Do you realize that all this drama was created to make money? If you back up and look at multiple sports in need of $injections.... this is a regular spin. Make a sport into a Broadway play and sell good vs evil. It is every so many years that one takes hold and makes "real" drama.
Reese is not a great player by any stretch of the imagination. She is ok and plays her role and is a decent rebounder. But she is not ROY, not even close .
The minute it's obvious Clark is the better player Reese is starting to attack the Clark fans personally and play the victim game but it's so easy to prove statements are completely false
Must be one of those new Clark fans, search the internet and find racist post about Reese and then for Clark.. none for Clark! She's human Clark has not delt with what this lady has and obvious neither have you
Starting off saying they are playing at an equally impactful level is disingenuous from the start. One is missing one footers to pad stats for double doubles. The other has a real PER to back her play
Can’t beat the refs I’m sure she knows that, some day she will lose control and will be sat down for a game, and her whole team will lose, must learn how to control that temper
Records broken despite a slump in the first half of the season and still in some games after that. Her rookie records will be difficult to break for future players.
She is just great !! good for the game and better for the league... and some people hate her????? crazy, she makes everyone better and brings more $$$ to the league
All right coming to live from Oshkosh Wisconsin the home of Tyrese Haliburton I’m trying to convince Kaitlyn Clark to come on the Oshkosh for a weekend of some fun and some food and some relaxation after the playoffs are over and you’ve got the championship please consider coming home with Tyrese to Oshkosh for a weekend we’ll go out to The Roxy and have a great steak dinner and some great conversation
OK people this is monkey man Dale coming to live from Oshkosh Wisconsin USA Houma Tyrese Haliburton one hell of a basketball player just giving a shout out to Caitlin Clark best female basketball player on the court today
Hey! the Inaugural WNBA 1997 year and the next decade gave Huge Opportunities for players to stack stats and have many Honors. These same old WNBA Veterans refuse to accept or embrace what has occurred in the WNBA here is 2024. It is a new Era of the WNBA which has arrived 27 years later. Please support the WNBA that you were part of only to make it better and not drag it through the mud. Have Pride and Respect for the game of basketball you once loved. There is no room for discontent and hate. Caitlin Clark has had 4 games out of 39 games with 30 or more points scored. Several within 1 or 2 points shy of 30. 5th in Most Points in this season, 1st in Assists per Game, 1st in 3 point shots made, CC is ranked the 8th best player out of 93 players in the 2024 WNBA season and remember she is a Rookie. Yes! CC has had numerous and the most turnovers in 1 WNBA season, but how many of her teammates should be blamed for bobbling or fumbling the pass. CC is not hogging the ball, if she was then most likely would have the Most Points scored in a WNBA Season Record. Hogging the ball also would mean not having an Assist record. All around Caitlin Clark is a well above average player and possibly become one of the Legends of the WNBA. Beyond all this, CC is the persona that brought widespread attention to the WNBA like no other person ever has in the past. Remember, things do not last forever. Hype and hysteria this year and next year could be "Who Cares?". But it is a good story and has been very Entertaining this year. Indiana Fever are into the Playoffs for the 1st time since 2016. They have had a fortunate run of wins against mid to lower teams in the league. When it comes to beating NY Liberty, Connecticut Suns, Seattle Storm, Minnesota Lynx, and Las Vegas Aces it only accounts for 4 of the Fevers wins (20 W -19 L) and had not beaten the Aces at all this season. Therefore, when it comes to the Top 5 Teams, Indiana Fever finds themselves in the hole. This shows that Caitlin Clark is unable to prevail against tougher opponents or as a team. However, these huge and significant losses the Fever has against the league’s top teams occurred early in the season or before the Olympics in Paris. Now the Fever is the 6th seed in the WNBA 2024 Playoffs, can the Fever win the 1st round against the #3 seed Connecticut Suns as the Fever have a 28.125% chance of winning the 1st round.(best of 3 games). In the regular season, the Sun's won the first 3 of 4 games as the Fever took the 4th and final game winning 84 to 80 which is rather a close game. A miracle has to happen for the Fever to proceed beyond the 1st Playoff Round. As mentioned only 4 wins against the Top 5 WNBA teams all season long. (Won 4 of 19 games) a dismal 21%. So sorry to see a few hopefuls become injured and not finish the season such as Cameron Brinks and Angel Reese. A'ja Wilson best chance at MVP may have slipped a notch due to injury. Angel Reese just needs to change her demeanor/attitude as she is very good getting rebounds even if 25 to 40 percent are from her own missed shots. I'll call Reese the best there ever been in Second Rebound opportunities. Unfortunately, Angel Reese rebounds have little significance in the game because no matter how many Double-Doubles she has accumulated does not equate or result in a Chicago Sky Town win. Caitlin Clark is no doubt Rookie of the Year and was never in question after the first dreadful 9 games of the season with Fever having 1-8 record. Cannot contribute all those losses to CC as there is no "I" in team. MVP: tough as it could have been Arike Ogunbowale since she has decent stats after Wilson but it is a shame Dallas is not in the Playoffs, so Arike is a no. I think the MVP vote will come after the playoffs. If the Indiana Fever gets a miracle and play the 3rd round in the playoffs and CC puts in the work, she may have a chance for MVP. Without Clark, had the Indiana Fever selected someone else in the draft would likely be in the bottom 4 teams of the WNBA and miss yet another playoff. Then with no Kelsey Mitchell on the team , even with Clark would have been in the bottom 4 because this duo (Clark and Mitchell) is what making the Fever HOT!!!! and don't discount the other team members for their worth as to play a game requires 5 players. Kudos to Mitchell the veteran for not giving up and staying in the WNBA. MVP pretty much was given to the player with the best stats or most points. Well, CC has broken several Rookie Records and if she held the ball rather than passing it (Assists) to her teammates, how many 50 plus point games would CC have in 1 season. I would have to say at least 7 to 10 games with more than 50 points which no WNBA player has ever done. Also CC would be the scoring Queen and therefore be the player with the most points scored in the season naming CC the MVP. A'ja Wilson been at the top of her game here all of 2024 but Clark just has been more impressive PERIOD. Once again, sorry A'ja Wilson is on the injured reserves list but not really on the list with a sprained ankle and sat out the last 2 games and is expected to return for the playoffs fully healed "100 %" Not expected to play in the last regular season game on Thurs. Sept. 19. vs last place ranked 12 of the WNBA LA Sparks as Lynx should easily win this game. Nearly sounds like an Angel Reese situation. Wilson getting some rest in preparation to the playoffs. Nice tactic. Maybe CC is more deserving of the MVP award for not sitting out for any of the 40 games played this season. Another point is Wilson's Minnesota Lynx are not the #1 team in the league this year as that goes to NY Liberty. In many sports, MVP or Top Honor typically goes to a player who is with the top team. Wilson is not however, the Lynx are #2 and have to give some due credit. I'm not going to side with either, they both provided and done well this year. Just as it was said a couple of months ago that Reese and Clark share ROY honors, maybe there ought to be a co-MVP award. We know if Clark leaves the WNBA and plays on an European league or forms a new Women's Hoops League. The WNBA will be sucked back into that Black Hole and collapse. Caitlin Clark brought "Value", Interest, Recognition, Increased the Fan Base and viewership, the attendance records are up like 1,000 percent, she has broken WNBA records, the Fever are in the playoffs, overall the WNBA revenue has exploded plus more games are Televised than ever before in WNBA history. Also merchandise sales are way up. plus Sponsorship and Endorsements. Someone said it was the "Clark Effect". Do we want to ignore the facts and also forget that a veteran player deserves the MVP honors. Unusual set of circumstances and an unique year this has been. 2 players well deserving of MVP and no way to differentiate giving it to 1. To be fair it must be shared which rarely has ever been done in any sport. It won't be the 1st or Last. What is going to happen next season when Paige Bueckers enters the WNBA? I suppose more hate because here we go again, a White -Straight girl in the spot-light. Some rumor or speculates she is uncertain about her sexual orientation/identity. Presently dating a fellow male college student but we have seen this before as a coverup. Gossip is bad! Please do not ASSUME Anything because it will make you look bad. Okay! nearly forgot that Portland is back into the WNBA as team expansion. Hopefully to be joined by another. The WNBA is getting National attention and games Televised which we have not seen for ages as it appears. People should be Happy and thrilled, mostly young girls and women alike. It will take years before the WNBA will be up to par with the NBA however this is a great start and opportunity to make some noise. I have enjoyed watching several WNBA games, but I get excited to see Alley-oops and Slam Dunks. Should the WNBA lower the hoop down to 9 Feet from 10 Feet? Women's body center of gravity and genetically are shorter in height than men hence makes it a disadvantage to Slam Dunk a ball at 10 feet. Let's see what the near future holds for the WNBA. It should be interesting if players and coaches in the league and fans behave like civilized people and enjoy the sport without criticizing everything and other people. Officiating will never be perfect and never has been. We don't want AI "computers" to analyze each play to indicate a foul was made as it would make the game longer with many game stoppages for review. Nothing like watching a game that was played in 90 minutes to 2 hours become 4 hour long. I am all for Coaches Challenge when a play call could be in error of judgement and at times when refs not sure if person stepped out of bounds, last touched by, or was it 3 or 2 point basket. Distinguished what is a Technical Foul or Flagrant Foul. Flagrant Fouls should lead to game suspension. Tech Foul gives the opponent One Free Throw. Excessive yelling and constant debate with an Official for more than 1 minute should be an ejection from the game. You get your say and moment of discussion with the Official but do not over do it. Over use of Profanity should be an ejection from the game. Conduct as a professional is a must.
What kind of AI-chat GPT script is this? Cant pronounce aliyah boston's name, calling Coach Sides her teammate. Saying the same 5 points over and over again.
Slamming the stantion, slamming the ball higher than your head, swearing and other infractions in bball are known as "unsportinglike conduct" fouls. CC has violated the bball rules of personal conduct and she's been warranted the technical foul calls. Love CC and a big fan of her, the Fever and WNBA now, and confident CC will get her intensity channeled to avoid future "techs"!
@@robertevans2582 you know what I don't have a problem giving her a foul for that but these are technical fouls which can oust her from a game and I think they are a serious over reach which simply is not justified
@@robertevans2582 and that too is a manufactured rule correct? You see other players doing the same damn thing and they don't get technicals, it just seems over the top to me. Competitors are going to get emotional and if it's all self-contained I don't see why it becomes a technical
@@lindawade4ok639 The officials' rulebook states bball rules to govern the game. Judgement by refs happens during the game to decide whether the player violated the spirit and intent of the rule. "Unsportinglike conduct" - whether a player is angry with themselves or a
Diamond DeShields is really a mental case. There is something wrong with a person that resorts to physical assault in a game. Low IQ people are typically the ones who lack the intelligence to deal with their emotions and then resort to physical assault. She must have the IQ of a six year old who just doesn’t control emotions.
And still, women dont like her because she is making as much as a man and their not. So it's not about which gender makes more. it's about whether the ones that hate her are making as much as a man now. It never ends with women.
Sorry, Caitlin Clark is a one-off. There's not gonna be loads of people willing to put in the time and effort that was required to build Caitlin Clark.
Woooohooo! I love strong women! I love silent women that deal with issues! And I love women that show what they can do through actions! She’s my hero right now good for her standing up like that all those kids out there have a good role model. Thank you, Caitlin! 💪🔥❣️
