected Molly's game when she played and dropped 30+ and used to be the all-time assist leader! Molly was such a competitor!
Should have fired her immediately
I love watching CC show us class and talent. In addition, I learn who the haters, racists, jealous, and ignorant people are in the wnba, sportscasting, and ESPN network. The wnba has been great entertainment the past few months. Before CC joined the wnba, I did not know they even existed. Thank you wnba.
I am a big Clark fan. Huge talent. Huge BB IQ, great shooter, great passer, good rebounder, decent in team defence, however at this point in her career, not a great on ball one on one defender and early in the season a terrible turn over rate. I don't have big problem with her not being selected for the Olympic team. Yes she could easily have been on the team, however there are hard choices to make and they were made. Would she have made the team better? I think the answer yes on the offensive end. ONe the defensive end I thin she wouls have been a liability. Would that have mattered ... I am not sure. IN hindsight the way her game imrpoved she likely should have been on the team, but no one could really predict how fast she would adapt to the WNBA game. I would say this, even when you look at the original mean;s dream team, they likely didn't make all the right selections purely from a basketball perspective not a marketing perspective. A few selected were well past their prime and/or recovering from injury and better players were left off the team.
Molly is jealous as well.
One more thing
Turasi has never had a triple double!
Zero in her entire career!!!!!!
CC should have 3 triple doubles but has 2.
Great but 3 is better. Sides kept CC on the bench with 1 rebound from her first triple double.
True story
Well we know Sides doesn't deserve being the Fever Coach! She has cost Fever THREE games due to her "protect the lead" stupidity 😢
Molly is the Vana White of sport shows, she is just eye candy that shouldn't talk.
get rid of Molly discusting
Molly worries about her make-up, thats what she knows about.
CC is too talented to be on the olympic team.
It is always forgotten, that the first few month of a rookie in the WNBA is not only the standard if a player should be on Team USA and has not been the only standard. Players have been on Team USA because of their college carrier. But there is a third point, that is that players have played on the under 16, 17 or 19 Team USA and done the world cup. Caitlin played once on the under 16 team and twice on the under 19. Every time cold and on her last appearance tournament MVP.
That Caitlin did not start her rookie year well enough, is just a lame excuse.
On the Flipside: Molly gambled, hoping her take would come to fruition and she'd have an "I TOLD SO" party. Props for her not jumping on the bandwagon. She just now has to deal with all the backlashes.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW who IS PAYING THE REFEREES
Remember that Caitlin ,Reese and others on the WNBA All Stars beat up the USWNT.
See. Gods Angle will win over haters
Sabrina Ionescu and the New York Liberty are putting on a show
Who is Molly by the way? Is she a basketball player or was she just assigned to the position?
CIA Asset
Supposed to be eye candy, but just really old, crusty chocolate.
If you think leaving Caitlin off the Olympic Team was a big error, wait until you see the TV ratings for the rest of he playoffs and it's all because the game officials didn't enforce the rules.
Was it a distraction for the first Olympic All-Pro American Olympic dream team with Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson getting all the attention. What a sad and pathetic coming from a bunch of black ESPN commentators. Then they want to talk about giving praise also to the people who laid the groundwork for the wnba. They got their shine back in the day why do we have to give them shine today when we talked about giving Caitlin Clark well-deserved shine. Every time Steven a or Shay Shay want to praise Caitlyn Clark before they do they got to bring up Sheryl swoopes and what she did 25 years ago.
When comparing CC to Wemby, don't forget one HUGE advantage Wemby has: Basketball is a tall person sport and he's the TALLEST person in the LEAGUE! Can't say the same thing for CC
Yeah but it's interesting how CC is beating even the TALL people's records. You know someone has to pass the ball to those TALL people, since most of them can't bring the ball up the court without it being stolen. Guards are just as important as tall people in BB, but most people just applaud the dunks. That's a very small part of the game, passing and setting up the plays are much more important.
