Cheryl Miller retired 10 years before WNBA even came to existence. In her days, she was often referred to as the best female basket player ever. She was even drafted by men’s pro league.
Caitlin can shoot 3s, she can drive, she can bounce pass, she can long pass, she can shoot free-throws, she can rebound, she can steal, she can block, she can fill the seats, she can increase TV views, she can interview well, she looks good in designer clothes, etc.,…. She’s the whole package like no other. A’ja is very good. Diana T is outstanding. Kelsey Plum is very talented. Sabrina Ionescu is a baller. Breanna Stewart is fantastic. I could go on listing numerous great WNBA players, but none have done what CC has done, especially in their rookie years. Serena, Venus and Coco didn’t do it right away. MJ, Magic, and Bird, were somewhat popular early on, but it took time before they captured the country’s attention like CC. Tiger is the closest to doing what Caitlin has done. Tiger and CC single-handedly blew up attendance in their respective sports, and started out hot from the beginning of their professional careers, earning accolades when they were still amateurs. Can anyone else in the WNBA come close to what CC has done? Appreciate CC. Don’t kill the golden goose. “Generational” talent? Heck, we may NEVER see a phenom like Caitlin. She’s not perfect, and she’s not the best at everything. But no female baller is the complete package like Caitlin.
@@kenwilliams3208 I would say yes. Ur I’m old school. Her brother is an NBA all time great. When he says she might be better than him and he’s serious …. You gotta think on it
James Worthy said he would rather play against Jordan than Bird. “Jordan makes you look slow. Bird makes you look stupid.” CC enjoys a high basketball IQ and it shows. 😎🇺🇸
You’re all crazy. She is not the best player in the league. Def not the best shooter, yet. And her 5 turnovers a game don’t mean shit when she’s often the five fantasy players on days she plays. Fantasy points subtract your turnovers and she still kills it.
This Clark kid can flat out play ! She is looking like a female Larry Bird ..... does it all, outside shot JUST INSANELY GOOD ... tough, tenacious & talented ..... you can sell her short if you are that kind of biased fan - but, SHE is the real deal. GBjj
Her passing is off the charts. Yes, she has a lot of TO's but she's a gun slinger...she makes passes literally no one else in the league does, and she does it multiple times every damn game. Her TO's will probably get down to about 4 per game (not this year), but when you are throwing down 10+ assists most games, and handling the ball as much as CC does, TO's are part of it.
Chelsea Gray does when she feels like it (passes). Otherwise, Caitlin seems to be making the highest degree of difficulty passes. But Gray passes well also.
As a kid that grew up in Cda playing hockey, I noticed that knowing where your team mates are at all times is crucial to successfully attacking your opponents, much the same as basketball. CC seems to have the ability to see not only where her team mates are but more importantly where they are going.
She was a former soccer player growing up. Just like hockey, soccer teaches you how to anticipate where your teammates will eventually be on the field. She can see that far ahead, hence why she was such a great passer in college.
There are some folks that just won't admit how good this young woman is. I kind of disagree with Cheryl about Caitlin's handles, I think they could be better. They're getting better but they're not as secure as I'd like to see them. But I agree she doesn't need a screen to get off her shot, yet I read people on particular types of channels that say she "can't create her own shot." It's just mind-boggling the type of stuff they say. And also, because of what she looks like people that look like us shouldn't support her and should support some other rookie over her. That's just not how I see the world. I see Caitlin as a basketball player. I'm really glad to see a sista come out in support of Caitlin. Game should be the only thing to consider. And someone like CM, that's a good thing.
What black people are doing to her is the exact same thing we bitch about is done to us They are stereotyping her And making her feel unwelcomed As white people have done to us for over 200 years We are being racist to this young lady but we frown upon it when it's done to us I fuckin hate this league
Yes, I left the conversation, when she said “Caitlin’s got great handles.” And that push off she does on offense and defense, has GOT to be called. When they do, she will have even more turnovers. “Great handles” doesn’t get you 130+ turnovers in 20 games.
@@jenasaisquoi9202turn overs don’t necessarily lead to points, but assists do, you failed to mention how many assists CC has. So if you add points scored plus assists( which lead to point scored) subtract points from turnovers what does that lead to.
I'm a dude and a baller and I have always been a huge fan of Cheryl and Reggie back at UCLA and USC Reggie shooting from a different area code come on now! Fun to watch I compare Caitlin to Reggie and Steph
Love Cheryl Miller. She was a force in College, Pro, and in the Olympics. Her encouragement to the young generation of women ball players is super cool.
Caitlin could have easily had another double double. It really looked like the game plan was to stop her from getting that. They told her to bring the ball down the court pass the ball in an no assist situation and then go off and stand off to the side.
In her senior year she scored 105 points in a game against Norte Vista High , her 31 jersey was the first retired jersey of a basketball player, male or female, at USC
If the Fever had a real coach, these players would be doing ball handling skill drills every day! Improve that aspect and the FEVER will be unstoppable!
And CC's turnovers would be reduced dramatically. A lot of her TOs are the result of her teammates not having good hands and not being ready for her passes. They need to keep their heads on a swivel and their hands up. Just because they don't think that they're open for a pass doesn't mean CC isn't seeing a passing lane. That woman can thread a needle!
Clark fan hates on everyone. People just say yes to every question asked about Catlin. Miller could give two sticks about what Catlin or anybody got going on.
I saw Cheryl tell a story on ESPN. Reggie came home from a basketball game bragging that he scored over 40 points. Cheryl didn't tell him she had just scored over 100 in her last game.
Love you Gerty! Your metaphors are always on point. Its a pity that a class act like Cheryl Miller (GOAT women's BB) isn't the coach of the national team. She has the class to ignore pigmentation and praise inspiration.
Reggie Miller is one of my favorite annoucers and personalities, so I’m a biased on him. One of my favorite comments of Reggie Miller is on his sister Cheryl: I’m not even the best player in my own family!
God bless her for telling the truth. Most them wnba players do not want Caitlin to go off so they blitz and double team , grab her arms and everything else
Yes, she not only a prolific scorer but a creator of many scoring opportunities for her teammates as well, that's why I got hooked right now in WNBA!!😅
It does seem like the Lynx players tried to reign in their coaches over the top hostility as best they can from what I've seen of their press conferences. 😂
Unfortunately, even though they managed to pull victory from the jaws of defeat, they seem to have taken a step back in the Lynx game and I'm thinking it was probably "coach" sides' stupid instructions to slow the game down that caused it. The team was not rushing the ball up court, especially on missed shots, and CC was unable to take advantage of those bad shots by Minnesota, wasn't able to utilize her own speed and the lack of an up tempo game plan allowed a very good defensive team like the Lynx the time to continually get that defense set. How many times was CC running up court only to have to wait for her teammates to catch up? Slowing down the game made the game much harder than it needed to be and helped depress CC's, and her teammates numbers, throughout the it. Fortunately, she took over in the 4th and bailed everyone, including her coach, out.
Yup, reminds me of Magic, saw him in Boston garden for his first 8 years, he was the best guard to ever play the game, by a huge margin. We laughed at Jordan 90% of the time.
Hope Cheryl Miller saw that game with the Wings. CC had 19 assists, YES you heard me right, 19!!! Holy Crap!!!!!!!!!! She just keeps putting that SHINE on those Fever player's! Now that's someone you want on your team! CC always a TEAM Player!
You can tell when a girl has been playing with boys and men a lot. The passes she makes are good, they're just not use to getting them. As you can see, Boston has started catching them. Played with some good women in the gym that can handle those and position themselves well to receive. Tamika Catchings, Ashley Robinson, Debra Rodman and even Sheryl at the rec @ Texas Tech. When watching the games, Mitchell has missed some passes, but you can tell she wants chest passes. Some player just don't handle quick bounce passes well and they have to be more mindful of coming to the ball. They'll be really good once everything really syncs. If Clark and Reese switched teams, you would see a difference because I think they could handle those passes better.
Ms. Miller is awesome! enjoyed your contribution to the WNBA! Please be the new coach for the Fever! WNBA would WIN WIN WIN!!!!! CC with Coach Miller!!! SHARE!!!
For those of you who do not know... Cheryl Miller was the most scouted person in NCAA history. Male or female. These people youre calling goat in women's basketball today aint got shit on Miller in her prime.
I love watching CC. Everybody gets on the turnovers, I get it but the way she plays I bet she stays at 3 to 5 a game for her career. Most people miss shots they shut down and hide while CC keeps firing it up. Her mental game is more impressive to me than anything. I would love to see another player in the league play with the pressure she gets. The W has a lot of ballers in it and it’s been fun to watch!
There is a lot of talk about the turnovers. Here’s my take. Yes she does try passes that just aren’t on. But it’s cause her brain is working so much faster on a basketball level than most of those around her. She will learn what her team mates are capable of and what they aren’t. She plays the game so much faster than just about everyone that even her team mates are struggling to keep up. Hence the TO’s where Caitlin is passing the ball to where she expects them to be… it’s just their brain takes a second longer to see the same opportunity and so they miss getting to the ball. Obviously that only equates to maybe half her turn overs. But if you create like she does you will have turnovers. Add her points and assists together though and the turnovers just aren’t really important. BUT she will get better!
i hate basketball never watch it because its a boring game but i like to watch this lady CC because she do crazy passing. now im watching her game her game only to see how she going to pass the ball
Great review. I'm surprised I have not really heard of these great black women basketball players and their accomplishments. It's also surprising it took a scrappy white girl to bring them their due shine. Thanks to Clark, I now know about Maya Moore and the other greats.
totally didn't see your face in the bottom corner until after the part where cheryl miller talked. then i glanced and said dang kendrick perkins has a youtube of his own?
The GOAT acknowledging CC#22...How cool...Dude...WNBA was created in 1996...Cheryl seriously injured her knee(Gayle Sayers injury) in 1992 in a pick-up game...Thus...she never got the chance to dominate the WNBA...
It’s funny that Cheryl praised Caitlin while her brother sh*t all over her. I’ll bet those two get in debates at the Thanksgiving table every year. Lol.
Miller is a hater she hates AR loves Clark didn’t get any 3’S 😂😂😂 only 4 points AR had 16 minutes double double clark had 26 minutes 4 points and couple assists 😅😅😅
If all she did was have turnovers, no assists, no points, no rebounds, no steals, no blocks.I would agree with stupid people. But since I'm not biased and blind, I have to disagree with only turn over's matter.Just asked Magic Johnson Jason Kidd Lebron James Caitlin Clark is a very good smart basketball player. She is also rookie and will continue to improve. People who only point out her turnovers demonstrate how small their minds are.
@@pyap9779 not just a turnover, but the part-time mixed martial arts combat she engages in. But of course, you all being the simpletons you are will downplay it, and say that the opposing player deserves the punch, shove, etc.
I have to say it.. and what about this great angel reese BS. She doesnt do Any of this.. CC is ripping All areas on the court, and reese and her do nothing on the court is rookie of the year?!!? What a joke! UUUHH!!
