Not only is Caitlin an incredible shooter but she is an excellent passer and she gets the whole team involved. She is not only the Rookie of the Year but she is the MVP.
@@richardmindemann6935 yes, but I’m not a professional. Additionally, she didn’t have an off day, she’s having an off season. 30% FG and/or 3PT is an accumulation of many games and shots. Overall is that good to you? She makes 3 of every 10 shots as a pro. When she plays against top talent she doesn’t perform. Her turnover rate is 6 per game. Is that an off game or an off season?
@@AlexYancey Even pros have subpar days. Just ask Steph or KD. She shoots a subpar % on threes, and turns the ball over too much. She has said so herself. She'll Improve both those stats, I predict. She and Angel Reese, the other ace rookie, both have work to do to reach their potentials. I think both are headed for superstar status, though, and they will propel WNBA popularity the way that Magic and Bird did for the NBA.
@@barneyrice8502big facts. They hate that they’re judged for being gay and black but are judging her for being white and straight 😂😂😂 like what? You’re basically promoting segregation 😂😂😂
TeamUSA and the WNBA were icing Clark last night. It was so apparent, that even Miller went and said something to Sue Bird about it. The sportsmanship and racism in the league, is so bad I don't want TeamUSA representing my country. I would rather forfeit then send a bunch of racist unsportsmanlike folks to the games. They don't deserve it.
icing her ? lol the defense they play on CC is a sign of respect .they are telling her this is how good we think you are . the all star was also about coach mad lesbian not wanting to have to eat crow . hopefully it was tasty . lol
She's a playmaker, she's adjusting to the professional style of play, she's good to her fans, doesn't retaliate when other players trash talk her, she carries herself well off the court, she's humble and breaking l o n g s t a n d i n g records as a rookie. I can see why some players who don't display these qualities would be a little envious. She's shaming them. They see, in her, everything a professional athlete should be.
*It's a shame she's going through all this because she's really really good!* CC is a breath of fresh air! Humble, well spoken and shares the spotlight w/ her teammates! That's admirable and _unusual!_ Heaven forbid a woman be allowed to be praised by another woman for their abilities or looks, brains, wealth, etc. etc. I'm ashamed to be a woman half the time.
They gonna keep messin around until Caitlan pulls out her inner MJ and makes the entire league find out the hard way.....but I REALLY want to see that.
let them squawk....and just let her play. she is already changing the game, lifting her entire team, and the league. her stats and play speak for themselves
She is amazing and she is a team player . She never talks bad about the other women on the other female basketball team . She is a great role model for so many kids .Cc loves giving her autograph to her fan . When they walk - up to her and ask her for her autograph .
As a white 69 y.o. man retired and a lover of talent and skill , I dig CC for her talent, hard work, and her skill that has produced the results that seem to be hated more than any social issue !
I’m just glad that you are white. It suddenly makes your comment more valid and relevant. In fact, before reading your comment, my only thought was: “is this a white guy” Thankyou for the clarification.
@MrIke303You weren’t getting the recognition because you obviously just weren’t displaying enough of your “greatest skills” for people to want to spend their hard earned money on tickets. You must not have been putting up the outstanding numbers that she was in college where people first recognized her. The only player so far who’s represented the WNBA, that people knew by name was Brittany Griner. Did you notice what a bang up job she did there for marketing? She really helped sell tickets for the WNBA. Thanks Brittany. The WNBA needed a Caitlin Clark to survive. If the other women don’t like how she’s helping the league, don’t take the raises in salary. Go back to what you were making before she came along. Go back to riding commercial planes in the coach section where you don’t fit. No one’s forcing you to benefit off of a new team member who happens to be really good. Quit being petty and jealous.
I think most of it is because of her passion and skills. I think she's more cocky/confident then classy but with how classless most of the WNBA has been, it's easy to make her seem classy. lol I'm also confused about the jealousy of her looks. She's cute but not spectacular looking. Cute and beautiful come in many shapes and skin color, too.
She has a GREAT personality and wants to be a good role model for the young players and even non athlete kids. Combined with her amazing work ethic makes her a winner every time 👍☝️
@@mbroadsr I agree about her personality and work ethic. I'll wait to declare her as a role model. People love to make someone a role model, then ridicule and ostracize them if/when they make mistakes. She's likeable in many ways but I can see her rubbing people the wrong way on the court because she's competitive and relentless and can make her opponents look bad. Michael Jordan is looked up to for that but for some reason they shit on Caitlin Clark for it. Likely jealousy.
@@frommatorav1I agree, shes attractive no doubt but her looks don't stand out. I think it's just cope as to why shes popular instead of admitting her talent. She can certainly perform under pressure.
Clark is a good thing not just for WNBA but NBA and basketball worldwide. The more attention the sport gets, the more people will play. That's a good thing for the sport all around
She got skills. SHE GOT NOTICED FOR HER SKILLS. It just happens that’s she’s pretty too and humble. If she DID NOT HAVE SKILLS, NO MATTER HOW PRETTY SHE IS, SHE WOULD NOT BE LAUDED TODAY.
CC is one of the Best Players in the WNBA. PLEASE let her play & Raise the total League!!! PLEASE, there is no room for this jealousy!!! FreddieB (MA) ❤❤🎉❤❤
TRULY WONDERFUL AND SO RESPECTFUL OF THE REAL PROS SPEAKING UP FOR CAITLIN CLARK SHE TRULY IS A HEAVEN SENT BLESSING TO THE WNBA AND THE WORLD! What An Honor To Witness One of The Greatest Professional Athletes In The WORLD! CAITLIN CLARK IS MAKING HISTORY RIGHT OUR FACES❤❤❤ GOD BLESS YOU CAITY❤❤❤❤❤ 🎶🎶🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🏀
I watched this video and it is all true. Caitlin has brought in more of the fan base and viewership. These women who say things or try to bully are not comfortable with themselves.
She's a shooting star that I hope will stay bright and I have nothing but respect for catlen Clark.. She's the sole reason why I started paying attention again to any pro sports.. she court general and every wnba player needs to thank her for all She's done so far..more money rev.. private flights.. filling bigger venues and she has the rookie player of year lpcked
@@colinjames7569 And let us not forget being racist like all her fellow Iowans. Have you seen how insane about Trump ALL her family members are? WNBA 'Black' players will always hate her.
Agree! Can you imagine being this new exceptional actor and while on the red carpet other actors were trying to trip them, step on their gown, spill their water on them...just sabotage them in any way they can? It's ridiculous right? Same here! Very Very Petty! They should feel embarrassment because they are showing the world how inept they feel.
Basketball you have zero white privilege. You have the opposite. If your white your immediately not as good. The reason CC is so popular is she works her butt off, she has zero arrogance and kicks butt. We, the fans, love her.
You have no idea what you're talking about. Rebecca Lobo, Sue Bird, Jennifer Azzi, Diana Taurasi, Breanna Stewart and other white players weren't looked at as not being as good as the black players. You CC cult members can't tolerate any criticism of your hero. When players said that she would have a wakeup call and wasn't going to put up the same numbers as she did in college, you fools said that the veterans were hating and jealous. They were right. Caitlin Clark's 17.1 WNBA scoring average is 14.5 points per game lower than her 31.6 NCAA scoring average. Her popularity is not solely due to her being white and scoring a lot of points. Not too many people outside of true basketball fans knew anything about Kelsey Plum before Clark broke her career and regular season scoring record. Why wasn't there this big media buzz surrounding Plum like it was with Clark? You have nearly the same story: white player sets single season and career NCAA scoring record, wins National Player Of The Year plus is the first overall WNBA draft pick. Plum's record setting season was actually better seeing that she had a slightly higher scoring average (31.7>31.6), a significantly higher field goal percentage (52.9%>45.5%) and higher 3 point percentage (42.8%>37.8%). The difference is that they didn't have a high profile black player to be the villain in a manufactured "white hero" narrative like they did with 3 time All-American Angel Reese, the 2023 Final Four MOP, after that 2023 NCAA Championship Game beatdown. There's a lot of people claiming to be Caitlin Clark's fans but they really just hate Angel or anyone else who shares the same skin tone. It's shameful that a lot of people have basically made this young lady the unofficial poster child for white supremacy
This is so sad! Women's basketball is finally getting the recognition it deserves and Cry babies who are jealous are messing this up. Well when everybody starts getting better pay, maybe they will stop being jealous and just say, ' Thank you Caitlin for helping us as a part of The sisterhood of Women's basketball
Caitlyn Clark is such a great player. I cant believe how the other players have treated her. White or black doesn't have anything to do with it the girl can play ball. They are so jealous of her. But like you said you should be happy she is in the league and doing as well as she is because if you step up your game you'll be getting paid better. The more coverage they have the more TV time the more pay. DUH!
I love the WHOLE WNBA. As a 63 year old woman on her journey back to fitness, they have been a great inspiration to me, each one. I played high school basketball (way back in the 70s) and we were all friends. We didn't care what culture or race. It was an amazing time and I miss the camaraderie of being on a team. I love to watch Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston on the court; loved the All-Stars and seeing Angel Reese with Caitlin; they worked together like a team. Love that little rocket Kelsey Mitchell and Lexie Hull. I am tearing up because watching ALL the players has brought back fond memories and lots of love in my heart! (today's my birthday and I'm looking forward to the road ahead!) Oh! How could I forget the amazing Arike Ogunbowale who's first words after receiving her trophy, "Hi Mom"! Love her!
*It's a shame she's going through all this because she's really really good!* CC is a breath of fresh air! Humble, well spoken and shares the spotlight w/ her teammates! That's admirable and _unusual!_ Heaven forbid a woman be allowed to be praised by another woman for their abilities or looks, brains, wealth, etc. etc. I'm ashamed to be a woman half the time.
I only watch CC GAMES JUST GOING TO KEEP IT THAT WAY WAS HOPING THE ALL STAR GAME WOULD CHANGE THINGS , SHE PLAYED WITH SPORTSMANSHIP AND GRACE CANT SAY SHE NOT TRYING 😮 SHE JUST WANTS TO BALL
For years they were lobbying for equal pay, in a league that never created any net profits. Now they have a player that can help the league to actually become profitable and all they do is bullying her. These women are their own worst enemy.
Humble, selflessness, skilled beyond reason, courteous and respectful wants everyone to succeed and works to this strength... team player and set's the bar for integrity and professionalism.. the rest of the league needs to grow up and be adults..
Remember it’s the Girls they always attack their own. Guys may not like another player but we acknowledge their skills BECAUSE we want to beat the best opposition in the contest not on the social media platforms. I want to beat the best to show my team superiority.
Never even considered watching a 'W' game before. CC is the only reason I watch one now. Not only is she a genuinely good person, she makes everyone around her better. She passes when she could make the shot, she gets the whole team involved. I recall the saying ' There's no I in team' and she personifies that.
CC actually highlights instead of overshadow. I'm a fan of AB, Arike and even the coach of the Dallas Wings now. Arike is real and doesn't want to get involved in the politics and simply want to play ball and that's what fans want to see. If they want to see drama, watch Days of Our Lives or The Kardashians or something
The WNBA players are showing why no one has been watching them for 28 years... If they aren't smart enough to realize that she is the cash cow the league has been waiting for, the haters are going to pay the price when she's had enough.
TeamUSA and WNBA team intentionally iced Clark in the 4th of the all star game and maybe earlier.(as I didn't see much of the game prior). It was so bad what they were doing to prevent clark from getting the assist record and to add to her turnover total. There was no sportsmanship at all. I have zero respect for any of the TeamUSA and the WNBA all-stars. I don't want them representing my country in the Olympics, I would rather forfeit. They don't deserve the right to be there. They don't deserve ANY support or respect whatsoever.
Little bit dramatic don’t you think? That would also have negative repercussions for CC….. Her achievements and play will show up the Karen’s…don’t need to punish everyone … including some other wonderful players who are supportive of CC. I think everyone is being baited into something that it just doesn’t need to be.
@madflower8723 you are delusional. Clark was 0-7 and was throwing bricks. Arick hit 7 three pointers and was on fire. Clark didn't want to get in the game nor did she deserve to. Noone is going to kiss her arse!! Especially when she sucked!! 😂😂😂
CC decision to stay on the bench in the All-star game was very unselfish. It allowed the fans a chance to see that there are other exciting players to watch besides her. 2 thumbs up CC
After all the drama that’s happened over the past eight years, some of us just want something normal. No politics, no pronouns, no blue hair, no men pretending to be women.
Same stuff happened to Curry. Opponents openly said his game was weak, he was called "light skinned", and he was intentionally hit and grabbed and cheap shot, and refs allowed it. Watch games from 4-5 years in for him and his arms were always covered in scratches and blood from the treatment. Harden and several other great NBA players said Curry should never have won an MVP award.
They have to up their game and cant flip flop around the court and collect a check. So its up your games or lose ya job. Simple she breakin records and ankles.😂
I'm not a basketball fan, don't know much about it. She caught my attention. On of the clips i saw, was they were going to put her into play, but she didn't, she said the person who was in at the time was doing so well she didn't want to stop her. She watched the other player with this look on her face, not sure what she was thinking, but she looked so happy watching her teammate. I don't understand everything going on, but if I was on a team having someone on the team like that?
You would never see or hear of her again. You’d have to be watching special channels at weird times. Just quit crying and enjoy watching her take over and humble these women… it will happen and to me that’s more entertaining than watching her give in to some soft bullies with no game.😂
These older players are jealous of what is happening to CC .....calling her a recipient of white privilege, yet as far as I recall her biggest deal has been from NIKE .... a black owned corporation so how that is white privilege is a mystery to me, more likely it was a hard-nosed corporate decision when they were presented with the best player to come along in decades with a long future ahead of her and the complainers are just full of regret that the big money was not around when they started ...... that's the way it is at times !!
The beauty and class of women in sports finally getting the respect and notice they deserve. Allow all to learn and grow, forgive the past lack of appreciation, low pay and slow growth. Eyes are on you now, we got you. Rise above it ladies, envy is unbecoming. Hurt one, you hurt the all.
Jealousy is an ugly thing! Iowa loves CC!!! She is a stand out athlete and deserves recognition for how great she is! She earned everything she has gotten. She deserves a team that appreciates her talent not hate
Caitlyn can still go to the Big 3 I'm sure they wil still take her. She is going to make the Big 3 money. Ratings, Fans, Fill Arenas. Caitlyn leaves WNBA loses. That will be the WNBAs fault. Fans leave stadiums Arenas become empty again.
Caitlin Clark is the first athlete I watch that shows me how to be humble ,productive and resourceful and her attitude is so mature The other players right now are jealous of her but she is the one player that can carry this league into a higher level of great basketball I hope Caitlin gets the respect she deserves in time because I dare all those Catlin haters to show me what other WNBA player can dominate this league in stats and she makes her fellow teammates improve their game and she also is a good role model for young girls and women in sports and she just improves her game every single game what other WNBA player does all that yeah no other player does THAT I watch Caitlin's game and you know these other players cannot stop her you see when Caitlin was a young girl a lot of times she had to play pick up hoops with her two older brothers and one day she went up to her mom and said mom they keep bashing and fouling me all over the court mom why are they so rough to me mom? And Caitlin's mom said well honey if you are going to play with the boys you have to get used to the physical shoving and pounding they are boys Caitlin yes that is part of Caitlin's past so these WNBA players better get used to getting beat by Caitlin cause she is tough and she focused on one thing winning the game Caitlin is awesome she is actually better than some NBA male players but she never brags or loses sight of how to be not just a good player but be a good person as well Good for her and the WNBA And the records never lie Caitlin Clark is a scoring machine a playmaker and a defensive disruptor she is undoubtably in just her rookie year the best woman's basketball player in the world right now Angel you are not the best player but you and Shaq are can think it but the stats do not lie Angel, Caitlin is the GOAT for now Go Caitlin Go your awesome girl
Caitlin is a great player, and classy. She doesn't have to apologize for being white nor talented, nor does she need to downplay her talent. Let her play the game and stop being so jealous of her or don't play. What about those black players who are highlly talented? I don't see them being pressured to downplay themselves, why should Caitlin?
