You are showing to be the racist. 1 You lied when you said the players of the past weren't cheap shot artist (you tried to slide in "racist" to mention the young ladies of the WNBA). Reality is the NBA had enforcers (both black and white) that could have been described as "thugs" but at that time it was 100% accepted as "physical" w/o racial undertones. 2 You used race because you feel CC is being done SO wrong. Grow up Richard. Have you watched any other games? Angel Reese was literally grabbed by the throat and thrown backgrounds while going for a rebound (landing on the back of her head). Ohhhhh.... By the way she's black and was slammed by another black woman. The WNBA is very physical. The sad thing is Caitlin seems to have thicker skin than you. She's not crying abt leaving. She's saying she's going to adjust. Lastly, if you can drop the racial undertones you're welcome to stick around.

The worst stat that Caitlin have , and most people don't understand, and don't want to understand is her point differential, for those of you who don't understand what that mean is, - how many points you score, subtracted by the points of the person you are guarding at the time while in the game, CC have the worst ratio of any player in the WNBA, at this time, meaning, if you score 12 points, and your opponent who you are guarding , score 15, that mean your plus or minus is a minus 3, last i checked, CC was a minus 7, PGA, that people , reflect poor defence, if not for those 2 30 pt games, she would be a atrocious minus 11, PGA.

​@@GDSportsNetwork I appreciate your open-mindedness. but I wonder why people make the points that "she has the best stats cause she shoots the most" (or, relatedly, that she has a lot of turnovers). I'm a newbie, so I can't compare her to anyone before last year's WNCAA, but it seems to me that CC has always tried to balance her own shooting (and stats), with passing and building the team. if she were all about just shooting, she wouldn't be passing to her teammates -- but she sees that as her job, to assist. and she's got the stats to prove it. and if she were just chucking the ball at the net, she wouldn't be scoring that much. is she GOAT, either last year in college let alone this year? no, definitely not. but I don't see how people say "she's not that good." though (totally unrelated except it drives me crazy) could people please STFU about their pet conspiracy theory? if you want to educate me about coaching and sold-out crowds and how much money is at stake, I appreciate it. when you want to tie everything in to being "woke" or white or straight or deliberately trying to sabotage CC's career, well I need some pretty convincing evidence, not just somebody ranting online. but yeah, not sure what her coach is thinking. and very curious what she tells CC, and how CC takes it.

I can only speak for me. The reason I bring up stats is because some fans make it seem as though she never misses a shot.

She still leads the team in shot attempts, points, assists, and turnovers so we can't make it seem like they've completely taken the ball out of her hands. If they run the offense through Aaliyah Boston they can't double team the perimeter so easily. They have to trust the process. CC's greatest error in my opinion is not shooting too much, turning ball over (w effort passes), or taking bad shots. I believe her greatest error so far is consistently taking the ball into the corners right into double teams. She's not at Iowa anymore. These women are taller, faster, and have longer wing spans. She's getting swallowed up. She needs to stay in space. That's her super power. Give ball up (like Steph Curry) and get it back in a better position to shoot. Thanks for commenting.

I believe the bigs inside were having problems learning how to receive the passes of someone like CC. U of S Carolina went through same growing pains getting used to the amazing passes of Milaysia Fulwiley. Yes. I stated Aaliyah being comfortable because a big can't do anything unless someone gets them the ball. If they are going to bang down low on both sides they do deserve an occasional bone to score. It simply helps keep them feeling appreciated. Guards bring the ball up court so if CC wants to jack a logo 3 she can without anyone doing anything for her. Now I understand running sets to help free her are ideal but she can shoot logo 3s at will. You know? Trust and believe things will start to get better. Remember they played 11 games in 20 days. They never really practiced. It can only get better from here. I respect your analogy to playing more like Steph. However there are two MAJOR differences. 1 Curry never played w Shaq (Aaliyah is a beast in her own right). The offense must cater to BOTH of them. 2 If you notice often times Steph does not bring ball up court. That frees him up from being harassed 94ft. It also allows him to come off screens. If you noticed they have started taking her off the ball at times. I believe they are "trying" different things in game (since they couldn't practice). They'll get better soon. Trust me.

Check the WNBA stats on the ESPN website and you’ll note that CC is NOT the leader in ANY of the statistical categories. CC gets $28 million dollars in endorsements for being an above average player. This is WHY she gets grief; it’s an INSULT to the rest of the league. CC is a manufactured star no different to Mia Hamm, Danica Patrick and Hope Solo before her……CC is in the 4th position in ONLY two categories and doesn’t make the top 5 in the rest. CHECK the STATS that are FACTS.

⁠@@RARochester she got her endorsements based on the brand she set BEFORE wnba in college when she broke almost every offensive record. Seriously 20+ awards too much to list. Trying to negate YEARS worth of work is just wrong. The STATS and FACTS show that she is the all time scorer MAN or Woman and lead the NCAA in Asssits two years in a row as well as POTY many times. She EARNED that brand through hard work not just “because” and of course she isn’t going to lead a category as a rookie. Do you have this same issues with players going into the NFL that have big endorsement deals before they come?

I actually LOVE that you commented and "challenged". My stats show that women view my channel only 18%. I'd love to attract more. Now to your question..... The Fever had only won 3 games prior to last night and CC had only led them in scoring once. Two other times it was Kelsey Mitchell. That doesn't mean Caitlin isn't great it just means she's adjusting. To say she drug the team isn't a fair statement. Being real they played 11 games in 20 days. Of their 10 losses 7 of them are to the 3 best teams in the WNBA (LV, NY, and CT). Now that they're past that point they'll start winning a few. Thanks for commenting. Please like and subscribe.

Let's play NAME THAT PLAYER....he was a QB in the SEC ( arguably the toughest conference in college football ) here's his BIO : American former football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL) for three seasons, primarily with the Denver Broncos. He played college football for the Florida Gators, where he became the first underclassman to win the Heisman Trophy and led the team to two BCS National Championship titles in 2007 and 2009. At the conclusion of his collegiate career, he held the Southeastern Conference's records for career passing efficiency and rushing touchdowns. He was selected by the Broncos in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. But wait....................there's more: He became the Broncos' starter during the 2011 season and revitalized a struggling team, bringing them to the franchise's first division title and playoff victory since 2005. His frequent comeback victories and outspoken Christian faith made him a cultural phenomenon, with his habit of dropping to one knee in prayer on the field becoming known as " I'll give you 3 guesses ". Due to questions over his potential as an NFL quarterback, he was traded after the season to the New York Jets, where he spent one year as a backup. Do you have a clue ????????????????????????????? He's going to inducted into the NFL Football Hall of Fame ( NOT ) do you need anymore guesses ???? You can sit down in your corner now. BTW, she's NOT going to f@ck you so stop simping; just advice.

I agree that they'll be fine. AB should be the focus. ANY team with a dominate big should ALWAYS start there. Not only will it get your big engaged and willing to do the dirty work (w a smile) but it also gets the other big in early foul trouble. With opposing big in foul trouble the game opens up for anyone to get to the basket easier. Once defenses start collapsing to help interior defense CC is shooting wide open looks. Turnovers will come down when she accepts these ladies are taller, faster, and have longer wingspans to disrupt her passing lanes. College "open" isn't open in WNBA. As she adjust this team will be dangerous. I truly believe that.

I respect your comment. I'm simply saying it's a coaches job to get the best out of a roster. Now if a player is strictly a ball hog and refuses to move the ball then I can see how they'd be left off. The men's team even got the best out of ball dominant players like Carmelo Anthony and James Harden. If a player can't be a TEAM player then you should notice that in tryouts/training camp. Then leaving them off is understood. I'm lost on your Griner comment.... I think Candace is a great player. Unfortunately when you're trying to squeeze hundreds of players down to 12 surely someone deserving is going to be left off. I don't mind a great player being left off. I more care when a non deserving player is given a spot. How can college achievements not count if that's all you have (I e. Christian Laettner). Thanks for commenting. Please like and subscribe.

The WNBA brass found out this week they will lose another $50 million this year. This is despite record crowds at their games and record TV viewership this year. The WNBA, which just tipped off its 28th season on May 14th, finished May with its highest attended opening month in 26 years and its most-watched start of season across each network ever: ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, CBS, ION and NBA TV. And across ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 and CBS, WNBA games are averaging 1.32 million viewers, nearly tripling last season’s average (462,000 viewers). The WNBA also found out that Caitlin Clark is responsible for a solid 33.5% of WNBA attendance at their games. TALENT or CELEBRITY what puts the 7figure contracts on the table ...if we keep putting the same ones out there HOW WILL THE BRAND GROW.. Caitlin has been estimated to have billion-dollar market potential worldwide NO DOUBT Ice CUBE sees this and how is the WNBA going to get her contract competing against 8 figure offers ... This isn't College anymore this is a business and if the WNBA does not see it well kiss the Cash Cow goodbye, and soon there will be a replacement for the WNBA .. owned by who controls the masses through marketing in woman's Basketball

Honestly I don't think Caitlin is going anywhere. It's still an honor to play in this league or women wouldn't have done it for 28 yrs (just like being paid ZERO to perform at a Super Bowl). Sometimes the prestige outweighs the dollar sign. Now don't get me wrong clearly you want BOTH but there has ALWAYS been the overseas option and not all players take it. Those who value family and time spent in America don't think there's enough money to be pulled elsewhere to play. Now you won't get any arguments from me abt the fact I feel the league has been mismanaged for decades. There should be more money involved professionally then there is collegiately. As far as lol sing $50 million this year.... This is the 1st step towards MAJOR success! Why do I say that? They're finally FULLY invested and they will reap the rewards. There is rumored to be a 7 BILLION dollar deal on the table for television rights. Those with the real money will only invest once they see the WNBA is willing. Chartered flights was a minimum requirement to show you take you sport and athletes seriously.
