The WNBA Learning Curve WILL BE STEEP For Caitlin Clark 

and that math ant even right and 2 weeks of training camp is crazy ik at least 25 to 26 could have made the team if they had more time

That says a lot because the product is still complete shit

@@josiahbrown5590 It is protectionism for older players. There are too many friendships in this league preventing it from improving.

They don’t have many teams & only 12 spots. Plus the vets that don’t avg much minutes. Pretty sure some rooks could've took their spots but they probably been on the team 2-3 yrs. Like Sydney for the aces. She’s likable & team fav but I know Alexis morris or d henny better than her.

@@_PatrickO1000 % correct

I don't think you know how women are wired

U most not kno too many women none of them can take constructive criticism but they all can give it

You have to take accountability of your deficiencies first before you can receive constructive criticism. Good luck getting them to do that😂

Key word woman

Have you ever told a woman to lose a few pounds to improve things?

There are only 12 teams … genius

​@@Queenofpentacles1bro... the league would age out of relevance...cutting half of new players drafted after a month is bs

@@Queenofpentacles1yeah and their league hasn’t ever generated positive revenue ever, genius

Not enough teams u can’t keep everyone

@@colinedwards4959that’s becuz the season starts right after

Exactly

Right now it seems like a team chemistry thing like they’re talking , not that she can’t handle the pace and physicality

Yea she can get better with the turnovers but they only had 2 weeks of training camp so they haven’t had time to gel together

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses 🤣

How is she doing

FACTZ. NO DEFENSE. NOT STRONG AT ALL. THOSE 30FT. SUPERSTAR PASSES SHE DID IN COLLEGE WILL TAKE TIME TO FURMENT. HER HANDLES IN THE WNBA IS AVERAGE NOW CAUSE THESE THESE WOMEN ARE FASTER QUICKER STRONGER. IT'S A LEARNING LESSON. BUT DON'T DESTROY HER CONFIDENCE OR THE LEAGUE WILL BE BACK TO BEING IRRELEVANT AND UNWATCHED.

Facts man! You're dealing with yt people who don't know how to handle people who share their same skin tone, having great success in places where the opposite skin tone dominates... They crown and hand over flowers when the work has just begun 🙃... She's one of many elite pro players at their position... She's just the only one that gets full support between the yt and black community... We don't have a problem with supporting good to great players no matter the race, they do! Her complexion is the difference, and it's extremely obvious!

Yeah… they did lmao just be quiet bro.

She’s been disrespecting Caitlin Clark for no reason and Rashad has had enough of it

She's just better than them

She reaching with that one

Even men are amazed by Lebron 😂😂 The NBA is young young, but there’s a grandpa balling and keeping up.

Ty Ty Ty I got dumbified when she had the audacity to say this. Thought not many noticed this. I hardly like women on these sport shows n podcasts. It’s not a good look esp when their takes make these other dudes look like geniuses. See they keep having a different women on the show that don’t last for a reason. Maybe there is but haven’t seen a all women successful sports podcast. They should strive for that too.

😂😂

THANK YOU

People forget Swoops is one if the real goats of the wnba

@@MrOburgess because nobody was watching then unfortunately and they’re trying to change that now with this new class!

Facts imagine how disrespectful it is to the players putting up real numbers. There's atleast 15 players better then cc. It's the media crowning her. Remember jimmer fredette and dough McDermott great college players nba they couldn't make it

@@user-ml6yu9tp6t I agree. I’d say CC at present is a top 25 player in the league. I do think she is getting better every game though.

Never fails bro

The jealousy is crazy that’s fucked up

Men are like that also. Remember when Lebron's teammates hated on him as a rookie? Most are jealous because they don't get the hype as other players.

@@rayj1013 women do it way more.

Bill Burr did tell you what theyre about.

It’s disappointing that you didn’t bother to watch the video. She said nothing bad about Clarke in this video at all.

@@christianrapper5but she has in the past. And you keep spamming the comments so you should already know that

@@christianrapper5she’s a hater. U can tell lol. What Rashad was saying was pissing her off 😂

Are y'all gonna come back and say everything Miss Swoopes said was correct and give her her props? Or is she still just hating?

She’s not hating she’s just telling the truth and it proved to be right In game 1

2 weeks is just enough time to figure out which "team" each girl is playing for. If it ain't rainbow then she gots to go.

@@coltononline that’s false if the nba did it this way there wouldn’t be a league at all. Need time to develop

It is for the ones who aren’t generational athletes

It is

it is a different ball game just because no one knows these girls don't mean they suck just like CC don't suck but she's not about to play like she did in college right of the back and anyone who thinks that is nuts lol

​@@Obstakill Caitlin isn't a generational athlete. She's skilled but her athleticism is average at best.

It actually competitive than most people thinks

The WNBA women aren’t going to realize this until it’s too late. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Yall want the league to not compete n let her score n get off?? Man GTFOH 😂😂😂🚮🤦🏾‍♂️

She is and I hope she balls. But they can't keep making the same mistake of letting outsiders set unrealistic expectations for her that then causes people to tune out if she doesn't reach them immediately. The truth is she is going to be playing stiffer competition with a completely new team without a real break since October, let's give her time.

So wtf are they supposed to let her shine and cook them? Lol hell no them same Women tryna take that shine from her to get on themselves. What are yall talking about ? And she was RIGHT. Caitlyn did struggle with the physicality she ain't hating she speaking facts.

EXACTLY

The college game is not more exciting than the women's pro game. The fact is, the women's college game is not being compared to the women's pro game and the women's pro game is being compared to the NBA. Women rarely dunk in college. Caitlyn Clark doesn't dunk. But a main complaint of the women's game is they do not dunk. Again, they rarely dunk in college either. And the pros are better, faster and more skilled. The pro women are being compared to rpo men and no one is comparing women college players to UCONN, Duke, Kentucky, Texas, or Ohio State men players. No one compared Clark to Duke's Fillipowski.

@@olzt100 doesn’t matter what’s logical or not fans will tune into what’s entertaining. Obvisoulsy the W hasn’t figure that out cause no one watches this except for .00001% of the population and they’re about to change the channel

I think gets more views because we under stand the college teams. The rivalries and the storylines. The W is a very young league and a lot of the teams that were integral to the start were wiped out by the recession, so the storylines and the rivalries are not as prominent. That's why the need for player marketing is there and we hope for CC to bring some of her magic dust with her. But a lot of people have this impression that the league isn't hard which then devalues the same college stars they were cheering for a couple weeks ago, when they struggle. What Sheryl and anyone that has played in the W, and even gil, is trying to say is that transition is very real and you don't have a lot of time to make it

@@TaiyouArt The problem is not with the WNBA but with US Culture. Sad to say, but the US has three hidden gems that affect society, racism, misogyny and pedophilia. It's all hidden until certain things come out. The pay disparity highlighted the misogyny in US women's sport. It's just the US because some women players go overseas and make four times what they make in the WNBA. But the reality is Clark is watched. But how is she going to change anything just because more people are watching? There are already players in the league much better than her. Because more people are watching will not affect her skill or the skill of other players. The losers of the hype will be people expecting college and high school to be the same as the WNBA. If Clark was this once in a generation talent wouldn't she be on Team USA? None of the professionals that choose the world's most dominant women's team are believing the hype. And what will hurt the women's game is the reality that she is good and has room to grow and not a top five player right out the gate. She is not a top 20 women's player in the world at this time. Her reality is that she is likely the second or third best player on the team now. Last year she was the best player on her team. It's a new level and new ball game, regardless of media and fan appeal.

Bruh colleges have their own fan base and that’s been going on for decades

Social media rules 101. Black people are only allowed to cricitize other Black people. If they break that rule, they will be constantly called a hater or racist.

But she was right about Clark struggling tonight

She had a double double.... 20 and 10.. 10 turnovers

Why are you writing essays. Swoopes said she wouldn't dominate immediately and she won't but will adjust.

@@anegril1 If you think what I wrote was an essay, that speaks volumes regarding your education and level of intelligence. Now move along.

Back when lebron came in the league everyone was clowning on him already anointing himself "king". No end of speculation on Carmelo having a better career. Hell LeBron's teammates actively fought against him a lot in that first season (no surprise given what they said just before the draft the previous season). Current players / old heads never want to get excited about drafted players. Esp if they're anointed to be the next big thing. TBH Wemby is probably the first time I've seen a player anointed as the next big thing and immediately get respect around the league.

@@kaylee42900took the words right out of my mouth

Because they don't want to build a successful league they just want the money of a successful league handed to them by the men. That's unfortunately how many women are.

lol after last nights game. You can see Diana wasn’t hating she was being real.

@@tristanhuff706 Taurasi happy to 'keep it real' and have nobody care about the WNBA. Talk about not getting it, all eyes on your league and you take that chance to shoot holes in the person who's bringing the eyes. Say less and keep it positive. Smh, the short sightedness is crazy.

Yeah because when Jordan was scoring 35 ppg they were winning! N. No that’s a stupid take. You don’t win but just letting a player score. You have a talent in Boston as well. Tf she gonna just stand around and watch cc?

Well Sheryl Swoopes is one of the best female ballers ever. She's more than qualified to judge CC.

She is definitely what's bringing America to this Wnba season for the moment . But her game isn't elite unless she shows it . Her arsenal is not even top 10 if measured against a current Wnba star . This ain't Iowa where she has to shoot 30 shots a game .

Thia is why they won't succeed. Their cutting the future to hold on to dead weight lmao

Don't think she was being spiteful, her honest opinion and based on tonight's results, she was spot on. 20 points on very inefficient shooting, 3 assists, and 10 turnovers.

It has nothing to do with gender it has to do with race. Same way they hating on Jokic.

You said swoopes dk what she talking about when it come to the WNBA?? How crazy that sound

She won't shoot better than 42 % from the field . Guaranteed . She won't average more than 14 a game . Guaranteed . She'll have a couple Iowa type performances, but only a couple . Guaranteed .

Did u watch last night? 😆😆😆

I hope you stay until she adjusts, which probably won’t be until next season

Wow I commented before I watched . Swoopes instantly rode Reese jock. And Gil made the valid point that CC needs time to adjust. Point proven

​​@@benbackpack9922I want to see angel reese' and all the other rookies play their first game this year as I have a feeling the veterans aren't going to go as hard on the rest of them as they will on Caitlin Clark. I could be wrong but I don't think I am. Seriously, from watching the Indiana Fever vs the Connecticut Suns the other day, it felt like the suns were treating that game like a championship game honestly. I may not know as much as about basketball as any of the people in the video obviously, but I can tell the difference when players are playing for a title vs playing a regular game in the season or a meaningless exhibition game. Unless you're Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan, most players don't play with the type of championship caliber urgency the way the Connecticut suns did the other day against the Indiana Fever, especially when you consider the fact that the fever aren't one of the top teams in the league. Unless you want to tell me that everyone on the suns have a Michael Jordan mentality of even taking meaningless exhibition games serious, I think they were trying to send a message to Caitlin and the world it seems. That's why I want to see the first game of all the rookies in the wnba or at least some others besides Caitlin because I want to see if my theory is correct or not.

@@thewolfofwallstreet627 that’s an extremely valid point . Connecticut will never play defense like that again lol. They just wanted to be the ones to make a statement for all the hype surrounding CC

@benbackpack9922 exactly. Plus, notice how all the Wnba veterans are quick to praise angel reese and the other rookies. Meanwhile, with Caitlin, it's backhanded compliments, it seems. Again I doubt seriously the suns would play like that against anyone during the regular season, especially, against a team they know isn't on their level because they wouldn't want to risk injuries playing too hard against a team they know they can beat unless they were trying to send a message. The New York Liberty didn't seem as physical, but they still played that Indiana road game like it was a playoff game. Honestly, I'm worried about this destroying caitlins confidence because I know she's better than how she's been playing recently. Her teammates aren't helping her get open shots by not setting screens or getting open themselves while dropping passes directly to them. It's ridiculous. It makes me wonder if she has two face teammates that are trying to sabotage her, or her coach is that incompetent to prepare her team for this.

Angel Reese is the only reason I watch women’s basketball. Ever.

Who??

@@chrisglover9700probably Clark

I would give your mother a facial

I dont think that they are jealous of CC the player... They may be jealous of the money opportunity of CC... Just like the 2003 lbj is jealous of the money opportunity of the 2023 lbj has...

NIL DEALS HAS CHANGE THE GAME 4EVER..

No they arent...it's already showing...she's not ever going make 40-50 points in the WNBA ...the first game she played she had to go on a ventilator...it's 10 times faster ...now eventually she'll get better but it takes time

Pre season not regular season

Pre-Season lol

I know in Vegas we we’re doing just fine

Your white

But they had on nice outfits....

Until the WNBA develops a"G- League" type, they give the ladies a tryout. There are just not enough teams or spots for them right now. So go un drafted or get a tryout 🤷‍♂️

It's on the league to expand (soundly so you avoid teams disappearing). The NCAAW has about the same amount of teams producing players as the NCAAM, so only the peak .0001% or so gonna make it. Another avenue is establish smart partnerships with Euro leagues.

She definitely is a hater probably her biggest hater you know how many times Magic LeBron and other great players that's had 10 turnovers in a game smdh swoops has told lies about CC to discredit her so she's disqualified to even speak on CC now

It was a very inefficient 20 points with 10 tos but she’ll be fine. As Gil said, they have no time adjust to the pro game.

She literally has been playing good and is currently playing good right now in the opener. She joined and the WNBA already added more privatized flights. All the WNBA players who are active esp younger love her. Her teammates love her. She already is close to the starting point guard of whom she will be taking her spot. Funny how that works. But yes these hating ass older WNBA players are totally not hating.
