CC also said something about four point spots. That might be wild, a couple small circles that if you shoot from that spot you get an extra point. That would REALLY spread out the defense, they could not afford to leave that unguarded even for a moment.
@SockAccount2024 I would add Paige, too, but I totally agree if they don't mess up the new labor agreement. It would be fantastic if every team could get good attendance and TV ratings from the excitement over their players.

@@daivigomes2084 Wrong "u fool". She wants/needs the media exposure to keep herself in the spotlight. Also, she needs all the Fever fans from Lexie's on/off court friendship with CC to watch because of Lexie, so she can claim everybody is watching the rose drama bs only because of her.
@ I mean Levxi don’t have that many fans fever fans are currently attacking her on tweeter angel been relevant on social media for a while her podcast is doing well she’s making unrivalled have more eyes 😂 u fool
I played pickup with Lexi and her sister Lacie at a gym here in Spokane when I was like 14 and they were upperclassmen in HS, and man i remember Lexi whooping every single person from passing, scoring, communication. I was in awe. Excited to see her play in Unrivaled especially as a primary ball handler!
If you can't make a layup automatically, then practicing three point shots is a waste of time. Work on your layups from both sides with both hands. Chances are that there are other players that can knock down the long shots at a much higher frequency.
Why is it a waste of time? Why can't she work on both.. In order to get there she has to start somewhere.. She's getting older everyday, at some point it may all gel together or it wont. Say you would like to see her working on finishing around the rim more..
@alexstuart4977 The season will be here before you know it. Her bread and butter is getting rebounds and putting it back in the basket. It looks like stat padding when it takes several attempts to get it in the basket from five feet away. That's why a lot of people don't give her credit for all of the double doubles. She is free to practice three point shots, but other players that consistently make them would be the first , second, and third choices to take the longer shots in games. They generally are smaller players and would get abused under and around the basket.
@@alexstuart4977 OK, maybe not exactly a "waste of time", but her strongest asset on the court is rebounding so she is a hell of a lot more likely to get the ball closer to the hoop since that is where she wants to go anyway. I agree with the OP that being able to reliably make shots with either hand from 5 feet in would be a priority.
One of the people that is over the unviral said the players are going to have to do mostly.Three points shots that's why she is working so hard on them.And they have shown a little of the Rose practicing and Reese was doing layups she is getting it back.Like her college days I'm so proud of her she is putting in the work.
@lisafields9377 I definitely thought her layups and putbacks were much better when she was in college. (But I only saw her play against IOWA) I chalked it up to tougher women to fight for rebounds and putbacks in the WNBA.
A lot of the WNBA Drama came from the talking heads holding the Microphone and it isn't just the obvious one. The WNBA Pregame Crews are a Miserable bunch. They need to do a change in who is reporting their games to people that actually promote the League not have personal agendas
ex players can be good if they forget they were players and commentate on the game. But too many were caught up in bullying CC instigated by former players or coaches pushing their team and personal agendas. It was tiresome and did nothing for WNBA. By season's end, CC embarrassed those haters who were not only proved wrong but showed them to be bullies and maintained her dignity.
*As a lifelong NBA dude* I absolutely Love CC and the W thanks to CC BUT the problem with the W is it’s wayyyy to short of a season. We need to see more of Clark. I heard they were extending the season and it needs to happen asap because the W is in such a great place rn for them to really create a long term buzz and hype and you don’t wanna choke that opportunity 💯 simply put I miss CC playing 😅 I’m bitter sweet in terms of feeling about her not joining Unrivaled because I just want to see her play already… ugh 😂
I agree with Caitlin, The players are trying very hard I'm a grizzlies fan and I know those guys give it up every night!! And I would love to see Caitlin have a four-point shot in the WNBA that would be awesome!!!!!!
For me, creating a 4-point line is not a good idea. It's right up their with lowering the rim. Let's celebrate the logo-3s with awe and praise, not extra points.
The New Heights Caitlin Clark video was,in my opinion the best sports interview I've ever watched. I was almost asleep when it popped up in my feed,I figured since I liked Caitlin,I'd watch five or ten minutes and fall asleep...over an hour later I was feeling good,like I'd just hung out with a few great people having an entertaining conversation,and I was only sad because it seemed to end too soon. Check it out if you haven't already.
Sorry Rachel, the first time we disagree. The talent level is not higher... There may be an argument that the shooting skills are higher, on average, however - 1. This only applies to the average. The top shooters of the past 4 decades are on par with those of today. 2. The top 10 to 25% of players from the last 4 decades would generally beat the top 10 to 25% of players today. 3. The players of the past, excepting the bottom 25%, had better passing, lane running, defending, and understanding of the rules of the game. 4. The biggest difference (between now and the past) is the Bigs. The top 10 to 25% of bigs, from the past 5 decades, would decimate this league. This is very much why we see so much dominance from Joker and Wemby who, good as they are, are by no means up to the level of past great centers. In simple terms, it is easy for a big to dominate a league that offers no paint defense. Further to this. It is easy to drive the lane (and skyrocket shooting percentages) when there is no strong paint defense. 5. Rules of the game. If the players of today had to play by the fundamental rules of the game - not charging, not traveling/carrying, not flopping, etc. they would be steamrolled by players of other eras... because today's players have become so depending on breakign the rules. Watch players now, they come up the court not just with their hand on the side of the ball, but all the way underneath (watch Luka, Ball, or 100 others). Of course if a player can carry the ball at will they can make more extreme lateral movements. This is not ballhandling, in the sense of being within the rules of the game. Add to this that defense has been handcuffed and the lightest touch fouls are met with a stunt flop and 50 whistles per game. I'm not sure why people entertain this narrative. Look at the playoff teams of past decades. Imagine what would happen to the top teams of this era going up against those teams.
There were a very small amount of people who actually said something about Lexi’s comments. Most of the chatter was the disbelief people were saying this 😂
I’m not a fan of AR as a basket baller but I did love the photos she did for Vogue ❤️ I hope she learns from that photo shoot that less skin = more class …
Good coverage thanks and I agree given praise of one person’s game is by no means throwing shade on anyone else especially Caitlin. She would run thru fire for Caitlin and visa versa. It’s possible to respect other players grow up hater’s.
Always loving your channel and videos been following you even before 2k which loved you on there glad can still watch you on those videos on RUclips very good comments on angel 😇 she needs to ignore haters just do best for you Angel can make more money off court it's very sad wnba players underpaid nba players average way more God bless you Rachel thank you for being nice person always
Thanks for the Angel coverage, she got caught up in the game. Think the W was a bit severe on a lifetime ban. You are great at filtering out all of the noise. You are my go to for real information. Truly in a league of your own.
@@robertheath1429 Robby, don’t post, it shows people that you are one of the new, no nothing CC fans who don’t know anything about basketball. If you comment again I will give you a lifetime ban like the one Angel got. 🤣😂🤣😂😆😅😄🤣😆🥲😘
The Unrivaled ladies should be having fun.. they are in Miami and they are going to make very good money playing a sport they love. They don’t have to get a passport and play in a country a half a globe away. Don’t care for the Kelcie’s so I didn’t watch the CC interview. Lexie cost Caitlin numerous assists through the season on blown layups so she so work on catching those boring normal passes. 😂
Lool, she still has to be able to knock down 2 or 3 a game.. She's going to get teamed in the post so she has to be able to make a couple of those. I think she's just trying not to be one dimensional
@@alexstuart4977 Angel's not going to get triple teamed in the post because the other team only has 3 players. I like Angel, but she needs to learn to kick out to the open wo{man}.
Maybe it's just a style difference in the video's shot selection (they're not showing everything) or maybe a difference in the development coach's style, but I don't see the show and tell from the coach that we see in the Caitlin video. He's just throwing her the ball, and appears to just be giving her some verbal cheerleading. There might be some instructional advice being said, but imo that doesn't have as much impact as the "I demonstrate, now you try thing" We see with Caitlin's coach. And then him breaking down how she did, after she tries.
You know even in that practice CC is influencing what Angel does. She thinks that 3pts are the only thing that separates her from CC. What she should be practicing is layups and very close scoring. After all most of her rebounds are from her own misses. She needs to do a thousand a day looking at the basket, looking away from the basket. She needs to be so in tune with where she is that she can shoot from anywhere inside the paint. As of right now i dont trust her at all. I feel bad for Lexi to have to be on a team of Caitlin haters. Both of them have flagrant fouls against CC.
bro you guys need help. Not every little thing has to do with CC. Angel is working on improving her game and focused on playing unrivaled. She known for a while that she is going to after to improve her offensive game and it was part of the reason she went number #7 in the draft. But she has very high ceiling if she manages to get offensive game going. And angel practices damn near every fucking day she just doesn't post that shit on social media. This hate you guys have need to stop because its getting old and pathetic.
Dude read this comment you just typed, im starting to think there is a CC cult out there.. This is insane.. Its easy to see how you all are so easily trained to sit and roll over.. I can understand liking someone but this comment is way over the creepy line.. Lool.. I bet you have a caitlin shrine.. Don't lie..
I know in that interview with Shaq she said the thing that everybody likes about her is her three-point shooting..... Obviously she doesn't see the basketball IQ n the passing ability that also makes her fun to watch
Angel lives in your mind rent free. 1/2 the time I don't know what I'm thinking. I don't presume to know what another person I have never met is thinking. Especially if you're mad at them based on an action in a game almost 2 years ago. Try singing that Frozen song "Let it go"
You know, Madison Keys just won her 1st major and is from the Quad Cities, about an hour from Iowa City, so you have a lot of CC fans who are Keys fans. You should have an episode or interview with Keys!
Though I appreciate you truly giving Angel grace, at times, as you spoke but I honestly she was pressured in high school to be the best, then college & now the WNBA…I think she was doing the “lives”, posts, etc because she’s damaged AND Lexie was being a PROFESSIONAL! So stupid!
No one is comparing them. She's talking about both and highlighting what they have been up to lately.. They are two separate people living their lives to suit them.. She's reporting on both of them in a positive light and all you got out of it is why compare them? I know you're old, its in your nature to be miserable but come on. Take a step back and just appreciate the effort Rachel is making with these videos
Angel Reese has 5 million IG followers. Clark has 3 million last i checked 5 > 3 a very very simple off the court comparison where Reese is greater then Clark using extremely basic math
@@jakelich1324 CC made over $11 million last year. Reportedly, Reese made around $2 million. Last I checked 11>2 A very very simple off the court comparison where C. Clark has proven more brand value and marketability than Reese using extremely basic math.
@@mikewiseman-pb7vx you must not have read the orginial statement then. here it is again. "AR is nothing compared to CC22 on & off the court" so the keyword here is nothing. that would mean i could not find 1 single example where reese is greater. i just listed one so his statement is factually incorrect
Nothing wrong with giving your teammate flowers 💐 just never Caitlin’s trying to stir up trouble!! I still remember Chelsey untying her shoe so Caitlin could regroup!! ❤❤❤
Reese receiving negative comments about that revealing dress was hardly her only perceived sexualized photo. I’m pretty sure it had more to do with the appearance of hypocrisy when considering her own comments about being sexualized.
Regarding Lexie... is not everyone is just the toxic ones. Best thing to do is ignore them or got the kthwr way an put them to shame. And I'm a big fan of CC22
Where is the Linx owner calling Reece out and saying the league should be in Vogue? It smacks of racism. What’s good for CC should be good for Reece. Both deserved their publicity
Angel deleted her IG to start a buzz bc she knew that she was about to drop her vogue cover. Marketing at its finest. Love Reese. Reese is a great bb player. I have been watching Reese and her little brother who be drafted also since st Francis. Reese is for the culture and I’m so happy that little girls are seeing her tap into every avenue of interest. As boys we’re taught to be all that we want to be but women have to put themselves in a box. Good job, Angel.
Why you so worried about Reese. You clowns say she's irrelevant. Her 15 minutes of fame are over. No one should pay any attention to her. Yet you guys are watching videos full of lies about her 24/7 and making slanderous statements. Sounds like Reese is very relevant to you, since you can't stop talking about her.
They should not be mentioned in the same sentence. One is Caitlin who is an MVP basketball player, Angel just loves attention. Posting half naked pictures and posting a joke of a workout. The truth is she is a very mediocre basketball player, and she knows it, shooting 11% from 5 feet to 9 feet out from under the basket. Her fame will fade next season when her name is not attached to Caitlin.
Are you just a clown or a low IQ person who believes everything you're told. Angel has worked at least as hard as Caitlin including being in the gym twice a day this offseason. You just assume anyone who is black is ghetto and stupid. Maybe you should think about what kind of person you are judging people you don't know.
Big YES for me. I want women’s ball now and not just watch endless reruns of how great CC is. That is starting to fade for me. Reese and Lexie….. that is my main focus for now for pure entertainment. If I stumble on some other teams I will watch. Big YES! 🎉
Watching Reese from Maryland on, I would say a little bit the opposite about her shot speed, but only in the post. Her speed in rebounding is unmatched, but it seems like she stays in that mode when shooting off the rebound and rushes, missing shots she's way too tall and strong to miss.
9:33 WTF with it's a "full court league". It's 70ft and bespoke to Unraveled. They call it a "compressed full court". Experts getting this wrong is really annoying. Disinformation causing emotional damage. This fact is on their web home page - "Unrivaled will feature a brand new style of 3v3 basketball. The games will be played on a compressed full-court (70X50 feet)." The court size was also given as a reason for using an empty building in Miami to create the unique court. Why describe it as something that it is not? Are reporters that uninformed or are they being told to mis-sell it?
Neither of them are good shooters....They both have terrible field goal percentages... They both use to shoot over 50 percent in college and now they both shoot low 40's and Reese is the worst at 39 percent..
@@bipolarpunt5721 That is in college you moron....We are talking about the WNBA... She is a terrible shooter in the WNBA and Angel Reese is the worst... They both were good shooter is college at over 50 percent...Now they barely at 40 percent in the WNBA
Angel should be working on improving her post moves and maybe midrange shots. Use her height and athleticism to her advantage. Once she maximizes those skills, then she could add the 3 point shot to her arsenal. She does need to fine tune her technique/mechanics as it’s not as smooth and natural as it should be.
She said she’s transitioning back to her natural position, the position she played before LSU put her at Center, she said she doesn’t want to be stuck in the post, remember she’s only 165lbs at 6’3, so I think she knows what she’s doing.
Reese should be focusing on post moves and inside game. Why she wasting time on outside shooting is kinda crazy. This young generation male and female wants to be shooters even if that’s not your role.
Caitlin made over 11 million last year, most of it in off season activities and endorsements.. # 13 in the world for female professional athletes according to Forbes. I wouldn't call that fact being "rather lazy"
So far there has been nothing significant about Angel Reese in the off-season. And I highly doubt there will be anything significant about Angel Reese come opening season...except for the Fever's 1st game. In fact, anything that has to do with Angel Reese doesn't interest me one bit...Even if she learned how to speak properly.
Lool im sure she'll call you and ask why when she reads the comment because she genuinely gives a f about what you do with your time. 😂😂😂😂 just watch what you want no one gives a fcuk bro 😂😂 just you..
I couldn't disagree with you more about Angel Reese finding her own lane. She's all over the place with her constant attention seeking, awful shooting, dressing provocatively and then complaining on the comments about her be sexualized. It's just boring.
And she tricked you to comment, just to make more money for her, she is playing all you CC fans like a Fiddle, and they fall for it everytime. Angel is playing Chess, while y’all are wetting your diapers. Angel is too smart for these new fans.
You were smart to put the Kelsey Brothers new heights program first, because I stopped watching beyond that point. I love Sexy Lexi, but not even she could make me watch any part of the Angel Reese portions of the program. And not even Lexi can make me watch her playing with Reese in Unrivaled.
Angel has more CC fans than Caitlin does, they comment about Angel 24/7, no wonder she is becoming the most famous woman’s basketball player of all time. Go Angel!
@Chitownarmyvet of course you don't want to talk about the actual basketball skills. It's the cc fans fault. She cannot shoot or make a layup. Your right she is famous but not for her basketball skills.
@ Yea, as a rookie, setting rebound records and dominating the AllStar game against the best of the best was such a slow start. Angel needs to do better!
@@Chitownarmyvet I hope she gets paid on all these clicks of haters posting about her. She should be the richest female athlete very soon if that is true.
You are wrong to celebrate Angel Reese after her performance last season. A fashion icon she is not. A decent human being she is not. Pretending otherwise is delusional. We all saw the WNBA on display, and even its silence now. NBA players and most sports media undestand the impact of CC22 on basketball. No one talks about AR. Now this puff piece?
An unbiased human being you are not. Someone who treats others with fairness you are not. You talk about Reese 24/7. Maybe get another hobby. This woman is lapping you at the game of life at age 22. Spend more time worrying about yourself.
Nobody post a highlight reel of post moves be serious and shes shooting more because thats what the new coach is trying to implement (and 3v3) into the offense to help free up the middle for Cardoso but that dont mean Angel will live out there. A lot of time last season Angel would hang on the perimeter but if she can be even a minor threat defender wont be no keen to sag off leaving Cardoso more space.
More talk more drama, less talk less drama but they can make that drama less toxic and be responsible to what they are saying. Think first before they talk to avoid unnecessary issues.
I watched the AR Ka and Lexie interview and AR and Ka were definitely pissed that Lexie was getting all the Qs. Lexie’s answers were honest and the so called Internet backlash was typical of the anti Fever jealousy. Won’t be watching Unrivaled and definitely not AR.
What interview did you watch? 😂😂😂 take the yt glasses off and watch it again.. Was nothing but positive vibes, trust the less questions they got the better they felt.. Got up too quick when it was over.😂😂 this is what you call reaching.. Next time just say you don't like Angel, atleast it would be true.. 😂😂😂
Yea, as a rookie, setting rebound records and dominating the AllStar game against the best of the best was such a slow start. Angel needs to do better!
@@Chitownarmyvet Angel Reese, had the most missed layups in the WNBA during the 2024 season. She also holds the record for the most missed shots in a single season from under 5 feet. Yea she needs to do better. Don't believe me? Google, "who in the WNBA had the most missed layups. "
If people understood why she said she was being sexualized would make sense.. Everyone on the other sides understands why she said that.. She said someone made nudes of her and they were circulated she didn't know until a family member told her.. Since then she's never mentioned anything about being sexualized unless it referenced that moment.. So the issue is people dont listen..
SO MUCH DEVESTATION & DIVISION MISINFORMATION AND CONFUSION GOING ON IN THE UNITED STATES CONFUSION GOING IN THE AVERAGE FAMILY'S LIFE THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN KEEPING WITH CAITLIN CLARK'S OFF SRASON. I FEEL SHE'S GETTING SWALLOWED UP BECAUSE OF WORLD ISSUES. WILL SHE EVEN STILL BE AT HER CEILING BY THE TIME THAT W.N.B.A SEASON STARTS BACK UP???
I think your take on Lexi was spot on - nothing wrong with lifting up a new teammate!
Real basketball fans knew what Lexie was doing, trolls started the ridiculousness.
It was nice to see CC just be a fun person.
@@lawbinson I just hope we have a good season….
love your content and the perspective you bring to the table. big fan of your work
CC also said something about four point spots. That might be wild, a couple small circles that if you shoot from that spot you get an extra point. That would REALLY spread out the defense, they could not afford to leave that unguarded even for a moment.
Dumb...
Flau'jae, Olivia, Juju, Hannah coming in the Dub IMO, is going to be so good for the league.
And Paige!
Olivia going to the Sparks takes that team from lame to flame immediately!😮

So happy to see you and get your take & breakdown on bball🙂. Really appreciate that you touched on all the things…always look forward to it👍🏽
4 point line is a bad idea. Extending the 3 point line further would be better
Rachel Ages backwards she looks better at 35 then she did when she was25
Thanks for the Angel coverage, she got caught up in the game. Think the W was a bit severe on a lifetime ban.
You are great at filtering out all of the noise. You are my go to for real information. Truly in a league of your own.
Are u seriously believing that Angel was banned? You do know that was a lie for clicks.
@@sbrewt21Thank u these people want those click bait video's to be real.Because they hate Angel Reese.
I know you not dum enough to believe that Angel was banned from the W. 😂😂😂 y’all so easily lead!
@@BarrbieandtheBeastt That's because they want to believe every bad thing said about her.Because of there hate for her.
@@robertheath1429 Robby, don’t post, it shows people that you are one of the new, no nothing CC fans who don’t know anything about basketball. If you comment again I will give you a lifetime ban like the one Angel got. 🤣😂🤣😂😆😅😄🤣😆🥲😘
The Unrivaled ladies should be having fun.. they are in Miami and they are going to make very good money playing a sport they love. They don’t have to get a passport and play in a country a half a globe away. Don’t care for the Kelcie’s so I didn’t watch the CC interview. Lexie cost Caitlin numerous assists through the season on blown layups so she so work on catching those boring normal passes. 😂
Vogue has 2 covers, one with Angel and another with Gabby Thomas
As an old timer like Jason (a lot older than him actually), the weird floors are annoying, not gonna lie.
Angel corner shot? That's a long rebound to try to get. She will have to give up rebounding.
Lool, she still has to be able to knock down 2 or 3 a game.. She's going to get teamed in the post so she has to be able to make a couple of those. I think she's just trying not to be one dimensional
@@alexstuart4977 Angel's not going to get triple teamed in the post because the other team only has 3 players. I like Angel, but she needs to learn to kick out to the open wo{man}.
People act like ciaitlin Clark the only one that can pass the ball smh
i hope the new league does go very well for everyone.
Maybe it's just a style difference in the video's shot selection (they're not showing everything) or maybe a difference in the development coach's style, but I don't see the show and tell from the coach that we see in the Caitlin video. He's just throwing her the ball, and appears to just be giving her some verbal cheerleading. There might be some instructional advice being said, but imo that doesn't have as much impact as the "I demonstrate, now you try thing" We see with Caitlin's coach. And then him breaking down how she did, after she tries.
Angel will always put the name on the back of her jersey first, the name on the front Last!
You know even in that practice CC is influencing what Angel does. She thinks that 3pts are the only thing that separates her from CC. What she should be practicing is layups and very close scoring. After all most of her rebounds are from her own misses. She needs to do a thousand a day looking at the basket, looking away from the basket. She needs to be so in tune with where she is that she can shoot from anywhere inside the paint. As of right now i dont trust her at all.
I feel bad for Lexi to have to be on a team of Caitlin haters. Both of them have flagrant fouls against CC.
bro you guys need help. Not every little thing has to do with CC. Angel is working on improving her game and focused on playing unrivaled. She known for a while that she is going to after to improve her offensive game and it was part of the reason she went number #7 in the draft. But she has very high ceiling if she manages to get offensive game going. And angel practices damn near every fucking day she just doesn't post that shit on social media. This hate you guys have need to stop because its getting old and pathetic.
Agree. Those who are real fans of the game will agree with you!! Great comment!@@alittlejordan
Dude read this comment you just typed, im starting to think there is a CC cult out there.. This is insane.. Its easy to see how you all are so easily trained to sit and roll over.. I can understand liking someone but this comment is way over the creepy line.. Lool.. I bet you have a caitlin shrine.. Don't lie..
I know in that interview with Shaq she said the thing that everybody likes about her is her three-point shooting..... Obviously she doesn't see the basketball IQ n the passing ability that also makes her fun to watch
Angel lives in your mind rent free. 1/2 the time I don't know what I'm thinking. I don't presume to know what another person I have never met is thinking. Especially if you're mad at them based on an action in a game almost 2 years ago. Try singing that Frozen song "Let it go"
Great video Rachel, just what the NBA needs... more scoring...
Caitlin Clark is inspiring
To melanin deprived people.
Why would I watch 3on 3 when I don't even watch 5on5 unless cc is playing.
Yeah, what ever will they do without you?
@@alexstuart4977 We'll be fine. Bye Felicia.
What percent of Reese,s rebounds were on her own missed shots?
You know, Madison Keys just won her 1st major and is from the Quad Cities, about an hour from Iowa City, so you have a lot of CC fans who are Keys fans. You should have an episode or interview with Keys!
Wait, a different mic?
I'll watch Unrivaled. For sure!
Though I appreciate you truly giving Angel grace, at times, as you spoke but I honestly she was pressured in high school to be the best, then college & now the WNBA…I think she was doing the “lives”, posts, etc because she’s damaged AND Lexie was being a PROFESSIONAL! So stupid!
They got to get rid of fingernails on the court period.
❤ We.are.all crazy ,our own kinda crazy 😂❤
As.for trades and signings, you are on top of it like a champ 🏆.
Thank you for your content ❤
AR is nothing compared to CC22 on & off the court
No one is comparing them. She's talking about both and highlighting what they have been up to lately.. They are two separate people living their lives to suit them.. She's reporting on both of them in a positive light and all you got out of it is why compare them? I know you're old, its in your nature to be miserable but come on. Take a step back and just appreciate the effort Rachel is making with these videos
Angel Reese has 5 million IG followers. Clark has 3 million
last i checked 5 > 3
a very very simple off the court comparison where Reese is greater then Clark using extremely basic math
@@jakelich1324 CC made over $11 million last year. Reportedly, Reese made around $2 million.
Last I checked 11>2
A very very simple off the court comparison where C. Clark has proven more brand value and marketability than Reese using extremely basic math.
@@mikewiseman-pb7vx you must not have read the orginial statement then.
here it is again.
"AR is nothing compared to CC22 on & off the court"
so the keyword here is nothing. that would mean i could not find 1 single example where reese is greater.
i just listed one so his statement is factually incorrect
Unrivaled is a great way to get the know the players and that will transfer over to the W.
Absolutely agreed. Internet people - calm down
And I’m a huge fan of Caitlin too
People went nuts over Lexie's comments about Chelsea Gray. Whats your opinion on that?
Nothing Burger!! She was paying her current teammate a compliment!!
Why did people go nuts over those comments? They were entirely reasonable.
Nothing wrong with giving your teammate flowers 💐 just never Caitlin’s trying to stir up trouble!! I still remember Chelsey untying her shoe so Caitlin could regroup!! ❤❤❤
@@thedirtygot9570 That wasn't Gray tying the shoe, it was Jackie Young.
I hate whatever she's talking about... But I can't stop watching her talking about it.
It's like Caitlin Derangement Syndrome. Lexie compliments a team mate and they somehow involve CC? Lot of non sensical drama.
So, Rachel, you don't believe CC has a brand or market value equal to Reese?
Reese receiving negative comments about that revealing dress was hardly her only perceived sexualized photo. I’m pretty sure it had more to do with the appearance of hypocrisy when considering her own comments about being sexualized.
Regarding Lexie... is not everyone is just the toxic ones. Best thing to do is ignore them or got the kthwr way an put them to shame.
And I'm a big fan of CC22
Where is the Linx owner calling Reece out and saying the league should be in Vogue? It smacks of racism. What’s good for CC should be good for Reece. Both deserved their publicity
It was the Washington Mystics co-owner who said that.
Angel is the biggest star no debate 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 she about to lift all the women in the league up 🎉🎉
Obviously you have never watched any basketball in your life 🎉
agree with Phee Collier--WNBA officiating is a joke, it harms the games, and needs to have an overhaul...this is true in the NFL as well.
chelsea is the best passer in the wnba though thats just facts
Angel deleted her IG to start a buzz bc she knew that she was about to drop her vogue cover. Marketing at its finest. Love Reese. Reese is a great bb player. I have been watching Reese and her little brother who be drafted also since st Francis. Reese is for the culture and I’m so happy that little girls are seeing her tap into every avenue of interest. As boys we’re taught to be all that we want to be but women have to put themselves in a box. Good job, Angel.
Dressing partly nude is showing youg girls it is ok to expose your self.
lol
Stop giving Angel Reese relevance you can’t put her in the same category as C.C
Why you so worried about Reese. You clowns say she's irrelevant. Her 15 minutes of fame are over. No one should pay any attention to her. Yet you guys are watching videos full of lies about her 24/7 and making slanderous statements. Sounds like Reese is very relevant to you, since you can't stop talking about her.
They should not be mentioned in the same sentence. One is Caitlin who is an MVP basketball player, Angel just loves attention. Posting half naked pictures and posting a joke of a workout. The truth is she is a very mediocre basketball player, and she knows it, shooting 11% from 5 feet to 9 feet out from under the basket. Her fame will fade next season when her name is not attached to Caitlin.
Are you just a clown or a low IQ person who believes everything you're told. Angel has worked at least as hard as Caitlin including being in the gym twice a day this offseason. You just assume anyone who is black is ghetto and stupid. Maybe you should think about what kind of person you are judging people you don't know.
Big YES for me. I want women’s ball now and not just watch endless reruns of how great CC is. That is starting to fade for me.
Reese and Lexie….. that is my main focus for now for pure entertainment. If I stumble on some other teams I will watch.
Big YES! 🎉
Watching Reese from Maryland on, I would say a little bit the opposite about her shot speed, but only in the post. Her speed in rebounding is unmatched, but it seems like she stays in that mode when shooting off the rebound and rushes, missing shots she's way too tall and strong to miss.
9:33 WTF with it's a "full court league". It's 70ft and bespoke to Unraveled. They call it a "compressed full court". Experts getting this wrong is really annoying. Disinformation causing emotional damage. This fact is on their web home page - "Unrivaled will feature a brand new style of 3v3 basketball. The games will be played on a compressed full-court (70X50 feet)." The court size was also given as a reason for using an empty building in Miami to create the unique court. Why describe it as something that it is not? Are reporters that uninformed or are they being told to mis-sell it?
Reese is the worst shooter in the W and CC is one of the best. What do they have in common?
Neither of them are good shooters....They both have terrible field goal percentages... They both use to shoot over 50 percent in college and now they both shoot low 40's and Reese is the worst at 39 percent..
There are 100+ players out there.. What do any of them have in common..
@@ITOROUWEMIKPE wtf are you smoking, CC is the highest scorer in history.
@@bipolarpunt5721 That is in college you moron....We are talking about the WNBA... She is a terrible shooter in the WNBA and Angel Reese is the worst... They both were good shooter is college at over 50 percent...Now they barely at 40 percent in the WNBA
🔥
Bring back hand checking
Angel should be working on improving her post moves and maybe midrange shots. Use her height and athleticism to her advantage. Once she maximizes those skills, then she could add the 3 point shot to her arsenal. She does need to fine tune her technique/mechanics as it’s not as smooth and natural as it should be.
She said she’s transitioning back to her natural position, the position she played before LSU put her at Center, she said she doesn’t want to be stuck in the post, remember she’s only 165lbs at 6’3, so I think she knows what she’s doing.
Reese should be focusing on post moves and inside game. Why she wasting time on outside shooting is kinda crazy. This young generation male and female wants to be shooters even if that’s not your role.
Reese off season activities honestly make Clark look rather lazy.
Caitlin made over 11 million last year, most of it in off season activities and endorsements.. # 13 in the world for female professional athletes according to Forbes. I wouldn't call that fact being "rather lazy"
Not a clarke fan but i don't think clarke is as active on social as reese however i don't think she's lazy.. Lazy and clarke doesn't go together.
So far there has been nothing significant about Angel Reese in the off-season.
And I highly doubt there will be anything significant about Angel Reese come opening season...except for the Fever's 1st game.
In fact, anything that has to do with Angel Reese doesn't interest me one bit...Even if she learned how to speak properly.
😆😆🎯🎯🎯
What specifically is wrong with the way she speaks?
Lool im sure she'll call you and ask why when she reads the comment because she genuinely gives a f about what you do with your time. 😂😂😂😂 just watch what you want no one gives a fcuk bro 😂😂 just you..
After the video, I'm still waiting for the WNBA off-season updates!😅
I couldn't disagree with you more about Angel Reese finding her own lane. She's all over the place with her constant attention seeking, awful shooting, dressing provocatively and then complaining on the comments about her be sexualized. It's just boring.
And she tricked you to comment, just to make more money for her, she is playing all you CC fans like a Fiddle, and they fall for it everytime. Angel is playing Chess, while y’all are wetting your diapers. Angel is too smart for these new fans.
In your face😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Chitownarmyvet Angel couldn't play checkers on a grade-school level. It's also Rachel's channel, not Angels.
You were smart to put the Kelsey Brothers new heights program first, because I stopped watching beyond that point. I love Sexy Lexi, but not even she could make me watch any part of the Angel Reese portions of the program. And not even Lexi can make me watch her playing with Reese in Unrivaled.
Rachel we all know why she is not posting post moves.
Angel has more CC fans than Caitlin does, they comment about Angel 24/7, no wonder she is becoming the most famous woman’s basketball player of all time. Go Angel!
@Chitownarmyvet of course you don't want to talk about the actual basketball skills. It's the cc fans fault. She cannot shoot or make a layup. Your right she is famous but not for her basketball skills.
@ Yea, as a rookie, setting rebound records and dominating the AllStar game against the best of the best was such a slow start. Angel needs to do better!
@@Chitownarmyvet if you rebound your own missed shots you can set rebounding records. Stat padding at it's finest.
@@Chitownarmyvet I hope she gets paid on all these clicks of haters posting about her. She should be the richest female athlete very soon if that is true.
You are wrong to celebrate Angel Reese after her performance last season. A fashion icon she is not. A decent human being she is not. Pretending otherwise is delusional. We all saw the WNBA on display, and even its silence now. NBA players and most sports media undestand the impact of CC22 on basketball. No one talks about AR. Now this puff piece?
An unbiased human being you are not. Someone who treats others with fairness you are not. You talk about Reese 24/7. Maybe get another hobby. This woman is lapping you at the game of life at age 22. Spend more time worrying about yourself.
Nobody post a highlight reel of post moves be serious and shes shooting more because thats what the new coach is trying to implement (and 3v3) into the offense to help free up the middle for Cardoso but that dont mean Angel will live out there. A lot of time last season Angel would hang on the perimeter but if she can be even a minor threat defender wont be no keen to sag off leaving Cardoso more space.
Good morning rachel, did you see Caitlin clark was out at grand canyon university the other day. She had some speaking engagement
Reese is just not interesting I'm sorry.
Lots of talk about Unrivaled, but nobody ever talks about Hoopfest. It happens every summer and in the same city that Lexi Hull is from.
Nothing wrong with Lexie's praise of Chelsea. Caitlin is a great overall sports fan, so much so I was wondering if she rehearsed.
More talk more drama, less talk less drama but they can make that drama less toxic and be responsible to what they are saying. Think first before they talk to avoid unnecessary issues.
I watched the AR Ka and Lexie interview and AR and Ka were definitely pissed that Lexie was getting all the Qs. Lexie’s answers were honest and the so called Internet backlash was typical of the anti Fever jealousy. Won’t be watching Unrivaled and definitely not AR.
What interview did you watch? 😂😂😂 take the yt glasses off and watch it again.. Was nothing but positive vibes, trust the less questions they got the better they felt.. Got up too quick when it was over.😂😂 this is what you call reaching.. Next time just say you don't like Angel, atleast it would be true.. 😂😂😂
@@alexstuart4977 Don't wear glasses, but can spot BS at a 1,000 paces.
Them talking about NBA ratings when they got the WNBA ratings to worry about is funny
When they get a tech 6 minutes on the bench.
I disagree, Angel is not an elite basketball player.... at all. On the other fashion is where she should concentrate.
CC doing a podcast with the Kelcie brothers was a flop, she doesn’t have the charisma like Angel.
Angel Reese will never be the player she
was proclaimed to be.
@@oldman66liveSo is that why she has won 2 Championships? Which she was the leader and captain of the teams both times.
Over 2 million views proves you're wrong.
Angel better get that bag while she can. Because if her game doesn't improve, her rookie deal will be the end of her BB career.
Yea, as a rookie, setting rebound records and dominating the AllStar game against the best of the best was such a slow start. Angel needs to do better!
@@Chitownarmyvet Angel Reese, had the most missed layups in the WNBA during the 2024 season. She also holds the record for the most missed shots in a single season from under 5 feet. Yea she needs to do better. Don't believe me? Google, "who in the WNBA had the most missed layups. "
@@ChitownarmyvetBe real bro she needs an offensive bag. CC skill level is way ahead of hers on offense.
NBA needs skills not 3 point shots 😂❤
Everyone at NBA trying to score a 3. Thats why ratings are down. And its all Steph Currys fault 😂😂😂😂😂
The backlash was solely because of her complaints of being sexualized. Had she not complained, no one would care how much skin she showed
If people understood why she said she was being sexualized would make sense.. Everyone on the other sides understands why she said that.. She said someone made nudes of her and they were circulated she didn't know until a family member told her.. Since then she's never mentioned anything about being sexualized unless it referenced that moment.. So the issue is people dont listen..
SO MUCH DEVESTATION & DIVISION MISINFORMATION AND CONFUSION GOING ON IN THE UNITED STATES CONFUSION GOING IN THE AVERAGE FAMILY'S LIFE THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN KEEPING WITH CAITLIN CLARK'S OFF SRASON. I FEEL SHE'S GETTING SWALLOWED UP BECAUSE OF WORLD ISSUES. WILL SHE EVEN STILL BE AT HER CEILING BY THE TIME THAT W.N.B.A SEASON STARTS BACK UP???
Is it wrong of me to still dislike Angel immensely.
They straight up bullied and abused CC.
Could care less about the NBA.Only time I watched it,was when Jordan,Bird,and Magic were playing.
