KELSEY PLUM SURPRISES THE WNBA FANS AND CAITLIN CLARK! 

Shout out to Kelsey Plum, thank you for acting professional and acknowledging Cailtlin Clark after the game, obviously it caught CC by surprise. Taurasi and Griner welcomed her in Phoenix which was nice and unexpected by Clark fans. Hope other players follow your lead and except this young lady who just wants to play basketball.

Aside from the Kelsey Plum acknowledgment. You forgot to highlight what Jackie Young did as a sign of respect to Caitlin. When she ended up falling and slipping on the floor. Jackie stood next to her and untied both of her shoelaces just so Caitlin would have enough time to collect herself and not have to rush down the other end of the floor for the inbound play.

Jackie Young was all class early in the game as well. Clip of it is out there. While driving down the lane CC tripped, and slid on her knees right in front of Young. Young instantly bent over an acted like she had to tie her shoe, giving Clark the time to collect herself from the fall. 100% a new fan of Young's for that, plus she can flat out ball. That Aces team is stacked.

Women need to support each other. Go Kelsey Plum

Kelsey Plum aknowledged CC long time ago already - she came to see her play at Iowa one game and even congratulated her via tweets in advance of beating her as NCAA best scorer.

Oh what about Jackie young sportsmanship just by tying her shoes when cc went down that was class

Caitlin's initial reaction looked like she thought Plum was trying to tie her up, lol

Plum is a class act.

That was awesome and the one from jackie young that one was sweet. Jackie got my heart on that one

Yes, it's nice to see the sportsmanship.

Women's Athlete Of The Year ( Highest ESPY Award ) This award is given to the female athlete who is voted the best in a given year, regardless of nationality or sport.**** CAITLIN CLARK ****** is one of the nominees....

Wilson and Stokes helped her off the floor on separate plays, too.

In defense of Caitlin's shooting in this game, she was going against Jackie Young, one of the best defenders in the league. She did create at least 20 opportunities for her teammates to score, so she is productive even when she is locked down by an elite defender.

It would be nice to think that league could eventually come around to Caitlin. She really is a consummate professional and an honest, stand-up lady. Plum's gesture was very cool.

The good news is: Caitlin herself has said she wants to develop a floater, she knows she needs some more shot diversity. She just didn't have time between the college season and the start of her WNBA to work on it enough. I imagine a floater and putting on some more muscle will be 2 focuses in the offseason. Can't wait to see how she evolves.

What I think is going on here is that these ladies may have seen what Caitlin said when she was asked who gives her advice, and she said, “Nobody gives me advice. I wish.” It was a very telling moment. So these great competitors on the Aces are like, she’s a great player who’s getting hated on, and she’s getting no help. She’s feeling all alone with the weight of expectations on her shoulders. The girl just wants to play ball. Notice when Plum comes to her to give her some “good game” love with some actual affection and touch, Caitlin instinctively recoils! No doubt she recoils because the only touch and affection she’s gotten from competitors thus far is blindsides and head smashes. So she recoils. Plum, to her credit, goes back in as if to say, “No girl, I got you. Good game.” It was beautiful.

Came in to that game a CC and Fever fan, but left a CC and Aces fan.

I can’t wait to see the two of them playing together.

That act by Kelsie plum with CC probably rocketed Kelsie Plums public image. If all of them did likewise, the league would blow up with notoriety and fans. Fans of Kelsie and Taurasi and the rest of the ladies regardless of CC. They need to be open and accepting because the new fans want that for themselves, too!! It’s an ecosystem.

C.C. body language said it all . She's been abused so much in her young carrier, she was expecting danger . That should say something to the league. Kelsey plum showed class and the rest should now fallow suit .

Kelsey and Caitlan: the two greatest female collegiate scorers of all time!

I think you're onto something about CC & Angel playing together in the All Star game. It would be so much better if they can have a rivalry w/o a villian. I hope Angel's streak of Double Doubles is still going and that she scores her most points ever due to half of CC's assists going straight to her! #22isthenew23

She never gets in her rhythm. Once she passes, she never gets the ball back and never gets a screen. There are no plays built for her that allows a shot

Exactly...this is what the world loves to see and what the world needs.

People need to acknowledge those who exceed expectations and achieve greatness, regardless of sex or skin color. Caitlin is amazing and getting better. Her positive attitude, energy and enthusiasm is contagious.

On ROY they also released an ad for a wnba documentary on the rookie experience this year and it is just Rikia, Angel, Camilla featured. No Caitlin, no AliyahE, no Cameron. Also, about good stuff, that was cool what Kelsie did, but Jackie Young also stalled to help CC get up from tripping by tying her own shoe. Helping CC get back up. Class act.

A Wilson is the MVP- CC is clearly rookie of the year by a longshot- she’s the only rookie who has the best defender on her 90 feet from the basket and double and triple teamed on nearly every possession. And when you look up the stats, she’s not that far behind in rebounds from Angel, who is just grabbing her own garbage layups.

plum didn’t acknowledge that CC brought the fans and lied at her post game interview said they had sold out before game does she know they moved to bigger stadium…

Good camaraderie between these 2 teams. Thanks for the footage on it. And, Angel and Caitlin may lead in this same way when they play together on the All Star team.

Clark is so used to getting mugged on the court that she instinctively moved away from Plum.

I wish I could see that interaction with Kelsey and Caitlin up close. It looked like Caitlin backed away when Kelsey reached out. It looked kind of funny.

CC22 is my pick for the ROY period! She has the greater impact with the game and is an all around player in my opinion.

Did you see the Aces defensive focus on her? You are right the defense was the problem.

That's the most respectable way you could have made a video about CC struggles and how she can improve. Mad respect man!. By the way... I am a CC fan.. A Reece fan... a Boston fan... A Wilson fan..and many more ... it's okay to support other players y'all!

Angel Reese is an exceptional player but she talks about herself first. Maybe the media is focusing on those comments but she needs to spread the love to her teammates and fans.

There is a few players that get it start acting professional and all good players will get attention from the fans the world is getting tired of the cheap shots and thung like attitude act professional there are some really good players

You’re absolutely right, the Aces are a better team, no doubt about it. In fact, the Aces and the Liberty are on another level. They’re like super teams, whereas the Indiana Fever are good, but still need to practice harder together and jell as a team. Also, Kelsey Plum and Diana Taurasi are showing a lot of class! As for the All-Star Team, I’m surprise Napheesa Collier’s picture isn’t there.

I wonder what CC's per game averages would be if she wasn't being defended like a reigning MVP.

Go Kelsey.

Plum did exactly what she was supposed to do. She played lights out infront of the crowd

I think Fever had a chance to deat Aces but It was just a terribly bad shooting night for them. Those tyoe of day

I noticed Plum during the 3x3 Olympics and was very impressed. She continues to impress.

CC also showing a great sense of humor by faking a move to the basket and getting Plum to fall for it!

6:49 yeah this made me sick. Also the fact that we keep hearing about angels double double streak (which is awesome) but Caitlin has the most double doubles as a rookie guard since SUE BIRD…. 22 years. They haven’t mentioned that or her other records and firsts at ALL.

Good man. The Fever gave up twenty points with (1) five three-foot missed shots and (2) five dropped passes from CC that had scoring potential. CC had three well-taken shots with soft rebounds that fell kindly to her rebounders who expected same for easy put backs. Flubdamentals deprived the Fever of a close-finish opportunity.

CC is hands down the best guard in the league! Aja wilson is the best player , Diana Taurasi is one of the goats and their are other great players including KP. They should all be sending CC flowers because until CC came into the league no one ever heard of any of them.

I don't understand why some people say Caitlin needs to develop a mid-range and floater shot, I have seen her do both in college and she was good at both.

If you noticed Caitlin Clark's coach took her out of the game against the Phoenix Mercury before she could get one more rebound making the first triple double for a rookie in wnba history! I think Caitlin's coach secretly hate's her like most other coaches and player's, Caitlin Clark is one mentally tuff young lady to go through all she does with most player's and some coaches talking junk about her and still smile!

I voted for both CC and AR....and AB

kelsey is a class act

Her fans needs to step up and vote. To all fans It's not a popularity contest it's about the best rookie player in the WNBA that would be Caitlin Clark

The first reaction from CC is a perfect example of what CC experiences every single game. She backs away from KP because she expects to be attacked. That is a perfect reflection of the reality of the WNBA violence, jealosy, and just plain ignorant demial of basketball talent, team concept, respect. The lack of humility is probably offensive to many would be fans. It is no wonder that few ever get a promo deal, a shoe deal, or a special ball promo deal. You can not peddle fear and disrespect every day in front of a camera and expect to attract any prosperity at all, including attendance at games. Damn!

Fly, there was never going to be an All Star game without CC and Angel.

That would be BY FAR the smartest thing any current or former players would have said since Clark joined the WNBA.

4:20 all hail the (revenue) king. shoot i would give anyone that is doubling or tripling league revenue a hug. at the the end of the day, that's just gonna be mo money in all our pockets. Everyone in the league should be giving her a hug.

Exactly right you always want to be able to score any where on the court the midrange would be a great addition to CC'S Game. This would basically make her almost unattainable.

I’m really glad I just stumbled on to your channel and I love your honesty.

That was a great move at the end of the game by Kelsey Plum. Very respectful to want to shake an opponents hand after a game. Indiana fever needs a whole new coaching staff. What happened in the locker room with that assistant coach?

CC wasn't sure to start.Plum did class act.Jacky Young was great also when CC fall.

An mvp isn't the best player but most impactful

Yes, CC herself said she needs to work on both of those shots.

If they want the increased revenue, it's going to come from increased interest from fans . With the fans in the arena and watching on tv, players that new fans may not know about may catch their attention and maybe learn that some of the players that you have only heard negative things about are really not as bad as what they have been made out to be .

Caitlin Clark Until stumbling over a news item, I had less than no interest in women's basketball, at any level. . One Second of seeing CC-22 impersonating Stephen Curry hooked me! The second second and I realized Caitlin Clark wasn't copying anybody! . Because what I know is based on clips showing her shooting half-court 3-pointers and making magical passes, reminiscent of Magic Johnson to Kareem when everyone in the stadium and home in front of their television KNEW the Sky-Hook was coming and nobody could stop it, I see patterns where the playing style of CC-22 is changing the team. Boston figured out that all she has to do is get below the basket, stick out a mitt and the basketball would appear in it. . Anyway, I think she is playing perfectly, playing her game and letting the team adjust to things like having a pass actually come to them, and supporting each others play. I think I see a team in name becoming a team in practice.

Hey Fly great screen -I can really see the score- Kelsey Plum & Caitlin Clark -seems like she's trying to get along w/everybody-

You had good analysis of CC and what she needs to do. CC does needs a midrange game because layups are earned.

You are correct, Resse has been tearing it up.

Outstanding...

I can’t wait to watch them play on the same team

Kelsey plum is another player I’m so glad I know now. I love the skip in her run. People are pissy about cc but she highlights so many great players like Aja and plum with many others.

Super cool of plum. CC beat plum’s NCAA scoring record so this is great to see

Love your "name"! Very recent subscriber. Just wanted to take a moment to give you props and praise for such a refreshingly positive and intelligent power you have. You are fair, well-spoken and smart! Watching your videos is a real pleasure. Keep up the great work and I wish you prosperity and a million subscribers!

Of course. The Aces Are The Defending Wnba Champions. They Were Supposed To Win. How You Lose To The Fever!?

Fly - great commentary!!!

Love your objectivity, bro, and your all oer approach. Well done. I listened to that whole podcast and slowly began to realize that they weren't mentioning Caitlin. Now I get it, I'm sure people get tired of having to talk about her, but the more the "space" went on, it seemed like they we're going out of their way to discuss her. There were at least three obvious instances where anyone else would have at least referenced her merely as a natural part of the discussion. Not only during the "All-Star" talk and the ROY discussion, but when the comedian, Mel, whom I love, asked two questions, "What is a pick and pop," and "What is a fast break," to me, the easiest go-to reference (Not the only), especially since Mel said she was just learning about the league, would have been for the commenters to reference a Clark highlight. Mel even ASKED for a "visual," yet they kept speaking in X's and O's, which seemed like a ridiculous length they were going to, even in the mode of trying to educate a newb about the game, to avoid uttering 2-2's name. And I say this as someone who is not part of the "Clark fan" contingent. Just a fan of the game, especially Aliyah Boston and Jackie Young!

Yes, and I think she’s going to work on that.

That’s the beauty, they have the opportunity to be watched more. Now, its not only Fever games that I watch.

KP just dropped 30-something points. When you have a good game you’re the first person in line to shake hands. When you have a bad game you don’t wanna shake anyone’s hand.

5:29 I hope she does and they embrace it. It sucks though bc some of the espn media ladies hinted that Reese may have representation advising her to play this role and not be friendly with Caitlin.

CC 100% needs a midrange, more muscles and better defense. I’m a huge fans of hers and it’s not hard to see the obvious

Hey Izzy... really enjoying your channel! Keep it up!

Not surprised the fever were outcoached and played by a better team the fever are in the bottom 3, LV is in the top 3 this team is not built to win and the coach doesn't know how to teach them how to win.

First good to see the love for A'ja who is having arguably the Best season every in the Wnba But it barely gets recognized

MVP isn’t the best player in the game it’s the most valuable player. So you look at whom is most valuable to their team and how would tht team look if tht player wasn’t there. At least thtz how it started out

I think if the WNBA is smart. They would make this happen!!! This would elevate the WNBA to even a higher space!!! Just imagine a white n black dynamic duo like CC n REESE!!! Shit this will be must see TV!!! The Brain n the Dawg let’s make this happen WNBA!!! This will also take care of the White n Black animosity as well!!! WHITE n BLACK fans will have both recognition!!!

Thank you sir.

Excellent commentary and just subscribed. I like it.

Every player has its shooting streak Caitlyn they will come

She misses her 3 ftrs, she has 11 (actually 15) assists, which is minimum 22 pts. So she accounted for 35 points.

Aja plays with three other Olympians, all of whom have been MVP candidates in their career.

I love the sport of basketball. I don’t care what anybody where’s on their way to the game. I don’t know why it’s important. Can you imagine if the guys did this?

She should work with Olojuwan in the off season to develop her footwork around the elbow and develop a fade away kumper like MJ or Kobe.

why are we talking about a'ja with the word: ROOKIE? a'ja was drafted in 2018, two thousand eighteen...thats how many years to 2024? six years... SIX YEARS... a'ja had six years to develop where she is right now, clark was shootin a'ja's appg in college im not saying who should be mvp, i am stating these following facts: 1. when does an indvidual shed rookie status; six years is not just drafted or second season. 1a. you know what's considered VETERAN in WNBA a player who has played 6-8 years. lol... 2. mvp includes not just performance, but impact on the game, what was a'ja's "impact" when she was drafted SIX YEARS AGO? 3. a'ja wilson is a center, right there under or near the rim as a result her appg is 28. 4. clark is among the top 20 players in DEFENSE, since people want to mention "she has no defense" how has clark alone impacted this game right now? what is she doing right now to impact her team? lol, a'ja shouldn't be in the mention of roookie, mvp debatable...if she was so tight bangin' where was her hype during or after starting SIX YEARS AGO

The axes sure didn’t bring them.

I think it is too early to call MVP. Let’s wait until after the Olympics, after the play-offs and give everyone a fair look. Angel Reese and Caitlyn Clark are both doing incredibly well. I’m a huge Caitlyn Clark fan, but I do not think it’s right that we talk so early about Caitlyn being rookie of the year because it appears everyone has chosen based on popularity rather than improvement and impact. Everyone was floating Caitlyn before the Fever even won the game. And I get that, and I’m rooting for her. BUT I’m also watching Angel Reese KILLING IT on the court, and I have to say that while I’m rooting for Caitlyn, we all HAVE to be aware of how fabulous Angel is playing. It isSO RARE to get into the league as a Rookie yet alone become a starter in the game. This year, we had around 10 that made the final rosters and we have 4 nationally know Rookie starters- one even making the Olympic 3x3 team until her injury. That is a HUGE accomplishment for each of them. Any other year, Angel would be the odds, on media favorite, phenom player, Rookie of the year. We need to keep the conversation open so her extraordinary accomplishments are celebrated. By having a neck and neck race, we bring awareness to the Rookie accomplishments and celebrate the win fir the WNBA.

KP is a stone Cole killa,❤❤❤❤KP.

He be preaching fr 📠📠😂😂

The Fever got rid of Taylor, nough said about defense

Why does everyone else have to make the effort. Clark can do it, but I have yet to see it.

I'm just gonna say this I live in Iowa I like Caitlin Clark but there is a very large section of her fans that make people not like her with the ridiculous shit they say. And as a black man if I even imply that some of it is racial which it is then I get called a racist or a hater this is one of the most ridiculous things I've witnessed in recent sports history.

I want to see CC respond by coming out in some of the most outlandish, ridiculous pre match outfits, in a fun way just to let them know she’s noticing their bias. You’d think filling stadiums would be up there with your pre game outfit… also not mentioned
