Exacvtly!!! Caitlin Clark There’s never been a Caitlin Clark. She’s Iowa’s finest work of art. Unselfishly she plays her heart. She paints good pictures of our parts. If we could share, on the court of life- Give real assists to those alive- And score some points that count for good, This world would change, perhaps it should. The way that Caitlin plays inspires. She obviously is filled with fire. But she maintains the calm approach. She’s not disturbed when she’s encroached. She tries to help her teammates score. She’s a leader whom they adore. Her fame is built on true finesse. A humble spirit describes her best. She’s deceptive with the ball. Unlikely will they steal at all. She tries to help to make her team Feel supreme in all their dreams. Success she’s found upon the court. And her example has import. If we could all just share the ball This world would change, we’d hear God’s call. Caitlin if you read this rhyme Know I love your play design. You inspire us with your play. You show how to win in every way. Paul Anderson Urantiapoet.com
@kennethcook3127 yeah so terrible she is the fasted to ever get to 300-100-100 in the WNBA. She is 3rd in the league in assists and 4th in rebounds amongst guards. So horrible 💀
Well…this Bird has definitely been grounded. The WNBA is RIPE with racism, hatred , and 💩 attitudes… C. Clark is raising the bar with her actions… she definitely does her talking on the court !!!
Sue is speaking for a large part of fhe W. Not all players are jealous, envious or *ists, towards Caitlin. We should put more direction towards the good sportswomanship players, coaches and representatives, and not add more hype to the negativity.
@@abcs123s2 Unfortunately the way the system is, If I throw you the ball and you fumble it, it is on me, just like a QB handing off to a RB in the NFL. And PG always have the highest TO on their respective teams because of that. The funky part is a good sample of Sid's rebounds are from her own missed shots. She only has one job, whereas Caitlin is the field general who has to direct the entire team. I don't see Sid anywhere near the conversation. Caitlin is the Chosen One!
@@whalenjennings2719 I really don't understand why being good causes haters. I don't remember players hating on Magic and Bird, Bo, and other top athlete. Don't see anyone hating on Simone Biles. It's not her skills that are the problem, obviously.
Caitlin Clark on the WNBA All-Star team, this might be able to squelch the other WNBA player haters after they meet her sweet personality & general work ethics.
If bird doesn’t think that Clark’s being targeted, I guess she didn’t watch and it’s not all the players just some thug players like Carter, body check or deliberately, and knock her down and whether it was an accident or not, there was another incident where she somebody came down on her head, questionable sue birds, buddy friend, Brianna Stewart, deliberately stood stationary, knowing that Clark was going to slam into her and fall down that was deliberate no-brainer. I thinkSue bird sticking up for her league. The fans knows what’s going on.
She's downplaying all their comments and blaming people for twisting their own words that came right out of their damn mouths. No one twisted their words, it's them who spoke all those negativity
Reese is the clumsiest most awkward player in the league, and she shouldn't even be in the rookie of the year discussion! Her points come from layups ONLY and many of her rebounds come from her own missed layups! Reese even looks uncoordinated when she runs!
Reese rebounds her own bunnie misses that come right back to her. That's how she accumulates so many rebounds. That's about the only thing she's got going as far as skill set. That's why she grabbed on to CC coat tails so someone would notice her
Reese misses a lay up, gets her own rebound, misses next shot, gets her own rebound, misses next shot, gets her own rebound and makes the shot.!!!! On the defensive end, Reese pushes, knocks and shoves other players all the time and doesn't get called for it. Talk about having a special whistle!!!!!!!!!
This is why Angel Reese is more popular among the veterans. She matches their clunky bullying system of play, and has quickly adopted their arrogance and sense of entitlement. CC's approach to Basketball threatens the way they've played the game for so long. Adapt to the evolving fast pace style of Basketball? No need to worry when playing Angel Reese.
Stats do not lie. At this point in the season, Clark is well ahead of Reese in terms of overall impact. Scoring: Clark - 16.00 ppg (16th); Reese - 13.2 ppg (29th). Assists: Clark - 7.1 (3rd); Reese - 1.9 (50th). Rebounds: Reese -11.8 (1st); Clark 5.7 (19th). The interesting thing about the rebounds comparison is that Clark leads all WNBA guards in rebounds. Clark generates far more offense for the Fever - Scoring and Assists - than Reese does for the Sky.
Also, some other stats are interesting. Reese is 76 of 168 for 45.2% from less than 5 feet. From 5 to 9 feet, she is 3 of 17 for 17.2%. From 10 to 14, she is 1 of 2 for 50%. From 15 to 19 feet, she is 3 of 13 for 23.1%, and from 20 to 24 feet, she is 0 for 8 and 0 for 1 beyond 25 feet. For Clark, the numbers are: less than 5 feet, 33 of 57 for 57.9%, 5 to 9 feet, 7 of 20 for 35%. From 10 to 14 feet, 2 of 7 for 28.6%, from 15 to 19 2 of 5 for 40%, from 20 to 24 feet, 9 of 28 for 32.1%. From 25 to 29 feet, 35 of 108 for 32.4%, from 30 to 34 feet 13 of 32 for 40.6 %, and beyond 35 feet 0 for 1. At every distance, except for 10 to 14 feet, Clark has a higher percentage of shots made.
@@banbanchicken2808 Clark - 0.8 blocks per game (16th); Reese - 0.2 blocks (67th). Did not expect that. Thought Reese would have more, but guess she likes offense more than defense.
@@michaelpinell1861 Even with the greater number of turnovers, Clark still contributes more to her team than Reese does to hers. That said, Reese IS a good player. And the Sky beat the Storm last night.
Boy is she clueless. CC leads in every category head to head, with the exception of rebounds. Getting 5 layups a game and rebounding your missed layups, doesn’t give you a true double double record. Her game is rebounds, so she should get them every night. CC as a guard is in top 20 on rebounds, and number one guard for rebounds. And just to throw it in as an additional accomplishment, though not part of the court game, she is bringing more money, fans and viewership in. To me, it’s a lock for CC. Not sure what McNUTTS is thinking . She has also been against CC from the get go. Not even sure how she made it on TV.
I personally can't stomach the slowp plodding prison ball played by most team unless CC is playing. The IQ, the passing, the logo 3's do it for me even if they lose. Her post game interviews are positive and very professional
I don’t know if the players actually hate Caitlin Clark. I think they are jealous of the attention she gets. I do think they hate her fans lol. You would think that more eyes on their sport would make them happy. There are a lot of players that need PR training, because they are just bad at talking to the media lol.
When, during a timeout and players walking back to their bench, and you get shoulder bump for no reason..to me, that is hating. These wannabe talking heads can say all they want, I much rather believe my eyes//
@@miyagi1775and that's the very problem it has been implemented into the WNBA culture.. that type of behavior is for the parks of the ghetto.. consummate pros do not behave like that.
McNuttless of course sees color, but here is how I see it: ROY award, like most awards is a momentary drug for the ego that in the scheme of lfe isn't very important. Having said that, and watching and listening to both. The award is a lot more important to NoAngel than it is to Clark. Just count the I and me words in the latter's comments. If coaches vote their game plan and who they would take if they had the #1 pick, it would be a an easy choice---but the media has a different agenda
ESPN, WNBA, Players are pushing that Angel Reese SHOULD be the WNBA Rookie of the Year, other than she is "blank" What are they using to make this choice? On Clark's side, you have at least some of the who is who of some of the best who played in the NBA, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordon, LeBron James, Charles Barkley, Kevin Garnett Isaiah Thomas Shaquille O'Neal Allen Iverson and Stephen Curry talking up her game and showing respect for her. As for Reese, and the other players in the WNBA other than the ESPN and WNBA nothing is being said, and that says it all.
I expected no less than comradery from SB for her pals. Do I believe her? No! Not after everything that's been said on media and most especially what goes on on the court with the players and the officials.
@@user-wd4ty9se7lStraight and white and butch's run this league top to bottom like a gang. The testosterone league has players that are comparable to men and play brutal unexciting basketball. This rookie crop has some more femine, skilled players who are exciting to watch. They articulate and classy not crass and classless
DT comments was directed at CC not just any rookie. It is even with the couches setting of defenses that no one gets as an unproven rookie. Full and half court press double teams. Most of the people that followed CC to the WNBA have played and watch Basketball longer then their been a WNBA.
When Taurasi said she would draft Bueckers over Clark, that's when the UCONN vs. CC drama started. Geno throwing beach umbrella shade after Iowa beat his team. Now that privileged clique wants to act like they dindu nuffin? I am glad for the temporary improvement, but I do not trust anyone from UCONN and will keep a sharp eye out for their next heel turn.
Kind of seemed that way. Maybe just doesn't to offend his players/former players. Seemed he was holding back from giving CC much credit as deserved. Clark is going to need a quality decompression period after this season is done. I hope she can stay away from social media and enjoy her family, fiance and everything else that keeps her grounded. I still hope someone steps down from the Olympic team to give her a spot. Taurasi would cement a great legacy if she were the one to do that at her age and with so many other olympic teams and medals she has.
What about the direct tweets that came from Angel Reese, Carrington, themselves ? ROTY: As someone else has said, it depends what you value? Points, assists, steals, blocks, basketball IQ, team facilitator vs rebounds & double doubles 🤷🏻♀️
A hard foul during a play or even a flagrant foul DURING a play is part of the game. Assault from behind of a person not aware of your presence would land you in jail anywhere off the court so yea that’s hate.
It is true a flagrant would require a different action than a regular foul. But my point was an act of violence not related to the game in any way would be a crime if it happened outside the game.
Sue is full of (insert poop emoji). Trolls haven't twisted anything! "Rookies are going to need to adjust" is not what Dinosaur-asi said. The Dinosaur made it clear that Clark and other rookies had been playing 18-year-old kids and things would be different when they played "grown women". The level of narcissism is why this league couldn't draw fans. These women have been patting themselves on the back for decades even though no one cared to watch them play. Bird has to be diplomatic, even propagandic to maintain her status but please don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.
Yes reese is open bc cardoza is double teamed and her average shot is 2 ft away w low shooting percentage at that. Cc average ahooting distance is 29 ft and she leads or is a leader in almost all areas of the gsme Check out the video of reese puposely missing shiot shots and getting rebounds to pad stats. Enough w the wnba agenda already
the way they act on and off says that hate her .CC came to play pro basketball other players playing street ball .same thing in other sports when other hate or jelly they resort to getting physical
The sucking sound of opportunities being destroyed by the Fever’s head coach vacuum is much louder than Fever players dropping CCC-22 passes or missing 2ft. Lay-ups
Bird was sitting beside Taurasi when Taurasi made her "welcome to reality" comment on CC. I am amused now to see the backpedaling that so many people are going through, especially after the All Star numbers came out. The truth about CC is finally hitting home!
DT’s words did not get twisted by media on X. She sent an announcement to the W’s players to show Caitlin how grown women play. Yes we saw grown woman Caitlin help her team defeat Phoenix plus another .500 team Liberty. So thanks Diana
Well in the same interview with Diana talking about Caitlin and the learning curve Diana, Sue and Breanna went out of their way to say Paige was better than Caitlin. They also complained a lot about the call at the end of the UCONN/Iowa game in the Final 4. Yes, 3 UCONN players were allowed to throw shade at Iowa non stop after that game on ESPN. I don't think the comments about adjusting were out of line but it was more about the totality of the whole postgame. UCONN alums were allowed to denigrate Iowa with Scott Van Pelt cheering them on. It was really something.
Maybe they should have been more concerned with what a shitty job of coaching Geno did at the end of that game. It appears he gets the credit for a team full of 5 star athletes playing good despite his coaching.
sue bird is a part owner of wnba Seattle storm team, and is DT good friend . what would you expect her to say? when CC was in the NCAA 2023 championship against LSU, both Bird and DT were amazed and supported CC.. of course people say and do what is best for themselves ...
I really like to know something. This is concerning ROTY, besides her record double-doubles, what else has Angle Reese done? I hope you can answer this for me.
There is a difference between not liking a person and feeling jealous of a persons success. In my opinion it seemed more a case of jealousy then a case of the veteran's out and out not liking CC. Some jealousy and pettiness I would say YES. But I definitely don't think any of the Vet's genuinely disliked CC. I mean when some 22 yr old college rookie is getting ALL the attention, PLUS CC landed an endorsement contract with Nike Shoes for $28 million!! That's going to ruffle a few veterans feather's!!! They are probably thinking where the hell is MINE, I've been hooping in the WNBA for years!!!
Not interested in Sue Bird's opinion on anything. She married Megan Rapinoe. If that doesn't represent a significant lack of comprehension and judgement, I don't know what would.
Unless she gets a coach of the woke ilk then she wont get any shot to shine so reese lc I know can somehow be given mvp. Hope that isnt so and you know WNBA with POS officials will let the Olympic team win when on paper they shouldn't.
@@destingerryou have good points. I think the All Star team wants to prove a point for CC and give future draft picks a better chance to make the USA next time.
Caitlin Clark isn't even in competition for rookie of the year. She's only 17th in the league in True Shooting Percentage (among players with 400+ minutes), her primary strength. She has the highest turnover rate of all qualifying players. Her Win Shares are 0.2, 89th in the league. Angel Reece is at 2.0, 18th in the league, and is far and away the frontrunner for the award.
CC doesn’t fit into a certain group of WNBA veterans agenda being straight especially . Fans are her to see exceptional skill set which is fun to watch and CC has that. The way she shoots and passes is unique and is visually extraordinary! Anyone can see that . One thing for sure is no one gives a damn about their agenda in those stands .
MVP represents Most VALUABLE Player to the team and the league. Everything Caitlin does is a credit to her team and to the league as a whole. Everything Sid does is for herself only and does nothing to help her team or the league. Everything in her public speaking is I, I, I, or Me, Me, Me.
I saw no malice from DT when she stated realities of a rookie…. It was when she stated in another interview how she had won three championships and that’s why she made the Olympic team-- made my skin crawl-- arrogant narcissism.
Angel Reese should be the WNBA MVP! If what she’s doing is THAT amazing, nobody else isn’t doing anything headline worthy. If we push that narrative, they’ll have to capitulate, and say it’s NOT that amazing to be mvp, so why ROY? 🤔
These comments are extremely biased and the fact that Jon keeps feeding into this hating narrative… y’all make it hard to even want to root for her… the victim mentality is crazy! Let the girl just play!!
Sue Bird is right in a way. It was extreme for some fans. But there was a bit of jealousy. Hard when some have great skills but not as much attention over the years. Just the roght time and Caitlin is a great player on and off the court
Many of the rebounds Angel gets credit for are from her own missed baskets. And Sue must have not listened to what DT said originally. Caitlin is making her entire team better.
There is video with Taurasi, Bird, Megan Rapinoe, drinking wine, shooting the breeze, and when the subject comes around to rookies, Bird and Taurasi let it be known, while laughing, their open disdain for rookies in general. Do with this what you will. ☑️👌😎 JP
When are WNBA coaches going to start game planning to get Angel away from the boards. If they don’t, Sabotage, Conspiracy! They have no problem game planning to put Caitlin in lock down.
A lot of the other talented players in the league rubbed the new fans who are the majority of the total fan base with the look at me attitude and she’s not all that attitude before we could actually see them play first impressions are hard to change.
If she is going to go with team and teammates. Chicago was a playoff team last year while Fever were not. Chicago also had the #3 and 7th pick this year. So you can spin the argument any way you want to justify who you think deserves ROY
What is her shooting percentage for these shots and even opposing teams are helping by laying back and how are her record settings rebounds and point affecting winning
There’s much to be said about the gifted rebounder Dennis Rodman. He was clearly skilled, but how would you rate him against the court IQ and overall skills of M. Jordan. Clark versus Reese? Hardly a difficult decision.
That McNutt lady.... her jealousy towards CC is coming out of her pores😂😂😂 and trying so hard to hide it. She is so bias towards CC.... just my opinion..
