Both deserving tbh. Carter likes to bully but she can ball too. Caitlin isnt the greatest player of all time, yet. But its amazing how she just progresses. The Caitlin of the first 5 games, is not the Caitlin now. She truly is a generational talent.
My selection: Forwards - Hamby, Ogwumike, Bonner, J Jones, Reese, Magbegor Guards - Ogunbowale, Clark, McBride, R Howard I really want to see Reese and Clark as teammates. This would be box office for the All-Star Game. Also the dynamics of Clark & the rest of the WNBA Team versus the USA Team whom she was omitted from, is next level intrigue.
Not really. 50% of the vote is the fans and not every one of those fans are new and wouldn't vote for Martin since they would be familiar with league players. The other 50% are players and journalists and none of them would give Martin a vote over more deserving players. Maybe if it was 100% fan-based, but it isn't.
@@Barto-p4k Dang. ;-) Well, in that case I'll happily refrain from voting. I really don't care about an WNBA All-Star game (even the NBA ones have been an atrocity).
The selection of starters will be conducted through a combination of voting by fans (50 percent of the vote), current WNBA players (25 percent) and a national panel of sportswriters and broadcasters (25 percent). All current WNBA players will be available for selection. Members with an asterisk next to their names are TEAM USA. (Olympic team) vs Team WNBA (ALL STAR TEAM). Note: all members in the game are considered all stars. TEAM USA members selection is automatic to play in all-star game. Team WNBA: consist of the remaining top-voted players (not part of team USA).
Would have been fun to watch CC in the Olympics. Put her on a good team where the opponent team are less concerned about a jealous hatred and actually focused on winning. She would be exiting to watch.
Cant wait for CC to be the captain and select her team in the 2024 All-Star Game! It’s likely to be the most competitive All-Star event, with everyone eager to get in on the action.🎉 also to spice up All Star, they will do Team USA versus selected WNBA all stars
Marina Mabrey, a guard for the Chicago Sky in the WNBA, signed a three-year contract worth $620,000. Her average annual salary is approximately $206,667. In 2024, she will earn a base salary of $208,000 with a corresponding cap hit and dead cap value of the same amount1. Previously, she was with the Los Angeles Sparks, where her initial four-year contract had an average annual salary of $47,3811. Later, after being traded to the Dallas Wings, her salary increased to $57,0002. Although her career earnings are still growing, her net worth is estimated to be in the five-digit range3. 🏀💰
You know you can vote for picks once day until June 29th, right? Keep your favourites in and switch out a few alternates. I didn't think about McBride til now...🤔
Yeah, McBride is deserving but goes overlooked. She’s the best 3 point shooter in the league right now and is one of the main threats for a top 4 team.
Hamby a great pick. I voted 3 times already. Havent voted for Angel. Just too many good frontcourt players. Like Aaliyah Edwards and Aliyah Boston. I did vote for Carter and Mabrey from the Sky. And ofc Caitlin, the league's franchise player.
With the nba all star game fading away, will the wnba all star game get some shine. I think they have the potential and the wnba allstar 2024 will make a statement. How do fans feel? reply
I voted frontcourt: A'ja Wilson, Napheesa Collier, Alyssa Thomas, Jonquel Jones, Dearica Hamby, and my controversial pick is Ezi Magbegor from Seattle. I think even though she might not have the gaudy numbers, that she has been one of the main reasons for Seattles success. For guards I voted: Caitlin (homer pick), Sabrina Ionescu, Jewell Loyd, Kahleah Copper, Arike, McBride
According to your votes there will be 4 Connecticut Sun in this game with the 4th player being Alyssa Thomas who is an automatic inclusion from the USA National Team.
That might be one of the worst defensive backcourts in league history because it seems Mabrey is the only guard with slower foot speed than Clark, but I get you on the offensive side.
@@SinisterAristotle A good dribble and a wicked jumpshot will take you far in the WNBA. Like for all the grief Sky fans put on Mabrey. All Sky really got as a threat is Mabrey and Carter. Angel's paint camping for double-doubles not scaring a soul.
@@diIbert the sky were ranked LAST in preseason power rankings for a reason, presumably because they have a lot of talent gaps, are young, and have largely OVERACHIEVED so far. They really need a true PG who can create easy baskets and a SF who can defend the other team’s best guard / wing (Mabrey is a terrible defender because she’s too slow like Clark and Carter is too small).
@@SinisterAristotle Mabrey not their problem. Angel being so one dimensional is their problem. Angel really isnt a starter. But. She puts fans in seats so, it is what it is. They going to have-to trade Kamilla to fill holes. Because Angel Kamilla do same job. So one gotta go. Kamilla is a starter, she will be great on another team.
I been only voting for Ogwumike Clark and Collier not voting for anybody else on the Fever because of the way they treat Caitlin. I would Boston except she came into the season out of shape.
YO MICK, HERE IS A VIDEO IDEA FOR YOU- 'CUS APPARENTLY I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO REALIZED IT....

@@rachelhileman9062 What has that got to do with it? Its for picking the all-stars to play team USA. Now if one feels there are more deserving players then that's another thing.
@@SinisterAristotle Lol I guess. Sun just have a great ball distribution system. Next year their head coach going to be recruited by deeper pocket teams.
@@diIbert i also give it to her for defense. She’s one of the best defensive guards in the league. Defense seems to be even more important in the WNBA than NBA because the former hasn’t adopted the ‘freedom of movement’ rule. They’re actually allowed to play defense.

Just voted for caitlin cause i don't trust players votes.

Amen

You see a menace 😂
Both deserving tbh. Carter likes to bully but she can ball too.
Caitlin isnt the greatest player of all time, yet. But its amazing how she just progresses. The Caitlin of the first 5 games, is not the Caitlin now. She truly is a generational talent.
Today's All-Star picks:
Guards; Skylar Diggins Smith, Caitlin Clarke, Arike Ogunbowale, and Kayla Mcbride.
Forwards; Dearica Hanby, Jonquel Jones, Angel Reese, Ezi Magbegor, Nneke Ogwumike, and Dewanna Bonner.
You picked almost exactly the same ones I did. Can't leave Diggins Smith off of the all-star team as Mick did.
@@nomorenoless6156 Nice one! Which of yours were different?
My selection: Forwards - Hamby, Ogwumike, Bonner, J Jones, Reese, Magbegor
Guards - Ogunbowale, Clark, McBride, R Howard
I really want to see Reese and Clark as teammates. This would be box office for the All-Star Game. Also the dynamics of Clark & the rest of the WNBA Team versus the USA Team whom she was omitted from, is next level intrigue.
If the new WNBA fans coordinate just a little bit, Kate Martin will make the All-Star team behind Caitlin Clark just to show their fan power.
Not really. 50% of the vote is the fans and not every one of those fans are new and wouldn't vote for Martin since they would be familiar with league players. The other 50% are players and journalists and none of them would give Martin a vote over more deserving players. Maybe if it was 100% fan-based, but it isn't.

Yep. I change alts based on games. Like I just voted for Smith after her great game against Sky, Sunday.
Yeah, McBride is deserving but goes overlooked. She’s the best 3 point shooter in the league right now and is one of the main threats for a top 4 team.

Those people are on the other team.
The picks are for the All-Star team that is to play Team USA. Picking a player already playing in that game, on the Olympic side, is a wasted pick.

People don't go to the All Star Game to watch defense. Pick whoever is scoring buckets
Reason why I voted Mabrey. Man if Caitlin had her in the backcourt with her that would be sweet.

All star game not about defense!
They are playing Team USA, not each other which is the usual. It gets competitive. In 2021, the All-Stars beat the Olympic team.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I voted for Dijonai Carrington just because she has been Caitlin Clark's mom.

Rhyne Howard in not an alternate for the 5x5. She's either playing 3x3 or not at all.
Why do people waste to vote on Cameron Brinks?
OH CRAP! I totally forgot about the Olympics when I made my pics!
You can vote every day and some days are worth double
I would take Ezi over Angel. I hear you…. Atkins deserves it too…. I’d choose Atkins over Howard who I love only because Howard is on 3x3 team.
I keep forgetting the 3x3 even though thats likely only thing Im a watch. Because Brink is on it.
