That's who she is and we are sooooooooo proud of her as Iowans and diehard hawkeye fans and why we are going to miss Catlin in Iowa but we will definitely be watching Indiana Fever games and cheering on our "hometown hero" as well as the Fever its going to be so much fun watching
She pretty much eats pressure for breakfast, evident by now based on how she has handled all matters every bit of the way. She is amazing no doubt! Semper Fidelis
Caitlin Clark is a world class individual. Caitlin’s parents, The University of Iowa, and the coaches at Iowa did a wonderful job in her development as a person.
She is capping though about wanting the first pick to be Indiana in the lottery. I bet she wanted it to be LA Sparks because she would earn more money from her endorsements thus improving her brand enormously if she played in the Los Angeles market.
Caitlin's knowledge of the history of women's sports, Title IX, and the history of the WNBA likely exceeds anyone who has ever entered the league as a rookie! Indiana will love her! Already does!
@@Jay-kv9xc shes still finishing her bachelors but awarded the academic award for athletes. 🎉 She will graduate by May but may not be able to attend the ceremony cuz of the fever games.
@@Jay-kv9xc She's only been in college for 4 years. Did you listen to the Sheryl Swoopes stuff she said on a podcast? She said that Caitlin was at least 25 and was into her 6th year, so she should have to break records in the same amount of time that the others have. Caitlin surpassed Kelsey Plum's record in less games than what she did, she is a senior to be graduating very soon. She didn't use her COVID year, nothing out of the ordinary. She was ready to move on. When she graduates, she will have at least a 3.6 gpa with a degree in marketing. She would have to go through a few more years of college to get a master's degree. She is an Academic All-American as well as an All-American, first team unanimous basketball player. Last year she won EVERY National Player of the Year among other awards. She's on her way to some of those awards again.
Speak for yourself. I think Coach Dawn Staley and her band of undefeated champions deserve that honor. That is unless you want to differentiate them by race. SC can be Black America's Sweetheart and Caitlin Clark can be White America's Sweetheart. That's pretty much how it's been up to this point
I love how much we got a glimpse of Caitlins loveable personality, probably the most I've seen her joke around. About the cyclones, the links 😂😂, her brothers, finishing college, her defense getting coached. Great to see her relax and give a SPECTACULAR press conference! 22 YEARS OLD, PEOPLE!!!
Ms. Clarks’ Gifts and demeanor brought me back to this sport. I was raised in the outskirts of Los Angeles watching the clash of Titans Bird and MJ, then the Jordan era.. since then it was mediocre. I would tune in and watch Kobe and early Lebron , but only the highlights or last game clips at the finals. Then I stumbled upon a highlight reel of a pretty and humble brunette in a Hawkeye jersey, passing like MJ, assisting like Bird and draining shots from the parking lot like Curry on his best night. I thanked almighty God that moment for the gift he gave us ,of the splendor of hardwork and a dream in Caitlin Clark. There is hope in basketball and I am blessed to be alive to see it. Go Fever!! 🤒🙏🥰 Hawai’i is Watching.
She makes a difference. Basketball is not one of my main watches at any level. I will watch my NBA team and my college team but I don't just watch the sport to be watching. Jordan, KG, Kobe, Steph, Lebron are players I needed to see. I've now watched 2 women's NCAA basketball games. Her last 2 this year.
Plus we don't normally get Indiana fever games here in Iowa but now that we have a hometown player we will see more of them and I think that's at least part of the problem with the wnba a lot of the players are not well known or well liked for whatever reason but now that we are getting some extremely talented players that are well known the wnba will get more exposure etc and actually be able to make money rather then bleed it and I think another issue is a lot of people don't even know that the wnba even exists until now etc because it's not widely talked about or televised etc the nba should give up some of it's air time to the wnba until it gets in it's feet and able to stand by itself etc it's crazy
Wow the GM and coach of the Fever have got to be feeling like their team just struck gold. Caitlin answered all the questions perfectly. It was interesting to hear Caitlin point out that she needs to improve her defense, she is so humble. She has so much upside. I can’t wait to see her play again.
Proud of her! She has earned every bit of these accolades and yes her parents did a wonderful job as well. This is how it's done, like it or love it it's the truth. Semper Fidelis
Caitlin doesn't give herself enuf credit... SHE IS REALLY FUNNY! (witty smart awesomely self-deprecating - for such an Elite top-of-her-game athlete)... she probably could have written those SNL jokes😊👏🤟
INDIANA FEVER needs to keep churning out the merchandise for this squad and Caitlin Clark because the fan following for this team is growing exponentially each day... GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT! #GoFever 🏀
Caitlin is such a humble person! She knows her weaknesses, she admits work must be done to become better, & understands that there isn't an "I" in team! Hearing her explain about all her awards in her college career, are in a storage closet collecting dust. She is driven, to become better, & not focusing on her past. Caitlin will be one of the best ambassadors for women sports across the board.
@user-hb6ot5vf1iBasketball is a team sport the whole team failed in Iowa. She will win a championship in the Indiana fever and shut up all you haters. Do something more productive in life and enjoy it.
The fact that she has us watching an Indiana Fever Interview says enough. 98% of us did not care two years ago. I can’t wait to see what she and her draft class does.
We know why that's the case. You don't have to elaborate. Talent is abundant in women's BB. You wouldn't know that because the media doesn't push the narrative of plurality of talent. They have to push a certain face for that narrative. Paige Bueckers said it best in her 2021 ESPY'S speech
@@Robert-uc5pb Angel and FlauJae made me fans. & even if it is off the strength of Caitlin’s campaign, what’s wrong with that? Someone had to make people interested again.
@1lovisions355 The bigger question is what were the motives of these bandwagon fans? Did most do it solely because she's White? If so,how will that translate to more viewership for the current NCAA women when these bandwagon fans no longer have a Great White Hope to cheer for in college and then lose interest in the sport? That's not benefiting any of the current players. Go watch Paige Bueckers 2021 speech at the ESPY'S and see how it's contextualized with the current CC sensationalization. I'm not hating on Clark. I'm just pointing out what many are aware of but afraid to admit. Paige said it best in her speech and as a White woman herself she showed great courage calling a spade a spade. Don't take my word for it. Listen to Paige's speech...
@@Robert-uc5pb what if we don’t care about none of that and just wanna watch a baller ball? Sheesh, y’all cry about everything. Caitlin isn’t the only one people is watching, she’s just the one that made most tune in. Now we’re seeing Cam Brink, Juju, Rickea, Cardozo and all these other women balling. Iowa might lose some viewership but not bc she’s white, it’s because a great and entertaining hooper left.
I've never been excited about the wnba..... Until today. (well Monday, because I was at Gainsbridge for the draft party) C.C. seems like a wonderful person. Confident, caring, and charismatic. I can't wait to continue to support FEVER basketball for years to come!!!
Yasssss I LOVE this girl!! I was an Iowa Hawkeye in kindergarten and 1st grade Davenport, Iowa to be exact. I wish infinite success, happiness and fulfillment for this unique, beautiful spirit!
She is so grounded and down to earth with God given talent that she has honed into something extraordinary! This Hawk fan will be following her games in the W.
Caitlin is an undeniable NEEDLE MOVER! Her athletic ability and wonderful personality make her an outstanding ambassador for the sport & the League!!! #CaitlinClarkFanForever #CC22
Don't worry about the other WNBA stars hating on you. They don't understand that the viewers you get will have eyes on them also to bring the league up
They don't have to be jealous. A'ja Wilson is a two-time back to back champion and the face of the WNBA right now. If Clark didn't exist you'd think Kelsie plum,whose record Clark broke,would be the FACE OF THE WNBA AND HER TEAM.That's not the case though.
@@petep5207 Who's jealous? Breanna Stewart and Diana Tarausi? Those are the two main individuals who had something to say about Clark's achievements. I would love to know who else you think is jealous. I'm only seeing resentment that SC's remarkable achievements have become a backstory and how the media's sensation would have you believe Clark and Iowa won the championship. That's not jealousy. That's a legitimate gripe,buddy...
You have played very well and fought hard, you are an amazing basketball player. Thank you for your tireless dedication and commitment to your team. You have my support on your new journey. 😊🏀
She is so Poised in her interviews… Go on CC take the W to the next level I pray that you have all the success in the world while competing against some of the best to ever do it… You did your part in elevating Women’s college ball and now the clock starts for zero I am have high hopes that you are going to elevate the w.. CC22 #Caitin LOGO-THREE Clarke
Has Caitlin moved the needle ? So here's a thing, I've never watched basketball in my life, let alone women's. Other than MJ, LeBron and Kobi I couldn't name another basketball player, Anyway, I'm from Scotland, ride bikes and play golf and since hearing about Caitlin watching the Masters at the weekend I've now watched numerous CC videos, watched her SNL clip and now watching her presser. Yes she's moved the needle and talks incredibly well.
Gregg is 54 years old and being unprofessional, creepy and hitting on Caitlin who is 22 years old and has a boyfriend. Just weird af, take his credentials away and never let him near any women's sports again
Thank you class of 2024 for bringing excitement to Women's College and Professional basketball. I'll be watching just to see the Clark vs. Reese matchup in the fall.....I never watched Women's basketball prior to this year
Only recently become aware of Caitlin Clarke after watching some RU-vid videos. I have to say she is something special. Hope she flourishes in the pro game.
I hope the full games will be uploaded here because its hard to watch from the Philippines 😅❤ 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 Caitlin is extra adorable.in this press conference
Caitlin…your effort and attitude shows much maturity, also your confidence and inspiration for young girls is much needed today. I am a new fan of WNBA. Good luck on your life and career. 22:16
Awww she looks so nervous. You can tell that all this fame is still a lot for her. She's got a good strong support system around her and she'll do great! Looking forward to continuing to support her in Indiana.
Yes, that's two great players on this team. Because of Caitlin's great shooting, her passing ability often gets overlooked. Boston should be thrilled to have Caitlin Clark.
Class act Professional, always giving accolades to others. Especially those who let her be herself which compliments her game. It's nice to have someone so wholesome and none of that Ghetto attitude but still a competitive edge on the court. Someone who's happy to be doing what they're doing and no whining about what they don't have or aren't getting. A successful attitude period.
This girl has single-handedly gotten people interested in women's basketball and she gets paid less that $100,000 a year. it's ridiculous! Hopefully her sponsorship contracts will get her on a good footing. Go Clark!
Her pay is based off of the revenue generated before she joined the WNBA. She's worth more than the league, she can't get paid more than they were making.
From Bay area resident and will be cheering for Indiana Fever until we have our WNBA TEAM next year. But will continue to cheer CC. . Always fun to see greatness in your lifetime
Man, I wish they'd give her a break for just a bit. She needs a break after all that's went on these past 6 months. I know it's part of the job, but damn, let her regroup.
Imagine the pick and roll plays between CC and AB. OMG who are you gonna bail out on to.. both can do damage against you. You cant leave CC cause she shoot 3s of course, she can pass and make plays, and you can't also bail out on AB. She will just catch the ball, go inside and shoot a high percentage shot. I can't wait to see them play together. Go FEVER!!!
Followed Aliyah Boston at South Carolina and adored how she played the game.I felt the same for Caitlyn Clark,but could not route for her because doing so meant she would beat Aliyah,which she did last year.But,even then,I could not help but adore Caitlyn being so outstanding.To see and know now that the two of them will combine their talents is what dreams are made to be.And to top it off have talent like,Kelsey,Lyssa,Hull,Grace,Saxton and others.I am resting now so that I can be energized to watch and not miss any moment of the upcoming season.Congrats Fever.🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
