Best Caitlin Clark story - The day that her Iowa Coach, Lisa Bluder, learned that Caitlin was the 2023 NCAA player of the year (her junior year), Caitlin was spending time at the Hawkeye - Stead Family Children's Hospital. They caught this on camera: When Coach Bluder found Clark and told her about her POY award, Clark was happy, but she was not over the moon - She was more moved by the kids she had been spending time with, who were fighting the biggest fights of all. You could see it in Clark's eyes. She was thankful for the award, but she had even more that she wanted to keep going for, to play for, to inspire those kids. . . People don't know this but she goes back to the hospital, is persally connected with a lot of kids fighting for their lives, has flown kids and given what she can. SHe will NEVER talk about herself doing this, and avoids cameras - some find her (I think at an Aces game was one), but THIS is who Caitlin Clark truly is. This is what we all recognize, what we all sense, in her character - and why we feel we must support her.
Why I will always admire Russell Wilson from our Seahawks. He spent a lot of time at our local childrens hospital in Seattle all through the years he played here.❤
@destiny The video is on here. Both Bluder and Jensen were with her in Stead Family Univ. of Iowa Children's hospital. Caitlin is definitely one of the kids favorite athletes, but she's not the only one who visits the kids or brings them little gifts to help give them a smile when they aren't feeling good. Caitlin is a blessing wherever she goes.
Her heart is that of a champion. Perhaps every word has a couple of words, at least behind it. We'll, I believe that CC is kind and has class. One of the words behind these two qualities is discretion. CC'S discretion is amazing. She will never intentionally allow the public to see her good works.
What Clark did the first six months of the year will never be repeated by any athlete in the history of the world..what she did at Iowa to end her college career, followed by her exploits at the pro level with hardly no gap in between..doing so while being treated like an outsider by wnba in general and media in whole. Yes, she earned your award, Ms. Ross..and all the rest and whatever else pops up//
Tiger was a similar marvel, as was Kareem, to a degree Magic/Bird, as was Gretzky, Ali - likely a few others - who went from college (or HS) to the pros and dominated. However, none that I know of - with the exception of maybe Jackie Robinson - were caught up in such a social division firestorm. Add to this, none of those greats shouldered their entire sport from the back back pages to the front page of the culture. So yes, the combination of amateur to pro record breaking excellence while lifting an entire sport into the mainstream while also bearing crosses that shouldn't be forced upon an athletes - all with such grace and positive effect on millions of people.... It is difficult to imagine that such circumstances will ever be effected by one athlete - all within 1 calendar year - ever again.
My opinion, Caitlin Clark's most prestigious award is...The Adrienne Ross Extra Special Athlete of The Year Award (genuine). Wow, you took my breath away listing all her accomplishments.
Your experience with the WNBA is almost exactly the same as mine. Caitlin brought me back. that's all I'll say. She is an unbelievable talent with incredible class
I have to admit that I had NEVER watched a WNBA game until Caitlin Clark came along. Thank you for giving her your Athlete of the Year Award! Happy New Year!
Indeed Adrienne, CC deserves the ARS award because of her character and class, and how she handled the pressure and the persecution she has experienced. Seemed like water off a duck. Incredibly impressive. Imagine being the tide - y'know, the one that lifts all boats? That was CC this year.
Thank you. This was a great look back on CC’s historic year. All awards are earned and the ARS, Player of The Year is no exception. Have a great rest of the year. Can’t wait for what’s coming.
Adrienne, you make me wish that YOU could have come to play at Iowa! You are a Hawkeye at heart! - and this means MUCH more than winning in a school's name... This is about representing the Iowa Way - the work ethic, the support of community/youth, the corny sense of humor, the sharing mindset. As much as our wonderful Caitlin Clark represents this, to a T, so do you...and all of the fans who reflect these qualities. Clark's footprint on society is still growing. She is yet to be Iowa's greatest contemporary cultural contribution - for now that would be Dan Gable (read his unrivaled story - how he Saved wrestling - what he means to so many) and The Wave. And yet, because the wave-effect from CC, through you and many others, has me believing that CC will do more positive things for more people than any athlete (or Iowan?) we have seen in our era.
I agree with your selection and could not agree more. I was never an Iowa fan always An Iowa Stater but she made me a Hawkeye fan. Just an unbelievable young lady.
AR, I work with people everyday who are not even close to being as mature, and as refreshingly themselves, on and off the court, than Miss Caitlin Clark!
My friends! "Haitlin" and "Cait Hate"! I hope and pray, these are CC fans, saying STOP IT! Enough is Enough! I couldn't be more proud of this dynamic young lady. I've already said this, I'm gonna say it again, People like this do not come around very often. Please be thankful, I certainly am, that I got to witness a once in a lifetime, most assuredly deserving of every accolade, Human Being of the Years! Not a typo, I said Years!
This channel is a triple dose of excellence: 1. Excellence in basketball/CC content 2. Excellence in drawing out material for application in life 3. Excellence in grammatical accuracy. I feel as if I am in class for a motivational lecture, a coaching debriefing, and for an English course at thr same time. I am certain I made a grammatical error somewhere. However, I just wanted to say I appreciate you correcting the errors in the various articles that you read. Firstly, it helps us to get an idea how horribly the journalism schools have been training the reporters in their writings. Secondly, it causes me to be more conscious about being as grammatically accurate as possible in my words, and in my writing.
You have found the key to my heart: grammar! Hahaha! All joking aside, thank you for your kind words and always for your support and engagement with the content and other members of this community!
Great show and deserved award! Caitlin brought me to the league which brought me to your show - grateful for all that! I have tuned into the ARS more than any mainstream sports show in 2024…for what it’s worth😊
Merry Christmas to you and your family God bless you and your family, by the way Caitlin Clark deserves the Athlete of the Year award in my opinion what she does for the sport and the way she plays is amazingly great and the way she handles everything on and off the court in awe ❤❤❤
Adrienne, you missed one unofficial record, broke the wnba all time record of fans devoted to a single player. I think that I can confidently state that that one is NOT hyperbole.🎉 It's scary, if you were to imagine laying out all her records made and added in her awards they would make a line from Indianapolis to iowa. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
CC is amazing she is one in a billion!! So much carrier! Her parents must be so proud of the person she has become!! She is a amazing human being! She up lifts everyone around her She is so unselfish and does so much for her community!! She such a wonderful person!!
Living in Dea Moines I have been an NCAA women's BB and Caitlin Clark fan from the start but I never watched a single WNBA game. Because of Caitlin I am a HUGE fan of the WNBA and excited about all the great BB being played there. Can't wait for next season.
It is undeniable at this point how much of a positive impact this girl has had on women’s basketball. Anybody who is still hating on her now, that’s on them.
And they get their kids to hate her too. You should read some of the garbage. "My kids will NEVER wear HER shoes", "my kids won't root for some interloper under my roof", and those are 2 of the NICE ones
Hey Coach Ross, your almost at another thousand subscribers. Congratulations. Your channel is all about the fans, and of course CC. But you center on how fans think, feel and react to the W. So this Coach Ross award is most fitting. CC IS the athlete of the year/decade!!!
Thank you Adrienne Ross for all your coverage. I didn't realise there was a WNBA until C C started popping up in my feed, bug I will definitely be watching Caitlyn Clark's games next season.
Thanks for the continued great content Adrienne! Yes, CC earned and deserved all those awards and much more accolades. Looking forward to her breaking more records in 2025...and then the haters will downplay that as well saying, "of course, it's a 44 game season now". And my retort to that is, "well, didn't the rest of the league and players have that same 44 game schedule to break records too?"
Excellent video that sums up perfectly why Clark is so deserving of all of the athlete of the year awards that she's won. I'm so proud of Clark who's amazing on/off the court. The best is yet to come.
I Hope You Had A Merry Christmas Adrienne! Thank You For Your Channel & Your Time! A Great Award, A Great Year For Caitlin Clark! Try As They May… She Is Something Special! #22🔥‼️❤️
That's amazing! Your 22-month-old granddaughter is getting #22's basketball. So cool! I wasn't expecting another one, so I was so surprised when I was told another is on the way. They must be backed up because it's not shipped yet. Since it's not here yet, my friend who got it for me for Christmas framed a photo of it so I can see what it looks like. It's 🔥!
I'm from Iowa and have three sisters and I guarantee that she won't back down and will not leave the Fever. She wants to stay close to her family and friends and her boyfriend and doesn't need the money.
In 2019, the FIFA Under 19 Women's World Cup in Thailand was the first time I got to see CC and I have followed her ever since. Even to this day, she surprises me with her amazing basketball skills and as a beautiful human with a massive heart. Even with her busy schedule, she makes time to help those in need, like this recent video of a young girl whose family could not afford cancer treatment for her: th-cam.com/video/jQiZW4aicKA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AfeWI1Kz19BHBAlo No matter what basketball accomplishments or awards Caitlin achieves or wins the thing that I will remember her by is her massive heart, thank you CC, you are my hero.
Thanks Adrienne, I too was around when the WNBA started. I remember Cynthia she was good but I watched Tisha and Yolanda - they were a good duo together! Won the 2005 championship!!! You get I was there. Stop watching after Kings owner dismantled the Monarch’s. I’ve really stopped watching the NBA then too. We just news snippets over about Caitlin Clark over the years got me - really listening. The the draft happened and I was back in - I’m hooked on watching CC - she’s done things I never thought about. Her basketball IQ is off the charts. I’m so looking forward to the 2025 season. I do feel the championship coming on. Seriously one of the best things about this past year has been finding your channel and just wanna say thank you again for all that you do.
And enjoy your show on Christmas thank you for your time. As much as I like her three point logos it’s her passing that is exceptional and it’s really exciting to watch and I don’t know how she does it but she does like her. Dad said she sees things before they happen.
Caitlin follows the eastern philosophy of self defense which is you study your opponent's weakness but you never expose your emotional weakness to them. You never initiate a fight but you defend yourself when necessary.
When I was a younger man, 50+ years ago, if you opened up an NBA record book for individual stats, Wilt Chamberlain would have been listed for practically every NBA individual record, it was amazing. Many have been eclipsed since then, but now in the 2020's C2 can stand equally proud on all of her records now after just one season! Amazing for her :)
CC, just keep your mind on the goal and EVERYTHING else just falls in line. Goal: To be the BEST in the world. Period. Just leave the other mindless fools behind without giving them ANY CONSIDERATION...they hate that more than ANY response you might have. The lack of response is just further confirmation that they are NOT OF ANY CONSEQUENCE or RELEVANCE to anybody. Go CC.
The show was an impressive recitation of great moments in the recent past life of Caitlyn Clark that I didn't know about. I hope she finds out about her ARS Player of the Year Award.
I think the next time someone says what exactly has CC done in College she didn’t win a championship? I think I will refer them to this video to educate them as to what CC accomplished in her senior year in the NCAA and her first season in the WNBA. Yup she truly bought the business and I just cannot wait for the background noises to start dying down under the pressure of her cumulated accomplishments.
Her parents did a great job .I hope she stays true to herself,block the noise,play ball.the players that think they are playing football need to be suspended and fined.and the so called ref.??!
AR Athlete of the Year? How dare you? 100% sarcasm. Thank you so much for recognizing CC! There are many, many folks that you could have given this award to. Facts! What a year for sports in general! Here's hoping 2025 brings us, as good, or better!
@@marisoltammero3331 The criteria is, AR can choose whoever she wants! You do know, her show, her rules, right? I really hope you're not serious with this question
Actually, Caitlin Clark should have received the WNBA MVP Award for 2024. When you compare Wilson’s points for the year along with assists in points total to Clark’s overall points plus assists, Clark should be the MVP. Look how the NBA chooses their MVP’s : Steve Nash beats out
Steve Nash beats out Lebraun James & Michael Jordan as MVP in 2005 & 2006. Take time to look up their stats MVP seems to be based on Total Points plus Assist points of Nash against James & Jordan.
It's not just the WNBA league that is toxic, it is the press that covers the league that is toxic. What is interesting is the toxicity is primarily in WNBA, not other sports.
A ton of accolades and accomplishments. At this point, I suspect CC is only saving room in her trophy case for 3 things: a league MVP, a WNBA championship and an Olympic Gold Medal. She has the combination of talent and desire to make that happen many times over. The WNBA may not appreciate her, but it looks like the Fever’s new management now does. It’s going to be must-watch in 2025!
CC is going to go down in history as the best woman's and possibly men's basketball. No one has ever done what this girl has done in a rookie or as a player in general. Christmas was great.,Everyone needs to remember it's Jesus's birthday. Can't wait to see what 2025 has in store for All!!
So glad you mentioned the off course behavior of her reporter activity and public appearance that is what A'ja Wilson ( Always crying )has not figured how to win the public love.
Great award you give to her. CC shines a light on the other players in the league. Some of them show their good side and others unfortunately show their bad side for the new fans to see. They can't blame her for everything, they make their own beds. Her behavior should be an example to other people/players, her volunteering and helping visiting sick children are great things as well.
Thank you Adrienne for naming our Caitlin the "Adrienne Ross Athlete of the Year 2024". Thank you ALSO for calling IT what IT is, "The Caitlin Clark Effect". Caitlin will always be Caitlin by saying nice things when she has no reason to say nice things. She was born and raised in Iowa, raised by amazing parents, survived 2 brothers-just kidding, the brothers have survived her, lol-she was playing hoops with her brother Colin in their basement and they both went after a loose ball. She shoved him into the wall and he needed 4 staples in his head. She has spoken eloquently ever since she was interviewed in college. Never a bad word about anyone, and no matter who asked her or how many times she was asked about HER game, she would go through the names of every teammate and how much they contributed, specific plays or shots, it all came right off the tongue, she NEVER said anything about her own accomplishments until she had finished speaking about each of them. She has done the same thing with the Fever! She is not afraid to talk trash, but not until someone has said something to her first, something she feels deserves a response. In the Elite 8 against Louisville, 2023, in the 4th quarter, Hailey VanLith said something to her and we will probably never know what it was, but Caitlin's response was "Shut up, you're down by 15". End of conversation. Now I don't want to say she is a nun or a saint, she's not. I think it was against Mich. State in Feb. 2024, and the announcers said ahead of the game that we were going to get to see so much of Caitlin Clark that night because there were cameras ALL OVER the arena. They may have regretted that just a bit because during a time out or something, we got to see her walking towards the home basket, about mid-court, she had her towel with her and at the same moment, she bent over, slapped the court with the towel, and yelled FU*K!!! My husband and I absolutely roared, and watched it 2 more times. Later in the same game, she said it again only there was no audio or towel that time. We backed it up a couple of times just to make sure we were being accurate with our lip reading. We've learned it from football coaches over at least 30 years. Now they hide their mouths so you don't get to do that anymore, lol. We talk so much about her "logo 3's", but I believe it was that very same Michigan State game, there was no more than 5 seconds left and the score was tied. They were trying to get it inbounded to Caitlin, finally got it to Hannah Stuelke, and somehow she got it to Caitlin who was standing on the beak of the Tigerhawk at mid-court and drained the 3. The announcers called it "She shot it from THE BEAK"!!!! That was a 40' shot. In a later game, don't know which one right now, but from the other side of the court, they called it "from the feathers" of the Tigerhawk, another 40' shot. This is the best video you have made of her accomplishments. I was going to give you a bad time about a 3 time award she won that you didn't list, but it was because she didn't win it her senior year. She won the Dawn Staley award 3 times.
Should mention that she was also selected as the Sports Newsmaker of the Year by The Epoch Times. She was featured alongside 3 other individuals also awarded, President Trump, Elon Musk and President Milei from Argentina. Phenomenal achievement for CC.
Caitlin Clark is: The full phrase is "Let your speech always be full of grace, seasoned with salt," which is found in the Bible, specifically Colossians 4:6
Sometimes I watch your intro twice! A+ on it! I would love to be a fly on the wall in Sheryl Swoopes crib! Or maybe not cuz theres probably stuff flyin through the air that could squash me! Got a CC Indiana Fever T-shirt and Hoodie for X-mas from my girl, and am planning on attending a game this next season and CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHO WILL BE ON THE TEAM, ITS DRIVING ME SWOOPES (CRAZY)!
It has always been Caitlin Clark's dream to play in the WNBA, and that's the only reason that she is going to play in the League again this year 😃 so God Bless her 🙏, and maybe she will be ready once again for the ignorance of the black lesbians once again ❤.
A much deserved award for an extraordinary young a lady and athlete. You could do raspberry awards for most toxic WNBA players, owners, and coaches as well as a special raspberry award for most ridiculous WNBA media coverage. But I think there will be so many positives coming out of Caitlyn on and off the court you won't have time to cover the nonsense.
CC most points in season by point guard in WNBA history. Wow. ARS Athlete of Year. Wow. 1st team all WNBA as a rookie. Wow. WNBA season assists record. Wow. I'm getting my game time popcorn ready for the Fever's coming season.
Best Caitlin Clark story - The day that her Iowa Coach, Lisa Bluder, learned that Caitlin was the 2023 NCAA player of the year (her junior year), Caitlin was spending time at the Hawkeye - Stead Family Children's Hospital.

You could see it in Clark's eyes. She was thankful for the award, but she had even more that she wanted to keep going for, to play for, to inspire those kids. . . People don't know this but she goes back to the hospital, is persally connected with a lot of kids fighting for their lives, has flown kids and given what she can. SHe will NEVER talk about herself doing this, and avoids cameras - some find her (I think at an Aces game was one), but THIS is who Caitlin Clark truly is. This is what we all recognize, what we all sense, in her character - and why we feel we must support her.
And Angel shows us her buns.
The fact is, Caitlin Clark,is the It,no one the welfarenba 😂😂😂
Why I will always admire Russell Wilson from our Seahawks. He spent a lot of time at our local childrens hospital in Seattle all through the years he played here.❤
@destiny The video is on here. Both Bluder and Jensen were with her in Stead Family Univ. of Iowa Children's hospital. Caitlin is definitely one of the kids favorite athletes, but she's not the only one who visits the kids or brings them little gifts to help give them a smile when they aren't feeling good.

My opinion, Caitlin Clark's most prestigious award is...The Adrienne Ross Extra Special Athlete of The Year Award (genuine). Wow, you took my breath away listing all her accomplishments.
Your first reason for Caitlin's choice as '24 athlete of the year is my reason.She brought me in as one who had never been a follower the w before.
Your experience with the WNBA is almost exactly the same as mine. Caitlin brought me back. that's all I'll say. She is an unbelievable talent with incredible class
Same here
I have to admit that I had NEVER watched a WNBA game until Caitlin Clark came along. Thank you for giving her your Athlete of the Year Award! Happy New Year!
I love your awards!❤❤❤❤ You have created a very special channel. Best wishes for the new year.
Indeed Adrienne, CC deserves the ARS award because of her character and class, and how she handled the pressure and the persecution she has experienced. Seemed like water off a duck. Incredibly impressive.
Imagine being the tide - y'know, the one that lifts all boats? That was CC this year.

Absolutely agree with you…Athlete of the year 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Great points to back your award for CC👍🏽. Go Fever!!
I agree with your selection and could not agree more. I was never an Iowa fan always An Iowa Stater but she made me a Hawkeye fan. Just an unbelievable young lady.
That's one you can't say too loud. Granted ISU not being in the B1G helps
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 CC got me into the W
I was hooked from her days in Iowa ❣️❣️
AR, I work with people everyday who are not even close to being as mature, and as refreshingly themselves, on and off the court, than Miss Caitlin Clark!
Wow, this is amazing, and you will still have people/haters saying she doesn't deserve it. Great job Mrs. Ross.

""Both in athleticism and character"!!! Couldn't possibly be more precise!!!👏👏👏 And love CC22, my daily dosis of Humble Pie!!!❤❤❤
I feel exactly the same. I remember when WNBA first started, and then I tuned out. Now I am all in for CC. 👏 👏 another well-deserved accolade.
Adrienne, you missed one unofficial record, broke the wnba all time record of fans devoted to a single player.

🔥🔥🔥
It's almost like she was in an Iowa cornfield, and a voice said, " If you build it (your basketball skills), they will come." And the fans sure did! 😎
CC is amazing she is one in a billion!! So much carrier! Her parents must be so proud of the person she has become!! She is a amazing human being! She up lifts everyone around her She is so unselfish and does so much for her community!! She such a wonderful person!!
Here here!!! Absolutely!

This Girl CC22, mind boggling accolades and she is just coming onto the stage...
She will be breaking her own records like mad
IN OTHER WORDS, SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MVP !!!
Excellent video that sums up perfectly why Clark is so deserving of all of the athlete of the year awards that she's won. I'm so proud of Clark who's amazing on/off the court. The best is yet to come.
Well done Adrienne. Well done.
Love it!
I Hope You Had A Merry Christmas Adrienne! Thank You For Your Channel & Your Time! A Great Award, A Great Year For Caitlin Clark! Try As They May… She Is Something Special!
#22🔥‼️❤️
Salad Years to come for Mighty CC#22,my hats off to you🎉Salamat!Mabuhay Ka!
I got the giggles when you read off all the accolades!
I've also got another 2 BBs on their way to me... one for me and one for my 22 month old granddaughter! We love CC22!
That's amazing! Your 22-month-old granddaughter is getting #22's basketball. So cool! I wasn't expecting another one, so I was so surprised when I was told another is on the way.

This is a “VERY PRESTIGIOUS” AWARD !

We just news snippets over about Caitlin Clark over the years got me - really listening. The the draft happened and I was back in - I’m hooked on watching CC - she’s done things I never thought about.
Her basketball IQ is off the charts. I’m so looking forward to the 2025 season. I do feel the championship coming on. Seriously one of the best things about this past year has been finding your channel and just wanna say thank you again for all that you do.
I agree 100% with your Athlete of the year for 2024 in CC22.
Wow !!! You must be Exhausted, 😜 What A Great Job You Did On This Podcast. And I agree with all of it. 😃😃
LOVE IT!!❤
I Love CAITLIN CLARK FOREVER
Advance Happy New Year, with love from the Philippines ❤❤❤
Love your show
And enjoy your show on Christmas thank you for your time. As much as I like her three point logos it’s her passing that is exceptional and it’s really exciting to watch and I don’t know how she does it but she does like her. Dad said she sees things before they happen.
Thank you for all you do!!! Happy New Year!!
You are definitely on top of this
💯🏀 Im loving your coverage on this.awwsome
Caitlin follows the eastern philosophy of self defense which is you study your opponent's weakness but you never expose your emotional weakness to them. You never initiate a fight but you defend yourself when necessary.
She should get the Ms. Congeniality award.
Ms thick skin for sure. Deflects all the hateful petty BS like Wonder woman deflecting bullets
And have Sandra Bullock present the award to CC 😂
@ that would be awesome
They could do a skit together playing off the movie and the wnba
When I was a younger man, 50+ years ago, if you opened up an NBA record book for individual stats, Wilt Chamberlain would have been listed for practically every NBA individual record, it was amazing. Many have been eclipsed since then, but now in the 2020's C2 can stand equally proud on all of her records now after just one season! Amazing for her :)
I think Chamberlain has more games of 60 or more points, than the entire rest of the NBA throughout its history. Also the only 100 point game.
@@Richard-v7g I remembered hearing about the 100, but I did not know about all the 60+. Wow!
New Shirt
CC22 ❤️💙💛🐐
“IT IS WHAT IT IS”
CC, just keep your mind on the goal and EVERYTHING else just falls in line.
Goal: To be the BEST in the world. Period.
Just leave the other mindless fools behind without giving them ANY CONSIDERATION...they hate that more than ANY response you might have. The lack of response is just further confirmation that they are NOT OF ANY CONSEQUENCE or RELEVANCE to anybody.
Go CC.
Great summary of a fantastic 2024 with Caitlin Clark’s unbelievable accomplishments on the Basketball court!!! Looking forward to 2025!!!
The show was an impressive recitation of great moments in the recent past life of Caitlyn Clark that I didn't know about. I hope she finds out about her ARS Player of the Year Award.
I think the next time someone says what exactly has CC done in College she didn’t win a championship? I think I will refer them to this video to educate them as to what CC accomplished in her senior year in the NCAA and her first season in the WNBA. Yup she truly bought the business and I just cannot wait for the background noises to start dying down under the pressure of her cumulated accomplishments.
She's an unique beautiful young lady. Well deserved. Shout out to AR Award-winning.
I so enjoy riding with this channel on the CC22 train, ty Adrienne for all the content 👏
Her parents did a great job .I hope she stays true to herself,block the noise,play ball.the players that think they are playing football need to be suspended and fined.and the so called ref.??!
AR Athlete of the Year? How dare you? 100% sarcasm. Thank you so much for recognizing CC! There are many, many folks that you could have given this award to. Facts! What a year for sports in general! Here's hoping 2025 brings us, as good, or better!
I want to know what criteria was used to give her this award and a list of all the other candidates considered. lol
@@marisoltammero3331 The criteria is, AR can choose whoever she wants! You do know, her show, her rules, right? I really hope you're not serious with this question
congratulations … Caitlin Clark!!!
CC is grace under pressure.
Actually, Caitlin Clark should have received the WNBA MVP Award for 2024.
When you compare Wilson’s points for the year along with assists in points total to Clark’s overall points plus assists, Clark should be the MVP.
Look how the NBA chooses their MVP’s :
Steve Nash beats out
Steve Nash beats out Lebraun James & Michael Jordan as MVP in 2005 & 2006.
Take time to look up their stats
MVP seems to be based on Total Points plus Assist points of Nash against James & Jordan.
Love it!
How sweet
It's not just the WNBA league that is toxic, it is the press that covers the league that is toxic. What is interesting is the toxicity is primarily in WNBA, not other sports.
Never watched WNBA in my life,only watching CC #22 Period .
Well deserved!
A ton of accolades and accomplishments. At this point, I suspect CC is only saving room in her trophy case for 3 things: a league MVP, a WNBA championship and an Olympic Gold Medal. She has the combination of talent and desire to make that happen many times over. The WNBA may not appreciate her, but it looks like the Fever’s new management now does. It’s going to be must-watch in 2025!
Congratulations to CC22
ADD The Associated Press Female Athlete Of The Year to her honors.
Happy New Year Mr.Ross wishing the best for you and your family during 2025.Thanks for keeping us with the WNBA news
CC is going to go down in history as the best woman's and possibly men's basketball. No one has ever done what this girl has done in a rookie or as a player in general.
Christmas was great.,Everyone needs to remember it's Jesus's birthday. Can't wait to see what 2025 has in store for All!!
👉👋👌very well said!!!
love all the statements in here from start to last,,
its all true and very pleasing to hear!!!
She's phenomenal, generational, elite. Overcomer, she just has 'it' polarizing personality.
Wait....Clark's personality is polarizing? How so?
So glad you mentioned the off course behavior of her reporter activity and public appearance that is what A'ja Wilson ( Always crying )has not figured how to win the public love.
Enjoying your commentary, thank you for putting in the effort just dropping the comment cause I know they count.
Thank you!
Just found your channel. Definitely subscribed ❤
Nice one ! However I would add another one "Best Team Player". With C# It's We not I. As they say there is no I in TEAM.
Adrienne, Your assessment of CC and the WNBA is right on. Thank you for putting it in perspective with your pleasant manner. Appreciate You
Great award you give to her. CC shines a light on the other players in the league. Some of them show their good side and others unfortunately show their bad side for the new fans to see. They can't blame her for everything, they make their own beds. Her behavior should be an example to other people/players, her volunteering and helping visiting sick children are great things as well.
Thank you Adrienne for naming our Caitlin the "Adrienne Ross Athlete of the Year 2024". Thank you ALSO for calling IT what IT is, "The Caitlin Clark Effect". Caitlin will always be Caitlin by saying nice things when she has no reason to say nice things. She was born and raised in Iowa, raised by amazing parents, survived 2 brothers-just kidding, the brothers have survived her, lol-she was playing hoops with her brother Colin in their basement and they both went after a loose ball. She shoved him into the wall and he needed 4 staples in his head. She has spoken eloquently ever since she was interviewed in college. Never a bad word about anyone, and no matter who asked her or how many times she was asked about HER game, she would go through the names of every teammate and how much they contributed, specific plays or shots, it all came right off the tongue, she NEVER said anything about her own accomplishments until she had finished speaking about each of them. She has done the same thing with the Fever! She is not afraid to talk trash, but not until someone has said something to her first, something she feels deserves a response. In the Elite 8 against Louisville, 2023, in the 4th quarter, Hailey VanLith said something to her and we will probably never know what it was, but Caitlin's response was "Shut up, you're down by 15". End of conversation. Now I don't want to say she is a nun or a saint, she's not. I think it was against Mich. State in Feb. 2024, and the announcers said ahead of the game that we were going to get to see so much of Caitlin Clark that night because there were cameras ALL OVER the arena. They may have regretted that just a bit because during a time out or something, we got to see her walking towards the home basket, about mid-court, she had her towel with her and at the same moment, she bent over, slapped the court with the towel, and yelled FU*K!!! My husband and I absolutely roared, and watched it 2 more times. Later in the same game, she said it again only there was no audio or towel that time. We backed it up a couple of times just to make sure we were being accurate with our lip reading. We've learned it from football coaches over at least 30 years. Now they hide their mouths so you don't get to do that anymore, lol. We talk so much about her "logo 3's", but I believe it was that very same Michigan State game, there was no more than 5 seconds left and the score was tied. They were trying to get it inbounded to Caitlin, finally got it to Hannah Stuelke, and somehow she got it to Caitlin who was standing on the beak of the Tigerhawk at mid-court and drained the 3. The announcers called it "She shot it from THE BEAK"!!!! That was a 40' shot. In a later game, don't know which one right now, but from the other side of the court, they called it "from the feathers" of the Tigerhawk, another 40' shot. This is the best video you have made of her accomplishments. I was going to give you a bad time about a 3 time award she won that you didn't list, but it was because she didn't win it her senior year. She won the Dawn Staley award 3 times.
I keep coming back cause your content is quality and so are you 🙌 🙌
Thank you, Adrienne
1st player for me to ever watch play in W. 👍💪
All this and Nike gives Buekers a signature ball ahead of her. Big blunder Nike!
Amen
Should mention that she was also selected as the Sports Newsmaker of the Year by The Epoch Times. She was featured alongside 3 other individuals also awarded, President Trump, Elon Musk and President Milei from Argentina. Phenomenal achievement for CC.
My goddeness , is there any award this girl doesn't deserve?
❤️❤️❤️
Not surprised that a fangirl selects Caitlin Clark as her show's "Athlete of the Year."
Caitlin Clark is: The full phrase is "Let your speech always be full of grace, seasoned with salt," which is found in the Bible, specifically Colossians 4:6
Sometimes I watch your intro twice! A+ on it! I would love to be a fly on the wall in Sheryl Swoopes crib! Or maybe not cuz theres probably stuff flyin through the air that could squash me! Got a CC Indiana Fever T-shirt and Hoodie for X-mas from my girl, and am planning on attending a game this next season and CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHO WILL BE ON THE TEAM, ITS DRIVING ME SWOOPES (CRAZY)!
Enjoy your CC gear! 🔥
I know one, ma'am Adrienne, Larry the Legend Bird ❤
All I can say is I agree totally!
It has always been Caitlin Clark's dream to play in the WNBA, and that's the only reason that she is going to play in the League again this year 😃 so God Bless her 🙏, and maybe she will be ready once again for the ignorance of the black lesbians once again ❤.
A much deserved award for an extraordinary young a lady and athlete.
You could do raspberry awards for most toxic WNBA players, owners, and coaches as well as a special raspberry award for most ridiculous WNBA media coverage. But I think there will be so many positives coming out of Caitlyn on and off the court you won't have time to cover the nonsense.
❤❤❤
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
CC most points in season by point guard in WNBA history. Wow. ARS Athlete of Year. Wow. 1st team all WNBA as a rookie. Wow. WNBA season assists record. Wow. I'm getting my game time popcorn ready for the Fever's coming season.
