My daughter is a basketball player and wanted to see Elena Della Donne because she is the only WNBA player ever to have 50%/40%/90% in a season. We bought tickets, but Elena did not play that night.Massive disappointment. And that was only game until Caitlin. Now we watch ever Fever game.
The WNBA should mandate workshops for players and coaches to enhance their ability to handle PR-related tasks, such as interviews and speeches. This will help increase dramatically the market value of WNBA
I agree, I feel all athletes in all sports could use some coaching on how to speak to the media, since it can be a daunting task for such young individuals. But the first thing that came into my head when reading your comment was the charm/grace classes in the movie "A League of Their Own" lol.
Lessons in how to handle an interview would be a great place to start. But to be honest, coaching on personal finance and possibly some forced saving of their earnings for young professional athletes would be a great addition to their lives. How many pros are found to be bankrupt after they leave the sports world having earned millions of dollars? It is rare to see a young pro make good use of that money. A few I'm aware of: Mel Farr from 50 years ago signed a contract with the Lions that demanded he receive training in the retail car business. He spent his off seasons as a car salesman, then manager, then dealership owner. The Lions also had a rookie receiver that despite his contract, his wife and him had committed to each other to live on a salary of $67K. This was reveled when he had an accident in his 20 year old beater from when he was in high school. Understanding how to handle money would go a long way for these young people.
Caitlin is the absolute engine of what the Fever does on offense, and they’ve been WINNING because of her and Aaliyah Boston being a great duo. 40% FG, averaging 16.7 points, 7.6 assists and 5.9 rebounds. LEADING THE LEAGUE IN ASSISTS First rookie league history with a Triple Double. First rookie to record 400 points, 150 assists and 100 rebounds in a single season. Best court vision in the league, most likely will be top 5 in MVP talks.
The fever should be winning more games and I think the big factor that’s holding the team back is their head coach! She doesn’t know how to use Clark to her full potential and it’s really frustrating to watch. She has Clark on a short leash and just needs to trust in her more to run that offense somewhat
Right at end DP said it perfectly. Teams are planning to stop Clark, she is being doubled much of the time, even picked up in the back court. AR isn’t drawing any of that. She’s a great rebounder but she needs to rebuild her jump shot from the ground up.
perfectly said, and no disrespect to AR. Personally, CC's game is way more exciting to watch. AR's is predictably boring and ugly. If I was 6ft and playing 1v1 against CC? She'll probably beat me 1 out of 3. I'm no slouch to the game. But me at 6"3', there's no WAY AR is going to beat me.
AR is getting doubled teamed. She’s not getting picked up back court well because she’s not a backcourt player lol Nor does she shoot from distance. What kind of qualifier is that
Harden in Westbrook were named MVPs in the NBA as well as leading the league in turnovers that particular year. LeBron James has the all-time record turnovers in the NBA . Therefore, when you handle the ball 60% of the time or more, you tend to have more turnovers than anyone else
Lebron was a very good defensive player though. Harden and Westbrook also. They are also all pretty tall - big : Which means they can guard a lot of players. What Westrbook lacks in height, he has incredibly explosive athleticism and burst. Clark does not possess that - most all would admit. Caitlin #1. Is not big at all. 2) she doesn't have great speed like Kelsey Plum etc. 3) BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY in her negatives; She often DOES NOT EVEN TRY on defense. (If you need detailed confirmation: I saw a game last month where I counted FIVE times at least that caitlin was right at the rim but just let her opponent go right in for a layup - no contesting the shot. NO heart, no effort to even make the shot difficult or use one of her 6 fouls She gets riled up and motivated when she dislikes someone: Like Angel Reese in the LSU game or Chicago SKy game. But even then she's sometimes lazy on defense - Reese caught that BOMB full court pass over Clarks head bc she wasn't trying on defense. This is a problem. SHe will need to improve.
Exactly, I had the same thought....you have to factor in how much she handles the ball and the fact she's just a rookie and learning her new teammates and system...now that she's settled in more I'm sure she will cut back on some of those turnovers...she had one last game where she stepped on the sideline on a shot attempt...don't know if that one counted as a turnover though.
Reese is the least polished Rookie of the Year candidate I've ever seen in any sport. She's completely awkward out there and not in a Jokic kind of way. Instead of shooting, she just flings the ball at the basket - sometimes without even looking. I've seen people compare her shooting percentage with Clark's and saying that somehow means Reese is better. Makes me think these people don't even know basketball. A 2 foot shoot is always a higher percentage shot than a 20+ footer.
Whoops, this is in Google. I didn't read the part about "rookie". I'll take the post down in a little bit. ....She also now owns the most double-double games by a rookie guard in WNBA history with eight. Clark is the first rookie since Sue Bird in 2002 to have more than three double doubles, and she still has 16 games left in her debut season. “She just does what she does,” coach Christie Sides said of Clark's game.
The 12 WNBA owners were asked anonymously to name the player they could build their teams around. 6 of them picked Clark. Most of the others (5 of 6) picked AJai Wilson who I started watching this year and she is superb. Very different player- big- plays a Tim Duncan like power forward. She’s also much older - late 20s- and she is going to be MVP. I would probably go youth and Clark but I can see Wilson being picked. That’s the sort of discussions we should be having about Clark because the ROY debate is so over, it’s actually an after thought.
I never thought I'd see a better player than Taurasi in her prime...but CC is a better player by far in terms of impact...I also think she's more talented in terms of passing and shot making ability...as good as Taurasi was I don't think she had that "wow" factor...CC makes plays that make me go wow...I mean, some of those cross over dribble step backs I only see in the NBA...we've never seen anything like her in the woman's game...and instead of celebrating all the players want to do is moan and complain and poo poo what shes doing...sad people.
I know where you’re coming from but I always thought Bird was better than Taurasi as a basketball player. Taurasi was a better shooter, and the media loves that. However, they are lacking in fundamentals of everything they talk about.
CC has more blocks than Reese 😂😂 as a PG! All Reese can do is rebound which is her job via her position. When did we start celebrating people doing what theyre supposed to do😂. Jokic should tell every big playing basketball what the expectation is from the position. All Reese HAD going for her is rebounds bruh...you cant make this up. CC breaks a recird literally every time she plays this is crazy wirk out here trynna pump up Reese's Pieces.
@@blacktonight2919One thing is certain, Reese needs to spend her off season with an experienced NBA shooting coach that specializes in the post position. Her misses around the bucket are becoming legendary.
Caitlin Clark is a rookie that plays like a total package veteran, playing intelligent basketball. Angel Reese is not a team player only cares about her personal stats.
Have not watched NBA years! Clark has me watching basketball Again.Wnba as league is more like Semi pro basketball there's about 20 good players the rest not so much.
Can't compare a guard to a power forward. It's like sayin Kyrie breaks ankles but Julie's Randle doesn't. Are you CC fans like 5 year olds? Your logic is childish
@@ghsense2626 this was an unfair comparison. However the maturity level of Reese fans sure seem to be the ones that are childish. But, I’m not sure even you would admit that Reese is even competent at dribbling. Even Randell can take one to the rim when all alone. Reese went for the double-double dribble.
@basilfawlty241 Tell me how it's an unfair comparison. Is CC not a PG like Kyrie at the same position? Is Randle not a powerforward like Reese? I know you CC fans were delusionals but I guess you're liars aswell. Whether Randle can dribble or whatever how many times have you seen him doing a crossover and twisting someone's ankle as a powerforward? CC fans literally have no common sense
Angel Reese came to the WNBA to do the EXACT same thing we’ve been seeing for years…Layups and rebounds 😒 She is very effective and good at what she does…. But Caitlin is something we’ve never seen. Even Angel fans just need to be honest with themselves
CC has a bigger impact on her teams succes than Reece does by far...Dawn Staley just doesnt like CC...just like many of the jealous WNBA players like Angel Reece.
@@GerardoGarcia-no2wr GO AHEAD AND SAY DAWN IS RACIST AND YES I SAID IT AS ARE MOST OF THE WNBA BECAUSE CLARK IS WHITE THEY WILL DO ABOUT ANYTHING TO PUT CLARK DOWN. THEY USE REESE FOR SOME DUMB DOUBLE DOUBLE BS WHE 13 OF HER REBOUNES WERE OF HER OWN MISS SHOTS SHE STAY UNDER THE RIM AND THE DUMB REF DON'T CALL IT
Couldn't agree more,CC is the engine for that team with big responsibility and even in her first year leads the W in assists.Top twenty in every category which is also amazing
One player is three dimensional, selfless and turns the ball over trying to win games, the other is a beast of a rebounder who tries every game to get a double double. It shouldn’t be an argument
Hakeem Olajuwon is a great player, arguably the best center of his era and among the greatest of all time, hall of famer. His rookie year he had 20.6 PPG and 11.9 RPG, 2.7 BPG, 4th in the league in rebounds per game, 2nd in blocks per game. Took a losing team the prior year to the playoffs. Amazing stats, a great season by any metric, and most seasons probably would win RotY going away. But he happened to be in the same draft class as some guy named Michael Jordan. It's no slight on Angel Reese if Clark wins the award and people need to stop finding excuses for her to be in the discussion. This WNBA rookie class is one of the best of all time. Decades from now people will talk about how deep it was and how many great players and future all stars were in it, how it changed the perception and viewership of the W. Angel Reese will absolutely have a great career and be regarded as a star for decades to come. But there's one player who is doing things that nobody else is doing, has ever done. Turnovers? Clark is going to average 4-5 or so every season of her career, because she is always looking for an easy basket for her teammates and insists on having the ball to start every possession, and other teams will continue to completely alter their defensive gameplan to try to slow her. Everyone pointed to it in college too, like her creating 20-30 points a game through her passing alone while other teams sold out to try to slow her down didn't justify a turnover or two more over the mean. Led one of the highest scoring offenses in the NCAA, despite constant double teams, box-and-1s, facing the full focus of the best defender on every squad. Her average this season will be high, simply because of the growing pains of the early season skewing the numbers, but she's got it back down to around where it was all four years of college over the past month or so, and it'll get even lower over the next few years as she hones her handle and understanding of the defenses and defenders she's facing. Nah, Caitlin Clark is where the conversation starts and ends. Anybody with eyeballs who is watching the games and not just reading box scores can see it.
I never watched wnba till this year now I'm a big fan. I love the big three on the fever. Wnba reminds me of old time NBA. It's more exciting than NBA. Without the dunk ,but it takes skill to play the lady's style. And usually close games.
That’s a damn lie. You don’t know this balxk woman. You try to down a forward and do t know nothing. AR is better on both sides of the floor. CC do t play defense man! She don’t!!!! She is not shooting the 3 well at all. Why do y’all think she’s that good. She’s popular, yes! But she don’t play on both sides. And that was facts. Lol
@@timleggett8194 If CC doesn't play defense, why does she have more blocks than Reese? And Reese is shooting 41% in the paint, which means she's basically missing layups... LAYUPS.
The only reason I'm watching this channel right now is Caitlin Clark. No disrespect to this channel, but it's the truth. If it weren't for Caitlin Clark, I wouldn't have any idea who Angel Rees is.
Caitlin has contributed to over 230 points between assists and her own shots in the last 5 games played. Angel in her last game, put up 8 points with 1 assist.
I understand the point you are trying to make, but if you want to use stats more effectively, you need to use data that spans over the same time period. Comparing Clark's last 5 games vs Reese's last 1 game is not fair representation.
@truthiscensored bias? It's facts. Angel between points and assists has contributed to around 80 points in the last 5 games...different positions blah blah...it's also facts that besides turnovers, Caitlin is crushing it in every stat, wellllll over Angel...but it's OK, she got her 15 double doubles... you plan on keeping angel in that ROTY conversation, now that little "run" is over with, she's gonna need to play some ball and put up SERIOUS stats.
@deuceT that's true and you're correct... I did look it up and in the last 5 games, between points and assists, Angel has put up around 80...not bad, but definitely far from 230. If Angel expects to still be in this ROTY conversation, now that her double double run is over, she NEEDS to put up better over stats...just in general imo
Passer, 3 pointer, the coach holds her back so much. She needs to let Caitlin play. She’s capable of making 30:40, turnovers are from teammates need to learn to catch. They need to practice
Good one Dan. I would love to see Weatherspoon come out today and say "from this day forward we are going through Angel Reese". Next year they will have the number one pick in the draft.
Actually, Reese wasn’t the best player on that LSU championship team. At least not on that night. She was the most remembered because of what she did when the game concluded.
@@kylemurray3526 Angel Reese is just jealous. She stalks Caitlin Clark on social media too. Every time there’s a story about Clark, she injects herself into the conversation and says what about me.
@@AJXOXO-vz1pn It’s not even subtle. It very obviously bothers her and always has going back to that game. She’s just not that good. It’s why Clark beat her the next year. Alexis Morris and Jasmine Carson weren’t both there to bail her out that time.
What amazes me is people that knows basketball thinks this is a contest. Dennis Rodman was one of the best rebounders and defenders of all time and never mentioned as mvp Caitlin is Magic and Bird combined Insane Racism much?
A lot of people were making a big deal about CCs slow start talking about the sky falling...have we forgotten chemistry takes time and practicing with your teammates...CC didn't get enough practice in to start the season...also her teammates were adjusting to playing with her and CC was adjusting to playing with new teammates...and it also turns out this team is a lot better than what people thought...CC looks a lot more comfortable now and she is now the engine that makes that team go...it also looks like strength wasn't the issue although it wouldn't help if she continued to get stronger.
And how about having BY FAR the hardest schedule to start out. A young team that had, what...12? practices against veteran Olympian loaded and all start loaded rosters who were fully rested. It was as if the WNBA wanted the Fever to fail. She's a rookie. All rookies in almost every professional sport, struggle. There are going to be bad games, like CC had yesterday. (until the 4th)
@@jek4837 actually never her seen her play or heard of her until this year....I only watch games when the Fever are on...CC is must a watch in my book.
Reese is a role player. Thats not a knock. Rodman was a role player. CC is the centerpiece of their offense. She controls the floor. The other team gameplans to shut her down. Reese doesn’t have those responsibilities.
@@James-m9othat ring dont mean shit anymore. This isnt college ball anymore. Nobody remembers a player for what they did in college, its about how they did or do as a pro.
@@James-m9o Is that the same championship where Reese was a dismal 5/12 while getting carried by Alexis Morris and Jasmine Carson having the best game of her career with 5/6 from three? Reese was terrible in that game.
1) You never saw a Pistol Pete pass? Have you tried TH-cam.? .2) Even Clark’s teammates readily say most of her TOs are their fault as they are not used to catching such hard and fast passes in such tight spots. 3) Actually watchin the games, Metto is just an average WNBA player having an average year. Half of her rebounds are from her own missed shots and even the opposing teams are helping her pad her stats. She is more about herself than winning, crying for the ball inside in the last few seconds when the game is already over.
Totally agree! She is fanatic on the court and putting butts in seats and moving ratings up. I’m 56 yrs old and a major NBA fan and only started to watch the WNBA this season solely to see CC play.
People arguing Caitlin Clark has too many turnovers is like arguing Ozzie Smith is a terrible defensive shortstop because he had too many errors. Smith's range, resulted in more chances resulted in more errors, but the chances turned a lot of plays into outs. Same with Clark, her vision resulted in more opportunistic passes resulted in more turnovers but also more buckets for her team.
Odds got even longer after this weekend and Clark’s comeback win against lynx and Mercury. Clark -1100 vs Reese +450. That’s a 94% likely win for Clark. Good luck.
*Reese who? Surely, you're not talking about that fake double double stat padder being a great player?? That's like saying my Guinea pig is great at catching Frisbee.*
Hey Dan, watch u for years, the WNBA doesn't like or really want Clark. She's smart, classy, white, straight, but most of all good at the game. The antithesis of the WNBA.
She’s so different than any player I’ve ever seen! Immediately after saying “I’ve never watched women’s basketball before” The jokes write themselves 😂😂😂
Found some stats and this is from ESPN. This is the leader board. Points: CC = 14 AR = 24 Rebounds: AR = 1 CC = 19 Assists: CC = 1 AR = Outside top 50 Blocks: (How can a point guard make more blocks than a forward? ) CC = 14 AR = 35 3 Points Made: CC = 4 AR = Outside top 50 Steals: CC = 9 AR = 10 Apart from rebounds (which is 30% her own miss?), CC leads on other stats. Numbers don't lie.
The one knock everyone uses against CC is the turnovers like she's the only one in history to have a lot of turnovers. Well Magic, Steph, LBJ, Nash, and others have led the NBA in turnovers as well... They turned out okay, didn't they? If people are going to just point that out and forget about all of CC's positives, then they're just haters.
I figured that CC only needs 26 Assists to brake the rookie Assists record with 15 games left,,, that's about 1.73 Assists a game?? So I'm wondering how much over is CC going to have over the Record??? 😂LMAO🤣 Oh,, I forgot to say she is also only 20 points away from the rookie scoring record,,, with 15 games left,,,
@@omni-man4624 I think I was wrong on the scoring record. The internet is saying now that she has the scoring record already with 421 points. Not unless the internet is lying. 🤷♂️
Watching the Fever's games has been absolutely entertaining. I have watched other teams like NY, Chicago and Las Vegas. So far, this year has been very special and it's really all because of Caitlin Clark.
Caitlin Clark is exactly where she needs to be. Just watch Caitlin will bring the Fever team to new heights. They will come to play Caitlin's style and they will be a force and a winning team. That is what happened at Iowa.
1.) Every great rookie has to put in their time on a bad team look at Wembanyama. The Fever had the #1 pick for a reason. 2.) I'd rather see the Fever players get better and gel like the Nuggets vs ring chasing and building a superteam.
Clark is the first WNBA rookie to post 400+ points, 150+ assists, and 100+ rebounds in a season. Basically, the best all-around rookie of all time, and there are still at least 15 more games to go. It’s not complicated.
They come back to 11 more games after the break. Rest and practice with team will, I expect, make a vastly improved team that has already turned the corner. She will obliterate the rookie records and the W assists record.
Soccer and Football help you anticipate, baseball trains you to react quickly not knowing what's coming. Dudes who played Football, Baseball and Basketball are usually beasts in whichever sport they land on professionally.
Agree with the first part, disagree with the second. Sky is a revamped team with a new coach. Their top scorer wasn't even in the league last year. I'm not big on analytics, but the numbers say the Sky is better with Reese.
CC played like 🗑️ yesterday if she played well yesterday then I’d agree the race is over but she was 2-11 from 3 and 5-17 from the floor and had 6 more turnovers!
She help them beat the top 2 team in the W. It's a team sport. Everyone is expecting her to drop 30 a night with 8 assist. That is unrealistic. 17/3/6. Sure she didn't have the best shooting night, but fk, I rather have her shot the ball than anyone else. It's like when kobe have an off night, I would still rather have him shot it than the role players.
It's absolutely RIDICULOUS for anyone else to be considered for ROTY. Caitlin Clark is a super-star! In fact, she is the most impactful player in the history of the WNBA.
People who say Caitlyn Clark can only shoot just are not watching the games. She may be the best passer in WNBA history. She’s rewriting the record books for assists.
Pistol Pete was great, don't forget about Jason Williams (White Chocolate). He was darn good as well. CC has the same mindset when it comes to passing!

A few I'm aware of: Mel Farr from 50 years ago signed a contract with the Lions that demanded he receive training in the retail car business. He spent his off seasons as a car salesman, then manager, then dealership owner. The Lions also had a rookie receiver that despite his contract, his wife and him had committed to each other to live on a salary of $67K. This was reveled when he had an accident in his 20 year old beater from when he was in high school. Understanding how to handle money would go a long way for these young people.
I bet Coach Reeve doesn't get two sh*ts about that idea! 😉
Clark can do a webinar on media communication 😂😂-- she’s the best player to commissioner.
CC is the ROY, it is not close... She is already arguably the best playmaker in the game.
Prolific
Caitlin is the absolute engine of what the Fever does on offense, and they’ve been WINNING because of her and Aaliyah Boston being a great duo.
40% FG, averaging 16.7 points, 7.6 assists and 5.9 rebounds.
LEADING THE LEAGUE IN ASSISTS
First rookie league history with a Triple Double.
First rookie to record 400 points, 150 assists and 100 rebounds in a single season.
Best court vision in the league, most likely will be top 5 in MVP talks.
Maybe best court vision in the history of the Wnba.
Skylar Diggins Smith enters the chat.
Nah best court vision is chelsea gray. Her passes are far superior to Clark's. Y'all dont know what yall be talking about half the time lol
@@user-vq3xf4bf9qnah, Caitlin is definitely a better passer than Gray
The fever should be winning more games and I think the big factor that’s holding the team back is their head coach! She doesn’t know how to use Clark to her full potential and it’s really frustrating to watch. She has Clark on a short leash and just needs to trust in her more to run that offense somewhat
Right at end DP said it perfectly. Teams are planning to stop Clark, she is being doubled much of the time, even picked up in the back court. AR isn’t drawing any of that. She’s a great rebounder but she needs to rebuild her jump shot from the ground up.
perfectly said, and no disrespect to AR. Personally, CC's game is way more exciting to watch. AR's is predictably boring and ugly. If I was 6ft and playing 1v1 against CC? She'll probably beat me 1 out of 3. I'm no slouch to the game. But me at 6"3', there's no WAY AR is going to beat me.
@@HookemFishingKeep crying n hating on her ...No one cares 😂🤣😂😂
@@anthonykadjei007 lol!
AR is getting doubled teamed. She’s not getting picked up back court well because she’s not a backcourt player lol Nor does she shoot from distance. What kind of qualifier is that

Harden in Westbrook were named MVPs in the NBA as well as leading the league in turnovers that particular year.
LeBron James has the all-time record turnovers in the NBA .
Therefore, when you handle the ball 60% of the time or more, you tend to have more turnovers than anyone else
Facts!
Thanks for the hard data.
Exactly.
Lebron was a very good defensive player though.
Harden and Westbrook also.
They are also all pretty tall - big : Which means they can guard a lot of players. What Westrbook lacks in height, he has incredibly explosive athleticism and burst.
Clark does not possess that - most all would admit.
Caitlin #1. Is not big at all. 2) she doesn't have great speed like Kelsey Plum etc.
3) BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY in her negatives; She often DOES NOT EVEN TRY on defense. (If you need detailed confirmation: I saw a game last month where I counted FIVE times at least that caitlin was right at the rim but just let her opponent go right in for a layup - no contesting the shot. NO heart, no effort to even make the shot difficult or use one of her 6 fouls
She gets riled up and motivated when she dislikes someone: Like Angel Reese in the LSU game or Chicago SKy game. But even then she's sometimes lazy on defense - Reese caught that BOMB full court pass over Clarks head bc she wasn't trying on defense.
This is a problem. SHe will need to improve.
Exactly, I had the same thought....you have to factor in how much she handles the ball and the fact she's just a rookie and learning her new teammates and system...now that she's settled in more I'm sure she will cut back on some of those turnovers...she had one last game where she stepped on the sideline on a shot attempt...don't know if that one counted as a turnover though.
Reese is the least polished Rookie of the Year candidate I've ever seen in any sport. She's completely awkward out there and not in a Jokic kind of way. Instead of shooting, she just flings the ball at the basket - sometimes without even looking. I've seen people compare her shooting percentage with Clark's and saying that somehow means Reese is better. Makes me think these people don't even know basketball. A 2 foot shoot is always a higher percentage shot than a 20+ footer.
At the moment, as I'm typing this, Caitlyn Clark has more double-doubles than any rookie GUARD ever.
No she doesn’t
That's complete bs. Didn't they teach you hicks to count?
That's not close to true. Reese has twice as many as Clark. She set the league record and averages a double-double per game.
Whoops, this is in Google. I didn't read the part about "rookie". I'll take the post down in a little bit.
....She also now owns the most double-double games by a rookie guard in WNBA history with eight. Clark is the first rookie since Sue Bird in 2002 to have more than three double doubles, and she still has 16 games left in her debut season. “She just does what she does,” coach Christie Sides said of Clark's game.
Rookie "guard" not plain "rookie"
The 12 WNBA owners were asked anonymously to name the player they could build their teams around. 6 of them picked Clark. Most of the others (5 of 6) picked AJai Wilson who I started watching this year and she is superb. Very different player- big- plays a Tim Duncan like power forward. She’s also much older - late 20s- and she is going to be MVP. I would probably go youth and Clark but I can see Wilson being picked. That’s the sort of discussions we should be having about Clark because the ROY debate is so over, it’s actually an after thought.
I never thought I'd see a better player than Taurasi in her prime...but CC is a better player by far in terms of impact...I also think she's more talented in terms of passing and shot making ability...as good as Taurasi was I don't think she had that "wow" factor...CC makes plays that make me go wow...I mean, some of those cross over dribble step backs I only see in the NBA...we've never seen anything like her in the woman's game...and instead of celebrating all the players want to do is moan and complain and poo poo what shes doing...sad people.
I know where you’re coming from but I always thought Bird was better than Taurasi as a basketball player. Taurasi was a better shooter, and the media loves that. However, they are lacking in fundamentals of everything they talk about.
CC is now the assist leader in all WNBA. She should replace Diana Taurasi or Chelsea Gray for the Team USA. There is no comparison.
Not with a coach who hates her
Should? Yes. But let’s give her a month of rest so she and Aliyah can come back and dazzle us beyond our wildest dreams in the second half of year!

Never seen Reese break any ankles on the court like CC has done at least twice to defenders. ROTY for the most broken ankles.
I've seen at least 4! From CC...
Can't compare a guard to a power forward. It's like sayin Kyrie breaks ankles but Julie's Randle doesn't. Are you CC fans like 5 year olds? Your logic is childish
Reese just breaks backboards with that ugly AF shot of hers while padding her rebound stats.
@@ghsense2626 this was an unfair comparison. However the maturity level of Reese fans sure seem to be the ones that are childish.
But, I’m not sure even you would admit that Reese is even competent at dribbling. Even Randell can take one to the rim when all alone. Reese went for the double-double dribble.
@basilfawlty241 Tell me how it's an unfair comparison. Is CC not a PG like Kyrie at the same position? Is Randle not a powerforward like Reese? I know you CC fans were delusionals but I guess you're liars aswell.

😂😂😂😂 This is the dumbest thing ever
MAGIC JOHSON HAD 41/2 TURN OERS AGAME WHEN HE CAME IN THE LEAGE
Absolutely no contest!!!! Cc is superior in all aspects -- this intire story line is just to keep people reading......
Hakeem Olajuwon is a great player, arguably the best center of his era and among the greatest of all time, hall of famer. His rookie year he had 20.6 PPG and 11.9 RPG, 2.7 BPG, 4th in the league in rebounds per game, 2nd in blocks per game. Took a losing team the prior year to the playoffs. Amazing stats, a great season by any metric, and most seasons probably would win RotY going away. But he happened to be in the same draft class as some guy named Michael Jordan. It's no slight on Angel Reese if Clark wins the award and people need to stop finding excuses for her to be in the discussion. This WNBA rookie class is one of the best of all time. Decades from now people will talk about how deep it was and how many great players and future all stars were in it, how it changed the perception and viewership of the W. Angel Reese will absolutely have a great career and be regarded as a star for decades to come. But there's one player who is doing things that nobody else is doing, has ever done.
Turnovers? Clark is going to average 4-5 or so every season of her career, because she is always looking for an easy basket for her teammates and insists on having the ball to start every possession, and other teams will continue to completely alter their defensive gameplan to try to slow her. Everyone pointed to it in college too, like her creating 20-30 points a game through her passing alone while other teams sold out to try to slow her down didn't justify a turnover or two more over the mean. Led one of the highest scoring offenses in the NCAA, despite constant double teams, box-and-1s, facing the full focus of the best defender on every squad. Her average this season will be high, simply because of the growing pains of the early season skewing the numbers, but she's got it back down to around where it was all four years of college over the past month or so, and it'll get even lower over the next few years as she hones her handle and understanding of the defenses and defenders she's facing.
Nah, Caitlin Clark is where the conversation starts and ends. Anybody with eyeballs who is watching the games and not just reading box scores can see it.
I never watched wnba till this year now I'm a big fan. I love the big three on the fever. Wnba reminds me of old time NBA. It's more exciting than NBA. Without the dunk ,but it takes skill to play the lady's style. And usually close games.

Compare the last 5 games for Resse and include Rebounds which give extra possessions or your narrative is very bias
I understand the point you are trying to make, but if you want to use stats more effectively, you need to use data that spans over the same time period.
Comparing Clark's last 5 games vs Reese's last 1 game is not fair representation.
@truthiscensored bias? It's facts. Angel between points and assists has contributed to around 80 points in the last 5 games...different positions blah blah...it's also facts that besides turnovers, Caitlin is crushing it in every stat, wellllll over Angel...but it's OK, she got her 15 double doubles... you plan on keeping angel in that ROTY conversation, now that little "run" is over with, she's gonna need to play some ball and put up SERIOUS stats.
@deuceT that's true and you're correct... I did look it up and in the last 5 games, between points and assists, Angel has put up around 80...not bad, but definitely far from 230.

A lot of people were making a big deal about CCs slow start talking about the sky falling...have we forgotten chemistry takes time and practicing with your teammates...CC didn't get enough practice in to start the season...also her teammates were adjusting to playing with her and CC was adjusting to playing with new teammates...and it also turns out this team is a lot better than what people thought...CC looks a lot more comfortable now and she is now the engine that makes that team go...it also looks like strength wasn't the issue although it wouldn't help if she continued to get stronger.
The sky isn't falling, but maybe the Sky is. 🙂

Half of her rebounds are from her own missed shots and even the opposing teams are helping her pad her stats. She is more about herself than winning, crying for the ball inside in the last few seconds when the game is already over.
Totally agree! She is fanatic on the court and putting butts in seats and moving ratings up. I’m 56 yrs old and a major NBA fan and only started to watch the WNBA this season solely to see CC play.
People arguing Caitlin Clark has too many turnovers is like arguing Ozzie Smith is a terrible defensive shortstop because he had too many errors. Smith's range, resulted in more chances resulted in more errors, but the chances turned a lot of plays into outs. Same with Clark, her vision resulted in more opportunistic passes resulted in more turnovers but also more buckets for her team.
Odds got even longer after this weekend and Clark’s comeback win against lynx and Mercury. Clark -1100 vs Reese +450. That’s a 94% likely win for Clark. Good luck.

Clark is the first WNBA rookie to post 400+ points, 150+ assists, and 100+ rebounds in a season. Basically, the best all-around rookie of all time, and there are still at least 15 more games to go. It’s not complicated.
They come back to 11 more games after the break. Rest and practice with team will, I expect, make a vastly improved team that has already turned the corner. She will obliterate the rookie records and the W assists record.

People who say Caitlyn Clark can only shoot just are not watching the games. She may be the best passer in WNBA history. She’s rewriting the record books for assists.
Pistol Pete was great, don't forget about Jason Williams (White Chocolate). He was darn good as well. CC has the same mindset when it comes to passing!
FINALLY. I'm sick of disingenuous arguments. "Oh, uh the Sky have a better record." "Uhh Clark leads the league in turnovers." *JUST STOP IT ALREADY*
