- Caitlin Clark has Responded to Diana Taurasi's Claims that she would find it hard to adjust to The WNBA atmosphere. Diana Taurasi said WNBA is not like college basketball where Clark was playing against 18 year olds. By having the best performance in the Indiana Fever vs Dallas Wings Preseason game, Caitlin Clark seem to have given Diana Taurasi the best response. Actions speak louder than words.

Taurasi should have just kept her mouth shut and wished Caitlin the best of luck.
Yup,agreed! The only way Taurasi's words made sense is if they were meant to create a buzz,or hype FOR Caitlin Clark (much like what they call "heat" in WWE). Like any other sports league,the WNBA needs some fierce rivalries-and,even though the Fever and Mercury arent in the same conference,the WNBA audience is usually younger,more age-conscious and more social media-savvy than in most sports leagues. This will turn into "Gen Z shuts the Boomers up AGAIN" (the irony being that Taurasi is still only 41,which makes her a Millennial)
That's not who that Skank is. Tarausi is a MASSIVELY butthurt individual. She's ate up with jealousy. Because she's been playing in the WNBA (Wokester National BullDy*ke Association) for 20 years and nobody knew who she was until she started hating on Clark.
Agreed. And they really should hope Caitlin is successful, as that would help the league become more profitable, which it currently is not. Being profitable is good for all of the players. It makes higher salaries and perks possible.
I have seen some WNBA players complain about their leagues low salaries. But WNBA is perpetually unprofitable. They are lucky to have jobs at all.
Diana should probably focus on her own game... her team was 9-31 last season. Not really a good place to be throwing shade from...
How many of you only heard of Diana Taurasi because of Caitlin Clark?
lol.
No joke
She was awesome in college as well. U conn had undefeated seasons with her I believe and some 🏆's. Still, she could be a little supportive.
@@jasonhawn1908that last sentence 👏. She definitely won one in her senior year,2004, and,if I'm not mistaken,another in either 2001 or '02
Exactly, and Reese would be another person no one would've heard of if not for Caitlin. They should both have to pay Caitlin.
Diana Tyrannosaurus is bitter because Caitlin is up-and-coming and she has one foot out the door
The CC wave is unstoppable. ❤️❤️
😂
😂😂
Both of the foot are already out the door
the funny thing is Taurasi thought the WNBA had fans before now lol
The women of the WNBA should be glad that Clark has arrived. Now people will actually watch the WNBA.
Oh Yes. So many new fans never knew the older players. Clark has saved the day.
@@dualrays WNBA play to empty arenas, now the players get to experience playing in full-packed arenas again - at least the dalaas and indiana players. i bet the next indiana game will be packed again.
First game I have ever watched was a Clark exhibition game. Clark's team lost, but she made more points than anyone.
THANK YOU…. So true…
@@dualrays ok may be hot right now but WNBA still gonna lose money. This won't last long term.
Caitlyn score on her first wnba game more that Taurasi avg per game in the entire career .
SCISSOR me Timbers Taurasi, that’s a stat that rubs bellow the belt!
Thank you ❤️
Boom 💥
You have said nothing
I'll be honest, I never new who Mr. Taurasi was (and still don't) but I certainly know who Caitlin Clarke is.....hmm! The future GOAT of the WNBA.
Mr. Taurisi needs to stop being a racist hater towards the great white Wonder Woman that is now the face of the WNBA.
Message to Mr. Taurasi............reality is here sir. Lose sleep and carry your hate. CC is now going to make you more the ignorant racist that you are and you can't do anything about it..........
You're done! I will never remember your name because I don't know who you are so shut your mouth before you continue to embarrass yourself.
I don’t think Taurasi understands how strong and tall this young woman is Clark is different she’s amazing
They will meet on June 30. Mark your calendar 💙
Taurasi's opinion is in no way objective, it's simply an expression of hate and jealousy.
Taurasi is white privileged to!
@@Steve-yr5vi facts
Did I see it, Caitlin passed the ball through the defenders legs? Caitlin is the real deal. Can't wait for here shoes to hit the market.
It's a new dawn ❤️❤️
@@dualraysI don’t know for who the sheep’s who follow anything on social media
I'm a Chicago guy, who never liked anything Indiana. I just got a Fever. Lol Wishing all the Women in the WNBA A GREAT YEAR. GO Caitlin Go.
Me too. I liked her at Iowa and like her at Indiana. Both are states I wouldn’t otherwise root for their sports teams.
It seems Clark’s learning curve is a straight line… Lol
Thank you 🤣
Have you ever sold out a pre season game, Taurasi? 😂😂😂
Whoa!!! Sold out with only about 7,500 fans in attendance. Watch out!!!
White
Straight
Christian
Nothing fake
No ink
Looks like a woman
She’s not the norm in the league
Best part “SHE CAN FING BALL”
Plays like a woman, no stupid unnecessary sleeves on her arms or legs
Glad she checks all your boxes .
Caitlin plans on getting tattoos. She mentioned it during her sophomore year at Iowa, but her dad would not let her.
Mid-west IA values
i like how the first word was WHITE , that’s all that matters to white folks
No wonder the grown women's league is having trouble if some little chick used to playing 18 year olds can come in and shows them how it's done.
Diana Taurasi- WNBA 'legend' ???? Her Caitlin Clark 'walkbacks' WILL be legendary however.
Id DT were playing as an up and coming player in college day's. She may of been a game changer. DT is just out of her time and just should accept it's a different time and social media is want going to drive fame not the score card.
She looked entirely comfortable… looks like “grown women” as some said didn’t matter.
Thank you 😄
You think she looked comfortable??? Lmao 😂😂 y’all aren’t watching the same game
if they was to check the status sheet numbers don't lie I watched the game it look like to me Caitlin Clark played with the same energy and passion she displayed at Iowa
Yes! Diana was only seeking an audience may be.
Thank you Caitlin. I actually watched some of that game and I never even watched one second before.
Welcome to women basketball. Welcome to team Caitlin Clark
Caitlyn should send a pair of her new Nike autographed shoes, to Diana as a gift ! ⛹️
Will she accept the gift 😃😃
Hell yeah!
And gift her a new jock strap!!
She should just ignore that hater!
Nah don't those shoes would be worth alot of money 😂😂😂
The attention that Clark is bringing to that league should be appreciated by these jealous players.
Reality is coming for Diana Taurasi.
❤️❤️
Saying playing against grown women is such a cringe statement considering most women players play against Men in practice.
what makes a person a legend in the wnba. is it she shot the most airballs that year, or hitting the backboard the most times. legend in the wnba. they didnt have a legend in wnba until caitlin clark played her first game a few days ago, its time for diana tgtf off the courts. Legends in wnba is caitlin clark.
Diana may be approaching her retirement age. So, some publicity through CC could help her 😄.
The only ways of being known in the WMBA are making fun of CC or getting arrested in Russia.
@@stepaukobtrue dat🤣
Yeah, between this and the whole thing with not playing defense and having Skylar Diggins call her out on it,you gotta ask,is Diana Taurasi ok?
Women’s sports are not like men’s sports. The talent from college to pros is nil. It’s the same just the pros are older. The women of the WNBA better be praising her for bring excitement to your boring game. You women haven’t ever been able to sell out anything. Everywhere Clark goes she sells out.
Absolutely! CC to the world ❤️❤️
I think you're right. The difference between the best college men and the NBA is pretty huge. I think a game between the best college women's team and an average WNBA team would pretty competitive. The worst professional NBA men's team would destroy the best NCAA men's team. I don't believe that would be the case with the women. The professional women are better than the college but I don't think they're that much better than the best female college players. Women also reach their physical peak at a younger age than men.
Clark was a blink away from 30 points. Not to mention, 5 DIMES were fumbled by post players. Caitlin is the real deal!
Absolutely. CC22 is truly a great player. Women basketball is about to claim it's rightful position and it is because of her.
Could’ve easily drained for 30 pts. All this with no wingmen to help, nor an effective frontline output. This team needs to get their act together before regular season starts.
Boston looked terrible
She had 21and they lost
@@mrrrmickey007speedy Dallas guard Arike had that game sealing 3 pointer at the end
Shit if they hadn't double teamed here with those grown women she would have over 30 points.
CC is just 🔥🔥
Diana Taurasi and Scott Van Pelt gonne be eating some humble pie.
If you don't get that Van Pelt reference look up Taurasi's video where she said, reality os coming and Van Pelt sat there laughing like an idiot.
What they were foreseeing will never happen. CC is on another level.
In her face..CC….the naysayers…are all jealous and old school….yes it is going to be tough and an adjustment…but just focus and do your best…with the God-given talent you have!! Let the cards play as they may !! Good luck!
I totally agree!
Looking forward to watching all the games this year except the ones with Diana in them as I will boycott her at all times from here on out.
Thank you 😄😄
If playing in college is like playing with kindergartners, why didn't she put numbers like Caitin's?
Do you know who Taurasi is, and what she's done in her career? Have you seen her in college? These comments are crazy. Clark stats don't even compare to Taurasi stats, college or pro.
Clark gave up a guaranteed $15 million for 20 games to play in a league that didn't even want her there for peanuts. She did more for this league in 3 months than anyone else in the entire history of the league.
I think the most impressive thing about Clark's performance was the way she handled the point guard duties besides the shooting or scoring. It was just an preseason game but she proved she can play the point guard position.
Loved watching Caitlin Clark !!
Thanks you ❤️
I still dont see how Taurasi remarks were wrong. She just said "is not going to be that easy for rookies" game is way faster and more demanding. Clark did good but notice how she scored 16 out of her 21 points in the first half and her coach said she was "totally exhausted" the last 5 minutes.
What is amazing people still making the game about Clark when you saw one of the best finishes in WNBA preseason by Arike
It don’t fit the narrative there tryna spin
Marketing...and remember,it's ESPN. All they do is play favorites now,and pander to the teams and players with the largest fan bases
Jealous People That Don’t Have The Complete Goods As Clark Exhibits. Hoping The Whole Team Does Well.
We hope for greater things this season. Thank you ❤️

@@okedoke1234 I Have My 2 Phones Set Up This Way So Family & Friends Know Exactly Its Me. Thats All.👍
@@dallasweber7692 that is a damn good idea. Thanks.
Caitlin has major Jedi powers. May the fourth be with you!
Thank you ❤️
Clark Is Off The Charts.👍
Absolutely 😅😅❤️
I have never watched a WNBA game let alone a preseason game, & it was fun. I went to Ebay and bought up a few of her rookie cards. Winning!
Thank you ❤️❤️
To be fair one preseason game isn’t proving the world wrong but she is picking up where she left off and I am seeing the same dominance translate and loving what Im seeing so far. Still think there will be a learning curve where she will adjust and get to an all time great level
I can't wait to see her dominate like she did in the NCAA
Where Taurasi sees grown women, Clark sees old ladies. 😁 My primary concern at this time is that they make her shoes in men's sizes. I want to wear 'em. .
Dinosaur Diana has to be cut from the OLYMPIC TEAM!
😄😄
Or just serve as a coach
I’ve always had a funny feeling about Ms Taurasi now we all know why.
She played well The foul at the end of the game, the defender went through her arms to get to the ball. Looked like a foul. Fever should have been up by two. She is fun to watch. Thank you.
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Negativity never does anyone any good. Clark rocks and she proved it. Good for her.
I remember DT, Sue Bird and others from the UCONN dynasty days. She was good. Twenty years ago. Let's see how a 'seasoned professional ' with 40 year old legs does against a younger much quicker rookie.
Caitlin Clark is legend - Her bowman rookie cards worth at least more than 20 times of any player WNBA cards. I only check out Caitlin Clark games in WNBA, the rest I don't care. I live in Vegas, and i heard of the WNBA team in Vegas won WNBA champs 2 in the row. The game between Indiana Fever vs Las Vegas Aces minimum price Ticket at 120$ or much more this year 2024, while other games betweem Las Vegas Aces vs others only 7-8$ and nobody buy it... YOU GUYS MUST KNOW how big CAITLIN CLARK is !!!!
I got a fever! And the only prescription is more cowbell and Caitlin Clark!😂
❤️❤️
We'll see CC and DT on June 28! No predictions on how that game would be played.
Mark you it will be a regular WNBA game. 😄
I am concerned that Clark could wear down because of no real break between seasons. It could take a toll. She goes from the pressure-cooker of the highest levels of NCAA Division I play to the pros. Plus there is all the media glare. If she overcomes all this, she is super-human. A girl from West Des Moines Iowa!
Absolutely! WNBA spotlight is on her.
I have seen plenty of current WNBA players that could not even hit the board within 10 feet.
I have seen more air balls by some of these girls makes me ask, how did they get on the team?
These women always complaining just be happy this young woman is bringing more eyes to the WNBA
DT is eating crow right now hahaha 🤣
Catlin Clark is the best thing that ever happend to this league.
Taurasi is one of the top three greatest, if not THE greatest female pro basketball player EVER.
SHE has won the WNBA Rookie of the Year Award (2004), three WNBA championships (2007, 2009, and 2014), a historic five Olympic gold medals (2004, 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2020), one WNBA Most Valuable Player Award (2009), two WNBA Finals MVP Awards (2009 and 2014), five scoring titles (2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011), and three FIBA World Cups (2010, 2014, and 2018). She has also been selected to ten WNBA All-Star teams and fourteen All-WNBA teams (including ten first-team selections). In 2011, she was voted by fans as one of the WNBA's Top 15 Players of All Time, and was named by the league to its 20th and 25th anniversary teams, respectively the WNBA Top 20@20 in 2016 and The W25 in 2021. Also in 2021, she was selected by fans as the league's greatest player of all time. On June 18, 2017, Taurasi became the WNBA all-time leading scorer and on June 27, 2021, became the first player to surpass 9,000 points. On August 3, 2023, Taurasi became the first player to score 10,000 career points. Her penchant for scoring in crucial situations has earned her the nickname "White Mamba", coined by Kobe Bryant. Taurasi is one of 11 women to win an Olympic gold medal, an NCAA Championship, a FIBA World Cup, and a WNBA Championship. OH, and let's not forget that she won THREE NCAA TITLES (2002-2004).
Oh, can I pile up a bunch more facts to increase the TRUTH that Taurasi was saying??
6× EuroLeague champion (2007-2010, 2013, 2016)
7× Russian National League champion (2007, 2008, 2013-2017)
3× Russian Cup winner (2013-2014, 2017)
3× Russian League Player of the Year (2007, 2008, 2009)
Turkish National League champion (2011)
Turkish Cup winner (2012)
Now, compare that with Caitlan: Greatest college scorer of all time. ZERO NCAA TITLES.
Diana Taurasi is talking from EXPERIENCE, while pipe dreamers like Dual Rays and your ilk are just that: DREAMING ABOUT A FUTURE THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED YET. Taurasi has been there, done that...and she KNOWS BETTER THAN ANYONE IN BASKETBALL, male or female, what it takes to make it in the WNBA. Hell, she knows better than anyone, male or female, what it takes TO WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS. And you actually THINK a pre-season game that Clarke scored 21 points...negates the TRUTH that Taurasi stated??.......Not.
The best thing Kaitlyn can do is let her performance on the court speak for her.
Clarke is a brilliant player and charismatic. She will crush it and my bet would be not only ROY but she will finish top 10 for MVP.
May God watch over all the Women's Basketball teams, not one serious injuries 🙏
FINALLY TALENT IS COMING INTO THE LEAGUE. When talent arrives and their game gets better hopefully the fans will show up. If you give them a BETTER PRODUCT, THEY WILL SHOW UP!
What is with these WNBA current and former players badmouthing Clark every chance they get? Like she's the first player out of college to have to adjust to pro ball. Clark is putting women's ball on the map and is the reason The Fever's road games will all be sell outs as opposed to playing in front of 3,000 fans with half of those tickets given out for free.
Her vs Sabrina Ionescu thats show down i want to see, by the way thats the NY Liberty for those who dont know the names of these WNBA teams or the players.
People will learn with time😄. Thank you. ❤️
Yup. As a Liberty fan,this is gonna be THE rivalry in the WNBA. CC can get the accolades,as long as Sab and NY can (finally) get some 🏆's
Unlike the NBA and college, the WNBA and college play under the same rules. The transition between the two leagues is way easier in the women's game.
Clark is a great offensive player, but she needs to work on her defense. Got in foul trouble early. Can't be a difference maker if you are on the bench and they needed her in the second half but was on the bench most of the time. She will do great things in the wnba.
It was an exhibition/practice game. Part of the goal was to get a look at every player. WNBA players are supposed to be the cream of the crop. There are only 144 spots for cripes sake. They aren’t counting on her to be on the floor every minute. The rest of the team has to carry weight too. The coach even said that in the press conference.
People Just Hate How Good She Really is! That is Why She Is Getting All The Love She Is Getting! I Love Her Game and the Positives Going With It! She Elevates the Game Like No Other! One Word Jealousy!
I watched this game on TH-cam, Clark played great, others played good. Guard play on both sides pretty much did their job. The big girl play not so much.way too many missed bunny shots. It was hard to watch. What got me was the who they picked to announce the game. Who put out more crap and dislike on Clark than anyone? Yep, Swoops, they had her giving a glowing account of the Wings with a hint of hatred for Clark.
I didn't notice that. Is she in the hate league of the older players too 😅😅
I get it Clark is an amazing 3 point shooter, but do you know who Taurasi is, and what she's done in her career? Have you seen her in college? These comments are crazy. Clark stats don't even compare to Taurasi stats, college or pro. The season haven't even started yet.
Because of Caitlin Clark they’re all going to make more money. They should be thanking her. Personally I think she will be schooling these “grown women” fairly quickly.
I remember when the wnba first started with women like lisa leslie and rebecca lobo. I watched a few games but lost interest. I watched highlights of Caitlin's first preseason game and was blown away. The hype is real. She deserves the attention she gets. Its sad her fellow wnba players are showing jealously when they should lift her up like they do for others because Clark has real potential to bring more eyes to the wnba which can bring more $ for the league which means more $ for the players.
I’ll leave this quote for all the WNBA legends, stars, and veterans…
"We are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters"
- Grand Jedi Master Yota
Caitlin shooting 40% from the floor is considered excellent??? 38% from 3pt line???
There was over 20 WNBA players shot 40% or better from the 3pt line last year.
It is a nice start ...but great??? No!!+
Good job Caitlan. The other girls don't need to hate.
Idk why they are giving her such a hard time. Jealousy is an illness
these female players that has been playing in the wnba are jealous because its because of caitlin that people are starting to watch the wnba a little more. i have yet see any of the other female players go to the nba all star game and make an impression like caitlin did when she went up against a really good 3 point shoot, steph curry, and almost won against him. so as the taylor swift song goes, "haters gonna hate, hate, hate..."
Ok. How about now? In her first professional game Clark gave up 10 turnovers. Scored 20 (six being free throws). Her team lost by over 20 points. Wow. Those are MVP numbers.
Clark is probably to wnba what tiger was to golf. Just let it be. She's just playing her game.
Diana Taurasi put her foot in her mouth. Quit being a hater.
She will have to get used to CC 😄
I watched the whole segment and did not see any hate
Maybe Taurasi is smarter than you think because she knew what she was saying and the reaction it would get. The great thing about what she said would rile up people and make them go buy tickets for that game when they play each other. It’s an old wrestlers move who talk 💩 just so you buy the tickets to see them. Well played Taurasi, well played.
Caitlin Clark for president 2024!!! Some athletes who are often considered among the greatest of all time include Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, Serena Williams, and Usain Bolt, to name just a few however Caitlin Clark is the best athlete ever ask any white GOP male. I know who I'm voting for - Caitlin Clark!
Let her show the world what basketball is first ❤️. Anyway, Clark is just amazing.
If the woman stands head and shoulders above college competition, that means she's going to perform excellently when entering into the WNBA Now, that doesn't mean she's going to perform as well as she is after let's say 4 or 5 seasons but, She was an extreme standoat, a high level of competition which means she's at minimum. Going to be a decent standout at the professional level.
Well it's obvious who's new to the game of Basketball....But old to the game of selective hearing.lol
I believe Diane Taurasi who is currently tied for the most 40 pt games in WNBA history.... also said that GREATNESS transcends to the pro level and Caitlin will be no different.
That's one hell of a compliment! coming from the GREATEST WNBA Player that ever lived.
Taking nothing away from Caitlin's performance that was very impressive for rookie in their first game.... Probably the most impressive rookie start ever.
I wonder if MJ and Kobe Bryant would have been impressed by a LeBron James 21pt game LOSS in the PRESEASON? THE PRESEASON? That's like PRACTICE!😂
We talking about 21pts in PRACTICE not the REGULAR SEASON! PRACTICE! NOT REGULAR NOT REGULAR.
PRACTICE??? WOW😂
Now they are saying “oh this is pre season, wait until the real season starts.”
They were double teaming her and getting pretty physical with her to the point where she just got really gassed. Even with all this and it being her very first pro game, she still scored 21 points. This is going to continue so if her body holds up I guess she will be forged in fire and be forced to get really good. I think she will be fine.
If they keep focusing hard on Caitlin Clark it also may free up and enable some of the others on her team to get in there and score some points. Kaitlyn Clark is not going to stop being targeted. Apparently she can still score points after those conditions.
They lost…this is a team sport. The team lost. The result did not change because of clark. Just like at Iowa. This is a team sport. The TEAM lost
Nothing wrong with DT throwing a little judgment. Not sure if it jealous or just a warning to be ready for wnba since your the next big thing and future face of wnba.
Big fan of DT and Clark.
So y’all acting like she ain’t have 4 fouls cause he defense sucks and like 90% of her points was in the first half only had like 5 in the 2nd half
Jealousy Taurasi will get you in big trouble.
I support the Pacers and the Fever now. Is time for a musical theme for Caitlin Clark.
Taurasi can’t hold a candle to Clark and she knows it. The loudest people in the room are the weakest.
Caitlin did good against the pros
Absolutely. Thank you so much!
I don't watch WNBA, but I sure will root for Caitlin Clark to do well, to shut up all haters. Clark hasn't said anything, and they hatin' on her.
Diana being a bitter older woman is what it boils down to. Win more than 9 games and then talk the talk
WNBA doesn't have enough talent to substantiate any of them judging others. Maybe, if the wnba can support themselves without subsidies- then people might take what they have to say seriously. If Caitlin can help the wnba become self- sustaining, more power to her.
I don’t know why all these former players are so hating on Caitlin.
Facts. The season is long I’m team Tarase
While I love Caitlin....I think she needs to expect that the attention she has gotten from college will be different now that she is a pro. In college it was okay to lose but be the most talented player on the court...but at the WNBA level...she's playing against women who have all been the most talented person on the court in college. Diana Turasi was a beast in college...she is a multiple times champion and leading scorer. She was one of the biggest and brightest talents to enter into the league when she entered the WNBA. Instead of seeing this as an OG hating on the new "face of the league" player.....Diana is trying to put Caitlin on game.....the attention is nice now but if she doesn't win and be dominant then the same people who have dubbed her the face of the league will be treating her the same way ya'll are treating Diana right now. Food for thought....
it's was a pre season game. Nothing in this game matters.
😄❤️
What matters is CC can still light it up against grown wnba pros & proving DT wrong.
Whoooooooooshhh
That comment was an air ball.
Taurasi should now back up and admit she had no idea just how good Clark is, and welcome her to the league. Always take the
High road, anything else makes you look petty! The high road makes you look like a mature professional and a model player.
Caitlin should not respond, vocally to her critics. She should let her game be her response.
I'll never understand why so many of the WNBA players are jealous & hateful towards Clark. She is exactly what they need! She is bring excitement & fans to the WNBA, the money will follow & they should all be happy about that since they want "equal" pay to the men
I'm a guy in his late 60s and would not waste time watching the WNBA, but now that Clark has joined I would watch her play just so the jealous brood of vipers will shut up. Go win, Caitlin!
They R jealous! Y not give her props? Why not wish her well? She is the real deal…..
Love how Diana lives rent free in ya minds! 😂😂😂 Diana is not jealous… she got her awards, rings and medals…. people calling her a hater and ya doing the same shit to her… unbelievable…
Thank you 😄😄
