Ice Cube breaks down Big3's $5M offer to Caitlin Clark & more! | The Pat McAfee Show 

It’d take 15-20 years to get that in the wnba lol

@@skylermummert24 🤣🤣

@@skylermummert24 Longer. She'd never be able to match that playing for the WNBA. It's impossible. What do I mean? The top WNBA salary is $205,030. Basically $200K. It would take 25 years to make $5 mil. And that's assuming she makes the top salary the very first year, which she wont. But let's just assume for the sake of argument, she'd get $200K every year from the beginning. With that said, $5mil in your hands today is money you can invest. After taxes, she'd end up with maybe $2.7 mil. If she lives off of the $700K and invests the $2mil in a fund that matches the S&P 500 and it averages 10% over those 25 years (the S&P 500 has always returned 10% over any 30 year block of time), that $2 mil turns into nearly $20 million! Now who knows. She's become so big, maybe she ends up making $20 million in endorsements and won't care about her tiny WNBA salary. The only reason I could see her not playing is if she tries to play with the men and gets destroyed, the mystique would be gone. I remember when Serena Williams was killing it and people were wondering if she could compete against the men. Obviously she couldn't, but many people really thought she could. If she ever tried and got crushed, I think she'd lose something in the public eye and maybe Caitlin won't play in the Big 3 for that same reason.

That's 500k a game. That's Lebron money. She should 10000000% get that.

@@jdeljonesis that really what Lebron gets paid per game ?

Lol see what u did there

Underrated comment

“Just waking up in the morning gotta thank God//…I don’t know but my💰contract looking kinda odd”

💯💯💯

it is a bigger middle finger to the WNBA,she cant take it.

They won't partake because they have a monopoly on professional basketball in America...why would they share that? And for the record I'm with you, they should partner

It’s not enough money

@@treyvonwalsh7173 Ice Cube has repeatedly done interviews where he explains how not only does the NBA not want to partner with the BIG3, but they've done everything they can do to sabotage the league. From asking particular TV channels to not show BIG3 games to asking players not to participate in the league. The NBA had Black Lives Matter blasted all over their courts and jerseys, yet did not want to help a black-owned basketball league. Isn't the league responsible for promoting the game of basketball?

ICE CUBE has to much global influence that would outshine the ole boy network but they can’t say it out loud and it’s a nuanced economic racism in a nutshell!!

Good one

FACTS!!!

Messed around and found out

😂 facts

Preach

*the product of the WNBA* is not up to par if the fans came to watch and support they’re contracts would show that no one is interested in them it’s that simple it may change with her and Angel Reese going to the next level but we will see

@@genoisnelson3830I don’t think the WNBA talent appreciates these kids with NIL deals coming in. They are all about their egos and wanting to prove they don’t belong.

@@vpxtrailers9395 ppl are only saying that cuz the hush money is on front street every athlete has an ego that’s how you go up the ladder so that’s not the issue the issue is deeper if you’re talking about bout the kids of today but for context of the post im replying the WNBA is a bad product so no one supports it so they don’t get to have large life changing contracts

The WNBA pay is certainly up to par for the worst played professional sport on earth. WNBA is laughable in the lack of athleticism and skill.

Maximize her earnings, lol. She makes more than 90% of people now. And will continue to make TONS of money on endorsements.

Cube and Clark both win even is she doesn't sign. The Big3 league gets its exposure, because yesterday, most people never even heard of the league. If it don't happen this time it will happen in the future. Caitlin wins because of the leverage, and the WNBA is gonna have to start forking out cash or losing players in the future.

Clark is already the biggest role model in womens basketball and the viewership she brings is prof of that. She hasn’t even made it out of college and the vultures are already out there trying to take advantage

More like 20 years😂

20 years max

@@kennethjacobs3716 If you're just trying to match the $5mil number, it's 25 years. However, she could never earn as much playing in the WNBA. Why's that? First off, I'll assume she'd get the top $205,030 salary from year one. She's a rookie, so she wouldn't. But let's assume she would. So it would take 24.4 years to get $5 mil. Let's just call that 25 years. Here's the huge problem. If she plays in the Big 3 and gets $5 mil, after taxes, that's $2.7mil. If she lives off of $700K and invests the $2 mil in a fund getting her 10% interest, in 25 years, she'd have a shade under $20 mil, blowing away anything she'd get with the WNBA! Now if I had to guess, she's not going to accept the offer. Why? 1. She's probably going to make millions in endorsements. She's just about a household name at this point and if I had to guess, she'll probably bring in $20mil in endorsements. So while an extra $5 mil is nothing to sneeze at, she won't be hurting for money. 2. Remember when Ronda Rousey was killing the MMA game and everyone was saying she could beat men too? Heck, even I fell for the hype. If she never got beat by Holly Holmes and Amanda Nuñez, there would always be the question. Can she beat men? Just like a lot of people think Caitlin could actually hang with the men. If she gets destroyed (which she would if the men played her seriously), her aura goes away, ruining future endorsement deals and she knows it.

@@isaacalbert8130exactly 10 years would be crazy lol

Perfectly said

The WNBA was already in trouble ... so double trouble? 😅

Ironic, considering women's college BBall is pretty interesting and exciting. Even if she turns it down, which she might because she may get $80,000 in salary plus 5 mil in endorsements in the WNBA. Cube has brought attention to his league that 90% of people never heard of til today. but she's the WNBA's meal ticket,they ain't letting her go....

@@dxwallace55 Agree. I don't see her taking the 5m, considering she would be the shortest and easiest to bully on the court. I mean yeah these guys are older, but they still bigger and probably more athletic.

@@dxwallace555 million isn’t going to touch the money this girl is going to make. Every athletic product will be begging her to take 10 times that amount based on her potential to change the game of womens basketball

ICE CUBE WANT HIS NAME IS. THE MEDIA. I DONT bekriege he made a serious offer to Katlin. It’s. A publicity stunt in my opinion. His. Failing BIG3 league need a boost. Allegedly

It’s a blessing for Caitlin. Now she gets more money, more recognition, and doesn’t have to get bullied by all those jealous, black lesbians in the WNBA.

@@timothyk6363racism isn’t okay, calm down

@@friedhotwingsyou’re right, it’s so not okay. Just look at how they’ve treated Ionescu because she’s not black. Edit: The vast majority of the WNBA is black and homos*xual. They DO NOT want a straight white women as their poster girl, despite the revenue she'd bring their league. Why? Because she doesn't fit their mold.

@@timothyk6363it’s one of those don’t do it too things. But yeah seeing the NY girl ranked 3rd by fans, 4th by media, and 19th by other players just shows there is something going on… also a black 3rd pick player said wnba is 98% lesbian

😂

🍑!

😂😂😂

He hater

But the NBA wants to play with their toys without sharing.

He looks intimidated by cube lol

But the WNBA does care about the players or the game. Everything points it to being ideology driven. Boxing is done and MMA is growing for similar reasons. Kick politics out of the game and wnba can be something

Golf are finding that out with the war between Liv and PGA.

She makes 5 million right now with her NIL deals, these deals go with her to the WNBA. In which they will increase the amount of money to her since NIL deals have a cap on them. Nike and Gatoride will pay her buckets of money, more than anything he can pay her. She could easy pull in 10 million a year in the WNBA just on endorsements alone.

@@Michael-of6zf I’m not talking about endorsements. She can get that no matter what league she play in. I would guess her endorsement dollars would only go up from playing in the BIG3.

@@IconSince87 Good grief - how much is enough money for you clowns? She can go to Indy,. make plenty of money, AND be with her boyfriend who works in the Indy front office.

@@plainsmanI was today years old when I found out she had a boyfriend😂😂😂 I didn’t figure her for heterosexual but oh well. Don’t matter. She can play some bball

Risking injury for a quick paycheque when she’s already guaranteed atleast 2 million yearly from her NIL sponsors is silly. If I was in her situation I wouldn’t do it, it’s not worth it.

😂can’t wait🔥🔥

She’s going to make 3mil + with her endorsements

@@youtube6238what does that have to do with anything? The endorsements will start rolling in as soon as she signs that BIG3 contract

Right its not like the endorsements will stop if she joins the big 3 ​@kemdaman159

​@@undrtddrmzmedia3331Her endorsements will go up in the Big 3

Aw stop it they won titles and championships she has not also she doesn't even have that type of personality in front of the camera like those two

Isn't he in jail?

I'm sure she already has a lot of experience in that regard. 😄

The Big3 plays team/3-man basketball While the NBA is strictly Iso-ball, 2-man pick & roll and stand around the 3pt line the occasional fast break is the most exciting part of the NBA

She also shoots from 35’

PaoPao of South Carolina is the best 3 point shooter in the NCAA

She also hasn’t had an open look for 3 years.

No one gets an "open look" in 3-pt shots.@@OfficerPolynice

He wants the one that is getting all the attention

She will always have the endorsements wherever she goes. WNBA sucks. Take the Big 3 deal

It frickin amazes me how folks like u can suggest how pro athletes go an make money how do we know that she won't take the five mil offer just shut up and work on getting paid more on ur job

Just typed a whole lot of nothing. You don't know how much she will get offered in endorsements, therefore you have no idea how much she will make.

@@LovethyNeighbour1011 Actually I do. Right now she is receiving 3.1 million in endorsement in college. You do the math when she signs with the WNBA.

@@michaelwilliams5234 And why not take the extra 5 Mil?

3 on 3 half court is the reason most people are one and done watching Big 3.

​@@laryanryan9170Nope

Good thing she don’t have to do that she can do both

U do realize most women teams in college practice against men don't u?

And loose​@@anthonytaylor7928

I’m waiting for a more formal discussion on points like yours after we get out of fantasy-land for a second.

And this also adds more unnecessary pressure on Clark

No. I think the average is only up to around $115k.

And for rookies, it’s like 80K

maybe because caitlin is better than her!

The media is creating this divide. We have capitalism for this reason. Capitalism allows entrepreneurs like Ice cube to create competition and offer people like Clark an opportunity

WNBA is a nasty, bitter failed league. They will bully her and not let her succeed because she’s not black or lesbian. She will definitely accept this offer

The big three has been on a major network since day one ?

@@anthonytaylor7928 I’m just saying this was a brilliant marketing move to get more eyes on the Big3 and it worked.
