You didn't win a championship by yourself..its a team sport..the reason she didn't win a championship because she didn't have the weapons that you probably had...thats as simple as that
Let’s not forget that most of them women are lesbians Kaitlyn Clark is not a lesbian and they are picking on her because of the fact that she is not a lesbian, so anyone that says the LGBTQ whatever else they are they are bullies
I'm tired of hearing people doing all this crying and complaining y'all just mad because caitlin hasn't won anything, this was the closest chance to her winning a championship
@@keithwise5894 no high school championship no NCAA championship WNBA championship what part of English don't you understand. The girl has a bunch of empty personal stats that did not translate to winning. Her whole story is her teammates are not as good as her instead of she is not as good as the competition.
It’s sad that this talented young woman has to endure so much hate from women who claim to hate the exact hate they are dishing out! CC22 my advice to you is to leave the WNBA and let them waller in their own demise!
I agree that it would be great to see her stick it to all of the jealous ones by leaving and plunging the WNBA back into obscurity, but I believe her deal with Nike is over the span of 8 years if I'm remembering right. I don't know what the contingencies of that deal is, or if she needs to remain in the WNBA for it. I don't know if the deal still stands if she moves to another league. Either way, we can probably safely assume that the deal is contingent upon her playing basketball throughout that timeframe or at least the majority of it. If anyone has more details on that, I'd be curious to know.
As a woman, i don’t understand why other players are not happy about getting more coverage, maybe more money etc. There is always a top player. Get over it and try harder. Mary
Clarke is only averaging less than Sabrina and plum because her coach is holding her back from shooting her shot. Dictating her shots are wanting her to shoot long twos instead of the threes that she has known for. She’s trying to dictate the threes to be close to the line and Clarke is clearly more comfortable creating space out further than that.
are being limited is why she hasn't won anything yet our game is predictable and the good teams have it figured out already you don't have to argue with me look at the results. See what happens tonight against Seattle.
Doesn't fit the narrative. If pinned down I'm guessing they would say juniors don't count. I guess the big bad internationals only get that way full grown, so much so that none of them have beat the U.S. for gold in 7 straight Olympics.

Taurasi was on a team assembled by a great coach. Everyone wanted to play for UCONN. Long after Taurasi left, UCONN was winning more than any other program.

Diane Taurasi is on the team so she can win her sixth gold medal. It would give them something to talk about . There are other players better than her.
What I don’t understand is that Chelsea grey hasn’t played all year yet she is on the roster. So the idea team USA is putting the best roster together is entirely bs. But whatevs….
Keeping Clark off this year's team helps the WNBA and Taurasi protect her assumed to soon be 6 gold medals. They are playing the long game to better immortalize Taurasi's WNBA legacy. They are ensuring no one playing to date will be able to match this accomplishment. It is disgusting.
DT is jealous. I love basketball and I didn’t even know who she was before this season. To be honest the WNBA is fairly low skilled. I’m not sure how popular it can really become with the skill level of the current players. I see a lot of players miss layups and any shot outside of the paint is low percentage for most of them.
Sides is deliberately sabotaging Clarks game an her rookie year stats . Because she could break every record . If Sides let Clark play her game she would shoot more than 11 shots a game and would be fighting wilson for leagues top shooter.
Poor team chemistry. Sides appears to be tamping down Clark’s game to keep a gunner like Kelcy Mitchell and former #1 pick Boston happy. U of Iowa recognized that the team’s offense ran through Clark, and it was a team effort that landed them in the NCAA finals two years in a row with much less talent than many of their opponents. They embraced Caitlyn and rallied around her. The analogy of Larry Bird is a good one. He was drafted by a 20 win team. The coach allowing him to be Larry Bird, and teammates recognizing and accepting his greatness made them a 60 win team and NBA champions. The WNBA is a sad place. Grown women proving to the world every one of the stereotypes about jealousy, passive-aggressiveness, and bullying we witnessed in our middle school cafeteria, right there at the mean girls table. Show some character and class. Don’t tear down someone better than yourself. Trying to diminish the great ones does not make you one bit better. Work hard to elevate yourself to their level and see how good you really are.
CC should only play 3 years rack up all of her incentives and break many records , and then leave the trashy WNBA to play in a European league to compete against real competitors for rest of her career.
Keep in mind that Jordan was once a rookie, and we all know what happened there. He was dunkin' on 7-foot players just for fun. These Butches are just terrified that CC gone be that next Jordan, and no one likes them.
I'm not watching unless Caitlin goes, but they will most likely win gold regardless. The only losers will be the fans and who ever makes money from tickets and viewership.
It is truly Unfortunate that one of the all-time great WNBA players, Diana Taurasi, a first-ballot Hall of Famer, will be remembered for making rather Self-Serving statements . . . which may get her into the WNBA Hall-of-Shame. The statistics in this video make clear that if play on the court is what qualifies members of the U.S. Olympic Team then Caitlin Clark is just as qualified as other members selected for the team. Taurasi's claim that her qualifications to be a member on her first Olympic Team was because she was a collegiate athlete that won 3 consecutive National Championships. True, but as you point out, she was in a program that would go on to win 11 National Championships . . . and was on a team with many other talented players, while Caitlin Clark took a team of unknown players to the Final Four twice, as well as last year's National Championship Game . . . while setting the All-Time Scoring Record in Collegiate Basketball surpassing "Pistol Pete" Maravich's 3667 points. Her statistics in college was better than Taurasi's, and is better at this point in the season. You would think that someone who already has 5 Olympic Gold Medals would give others an opportunity to represent their country . . . or, at least, be humble enough not to brag about her accomplishments or put another player, who is just trying to be the best WNBA professional she can be, down. I believe the Olympics started as an international peaceful competition among amatuer athletes to share goodwill amongst the different cultures of the world. When did this become just about winning? If we want to show our goodwill, sportsmanship, and cultural values to the rest of the world, I think Caitlin Clark has represented her city, state, and country as well as we would want all members of our entire U.S. Olympic Team to do. I join with the many other voices in the Country stating this was a lost opportunity . . . not only to grow women's basketball around the world, . . . the WNBA, . . . but to show all the young girls (and boys) in the world what can happen when you put in the hard work to follow your dreams. Diana Taurasi had that opportunity 5 times already. Caitlin Clark could have reached so many more this year. Who's to say she will have the same reach 4 years from now? That is the lost opportunity the WNBA, the U.S. Women's Olympic Basketball Team selection committee, and we as a Country are responsible for.
Terasi: "There's a learning curve in the WNBA and Clark will find out." Clark standing at #2 in the league in rebounds, 4th in assists (3rd in APG), 1st in steals and 3rd in 3 pointers made. Fastest rookie in WNBA history to total 200 points, 75 rebounds, and 75 assists while, through her first 15 games in the WNBA, Clark has already faced off against 14 former All-Defensive players. Five 20-point, five-rebound, and five-assist games. All this while having all other players hate her, refs, her coach and teammates against her. ....Either she IS THAT good or the learning curve Terasi is talking about isn't that steep.
Nobody, really nobody knows or cares a ihr tarausi unless she’s throwing shade on CC. „After I won 3 championships“ as in „look how great I am. Recognize me“ meanwhile ignoring her glaring jealousy and incredibly bad behavior. Disgusting
Interesting that all players that have been on a championship team like to say “I won a national championship.” I thought a team was 5 players. Did she take the floor alone? A real comparison can only be made if they were both given the same team and circumstances. But since that can never happen, it’s all a bragging game. Did every player on the USA team win championships? Not saying CC should or shouldn’t have been on the team, but that “I won a championship” claim is bogus.
Basketball is a team sport so toreassi obviously has to mention the one stat she has over Caitlin because Caitlin owns every record that toreassi ever owned. Should call Caitlin "the Eraser"
UConn championship roster. Sue Bird, Swin Cash, Asjha Jones, Tamika Williams and Diana Taurasi are generally considered the greatest starting lineup in women's college basketball history.Is this your best flex Diana? I played on the best college basketball team ever. Caitlin owns every record you ever held.
If I was that interviewer my follow up question would have been did you win those 3 National titles by yourself? Or did you have a packed team helping you? No doubt CC on a college team with that level of talent would have won 3 as well. And then the stat disparity they showed? Yikes.
All true. A huge opportunity missed for the WNBA, but probably the best thing for Caitlin Clark. She can sit this one out, and focus on her rookie year. Then she can be on the next three Olympic teams.
Never heard about most of them could definitely not pick them out. But now with CC I’m interested. Go CC us Canadians are with you young lady. I just hope it slows down so you can be a kid and enjoy it. ❤❤❤
One of the selected players had not even made a record of baskets as CC for a very short period of time and besides CC has an exceptional skills and ability to score many points consistently so why can’t any of those sports officials left her out and that was dumbest decision.
Taurasi showed no class in trying to deny the future of women’s basketball. She could have gotten my vote for the sports GOAT, but she dropped the ball big time here.
While growing up I was always taught that you should always want is best for the team. If it’s someone other than yourself just be glad they are on your team!! But I will say this. Catlin is an amazing player. But she is part of a team. Media should share the recognition of her teammates also.
The "villains" probably help the ticket sales as well. The rivalries provide a bit of drama. Taurasi is a bit unaware if she thinks she is doing her reputation and image any favors by publicly dissing Caitlin though.
How many nat'l titles is irrelevant in WNBA unless you draft the whole team. Awards for individual play is more important. Caitlin Clarke has those and she is credited with raising Iowa's team to play in 2 nat'l title games. She is an asset that elevates the team's game. That's the kind of players need on team USA.
The US has _never_ taken olympic basketball seriously at all. They think that they can send their second or third row and still get the gold - and for a long time this worked. But the field has gotten stronger and while the US is still a very strong contender, it's not an automatic gold anymore. Especially if you don't send your best. But I guess if you're "world champion" by beating the teams just in your league - why bother, right?
I’ve totally LOST my once “admiration” of Taurasi!!! She has chosen to take the “low road” (continuously) in her assessed comments about Clark!! I’m disappointed in YOU… Taurasi😓😓😓
I agree with how this was presented. USA basketball will now be Ho-Hum. Caitlin Clark is more than just a playmaker. She has been and is inspirational to millions of young girls. Caitlin.....Thank you for what you've brought to women's basketball.
Nothing changes. Less than 15 years ago you had a college player that was shut out of the NBA because his shadow was than the game. Yes, Jimmer a single name that was known around the world was shut out because he was so good. He had to take his game to China and then to Greece before getting a chance to go to the olympics!
0:38 In my last year of football, the coaches were recording our 40 yard dash times, an average of 3 attempts. They told us that anything under 5 seconds was top tier. I was a stocky linebacker, but I decided to put my all in that first dash and I actually got 4.89. The coaches were amazed. But I pulled something in my back trying to increase my strides, so the next two times were the lowest on the whole team and my average got destroyed, something like 5.6 seconds. I totally think Caitlin should be on the Team USA. She's great. BUT, comparing their averages is like comparing first run me, to final average me, no? Because the other one's average was measured over many more years?
Dinosaur Taurasi is gonna play until she’s 80 just to keep Caitlin off the olympic team 🤣. Funny part is that Caitlin could easily claim her mothers heritage and put on a Italy uniform, but she’s not petty lol

U of Iowa recognized that the team’s offense ran through Clark, and it was a team effort that landed them in the NCAA finals two years in a row with much less talent than many of their opponents. They embraced Caitlyn and rallied around her.
The analogy of Larry Bird is a good one. He was drafted by a 20 win team. The coach allowing him to be Larry Bird, and teammates recognizing and accepting his greatness made them a 60 win team and NBA champions. The WNBA is a sad place. Grown women proving to the world every one of the stereotypes about jealousy, passive-aggressiveness, and bullying we witnessed in our middle school cafeteria, right there at the mean girls table. Show some character and class. Don’t tear down someone better than yourself. Trying to diminish the great ones does not make you one bit better. Work hard to elevate yourself to their level and see how good you really are.
But a 40+ year old and someone who hasn’t played in a year is 🤷♂️🙂
u sure thats a woman
I hope CC stays in the wNBA and spends the rest of her career sticking up their asses!
CC should only play 3 years rack up all of her incentives and break many records , and then leave the trashy WNBA to play in a European league to compete against real competitors for rest of her career.
Several of them would like that
Keep in mind that Jordan was once a rookie, and we all know what happened there. He was dunkin' on 7-foot players just for fun. These Butches are just terrified that CC gone be that next Jordan, and no one likes them.
Coming from a true American I hope USA women's team don't even get bronze this year😂😂
It's a team sport. Taurasi didn't win those championships on her own . Catlin Clark should of been picked for team USA
Caitlyn Clark didn’t make the USA Olympic team because Diana Taurasi doesn’t like her.
By not putting her on the team USA women's basketball, just guaranteed NO EYES will be on the games. Bet they don't win gold!
I'm not watching, that's for sure. I like Kelsey Plum but, sorry KP, not gonna watch without CC22. So sorry.
I'm not watching unless Caitlin goes, but they will most likely win gold regardless. The only losers will be the fans and who ever makes money from tickets and viewership.
Clark is the best college player of all time.The records prove that as fact and not just opinion.
@@wasabesabe5986 The evidence contradicts your statement. Clark has the stats to prove she was the greatest of all time at college ball.
It is truly Unfortunate that one of the all-time great WNBA players, Diana Taurasi, a first-ballot Hall of Famer, will be remembered for making rather Self-Serving statements . . . which may get her into the WNBA Hall-of-Shame. The statistics in this video make clear that if play on the court is what qualifies members of the U.S. Olympic Team then Caitlin Clark is just as qualified as other members selected for the team. Taurasi's claim that her qualifications to be a member on her first Olympic Team was because she was a collegiate athlete that won 3 consecutive National Championships. True, but as you point out, she was in a program that would go on to win 11 National Championships . . . and was on a team with many other talented players, while Caitlin Clark took a team of unknown players to the Final Four twice, as well as last year's National Championship Game . . . while setting the All-Time Scoring Record in Collegiate Basketball surpassing "Pistol Pete" Maravich's 3667 points. Her statistics in college was better than Taurasi's, and is better at this point in the season. You would think that someone who already has 5 Olympic Gold Medals would give others an opportunity to represent their country . . . or, at least, be humble enough not to brag about her accomplishments or put another player, who is just trying to be the best WNBA professional she can be, down. I believe the Olympics started as an international peaceful competition among amatuer athletes to share goodwill amongst the different cultures of the world. When did this become just about winning? If we want to show our goodwill, sportsmanship, and cultural values to the rest of the world, I think Caitlin Clark has represented her city, state, and country as well as we would want all members of our entire U.S. Olympic Team to do. I join with the many other voices in the Country stating this was a lost opportunity . . . not only to grow women's basketball around the world, . . . the WNBA, . . . but to show all the young girls (and boys) in the world what can happen when you put in the hard work to follow your dreams. Diana Taurasi had that opportunity 5 times already. Caitlin Clark could have reached so many more this year. Who's to say she will have the same reach 4 years from now? That is the lost opportunity the WNBA, the U.S. Women's Olympic Basketball Team selection committee, and we as a Country are responsible for.
Terasi: "There's a learning curve in the WNBA and Clark will find out."
Clark standing at #2 in the league in rebounds, 4th in assists (3rd in APG), 1st in steals and 3rd in 3 pointers made.
Fastest rookie in WNBA history to total 200 points, 75 rebounds, and 75 assists while, through her first 15 games in the WNBA, Clark has already faced off against 14 former All-Defensive players.
Five 20-point, five-rebound, and five-assist games.
All this while having all other players hate her, refs, her coach and teammates against her.
....Either she IS THAT good or the learning curve Terasi is talking about isn't that steep.
Nobody, really nobody knows or cares a ihr tarausi unless she’s throwing shade on CC. „After I won 3 championships“ as in „look how great I am. Recognize me“ meanwhile ignoring her glaring jealousy and incredibly bad behavior. Disgusting
Sad that she acts like Angel Reese.
The boss move is for Caitlin to demand Taurasi's spot on this year's team or boycott the Olympic team all together in the future .
Love that.
Thank You. I've been saying those very things to anyone who would listen.
Hope they loose…..and won’t be watching
She said I won 3 championships not we what a tool
Crabs in a bucket. Women are like that
Interesting that all players that have been on a championship team like to say “I won a national championship.” I thought a team was 5 players. Did she take the floor alone? A real comparison can only be made if they were both given the same team and circumstances. But since that can never happen, it’s all a bragging game. Did every player on the USA team win championships? Not saying CC should or shouldn’t have been on the team, but that “I won a championship” claim is bogus.
CC 🔥
Basketball is a team sport so toreassi obviously has to mention the one stat she has over Caitlin because Caitlin owns every record that toreassi ever owned. Should call Caitlin "the Eraser"
Paul is right 100% due to CC arrival, NBA won’t have to pay for wnb salaries anymore 😂
UConn championship roster. Sue Bird, Swin Cash, Asjha Jones, Tamika Williams and Diana Taurasi are generally considered the greatest starting lineup in women's college basketball history.Is this your best flex Diana? I played on the best college basketball team ever. Caitlin owns every record you ever held.
Taurasi has one thing Caitlin doesn't have: a love for women. Oh, and a huge beak!
Ironic that these anti-stereotype hyping women are so jealous.
If I was that interviewer my follow up question would have been did you win those 3 National titles by yourself? Or did you have a packed team helping you? No doubt CC on a college team with that level of talent would have won 3 as well. And then the stat disparity they showed? Yikes.
All true. A huge opportunity missed for the WNBA, but probably the best thing for Caitlin Clark. She can sit this one out, and focus on her rookie year. Then she can be on the next three Olympic teams.
Jealousy can be real ugly
One thing my hero Al Bundy said a woman worst enemy is another woman
she certainly didn't give her team credit for the natties .
I still do not understand why CC did not make the 3 on 3 Olympic team.
what nasty b- jerry west never won a championship. nor did she leave uconn as the all time leading scorer.
Never heard about most of them could definitely not pick them out. But now with CC I’m interested. Go CC us Canadians are with you young lady. I just hope it slows down so you can be a kid and enjoy it. ❤❤❤
One of the selected players had not even made a record of baskets as CC for a very short period of time and besides CC has an exceptional skills and ability to score many points consistently so why can’t any of those sports officials left her out and that was dumbest decision.
Thanks for putting this together.
Taurasi showed no class in trying to deny the future of women’s basketball. She could have gotten my vote for the sports GOAT, but she dropped the ball big time here.
Does her reasoning mean that only players that win championships belong on their country 's Olympic teams?
Double almost everything! Points, rebounds and assists!
A TEAM wins championships, not a single player
While growing up I was always taught that you should always want is best for the team. If it’s someone other than yourself just be glad they are on your team!! But I will say this. Catlin is an amazing player. But she is part of a team. Media should share the recognition of her teammates also.
The "villains" probably help the ticket sales as well. The rivalries provide a bit of drama. Taurasi is a bit unaware if she thinks she is doing her reputation and image any favors by publicly dissing Caitlin though.
How many nat'l titles is irrelevant in WNBA unless you draft the whole team. Awards for individual play is more important. Caitlin Clarke has those and she is credited with raising Iowa's team to play in 2 nat'l title games. She is an asset that elevates the team's game. That's the kind of players need on team USA.
I haven't watch the Olympics for a long time. I would have watched for Caitlin, but now I am not. Very disgusting behavior.
The US has _never_ taken olympic basketball seriously at all. They think that they can send their second or third row and still get the gold - and for a long time this worked. But the field has gotten stronger and while the US is still a very strong contender, it's not an automatic gold anymore. Especially if you don't send your best.
But I guess if you're "world champion" by beating the teams just in your league - why bother, right?
I’ve totally LOST my once “admiration” of Taurasi!!! She has chosen to take the “low road” (continuously) in her assessed comments about Clark!! I’m disappointed in YOU… Taurasi😓😓😓
Caitlin has better stats, and anyone who says otherwise is lying. It’s pathetic, and they are jealous.
I agree with how this was presented. USA basketball will now be Ho-Hum. Caitlin Clark is more than just a playmaker. She has been and is inspirational to millions of young girls. Caitlin.....Thank you for what you've brought to women's basketball.
Dan Turassi played on a team is basically the Duke womens basketball every year, Uconn. CC played on an average team
You said it so true 👍 Taurusi mad because Caitlin Clark made more money in her shoe deal an people back up CC thats why so many haters in the wnba
WHO IS YOUR CHOICE FOR THE INDIANA FLAME NEW COACH .
SUE BIRD OR MAGIC?
Nothing changes. Less than 15 years ago you had a college player that was shut out of the NBA because his shadow was than the game. Yes, Jimmer a single name that was known around the world was shut out because he was so good. He had to take his game to China and then to Greece before getting a chance to go to the olympics!
0:38 In my last year of football, the coaches were recording our 40 yard dash times, an average of 3 attempts. They told us that anything under 5 seconds was top tier. I was a stocky linebacker, but I decided to put my all in that first dash and I actually got 4.89. The coaches were amazed. But I pulled something in my back trying to increase my strides, so the next two times were the lowest on the whole team and my average got destroyed, something like 5.6 seconds. I totally think Caitlin should be on the Team USA. She's great. BUT, comparing their averages is like comparing first run me, to final average me, no? Because the other one's average was measured over many more years?
Dinosaur Taurasi is gonna play until she’s 80 just to keep Caitlin off the olympic team 🤣. Funny part is that Caitlin could easily claim her mothers heritage and put on a Italy uniform, but she’s not petty lol
Whats the difference between "per game" and "per contest"?
I won’t watch Team USA because CC is not on the team . Never watched WNBA until CC came along . She’s one of a kind! GOAT!! ❤
CC scored almost 1,800 more career points in college than DT. She's over 400 points ahead of the second place career points.
What would Clark’s numbers be if the coach played her more and let her shot.
Great insight 🔥👏👏
its not that you dont win any championship its how you play good basketball
Yep I won’t be watching basketball during the Olympics this year.
I've never seen a bigger display of "Crabs in a bucket" mentality than this year in the WNBA...
total jealousy !!! so sick of it! we can only hope that Caitlin's team can start winning and contending.
