I'm watching the best shooter to ever shoot a basketball and it's not Maravich or Curry...it's Caitland Clark. I've watched and played basketball for 55 years...she is the best shooter to ever shoot a basketball. I stand by the comment
Maravich Career 44 FG% was not a great shooter; he was a volume shooter and led the NBA twice in shot attempts with most of his seasons in the top 10. His poor defense amplified the negative of his mediocre shooting percentage. Maravich probably cost Bird a trip to the NBA finals in Bird's rookie season. With 29 games left in the 79-80 season the Celtics were on a pace to win 64 games, to lead the NBA; that is when Maravich and his weak defense joined the team. The Celts ended with 61 wins, an improvement from the Birdless 29 wins from the previous year. The drag of Maravich probably cost The Celtics when they lost the Eastern Conference Finals to The 76ers 4-3. Including Maravich in your great shooter comment negates the credibility of you assessment of Clark.
GOAT means Greatest of All Time. Breanna Stewart won FOUR NCAA Championships and FOUR NCAA Finals MVPs and was 1st all Four years in Box Plus/Minus with 1st in Blocks 3 of her four years. And who's Cartland? If you mean Clark is the GOAT, consider Stuart, Sue Bird, Dianna Taurusi, Tamika Catchings, Aliyah Boston, and do some research. There is only one GOAT, could be Clark but if she is in consideration IOWA has to beat South Carolina.
@@jameslaughter5183 your right it does but remember she went to UConn probably would not have 4 nattys if she went somewhere else. Not saying she would have not won one else where but she would have not won all four. If she had gone to like Iowa or Michigan Ohio State Maryland Indiana.
You can’t be serious. Caitland only plays basketball. Jim Brown was an all state basketball player in high school and player for Syracuse BB as well as lacrosse and football. No comparasion. Pete Maravich played three years in setting his record.since freshman couldn’t play varsity. When the talking heads mention that Cartland is all time leading scorer for men as well as women, they forget to mention that fact.
Exciting + thrilling game! Yes, the other Hawkeyes were awesome, but -- is it possible to be in love with 4 young women at the same time: Gabbie Marshall, McKenna Warnock, Caitlin Clark & Kate Martin? 😉lol
Why did you not include Monica Czinano? For sure agree with the other list. Marshall and Warnock were clutch... One of the most clutch plays in Iowa basketball was later that year in the NCAAs when McKenna Warnock got that offensive rebound in among the trees of 36-0 South Carolina off an Iowa free throw miss.
Ridiculous. Every time Miller drove to the basket the refs called a foul. But when IOWA players went inside, got knocked to the floor or hacked only a small percentage of fouls were called. The refs of Women NCAA games favor physicality. Maryland only getting 19 fouls to IOWA's 21 fouls was a travesty; but the best team won anyway. So, you should be happy.
