Shaq on Caitlin Clark: 'Best female collegiate player ever' | Inside the NBA 

Not true Stephen A smith gave her props even though he did turn around & try & make it about race later in his rant. That's more then many like Jay williams or swoopes. Both of whom throw out fake information & even lies trying to keep Clark & Iowa down.

Charles Barkley is the #1! He really, really doesn’t give a f…! Long love Sir Charles!

​@@craighanson-rc1md SAS is a woke left plant. His job is to keep making it about race. He does that well.

Yes, I respect Shaq's opinion over all the ignorant other ranting jealous players.

You didn't listen to him when he was younger.@@gost5835

This women college basketball lol

The fact that it wasn't just 49 points but she got 13 assists with it is insane.

Swishhhhhhhh

Clearly something called practice & years of it something most people let alone most sports especially pros don't do much anymore. Caitlyn still shows that she's one of those who literally lives & breathes basketball & when not at a game or an official practice is still probably reviewing video of her games/ rivals or shotting hoops herself on some public court or the backyard. Especially when people get to the pros like Curry Lebron they may show up to some or all of the official practices just to keep their spots & coaches happy but immediate offcourts probably even during practice are elsewhere.

@@craighanson-rc1md if her ballhandling gets even better lordy idk who can guard her.

@@dsteele2332 I understand & see your point but no one even in the NBA or other professional sports for any gender no one has perfect ball handling. Not lebron not curry not larry bird not jason williams not kobe not shaq. All of these players throw bad passes dropped or lose control of balls shot air balls or had passes picked off yet she & her team keep putting numbers up & winning games. Lebron nor Curry can currently do that for all the money they make they still throw bad passes or lose the ball or get blocked have their shots block & even miss. Angel Reese throws bad passes & misses a lot of shots LSU is only as good as Angel is she is ultimately the LSU team & I look forward to her playing Caitlin in the WNBA in the future. Should either or both choose to go that way I'd probably even go if not watch the two play in the WNBA when they play each other.

Kiss up much?

Shaq is lying, and is all about making white people happy. Your comment just proves my point.

Stop it. How can she be the best if she's NEVER won an NCAA Title Championship? That would be like saying Barkley, Malone, Stockton, Dominique, Nash, AI, etc is the greatest player ever in the NBA. Neither of them won a ring and neither has Caitlin Clark

@@FreedomFighter2112 POINTS SCORED IN COLLEGE!

​@@FreedomFighter2112every person you named was getting beat by a guy that scored alot more points than them a game and was winning titles. If she played at a college with help on her team it would be a different story. Shes dragging that team on her back

@@FreedomFighter2112 why will she be chosen No 1 over Champion Players? Duh

@@bipolarpunt5721 Try and think of any player in any sport who was considered the greatest player of all-time without having won a title, ring, belt, etc in their sport? I'll save you the trouble...there isn't such a person. To be considered the best, you have to lead your team to win a title.

It has everything to do with the fact that Caitlin is a Caucasian

@@mastercarpenter1970 And is not black, racist.

@@joeshmoe4671 by definition, caucasians are considered non blacks, this is true. unless you like patrick mahomes, and then you get the best, and worst, of both worlds.

What did swoopes say? I missed it

@@docbradleydcbasically a lot of false facts about Caitlin having extra years to beat records due to covid 😂 and that her play-style wouldn’t translate to the WNBA 🤦‍♂️

Stewie and A'ja send their regards

You can’t be the best in the world and not have a championship to show for it.

@@curtistillman4898 Championship is a team sport

She is the best player in Woman's College basketball...just because u scored the most points doesn't mean u the best

@@curtistillman4898this might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever read.

Yeah nobody sways him lol

The only record Clark broke is scoring for white girls 4,061 Pearl Moore is all time leading scorer goggle it

@@josephtripple2735huh

​@@josephtripple2735in a tiny ass division against easy competition

@lipsumnip did you say that for Bill Russell 🤔 I don't think so I know you hurt but the fact is Pearl Moore is all time leading scorer 4,061 happy black history month

​@josephtripple2735 caitlin clark is all time top scorer in NCAA history pearl Moore isn't even on that list so why bring it up and if caitlin clark chooses to play a 5th year she will surpass that record too... just accept she is the best shooter in today standards...

Easily.

Wow! Pathetic??? Such a strong and inflammatory appraisal of what I consider to be a constructive debate. I know that we are not allowing this subject matter to cause us to be emotionally triggered. Are we? I most definitely enjoy a good debate, but I’m here for just the fun and giggles. Enjoy your weekend. Peace and blessings.

​@@curtistillman4898the game is evolving it's not comparable to what came before. She's way more skilled than the women that came before and it shows.

I really appreciate the dialogue, but this is one of the reasons why comparing players among generations are difficult to do. Is she the best female player ever because of her skill level and her being the highest scoring player in history? I say no, and let me give you an example of why. Less use Michael Jordan as a laboratory example. He is not considered as the most skilled basketball player to ever played a game, and neither is he the NBA all-time leading scorer. Michael Jordan’s teammates would have never became better players as long as his concentration was on being the best individual player. The Chicago Bulls did not begin to win until Michael Jordan became a better team basketball player, and because of such 6 NBA titles, and three peat twice with no losses became his legacy and it is why he is legendary. Bill Russell has more titles but is not considered the greatest, wilt Chamberlain was more dominating but is not considered the greatest, Kareem Abdul Jabbar had the all-time scoring title just until recently, and is considered the greatest by some. Michael Jordan is considered the greatest by most because of a combination of Scoring, defense, tenacity, leadership, and getting it done at the most crucial times. These other female basketball players are in the conversation as the greatest female basketball player of all times because of these very same tangibles and intangibles. I will consider her name in the greatest female basketball player of all times by the same such standards. Hopefully having a difference of opinion doesn’t qualify someone as a hater. Qualifying someone as a hater because of having a difference of opinion is rather weird for a person of my generation at the age of 63. I really just don’t get it. I appreciate the dialogue. Enjoy your weekend. Peace and blessings.

I believe Sabrina Ionescu didn't just blend with the other players. She is part of the reason Caitlin is known because Sabrina brought more fans to the game

I agree that Sabrina does a lot of things very well, and the fact that she has double figures in assist means that she is playing team friendly basketball, and her teammates are contributing very well. This is the recipe for a player that has a great chance of winning a championship. I believe that she will win a championship within her playing career. Thanks for the contribution to this dialogue. Enjoy your weekend. Peace and blessings.

@@FreedomFighter2112 NCAA championship is about the team being the greatest! The records she's been shattering are about the individuals greatness. Some of the worst players in sports hold more championships then the goats did because they just happened to be on a great team. Greatest player vs greatest team aren't always the same.

FACTS

@@FreedomFighter2112 SMH get real. A championship ring doesn't define a individual player as great or not.

@@tmorris9330 Try and think of any player in any sport who was considered the greatest player of all-time without having won a title, ring, belt, etc? I'll save you the trouble...there isn't such a person. To be considered the best, you have to lead your team to a title.

It was nothing like watching Larry bird stop it 😂😂😂

Don’t people do that to Embiid though?

@@BluntVille learn how to spell before talking silly🥴

THanxs Thot Itll do that@@AlwaysLM2011

He can he has them.😂😅

awful take

Bruh they didn't even have 3 pointers before 1987. It took years for women to actually use it. She is definitely the most talented female college hooper ever, but to say the game has never changed it stupid.

@@user-xt5mn4fg5g so the concept of putting ball in the hoop has changed? Is that not how you get points? Who cares when the 3 point line came to effect she shoots from the logo only thing about the game that’s has changed is speed and physicality but what does her pure shooting have do with anything? Find a shooter from an earlier era that had her range

@@gualagangsmoke and defensive rules, scoring, foul calls, etc. When basketball was invented there was no dribbling. You have no clue what you are talking about, kid

@@user-xt5mn4fg5g 😂 ok u win 💯

Jealousy and race play into Swoops comments

I was trying to give Swoops the benefit of the doubt on race but after her last comments (black people can't be racists) I will agree with you.@@stever1791

Yep, and good for her.

She WAS a GREAT player in college....on a team that could beat nearly EVERY WNBA team (and maybe the current Pistons). That doesn't diminish her greatness, but championships only tell a small part of the story.

@@louisgallaher3733she also was a 3x player of the year, and 4X Most outstanding player on the teams that you say are loaded with talent

And Stewie was a great player, too! But greatness doesn't have to include championships other than single player sports. Enjoy the greatness of both! That's all I'm saying.

Not all by herself she didn't. Look at who she had on her team and look at what Iowa has now. no comparison. They would be a sub .500 team without her

Why do you say dozens? It's a few hundred man get it right.

she'll change that.

As a guard her height helps her alot. Kelsey Plum is 4 inches shorter than caitlin.

Who cares what her height is? She's still inferior to Clark.

Everybody cares. You think height is a trivial metric in basketball?

@@nathanwilhelm5732 Neither are a Center so their heights are irrelevant. If one were a Center and the other a Guard then it would matter unlike in this case. Both are great, Caitlin is just better.

100% Correct.

Maya Moore was Caitlin Clarks' favorite player she talked about her in interviews. CC is the best point guard I have ever seen. Each generation inspires the next. Who is the GOAT is based on stats for some, championship for other but mostly it's based off of opinion.

Moore wasn't shooting it like Clark, wasn't passing it like Clark and didn't have handles like Clark neither. And especially not in college!

@@wonderlandian8465 I'm from Iowa and currently living here. Caitlin is one of my favorite female basketball players but she didn't win like Maya Moore. I think you should do more homework on Maya Moore before commenting. Moore is the greatest winner in Women's Basketball History. She won a lot in her short career and would still be winning if she hadn't retired ten years earlier than she should have.

Racism??? What are you yapping about? They even mentioned Diana Taurasi.
