Caitlin Clark deserves this award!! Congratulations, Caitlin! Continue to shine!
Congrats to cc for rookie of the year...now she can focus on winning important things
Not really
This was a no brainer and should have unanimous.. but it’s America.. so never be surprised at any completely idiotic opinions
Clark was the ONLY legitimate choice!
ANGEL!!!!!!
@@trhansen3244 Her big thing was rebounding, BUT how many of her rebounds came off of her OWN missed shots? Quite frankly, sportsmanship is foreign to her too!
Thanks for FINALLY announcing this officially. Caitlin Clark deserves it
I thought it was already announced but now maybe I think it was the Associated Press’s award.
CC had 38.3 points generated per game, a new WNBA record and the second place was Taurasi one season with 33.9. Pretty impressive for a rookie.
Watch this video in RUclips - "The Harsh Truth About Caitlin Clark". This shows her record-breaking season as a rookie! It did mention the 38.3 points generated and compared it with both NBA and WNBA players. She is only 2nd to Luca. She leads in the WNBA on points generated. She was compared against other great players like Taurasi, Candace, Cooper, Swoopes, Ionescu. She leads the pack.
It is pretty impressive period.
ESPN cannot talk about Caitlin without mentioning Angel Reese. Amazing!
Lol you mad? They both suck so you gotta put them together....both overated trash on the court...one rebounds own misses and one shots ten threes per game at low percentage with high turnover average...both suck...deal
Cause Angela the truth
@@jricks92921 get a job bro I see u on EVERY single vid thats related to Clark
@whoisalec35 you about to cry?
And vice versa
That 1 vote against Caitlin Clark was CHERYL SWOOPES.
She doesnt have a vote
Swoopes' self-imposed exile from reality is sad to see.
@@Skydreamer223because she's black
Probably Sheryl Reeves
@@mione134 Sheryl poops
Not being unanimous, is disgraceful.
Reese's year compared to Clark's, is Mickey Mouse, or rather Minnie Mouse by comparison. There never was a rookie of the year race. That narrative is an outright joke.
ESPN shares a BIG part of the reason for all this racism BS this season, shame on you.
😂
Comment doesn't even make sense. Mickey and Minnie are a couple duh
ESPN is pretty good at putting their thumb on the scale to create narratives. Reminded me a lot, along with a lot of similar traits, to when Perkins went after Jokic to stop his 3rd consecutive mvp. Lots of overtly racial overtones and trying to prove Joker didn't deserve it. Like Clark, he just balled out instead and showed everyone who was boss. WNBA though is 5 times more petty though, it's crazy.
It was NEVER a long shot.
Congratulations CC
ESPN, with all the records that Caitlin broke, the fans and historical ratings she brought to the league and the adversity she faced, you need to congratulate her on air.
Congratulations from New Zealand 🇳🇿 Caitlin, you're an Inspiration to us all.
It WAS the best rookie season ever
Candace parker
@@jricks92921 put the all the numbers side by side
And also Parker had help from fan votes for mvp
Clark didnt
@@jricks92921 I’m waiting?
Clark is by far the most important offensive piece in WNBA history in her ROOKIE year
I'm a huge fan, and her season is up there with any other W rookie. Off the top, other names that come to mind are Parker, Catchings, Augustus and Cooper (who entered at 34 and the best player in the league), with perhaps Wilson and Stewie just behind.
What makes it even more impressive is that CC did this with a ridiculously tough early schedule, all the pressure in the world, and putting up with a league and structure (including the lousy commish, an incompetent Team USA and various current and ex-players) who seemed to be invested in her failing. And she rose above everything. With fair officiating, she/they might still be playing now in the semis.
@@mattgoldberg4335 exactly all the hate and she still broke so many records, including wnba records not just rookie, turnaround a franchise and in 1 year is already considered the best offensive threat in WNBA history
Congrats to Caitlin on a fantastic season. I haven't watched that much basketball since 1998 Chicago bulls.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dud unit
Congratulations Caitlin Clark!
Way to go ESPN, you misspelled Caitlin in the thumbnail image.
Who’s Cailtin?
THE BEST rookie. Stop playing around.
They know some people can't handle the truth lol. She is the best rookie by far. Not just by the stats they posted, but she has also broken several records as a rookie.
Congratulations CC and God bless you many, many more! Much love and prayers from the Philippines! ❤️❤️🙏🙏🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
❤
CC22 kabayan 🔥👏🎉
The whole world 🌍 is happy for Caitlin Clark being named ROTY💪👍👏
Congratulations from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Lies
@@detroitholman6077ok, not surprised might be more appropriate.
Congrats to Caitlin Clark 100 deserve ROTY🎉🎉South Africa
Lies...you right here in the united states lmao
It's the best rookie season ever. Most points ever by a rookie. Most assists ever by a rookie. Most assists in a game ever by a player, not just rookie. Prior to her there were zero rookie triple doubles, there's 2 now. Contributed to more of a % to her team's points than any woman in the league.
Don't forgot all the records she broke AS a rookie
Records Caitlin Clarke holds in the WNBA
Most Eye Stabbings in a season 1
Most times getting flagrantly fouled that the refs didn't call 57
Most ear drums popped during a season 1
Most eloquent interviews in a season 300
Most times taking the high road after verbal abuse 500
Only reason to watch the WNBA - everytime.
Congrats to Caitlin! I mean, it's nothing to get too upset about, CC won't care, but the whole 67 people will vote differently thing is a horrible deflect tactic. Are we really saying that Angel was closer to Reese than Phee was to A'ja? No way.
Voting due to a racial agenda. Voting rights should be revoked immediately and permanently.
Congratulations CC. Well deserved
The best thing that happened to WNBA
Never a doubt. Caitlin Clark ❤❤❤
If ESPN wasn't so clueless, they should have been creating endless hour-long highlight reels and interviews. Her fans would have rocketed the view counts into the hundred millions in record time generating RUclips revenue. Bears know when the salmon are running and all they have to do is get into the stream and open their mouths. The salmon does all the work.
Seriously, they are all great but putting numbers up against each other, it's Clark without a doubt.
Accurate by Rebecca Lobo on Caitlin's stellar year, "winning Rookie of the year in a dominant fashion." And saying "Angel Reese of course had a terrific season."
Where is Monica McNutt, she is so insightful😂.
She's out
Moat likely wondering why no one else voted for Angel
Well deserved let’s go CC
Quick question on the day the NBA awarded Wemby his rookie of the year did they feel the need to talk about Chet… Or when LeBron won his rookie of the year award did they feel the need to talk about Carmelo… Then why ESPN on this day, do you choose to do it with CC..to do the both CC & Reese we’re important to the viewership this year. You clearly have comically promoted your favorite…but fall back folks are starting to notice the agenda good day sir!😅
We all know who that 1 vote for Reese was 😂🤣😂🤣🤣
*the best rookie ever
Clark is also ratings viagra for ESPN, since the WNBA playoff viewership has sadly dropped since the Fever were eliminated. 🔥🔥🔥
Caitlin stood on business 😤
It was the best rookie season ever period
Let's not forget how the WNBA started private flights because of Caitlin. She did a lot for the game.
this was a given the moment she was drafted! wtg Caitlin!🎉
It takes how long for ESPN to recognize her greatness
66 out of 67 votes. Wow! Let me guess. The one that did not vote for CC voted for Reesie Piecie. That would either be McNutty or Swoopesy.
I think we all know there is 1 ROTY vote will go to AR. that's the same person who gave MVP vote to AR
Lies
@@jricks92921 Why? Let me hear your vast knowledge.
It's the guy from Louisiana, he'll probably lose voting privilege for being a moron
@@2024-o1uhe has no knowledge other than in trolling.
SO BEAUTIFUL, this Fever Team!!! 🙏 - I am one of those people who hadn't watched the WNBA for 20 years, and took a look because of the Caitlin Clark hype. It was great to see how the league has developed, and that it might be on the verge of exciting changes to the styles of play...
But my FAVORITE part of these past couple months has been learning about the women on this Fever team...!!
I think I stayed more for this WHOLE GROUP of kind, thoughtful, amazing women than for the original reason.
As far as whole teams go, it seems like these women have the BEST HEARTS in the WHOLE LEAGUE!
Honestly, none of them would be out of place among the wonderful people I am lucky enough to have as friends and family.
If I could have ONE WISH, it would be that the FEVER organization make the unusual choice to keep this family of women together.
I know it's professional sports... and it's normal for players to get traded around...
But I'd **LOVE** to see this team make an unusual decision, and hold this team together, to see how far THIS GROUP can go, by continuing to build on the trust and camaraderie they've had since the Olympic break (too short!).
It might take 2-3 years, but with GREAT COACHING (maybe an NBA head coach, to help the Fever continue to take the league in new directions), and great individual coaching for each player - so that they can live up to their potential for their roles (not in CC's shadow, but as dominant players in their own rights) - I truly believe this exact group of women could become a league powerhouse... Finals, at least, and a long-lasting force to be reckoned.
In any case, although I don't know these women, I feel I've seen enough to be proud of each of them - to admire them - and to wish them all the best. I just wish they could have more years of growing together...
❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Voters need to be named and held accountable just like NBA voters.
CC future 🐐 if she stays with the WNBA. Happy to see her shine ✨ and make people cry about her success.
She is sitting at HOME just like all the other TEAMS that even didn't make the playoffs. That's how YOU measure success.
@@natureredux1957 success? Is not overnight son. Success is a marathon not a spring. She started sprinting but she learned is a marathon. She is here to stay and here to make people like you cry even more. Stay tune.
@@natureredux1957ROTY is a regular season award 🤡.
Her best record is for the most times anyone ever humiliated ESPN.
Sheryl Swoopes, Cindy Brunson, Monica McNutt & Elle Duncan are probably celebrating right now after seeing that 1 Angel Reese vote 🤣
66 of 67 votes… the jealousy towards this girl is pathetic.. they waited this long to officially announce she won, that one voter will gone down like the 1 hater that voted Nash over Shaq for MVP and prevented him from going down as the 1st official unanimous MVP in history. She should have been unanimous.
Pathetic essay...get a grip
as i remember, that was AI not Nash
Reese didn't have the help she had and still put up good numbers.
Well deserved!
@@MOHAMEDMOHAMED-bx3ji Reese had Cardoso who's the 3rd overall pick this year and Chenedy Carter, one of the most explosive guards in the league? She defo had help lol
@@MOHAMEDMOHAMED-bx3ji How many of Reese's rebounds came off of her OWN missed shots!!!!
No, she had the best rookie season in WNBA history. Period. She should have been the unanimous ROTY pick. The person who voted against her should actually make a case how rebounds are more important than points AND assists, because I've never heard that argument ever made before.
Caitlyn Clark shouldn't accept any ESPN awards. ESPN is a Joke.
The one person needs to be rejected from any future votes
She also made a lot of people realize there is something actually called the "WNBA"
What a stupid question about the 1vote. What is Lobo supposed to say, “Yeah, that one person is a hater!”
It was Swoops 🖕
Unprecedented rookie season! well done CC!
Put some respect on her name, ESPN. We know how some of y'all refuse and refused to give CC her flowers. But thats okay. CC will continue to shut of the noise and do her thing.
So proud of you CC our rookie of the year and our own MVP ♥️
That one person that voted for Reese needs to be named, interviewed, and of course lose any future voting credentials (or their job entirely)
ESPN and Rebecca Lobo are in denial. Amazing! Cannot accept wholeheartedly that Caitlin Clark is the best rookie ever in the history of the WNBA. Rebecca Lobo cannot even honestly admit that Caitlin Clark's record as a rookie is better than hers and every rookie in the WNBA. Caitlin Clark's assist record, for just one example of many, has not been achieved by any rookie in the WNBA. Rebecca Lobo saying that one cannot blame for one voter in the ROTY voted for Angel Reese. How stupid was that! It is not Caitlin Clark's or Angel Reese's game that is the problem with that one vote. It is that voter who OBVIOUSLY, Ms. Lobo, that is the ridiculousness of that vote and a Caitlin Clark HATER.
I thought this was old news. Honestly
biggest duh in 2024 sports....the voter that didn't give her a 1st place vote should be banned
She deserves it. I think the media baits her and Reese.
The WNBA will do everything in its power for Clark to win a championship next year. Without her the viewer ratings are horrible
The wnba jus had their best ratings ever in playoffs without Clark ..and be humble because even with Clark this season the wnba still didn't do good....still a lot of people out there who don't care 😂...be humble
So why didn't she win this year?
They don't care. They only care about their activism. If Clark wins a champ, the team will have to stomp their competition because what they have proven so far is that they don't like (maybe hate) Caitlin and they will favor anyone else as much as possible
no, they won't
@@jricks92921Huh???
WNBA total attendance almost doubled from last season.
The only three WNBA games ever with 20,000 people in the crowd were all Fever games with Caitlin Clark.
The Fever set the WNBA record for all-time tickets sold.
Angel Reese, one pity vote...how embarrassing
Hey at least they didn't try to split the rookie of the Year trophy between CC and Angel Reese. I'm sure they argued about it for months cuz they didn't want to give it to Caitlin but we got the message through that Clark was winner 🏆.
Congratulations to CC and her teammates.
Well deserved! GO Caitlin Clark!
0:25 you know you wanna say Fed around, go ahead and do it.
ESPN must have choked having to say that Clark got ROTY but I’m not surprised that you had to mention Reese 🙄
The Ice Cube reference was smooth!
Espn didn't cover any other rookies so I thought she was the only one
Why would a voter deny Caitlin Clark of a unanimous vote? 😤
One vote shy of unanimous ROTY??!!
The funny thing is that a teammate, Boston, not only won ROTY last year but hers was the one that was unanimous.
Was her rookie season really better than CC?
For sure someone will say it was because it was a better rookie class.
Not being unanimous is actually ridiculous. Just my opinion.
FINALLY, I HOPE THS IS THE ANNOUNCEMENT CLARK FANS HAVE BEEN WAITING ON... CAN WE MOVE ON NOW?
Congrats Catilin!
Rebecca - You know better. Other rookies were voted ROY in a unanimous fashion, but not Caitlin? You refuse to call a spade a spade. Lost respect for your unwillingness to be honest.
Well deserved...
She’s on Fire
Put AJ & CC stat together & CC WINS MVP
MVP is not a stat award
@@wtf.................Apparently it is because it's definitely not based on value to a team.
That wasa no brainer !!! Well done CC
The people rock with her and that’s all she needs. Let’s go 🔝💪🏼
She got her flowers. Screw the haters 😊
Even if reese wasn't injured, Clark would've won
She was the best player in the W period!
Imagine if the Fever would have been in sync from game 1 !
ESPN is a disgrace. They can’t even spell her name right. Who tf is Cailtin??
She absolutely deserves it. Reese is good but second place to Clark. What a class act and it's too bad this award was surrounded by negativity by detractors. I am not surprised at the one vote short, my guess is sports politics. Too bad.
Sid Reese???
But still the most hated played in the WNBA.
It’s the best rookie ever on and off the court .
Would be fascinating to hear the rationale for voting for Reese since the stats arent even close.
We all know why and it's not basketball related.
One of the best rookie seasons? How about THE BEST ROOKIE SEASON EVER !!! Bend the knee, kiss the ring and prop up the delusion.
Missing out on unanimous by 1 vote is wild... and so petty of someone.
Caitlin Clark is the only vote. Rickea Jackson was nowhere close to Rookie of the Year nor was Angel Tap that Backboard Reese. Lobo is loco with that take.
Angel Reese is the Wookiee of the year.
she rocks!
Huh!???? Wasn’t this ALREADY announced?
Indiana need Caitlin like old people need soft shoes 😂
Was it unanimous? Should be if not.
They got it right. No offense, but it was obvious
No one cares CC and the WNBA are jokes anyway plus Clark should've won annoyance of the year actually lol.
We all know why it wasn't unanimous. Another shameful point for the W
Clark should have been unanimous ROTY
Haters haha she will be a 5X MVP
