Not that I give a crap but it seems clear that the WNBA and WHOEVER decides who gets on the Olympic team has forgotten that sports are entertainment, but when your business model is based off welfare from the NBA and not making actual money I guess you can tell the fans to go screw themselves if you want to.
Yup. Ogunbowale didnt get picked in2020 and destroyed team usa in the 2020 allstar game too. She pulled her name this time and said the process is political
Ogunbowale pulled her name out from the USA 2024 Olympic Selection committee. She stated that she did that due to the politics involved in the selection committee. Nneke Ogwumike also played an outstanding game for the WNBA and she has also never been selected for the US National team. The US National team is a clique and just has strong bias towards certain players regardless of whether or not it represents the best team that the US can field for the Olympics. Shameful. Congratulations to the WNBA team. They played like it was their gold medal game. They were simply NOT going to lose.
Obviously, Caitlan Clark, Angel Reese And Arike Definitely should be on team USA ! WNBA runned by women's emotions...jealousy, favourtism, and pettiness !
@@AnthonyBrown-ku5xl None of that is it. None. It is simply, at that moment, the ladies hadn't earned their spot. Reese wasn't the double-double machine we know her to be. And Caitlyn wasn't playing like Steph Stockton. Remember she was struggling. It was talk about the end of the college season, the draft, and the start of the WNBA season were too close together. Personally I would have brought them both for marketing purposes, but o'well. Of course hindsight is always 20/20, but USA Woman's Olympic basketball is still in good hands. They have been dominating the world for the last millenia. Trust and believe, NO other team in the Olympics has the talent the WNBA All-stars do. This will be another cakewalk for the ladies, the bigger story is the competition the men are facing
@@martintrejo1950 Explain how does ones sexuality ruin "that"? What is that anyway? The is, has been, and always will be the WNBA's problem; people like you who are more concerned about what these woman do behind closed doors, instead of what they're doing on the court. What if CC was gay? What if Angel was gay? It shouldn't matter, but it's what drives the WNBA's marketing instead of just basketball. I think it's sad, because there are more woman that can play besides these two
She has no business coaching these women ,she is mental .She doesn't try and get the best players to win games .She has a history of holding grudges e.even her with her own players .The best thing this league can do is fire this woman , it would be best for the team and the league to show they don't tolerate such bias and hate !
@@leolajoie1662 She looks like a female version of Babcock too lmfao! Nah but fr, I remember hearing how Dallas was potentially looking to hire a coach, and Babcock was one of the people they were looking into. I'm glad we went with the lesser of two evils in DeBoer over Babcock. DeBoer has also gotten a reputation as being a bit of a headache to deal with as a coach, and hasn't shown consistency in the playoffs as such, but I don't think I've heard anyone talking bad about him out of Dallas. I think the whole thing with Flower and the Sword in his back and all that was what started the hatred for DeBoer.
WTF team USA haven’t lost a game in over 30 years And they did this without her . Plus why should she get to skip the line when you have other women been waiting over 5 years which also have talent and time in.
@@evamyers5457 Because nobody fucking cares about any of those other women and they bring in ZERO dollars in revenue for womens basketball... Actually scratch that, NEGATIVE dollars... Clark is the only reason people care and you're delusional if you think otherwise.
@@evamyers5457 It's not cause you waited over 5 years, it's now your turn. Could you imagine when Jordan or Lebron came up and people would say, now you wait 5 years cause others waited too... Women Logic
@@evamyers5457Only in the entitled irrational female minds does it work like that, but in competitive sport and in the real world you pick or hire the best talent available.
Women are notorious for hating and jealous of other women. CC is the most marketable woman player in the world and got snubbed out of the world stage. Views and rating for women Olympic bball games will be no where near if CC is on the USA team. What a shame!
Some would say: "We are basically sending our C Team to the 2024 Paris Olympics and a ( D or F Coach ) ! !" * We are sending the ( wrong team ) to the Olympics and the ( wrong ) Coach... :)
@@snave59 Actually, I hope they win. That would show the world that our second best American team is still better than their best teams. After watching the game, I personally would go with the WNBA all stars. Could you imagine what they could do given more time to practice together and gel as a team? Unstoppable!
That woman cannot stand Clark and it can be seen in her eyes every time she has to answer something about Clark. I absolutely love the fact Clark and the Fever beat the Lynx then a week later Clark and the All Stars beat her and her Olympic team. That shit burns her ass up and you can tell it !! That Olympic team didn't look very good against the All Stars.
There are two reasons she can't stand Clark she's the best basketball player she's ever seen and the other obvious reason she don't like her it's because she's white
@@johnp4471 The reporters already knew why Arike was not there. Arike withdrew from consideration. She did not like what she saw. We can all see it now.
This was not Caitlins best game score wise : but the fact that she was able to pivot to an assist specialist and defense point shows you her maturity. I was suprised at how well Caitlin and Angel played together - like they have years of experience playing with one another on the same team. Shows you that they both respect each others game
She always been a great passer and anyone with any bball iq knew she was going be a passer at 1st I'm wnba, and that will open up her shots. Bball a chess game many casuals don't get
Also the facet of her game that comes to the forefront is whats needed at the moment. A mark of true greatness. She did not press bad situations and make poor shot choices or turn the ball over. She dished the ball to the hot hand or open players to create scoring opportunities. She was not a ME ME ME player at all.
Arike didn't want to be on the USA team because of the ugly politics involved in picking the line-up and the coach. She made them pay in the best way possible for their childish antics!!!
How is it that she is the Coach? I'm a totally oblivious Aussie with next to no knowledge of the WNBA and I can still see the short sightedness on display here. What is going on?
@aem870 is team USA the BEST that they can be? No. Caitlyn is a true team player, how many assists did she have? Look at the score, we're about to lose the Olympics over this. What did Mrs. Reeves shirt say while she downplayed the loss? Black girls what? Mrs. Reeves is a loser and a hypocrite.
@@aem870 she opted out because they weren’t gonna choose her. So why bother. She knew how political that the committee is. They only pick certain players.
more like a complete overhaul of the olympic women basketball. she wouldn't be able to act like this without the blessing of the rest of the committee.
likes she says, I don't give a Sh?? what you think of not having CC on OLYMPIC team.....and GUESS what....no ONE WILL BE WATCHING this bunch of over rated players either...will be the least watched team ever because of the arrogant choices and stupidity .
Cheryl and her brother had game. Cheryl understands the kind of game that CC and Angel plays. She coached this team and let them play their game with solid strategy and knows how to develop talent to win. She should be the WNBA commissioner. Team USA is going to face some incredible international competition. I don’t think they’re ready for it.
I got the chills watching Angel and Caitlin together. This game showed how toxic the media is. I hope these girls shine for years to come. God bless both of them….and anybody who’s been watching knows they both deserve to be on that team representing our country TOGETHER.
@@anthonyjackson2817 see this is what I'm talking about you don't listen both C.C. and A.R. plus another got off in that game maybe you need the video slowed down so you can understand you people blow me with your trolling and you only trolled yourself by not listening to video they played 🤦
@@seanobrien2306 That's the way the ball bounces. The mean girls are in control of the WNBA. They don't want CC to be the face of the league they built and control. The league are proud of their Social Justice and LBGTQ activism. CC doesn't give a $hit about their political agenda, she just wants to hoop! I saw a video of Paige Buecker's bending the knee to WNBA activists. She saw what's happening to CC and choose to bend the knee to avoid the wrath of the mean girls.
@fakawat7220 if I said learn how to spell somebody name how tf you gone try to pretend you God and assume because I say spell they names right "I KNOW WHO HE TALKING ABOUT" so with that logic why will I bother to say spell it correctly if without correct spelling I knew the names? I AM NOT YOU WEIRDO you people get on internet and pretend you some prophet or lord stay in your bubble I meant exactly what I said if you undastood them say that don't assume everybody is you
Ogunbowale, Reese and Clark used the opportunity to show why they should have been picked. They aren't throwing shade in the media. They are keeping it professional and letting their play speak for them.
Maybe that will be appreciated because they are only after money. So bribe to defeat the opponent, Because doesn't want to resign from his position and be fired from his position as head coach, Why because there is a hidden idea.
Leave Cheryl Reeve off the team. If taking the top team is the goal... Leaving a coach that refuses to coach because of personal feelings sounds like the best thing for the team. She seems pretty weak only wanting the "most experienced"... and after this beatdown its apparent her coaching is flawed
If we’re going on Merit, maybe keep most of the players and the coach who were UNDEFEATED in the last olympics and let her do her job until they start losing games that matter.
This game is meaningless, the Olympics aren't. It's strategic to not show off Team USAs offensive sets to the entire world during an internationally televised scrimmage lol The men's team is barely winning against South Sudan in their exhibitions because they are doing the same thing. Maybe you should think before you type...or just stay silent. You have no idea what you are opining on...
Congrats to Angel Reese & Caitlin Clark, for showing THE WORLD that the hype around them is justified, and that they can hang with the best players in the world, AS ROOKIES. That's pretty damn impressive.
@@babyboi3CC looked fine. She didn’t have the 3pt going, but she pushed the pace of the game, found many open people due to the focus Team USA placed on defending her. A PG that has 10 assists and zero turnovers is great.
Acknowledging Ogunbowale doesn't fit a manufactured narrative. Also, those putting out this narrative are only acknowledging Reese because their being forced to.
😅 It's funny that you say that because many people like Reese for the total opposite of Caitlin because Angel has a no-nonsense attitude. Hey, if you talk shit to me then I'm going to talk shit back to you. You hit me, I'm going to hit you back.... That is also a way of life and can make people likable because they're tough... It was an absolute mistake to leave both of them off that Olympic team....lol
Olympic team was defeated by a team that just picked for the allstar that has no practice nor chemistry. That is just absurd. You can guess what will happen now in the olympics .
What will happen is the USA will blow out the competition, like they do every year. THAT hasn't changed. . .all this shows is the stupidity of the Olympic Committee.
There is no second guessing not adding Clark to the Olympic team, Says Reeves. Then Reeves proceeds to have her team guard Caitlin for 94 feet. Double Team, triple Team, Trangle and two, deny Caitlin the ball when ever they could, and set her entire defense's priority on stopping Caitlin... In an all-star game. Some of the greatest WNBA players and Caitlin was the focus of Reeve's Defense... Actions speak louder than words.
We are not talking about Clark and Reese being on the same team and playing like they been teammates for years and love working together. So damn awesome
Here’s the simple deal - the young WNBA stars RAN THE OLD GEEZERZ OUT OF THE GYM. Not much more complicated than that, although Ionescue was pretty awesome and did keep up. That’s my take on it. They couldn’t double Ogunbowale because Clark and Reese were on the court, plus Mitchell took it to them with several easy layups. The difference in passing when Clark was on the court versus when she wasn’t on the court was eye opening. Clark brings movement, Reese brings tenacity and rebounds under the basket. The BEST USA team just beat the USA Olympic team and I think they would do it 7 out of 10 times. Gray was also an important piece. The Olympic Team played much better than the WNBA team in the first half but only led by 2 and they looked gassed.
Immediately FIRE Reeve, she put her priority on over-guarding CC and lost the game because of it. What an embarrassment to USA. Get rid of Reeve before she extends the embarrassment any further. A total joke to be in charge of our national team at the olympics.
Clark and Reese worked together like professionals!! Finally, they shined and showed the world who THEY were … but the coaches definitely tried to keep them from playing… even sitting on the bench they were the BEST TEAM PLAYERS.
And this should be noted that Reese was in the sweet 16 at LSU AND #3 vs Iowa @ #2 with Clark. Iowa (and specifically Clark) had a breakout game and humbled LSU and sent them home before advancing to the Finals. But, Clark the consummate professional, had a 1 on 1 conversation with Reese and asked her to put aside their in the heat of battle moment and focus on the CURRENT situation, and they both did exactly that, with the rising stock of a new rookie that won the MVP. The fact the TEAM USA was out of sync, reluctant to be flexible with game situations, shows us exactly who Coach Reeves is, an old turtle so stuck in her ways and her attitude of she's right and everyone else is wrong shows us exactly where the Team USA Women's B-ball team will land in the Olympics, not even on the platform at all. Perhaps THEN the Minnesota Team will be seeking a new coach too cause she is clearly out of her abilities to Coach ..... she is a pious loser.
I think we should give people a chance to change (I mean Angel Reese in this case). I was very disappointed when she celebrated what I think was a dirty hard foul against Clark. But seeing them play together so well in this game warmed my heart. Maybe I'm too much of a softy, but I'm rooting for good things for Reese IF she can put and keep the not so admirable things in the past.
Arike Ogunbowale was beyond anyone else including Caitlin and Angel. Coach Cheryl Miller was/is amazing. Team All Stars had heart, energy, drive and inspiration. I also believe the crowd helped energize them. Team USA looked tired and unmotivated.
The won because of Arike, was the reason they won not clark or reese end of story. They were just ok, nothing special but this video focused on her when she was mid at best this game. That's what makes people mad is when is the story is always about CC even when she doesn't have the best game
Ogunbowale told the truth. She was of the best players in the W 4 years ago and didnt make the team, 4 years later, again because of politics she is snubbed again. and both times was named the all star player of the game. Ogunbowale said she had no chance of making the USA team because people who pick the roster
I am pointing the finger at the USA Olympic Team Coach Cheryl Reeve ! ! * We are sending the ( wrong team ) to the 2024 Paris Olympics and the ( wrong ) Coach ! ! * The ( WNBA All-Star Team ) should be going to the Olympics, after a ( convincing win ) against the USA Olympic Team and a despicable Coach... :)
Reeve was more concerned with shutting CC down than her team winning. Her hate for CC is palpable. I was hoping the All Stars would humiliate the Olympic team and they did
I am trying to figure out how Angel Reese could mess up Caitlin Clark's game even if she wanted to.. which she didn't. CC had a good game. AR had a great game
Other competing Olympic teams just got a huge morale boost knowing that the US is not sending its best players. The unbeatable just got spanked and their coach got humiliated. Well done.
In the Dallas game & this All Star game, Erika showed me, that her & CC, then next would be AB, are the MOST FUN TO WATCH!!!!!!! It's their fast pace & high energy, exuberant style!!!!!!!!! They make it must see TV.
Finally - A video that highlights both Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese without the negativism and racism. I know that this video was about more than these 2 but it is that was my interest in this video. Wishing them both an amazing & long career.
Careful calling Cheryl Miller the greatest ever. Reading the comments, Clark is already the greatest ever. Some think Clark would beat Jordan in his prime.🤣
True. I was worried early on that she'd eventually get worn down by all the negativity. But my fears were quickly overcome by seeing how well she handles everything. Her off the court game is as strong as her on the court game. She'll be a force for a long time to come.
Ogunbowale has been in the U.S. national team pool for the last two Olympics but didn't make the roster either time. She pulled her name out of the pool of players early this time around, saying the whole process was political
She refused alternately status once again when snubbed from the team was my understanding. New to me if she simply declined before they even started selection. She also spoke out about the CC snub reinforcing her position about it being political.
I think it's hilarious that the "B Team" beat the supposed "A Team." I wouldn't have wanted to be a member of Team USA yesterday. That was embarrassing.
She did not break the assist record, the assist record is 11. Plus, why are we even talking Catlin, her game was mediocre. Shouldn't we be talking about Arike Ogunbowale instead, she's the one who dominated the game lol 😂
@@mikewhitman578 Have you ever played a wnba game? Must one have had to play the game to have an opinion? Even if you have played the game, one thing is for sure... You made ZERO POINT here. Try harder..
Clark represents a change in style - these old guard coaches are not equipped for this change - they have recruited to an old style of play, type of player, etc. The new crop playing fluid, fast, adaptable just beat them pretty handily with a single days practice. The WNBA has been doing things a certain way for almost 30 years and change is hard
Yeah, the 3-time Coach of the Year, Executive of the year, 4-time WNBA champion, highest winning percentage in history, most postseason wins all time, etc., should have her coaching career ended because a bunch of bandwagon jumpers are but-hurt over her not fawning over Caitlin Clark enough.
@@tammyboon6259 You run with that. I am genuinely surprised that a professional sports organization does not put you in charge of personnel decisions with your philosophy of, "I don't care if she is the most successful coach in history. She is a meanie-weenie, so she shouldn't be a coach."
I really appreciate how Clark makes her team shine. Her team hits the 3 shots and the layups. It’s a team effort. Yay Clark! I bet we will see her team protecting and supporting her more as time passes. Clark is not all about herself. 😢 It’s transformative to see athletics give life lessons and uplift the human spirit.
Cheryl Reeve plays politics. It's quite obvious that many on team USA shouldn't be there & many from the All-Star team should be on team USA! Why is this woman allowed to get away with this?
Anybody coaching against a Cheryl Miller coached team, with that kind of talent on it, is in for a long night. My personal belief is that Cheryl Miller is the greatest women's player and coach in the history of the sport. She is the GOAT.
Coach C.Miller for President! "I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm having fun!" And then proceeds to coach an a$$ whoopin against the League' "best". I LOVE it!
Hey. That's pretty harsh. As if tons of people don't do weed here in the states. Would you wish them 20 years hard labor in Russia? That's just silly. But...she definitely should have been left off the UsA team
@@js77zit's not harsh at all. Use your F'n head and don't take that shit to a foreign country! And then the U.S. trades the merchant of death to get "her" back!?! Un-fucking-believable.
@nancismith7705 two things can be true at the same time. Brittany didn't deserve to be stuck in a Russian prison for 20 years any more than any other American over there (unless they did something truly heinous). Weed possession isn't a heinous crime, so the fact that you'd wish her to still be there just shows what a truly evil person you are. Maybe pray to God about that. He'll probably ask you about that if you're lucky enough to get to heaven with your evil soul
