Kelsey Plum on Caitlin Clark, WNBA vs. Olympics, NBA All-Star Weekend & more! | The Pat McAfee Show 

I am a Kelsey Plum fan now

Kelsey is a great guest. I like her positive attitude.

I love Kelsey. She gives me hope for the W. She’s not a hater.

14:50 She's absolutely right. It's been a while since I've watched the PMS. The questions you guys are asking are great. You're not just BS'ing stuff and joking around. You're asking legit questions that we also have. Really good interviewing.

if all wnba players shared her attitude. the game would be WAY bigger than it is. my goodness. this was a joy to watch. shes very humble, respectful, everything opposite the stigma that IS a WNBA player. need more kelsey. great great interview guys

"I have too much to be thankful for in life to hate on anybody" - MAN....could the world (and especially all the chattering about Reese, Clark, etc.) use an extra large dose of that! Well said Kelsey!

Watching Kelsey Plum (2x WNBA champion) toss t-shirts into the crowd is one of the most beautiful things you will ever see in life on this planet. I'm jealous of Darren Waller!!!

They aren't inviting the WBA, they want Clark....😂

Hey Pat and everyone else. This was brilliant. Kelsey is so much fun. A footnote-I’ve been watching your show since you guys started talking about Caitlin. It’s great that you guys talk smack to each other.

I started watching Iowa because of Caitlin but after this interview, I’m kind of a fan of Kelsey. She has such a great personality. I saw her throw a shirt deep into the stands at a basketball game a long time ago and had no idea who she was. I’ll be watching the Aces AND the Fever

That “Jesus” when she mentioned their names was spelled wrong on the ring was real. 😂😂😂

These Guys are so funny. Last Championship for Kelsey Plum and Las Vegas Aces! LOL.

This type of interview helps the wnba most interviews with players only come off negative like they're complaining.

Im glad thats its a committee picking the players and not Geno picking all his former players making a UCONN all star team.

I love me some Kelsey Plum! So down to earth.

16:17 The year Indiana Fever won the championship, that was an Olympic year. The Fever played the Minnesota Lynx in the finals. Minnesota had three Olympians on that team: Lindsay Whaylen, Maya Moore, Simone Augustus, and their head coach Cheryl Reeves was an assistant. The Fever had one player on the Olympic team who didn't play much, Tamika Catchings. End result, Indiana Fever 2012 WNBA champion, and Tameka Catchings, finals MVP. 😅

She's a BEAST!!

"Other people got other offers" .. that's a fully loaded statement that can be shot right out the air. Only Angel Reese, JuJu, Flaujae/Ionescu(?) Bueckers could move the needle for BiG 3.

Good show!

One of the best and most entertaining interviews I’ve ever ever seen in my life by far😂

Does it get any classier than Kelsey….. Wow! Great interview guys!

Long time fan of Kelsey she took a while to get going learning to play defense got her more minutes. But throwing t shirts she has a great arm the best.

Wow it’s great to see Kelsey Plum comment on this upcoming game on Friday night between Iowa and U Conn in the Final Four! She’s a big time scorer too! It’s going to be a great game and I’m anxious to see who wins!

HIM: How many GIRLS are there training... HER: Yeah, there's 14 WOMEN here...

Kelsey Is awesome!!

Pat went str8 in 😂😂

The way pat talks about the wnba sounds like hes trying to convince kelsey that hes a fan.

Kelsey Plum is great.

One of my favorite WNBA players. I have been a fan of Kelsey since her college days. All I will say is GO ACES!!!♠️♥️

Did the caitlin clark state farm commercial play half way throught for anybody else😂

Kelsey Plum (Washington) 4 yrs (2013-2017) Age (19-23) Minutes Played 5196 Points 3527 Assists 523 Rebounds 596 Steals 198 Caitlin Clark (Iowa) 4 yrs (2020-2024) Age (18-22) Minutes Played 4832 Points 3951 Assists 1144 Rebounds 990 Steals 210

❤ Kelsey Plum ❤

She’s awesome!

Kelsey is Cool!

I like this show

I'm surprised she's talking about doing a mixed shooting competition at the All-Star game and didn't mention the "Shooting Stars" that went on for years.

My favorite player!!!

Just tryna figure out the day iama decide to get kelsey plum ❤

They controlled and dominated the boards last year, and Iowa still beat them. The game, if they both get there, will depend on if Iowa is making their shots. If they do, they can beat them again

23:08 Brian January, would you play for the Fever, she tore her ACL. When she came back the following season she was not wearing a knee brace. Someone asked her why? She said its healed, I don't want any reminders of weakness. That right there, is mental toughness.

She’s great, I love her

He game sooooo rawww….🔥🔥🔥

I first noticed the #PMSLIVE in the corner when they went to her solo shot and then I remembered the name of the show

Honestly Kelsey you're my fav female player now! Coolest most chill down to earth human being ever!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

I love Kelsey, but I love Caitlin more 😂😂❤️❤️ go FEVER!!

Awesome! Need role models like her for all the young female athletes, thank you.

I would love the have a spelling mistake on my championship ring that's so cool. Plus it bigtime makes it one of one.

i don't know kelsey plum she is cute. but i happened to know her bcoz of CC. i'm now an WNBA fan now

Best thing to happen to her and the WNBA, is when Bill laimbeer stepped down as coach of the aces.

WNBA will sell way more tickets with this new generation of players. They are boring games to watch compared to NCAA.

Kelsey made it sound like the transition to the W is a struggle when talking about Caitlin. On the other hand, she said NC St. has two guards pro ready?

I love how she talks smack to the boys.

I saw the first WNBA game on TV in the summer of 1997 New York Liberty vs LA Sparks when I was 12 years old. Bring my Houston Comets back!

i got to go to the ncaa womans sweet 16 in portland so good

I can’t wait til the Fever play the Aces. I’m a big Plum fan. She’s gonna cook CC like thanksgiving dinner😂😂😂 and Gray gonna eat the leftovers while Aja serves dessert. Omg. I can’t wait🎉🎉🎉🎉

Houston comets still the goat…

Kelsey Plum you are a beast excellent basketball player

i just love that shes not a victim and so anxious to be offended and is just grateful to be respected.

Sure other offers exist....😂😂😂😂...yeah we believe that...😂

What these women don't realize is, we didn't know who they were before Clark....FACTS!

I'm new to the NCAA; thanks to Caitlin Clark. I don't know Plum from Adam, but I've been growing a strong dislike for her. I can tell you that Plum and the other Clark haters have turned me off of the WNBA. I'll only be watching games that include Clark. Riddle me this. Last year on April 10, Aliyah Boston is the #1 draft pick for Indiana Fever. First in franchise history. Plays a week in May, named Rookie of the month, wins the same for June and August. Named to the WNBA All-Star team June 25th (only the sixth rookie to accomplish that)! She finishes the season being named WNBA Rookie of the Year; AP Rookie of the Year, and WNBA All-Rookie Team and was added to the roster of the U.S.A. Olympic Team. Her team went from 5-31 losing record(2022) to 13-27 record her rookie year. For all intents, this is Boston's team with a plan to grow the team around her. Then, out of the blue, they get a 1st round pick! What I don't get is Clark's role on that team? Does she take a back seat to Boston, and try to contribute by filling the holes, or do they start from scratch and focus the team around Caitlin, something I would think would be a step back and unfair to Boston. But it is a business. Does fair matter? Why not take that 1st round pick, and, rather than pick Clark, trade it to LA for their 2nd and 4th round picks, and use those to bolster what Boston has started. The love Boston received from the WNBA is strangely lacking and the exact opposite reception to the WNBA for Clark. Having Clark go to Indiana and taking a secondary offensive role would be the best outcome for the WNBA. They could downplay and stifle Clark and keep her from taking the league by storm. I don't believe that the U. S. A. Olympic tryout offer to Clark was sincere. I believe that issue is a dead end and the team has already been decided, minus Caitlin and Griner. I'm not sure why they extended the invitation. You can be sure that Caitlin's WNBA player haters will make sure that she isn't included in the Olympics or the WNBA All-Star games for as long as they are able. As Plum so aptly stated, "Clark should go play the Big3".

"We LOVE The W!" ... "Do'in The Lord's Work!!" ❤🙏

I personally would love if the big 3 went coed. (2 men, 1 woman on court always). Something to really differentiate itself.

I thought she was Mrs Waller

I like at the begining he shouting stuff that dont matter like Caitlin not the only player to matter in womens sports

Excited to see 🎉❤ KICK her in! Caitlin can do it!)))🙃

Kelsey Plum what's good

She is the only 1 that have that offer 😂😂😂😂

So people forget Candace Parker came in the WNBA and won MVP and Rookie of the Year in the same season? 🤨 well I’ll be honest from my viewpoint I see Caitlin Clark taking to WNBA to new heights immediately after her rookie season📈💰

Surprised Kelsey didn’t ask for revue from a failing company like the wnba. lol.

So I did enjoy playing with cece. I'm glad she practiced after we split our ways. Now, she is to predictable. So she wants to play her father next game. I remember the day dez tried me on the lanes. Last nights games has an asterisk now. They would of won with that last shot. I knew the code to her joystick lol

LeBron came out about Caitlin Clark. He was mad at the WNBA stars who bad mouthed her during the finals. Three ex-Connecticut superstars are so jealous of her success that they would ruin her coming to the WNBA because of spite. Do they have any idea how much she is worth to the WNBA? What have they done in 20 years to grow the game. NOTHING. THAT'S RIGHT-NOTHING. Her Indiana team will be sold out in days. Every place she goes, they will have a sell out. Perhaps they like making $75,000 a year instead of a million. That's what they are putting into jeopardy with their really stupid comments. Stewart won 4 championships in 4 years on the backs of 12 McDonald 5 star All Americans. Woopie. Caitlin brought Iowa to the top with only her as a 5 star and all her best friends who believed they could make it. A legacy is something else. THey should be honoring her not badmouthing her. Help her achieve what is best for Women's basketball and then they can brag. Until then, be quiet.

I don’t get why Paige was player of the year in 2021 when Caitlin who was first team all American and co freshman of the year, and the other co freshman of the year wasn’t Paige btw (apparently you can win player of the year as a freshman but not be one of the two different freshman of the year) Caitlin had better stats then Paige across the board, A LOT BETTER! Paige averaged 18 points per game, Caitlin averaged 27! Paige averaged 4 assists, Caitlin averaged 7! And they both averaged 6 rebounds per game although technically Caitlin edged her there also averaging 5.9 per game to Paige’s 5.8…. So can anyone explain why Paige won player of the year and everyone thought she’d become who Caitlin apparently already was?

They could use this to help the WNBA like how Johnson and Bird did. If Angel Reese wanted to help the league she could stop the extra trash talk. Right now the WNBA is getting help from the NBA to stay alive. They think they should be paid the same as the NBA they have to consistently fill the seats for the owners to come up with that kind of money. 💵💵💵 I know Sheryl Swoopes says she didn’t really earn those record because she had 5 years, no she had less games than Kelsey Plum and Brittney Griner to break all those records. She’s only 22 and only averages 20 shots per game. Why was Larry Bird, Pistol Pete Maravich, and John Stockton allowed to play because they were white and privileged right ?

NBL: wNBA vs mNBA wNBA regular season is 40 games. mNBA regular season is 82 games. (‘Simpleton’ math says average wNBA salary should a bit less than half the average mNBA salary, but there are some other relevant factors.) wNBA 2023 regular season total attendance- 1,587,488 mNBA 2023 regular season total attendance- 22,538,518 wNBA 2023 regular season total revenue- 200 million dollars mNBA 2023 regular season total revenue- 10.58 billion dollars As good as Catlin Clark is she still not good enough to rescue the wNBA from relative obscurity. Adopt a wNBA veteran for only $18.99 a month.

Putin Caitlin on the US Olympic team!!!

it funny that the women of ncaa are more lit then the pros , the women college is lit , there making w players talk about them . just from just ballin and rating , the w needs to take the blueprint from ncaa women matches of stars ,if you ballin men will watch anything

She should be in team USA...

im loving womans sports this year

She can ball and fast

Tells them she's practicing with Team Usa but says she didnt make the team yet. Smh

“Revenue shared” I will never forget how stupid she was for trying to be smart 😂.

That was 5 minutes and 39 seconds wasted that I will not get back. Too bad.

She doesnt like clark...she is trying to hide it but it is there.

Just "sub" her IN !

Kelsey talked crap about Caitlin....jealous much? The WNBA sucks, and Caitlin should not lower herself to that level.

👀

WNBA, viewership, about to go PARABOLIC!!🤑💚🍀

id like to know when the woke NBA players are going to grow a pair and remove their funding to the WNBA to see them stand on their own finally after 25yrs of being in operation . Then you will see the change of attitude of the players in the WNBA

Where did her urban accent go? 😂😂😂

He called america the best football place on earth 😂 he needs to watch Aussie rules football

WNBA players are so bitter, wild

I will never watch the wnba until they get rid of that stupid white patch basket ball its so ugly in flight

not doing CC any favors by talking all this trash, lol

Kelsey's husband is a lucky man.

Imagine having a company that doesn't make money but you continue to pay your employees. That's the WNBA

She is so jealous of Caitlyn

Wnba player's hating on Clark cause she brings a 3.1 million NiL that's following her to the NBA world plus her new Indiana Fever Contract so they Trolling they Hating watching Caitlin driving to the Money 💰💰 💰💰💰

I listen to kelsey she so so much smarter and better english then angle reese

It’s laughable that people think Caitlin Clark is going to dominate the WNBA next year…. Yall do know Kelsey Plum was breaking records at Washington right??? And you’re smoking meth if you think Caitlin Clark would dominate Kelsey Plum…. Sabrina Ionescu, Briana Stewart, Aja Wilson 0:48 - you taking Caitlin Clark 😂😂😂 and go back in time - Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird, Maya Moore, Candace Parker, Sheryl Swoops……. Caitlin Clark is the JJ Reddick of women’s basketball…. I’m taking any and all legally binding bets that Caitlin as a rookie won’t average what Kelsey or Sabrina did… and don’t talk about “better situations either” - if Caitlin is the 🐐 like you say she is then “situations” are irrelevant….
