Diana Taurasi On Caitlin Clark: Fair or Foul? 

Clark will be great at the next level because unlike Taurasi, she had to drag 2 & 3 star players to the Championship Game whereby Taurasi played with 4 & 5 star players. I always bet on the player that did more with less.

Shes a jealous hater who talks shit about Caitlin but is crafty enough to try to make it sound like shes referring to all soon to be rookies!

Taurasi is the GOAT of the WNBA, and is in the GOAT decision for the college game as well. First of all, it is quite reasonable to expect GOAT level players to win championships. Maravich was dismissed as a sideshow precisely because he didn't win. Second, physically gifted players like LeBron James or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are more likely to adjust quickly to the pro game than skilled players like Steph Curry. Curry is considered the best shooter in NBA history, but he didn't average 20 ppg until his fourth season.

You have to watch everything Taurasi has said about Caitlin not just this segment. She has been really salty! RU-vid those and they get back.

Hate and facts are not mutually exclusive. It's all in how you express the fact.

For the kind of attention Caitlin is bringing with her to the WMBA it should be considered a gift, instead the haters are turning up the heat putting the whole WMBA right back in the gutter and quite possibly where it belongs until they wise up. Which will never happen so best of luck Caitlin…

Dude you and few others are the only people who keeping it 💯. It no hating at all

Yes she is hating on Catlin. Catlin has not responded or said anything. She just goes and play ball.

These jealous women are pathetic! Caitlin Clark will be the best thing that's ever happened to the WNBA. Maybe the WNBA can actually get people to watch and care for the league, because nobody watches now.

It's odd to call, "there is going to be a transition period, give yourself some grace as a rookie," hate.

1. There was something negative before You said 'nothing bad yet.' Tarousi (spelling?) and most Black people wanted LSU to win, which is why she, and many others, say that call was bad when it was the correct call ANY day every day. 2. Since the focus is on Caitlin, her comment on her "eighteen" year Olds was at Caitlin.

What pissed Clark fans off was the comparison between Caitlin and Paige. Both great players, one has a historic career, the other has a history of injuries and finished with a pretty good year. When asked "if you could draft one, which would it be?", Bird said how fantastic Clarks been and about the potential of Paige. Taurasis said " Paige" next question. No doubt in her mind, Paige is that much better.

There are all kinds of legends of NBA and WNBA, being receptive, we can't ignore that there is likely some resentment UCONN players comments. And a trend that UCONN players aren't as positive about Clark. Don't just walk past that. UCCON lost to Iowa. Do I think she is being hateful, maybe not, But these WNBA players need to be grateful, because the world didn't know who they were until CLARK! And, even though it's not relevant, the media wouldn't be doing stories about how some of them are lesbians, until CLARK brought in an audience and attention to the league. Holy Cow, I have seen more clips about there lesbian relationship than their games....lol No hate, just kinda odd. I guess Clark gave them a voice to be heard. You have to look at all the former UCONN players overall presentation about Clark even picking a UCONN player as the best college player over CLARK! hopefully, YOUR STARTING TO GET IT!'

Now she's crying more because Clark is on SNL another first for women's basketball ball, and a automatic draft to team USA

The 18 years old part is what makes it bad. They are not all 18 thats just a way to try to diminish

It’s about time some class showed up in the WNBA

bbickham5715 WHAT TRUTH?? Be careful. I am a life long Sioux City Iowa resident and have 2 Iowa degrees.

Sorry to say the older players in the women’s NBA majority are straight up haters I’m watching the women’s NBA now because of the new generations of talent that’s coming in now and getting ready to keep coming in

Yeah, Taurasi, Caitlyn couldn't play when she came into college, either. Right!

Bro, it’s the way she says it

That 18 year old comment diminishes Caitlin's achievement.

I posted this on another video about thjs : I hate the media!!! I was watching this show when this happened and her answer WAS NOT DIRECTED AT CAITLIN CLARK. the interviewer asked her a general question about this new wave of players about to be drafted into the WNBA. He even listed out SEVERAL names of the women about to enter the draft , and compared it to when male players enter the NBA and how the pro players will be waiting for them. He said in a lighthearted way “Caitlin’s coming, Angel’s coming , Cameron’s coming Kamila’s coming , so what will be waiting for them?” and she even responded in a lighthearted way before really explaining what she meant. And what she is ACTUALLY saying is valid. She was NOT asked specifically asked “what do you think about Caitlin Clark coming into the league?” , so them writing “Diana Taurasi on Caitlin” as a headline is sensationalism at it’s best. They even left out part of her quote when she said “we’ve all been there before” and “that doesn’t mean a players game won’t translate because when you’re great you’ll only continue to get better.” Got everybody debating and pissed over something that is not accurate. UGH

so it's acceptable if you don't call an obvious foul and uconn wins. i'd bet they would be screaming the other way had Paige been fouled taking the shot.

One commentator says: CC is white, straight, and draws in the most viewers. Most of the WNBA is opposite all of it.

C.C 33% shooting percentage and 10 turnovers 🗑️👎 😂

Yes she’s hating !! I just want to point to the NFL. They have players come in and make a difference their first year.

Pure jealousy and hate. Caitlin has not played ONE game in the WNBA and has already made almost 10 times Taurasi's career earnings. plus, Taurasi never got this much attention--and will never be credited with bringing eyeballs to the WNBA. This surge in fandom is ALL Caitlin. I repeat...it is ALL Caitlin.

Comparing Laettner to Clark?

Taurasi is right, even if you think she's hating. A lot of pro athletes acknowledge the transition to the pros is hard as hell. Listen to the interview Kelsey Plum recently did on Pat McAfee's show. As prolific a scorer as she was in college, Plum said she was getting cooked when she got to the pros. She admitted that it took her a few years to adjust to the pros.

they are all 18 year olds?? Is she playing in some JV league

She's a hater

Wah,wah😢

Harsh jealousy hater pick one😊

That sounds like truth. 🤷🏾 she told no lies. Some of you fans can't handle truth obviously if it doesn't fit your narrative. They will meet soon , Diana is gonna take her lunch. Even 20 years in the game, she's still a better player than Clarke. Clarke is great and gonna be great, but DT is the MJ of the WNBA.

Who's this lady? She never crossed my radar until I stumbled upon this RU-vid clip. Well, at least there's potential for more folks to tune into the WNBA, though count me out. It's still boring to me.

Diana taurasi is speaking the truth there's no hate only the truth

Lathner was a 🐓💩in college even if fairly good, Hurley and grant made that team
