People hating on Caitlin is just making me a Caitlin fan. Lol. She got people MAD at her for existing. But hey, people want to see greatness fail. Cause they're failures. Caitlin as a rookie is smashing WNBA records. She's a beast.
1st player in WNBA history to record 50 plus points and 25 plus assists over any two game span. 1st player in WNBA history with 450 pts and 250 assists in 27 games. Of the 5,089 times in the WNBA a double double has been achieved,91.3 % of the time it has been achieved by points and rebounds with it only being accomplished 7.8% of the time by points and assists, meaning what Caitlin achieves is much rarer. And now the record for assists in a year by a rookie, with plenty of games still left to go. Haters may say more mins is causing more pts, but actually being an already fantastic scorer, at assists, steals, etc, is leading to more minutes being given to her. Plus, a failed more minutes theory would not explain why she is at alnost 90% FT from beginning to end, game to game. People gotta accept she is ROTY.
I wish the old races* would give her that love and I wish more black men would stand up for her the way ya'll cape for CC.. I never see Unc n them this passionate about her either
Who this Ninja on that Nag? type of Passionate 😂 😂 We could've told you Unk was bout to show nothing but PASSION when we saw the title and who it was about....he Ride HARD for them lol. He may have black kids from early on but the last few decades bro been SKIING 🎿 ❄ ❄
He’s biased 😂😂😂. Caitlin can taunt the Storm bench but if players react they’re haters. Only Caitlin is allowed to trash talk other players. It’s not jealousy when she do it
The biggest unwritten rule in the WNBA this year is to sh!t on Caitlin Clark every chance you get. The Storm coach made herself, her team and her players look cheap and petty.
"Caitlin Clark needs to realize she's not playing with college girls anymore. She's playing with full-grown professional women now, and it's gonna be a lot harder for her to... um... huh... wait...oh ... never mind." lol.

@@Bluzmn Unfortunately, none of her Iowa teammates were able to play at her level, otherwise Clark would be #1 in all time assists and she would have several NCAA Championship trophies. Larry Bird learned this when he took a no name state school to the finals and lost to Magic Johnson.

This right here. If she was off being some egomaniac about things then i could understand the hate, but all she's done is shrug off the negativity and continued doing her thing and has been surely inspiring more young women to play ball. On top of that she's helping bring eyes to the game and put butts in seats so they have a more fun atmosphere to play in than they used to. She's a net positive for the game, no reason to hate on her for it.

As a white dude....my favorite athletes have always been black. Bo Jackson, MJ, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton,etc. I don't care about color. Caitlin is special
She started out "slow" because of 2 reasons. 1) the WNBA season started less than a month after the NCAA finals (which Clark played in) and during that "month off" she had the draft, media engagements and having to do a move to a new city. 2) Less than 3 weeks to get in synch with a new set of teamates. Next year we will see how an offseason getting in synch with her teamates will show what she really has.

They understand game when they see it.
What's crazy is that she is no where near the first good white player. Stewart is top 3 in the league any way you slice it. I really don't get the hate on CC or the racial component.
UNC creating viral quotes left and right. Remember the time he said Cowboy fans better not say Foot or Ball this year, and the Cowboys team as dead beat dads, because they always make cowboy fans set high expectations and never do shit in the end. LMAO!!!! UNC and Ocho are amazing and hilarious.
I know Nothing about BB, not even a fan, BUT I can see she oozes class and smarts. Her passing sends shivers down my spine, no one passes like her. Not to mention her shooting, dribbling. I wish her the best 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 from England
She won't -- her class is part of why she got such valuable endorsements, which in turn is what's making so many opponents angry. She knows how lucky she is and therefore what a bad look it would be to trash talk players making say 90K when she's making several million each year.
You got that right. Shannon needs to sit closer next time he watches CC in person and listen to what she's saying .CC definitely talks trash to opposing players.
Caitlin Clark is the best thing going in the WNBA. I don't care what color she is,I don't care where she came from. SHE'S THE BEST THING GOING IN THE WNBA TODAY
Why haven’t we heard your take on the Liberty coach sending five players to double-team Angel with just 10 seconds left to break her streak? And why was CC still on the court with the Fever up by 20 points in the final seconds? Let’s keep the game sharp and the commentary even sharper.
Would you all please stop trying to ram the narrative that Reese is bringing eyes to the game the same way Clark is. She is not. We have seen how the Fever sell out arenas at home and away. We have seen how 15 of the16 most viewed games are the ones that have Caitlin in them. The only time Reese brings that attention is when she is playing the Fever. Just stop it.
AR isn’t the player CC is by far…ROTY is CC’s to lose. That being said “eyes on the game” isn’t only about basketball…especially not in the world we live in today…AR is popular as hell also…people watch for her also. People click her stuff on these apps also. Again…CC is the better player, always has been. But AR is popular for more than basketball n in a league that’s trying to build a bigger fan base that matters more than many would like to admit.
Carter protested that the sky is giving Reece way too many minutes while sitting her and Cordozo who are better more effective players so they can prop up Reece with more touches to fake stat pad in spite of the Sky winning who are almost at the bottom of the standings coming off a playoff season and 2 seasons after winning the title
@@chipchiperson679 Yep, that's exactly what they did tonight. It's an agenda so that people can try to argue that Reese should be ROTY and the coach would rather lose and have Angel Reese stat pad to fill this agenda, than to win games. But CC won't even take a shot when the game is basically over to break her scoring record. Or stay in the game to break a double double record with assists (which is WAY harder to get than a rebound double double). Just shows the major difference in the 2. One has class and respect for the game, the other doesn't.
Both CC and Aliyah Boston hit the weight room hard and now they’re imposing their will on the court..it’s going to get ugly soon if they continue this trajectory
I think Mitchell was kinda hesitant at first to get in on plays with them, but over the past few games she has been and it's only made them all look better.
CC is a dawg! What makes her special is she’s a shooter and can pass the ball flawlessly especially down court. I want to call her a Point God but I understand that nickname is taken.
Her passing and court vision is out of this world.. she should be rookie of the year she has made her team 10 times better and they are on pace to make the WNBA playoffs for the first time in 8 years
@@minovictor she's the only one that's got me interested otherwise I couldn't give two shits about women's basketball, or one shit for that matter, I thought I'd use Cheryl reeves words 🇬🇧
@@steveheckle8847 same here. Women’s basketball is incredibly boring. Caitlin’s passing alone is cp3 like, then when she’s shooting well it’s like watching a Chris Paul Steph hybrid
Clark makes everyone around her better. She is an elemental force when they let her run the offense. ROTY on lock down. MVP is up next. No one is bringing more money and attention to the league than her hands down.
You can tell it just by looking at how many views the WNBA game clips get for each team. Fever games will have like 500k+ and just about any other game will have like 5k, lol.
Good analysis, guys. Im old & you people analyzing Caitlin's game has taught me more about basketball than the whole rest of my life. Good job. And Go Caitlin!
The veterans cant seem to understand what "marketable" means, and CC is the definition of "marketable!" Parents bringing their kids to games and watching games on TV dont want their kids seeing women fighting and cheap shotting other players, because that behavior ends up being their behavior amongst other people in society.
Marketability is not in the W’s DNA; It was not in TeamUSA’s either. Reeve wanted super scorers but wound up with double zero Taurasi, an injured Griner, vindictively left out CC, and barely won...by one. And with assaults from Carter, Griner, Taurasi, Diggins, Reese, and a few other inmarketables, shoot, the W is not a good look for standard marketing.
I understand race plays a part in a lot of things in this country, but as a hooper CC is good no matter what race she is. She isn't even that athletic but her skill set is elite.
Larry Bird...she even has her own version of Magic Johnson as an enemy in Angel Reese, only difference is this generation wants to OVER HYPE this girl, and OVER CRITICIZE the sister.
Interesting basketball challenge: Have the Indiana Fever play against a boys high school state championship basketball team to see who wins. If they lose, play against an 8th grade AAU team. If they lose, play against a 7th grade AAU team. It would be fun, interesting, and educational to see what level of basketball a WNBA team is. I think it would bring record ratings because Caitlin Clark is very popular.
That touchdown pass to Kelsey Mitchell was a thing of beauty. Normally I agree with your takes but I can see CC averaging 30 with 10 with a faster team, however it also means less defensive players. I'm curious how the Fever will go next year, they could go Warriors prior to Kerr & slow it down maybe even hurting CC in the process(real reason Mark Jackson doesn't have a job, asking a buck oh 5 soaking wet to post inside...2 bad knees) or lean into Clark like Kerr did. NBA no jump shot shooting team has ever won a title. Just saying the blue print for both outcomes is there. I kind want to see if Chennedy Carter wants to join, A Boston could be a Draymond but with better attitude, she got basketball IQ & passing.
I became a fan of CC when she lost to AR in college. Yup a fan when she lost... Cause i noticed and saw the talent skill and high IQ on the court. The following year, she got better. Seeing her early year "struggles" in the WNBA i was not concerned AT ALL. Cause somethings you cant teach. I knew she would shine soon especially after she had some games under her belt with the change of speed/strength of the game going from college to wnba. Caught fire despite not having a break from college to the W, and still had room to improve with a little rest in this long year. Rookie of the year should not even be a discussion. Any other year and any other season AR is rookie of the year, but not this year. This is a transcendent player. A generational player. A Super Star in the making. Nuff said
She’s a rookie. Give her two more years and she’ll be scoring at will and hitting threes at a much higher percentage then she is right now. Definitely will be a top three player in the league. And if they win enough games the rest of the way honorable mention MVP.
So Skyler Diggins crash into about ten thousand other WNBA women the same way for her entire career and the ONE TIME she bumps into Catlin Clark it's a problem???? Shannon Sharp you ain't fooling no one this guy especially since he was hired by ESPN, has become new Sambo COO boy that they recruited since Stephen A Smith popularity has faded out.
She could have been averaging 30 already, but she doesn’t need to in the W like she did in college. Iowa had zero high school and college all Americans all 4 years.
This is exactly why and how I became a fan. I live in the EU and college ball is not a thing here. But I heard on a podcast that this girl called Caitlin Clark broke the NCAA scoring record. I was like okay bet lemme check her out. So I put her name into YT. I came across a bunch of videos about W players and media ppl hating on her. So I tuned in once the season started to root for the “underdog”. She’s making all of them eat their words and I’m here for it! They were hating on her for looking superhuman against 18 year olds. Now they hate her because she looks superhuman against some grown ass women.
Unc, let it go! Stop dragging with the media...An assist record, really? Were you that excited by the previous holder? Nah, cuz no media hype was attached to her...Clark gives likes she gets...She doesn't need all of the media and fan protection she is given...She is adapting to playing WNBA basketball. If the media and fans stop crying everytime she's faded, she'll live up to the hype that preceded her debut...The sport is becoming more for celebrity than athleticism. Forget the hype, just hoop! Clark is alright, she's a player and she's not going to be fazed by the fading. She'll be a better player under pressure once the fans and media stop crying and do pushups. By the way, how's A'ja doing?..Most Definitely, RMN. 💯
Actually, if you account for ALL of the fumbled passes and easy shots missed...Caitlin really broke this rookie assist record about 10 games ago....let that sink in.
These sports talk guys continue to include Reese in the conversation with Clark. Clark is in a league of her own. She is already a top five player in the WNBA. Reese is nowhere near top 20, or top 25. Clark leads in every statistical category for rookies except for rebounding, and she leads the entire WNBA in the assists as a rookie. The average attendance in the WNBA is 7000 or less. When Clark is on the floor, whether at home or on the road, the average attendance is 17,000+. Reese does one thing, rebound, and oftentimes is rebounding her 2 foot misses. Clark does everything including facilitation, assist, rebound, steals, she’s a 90% free-throw shooter, and her shooting range has no limits. Best of all, she has made her teammates significantly better. There is no discussion when comparing Clark to Reese, we’re pretty much any other player in the WNBA.
This makes sense to me. As a matter of fact, her game's resemblance to Steph is what made me like her in the first place. (I find Steph's game to be the most exciting in the modern nba. So seeing a woman have similarities is exciting to watch)
Maya Moore may have been the best women's hooper I 've ever seen, sad she retired so soon... Candace Parker, Diana Taurasi and May Moore were box office CC is just another in the line of exceptionally great women bb players who is BOX office was the one they chose...
@@VeryOldMerc Kobe was more than exciting. I have him in top 5 ever way above Steph. It's that his game was a reflection of MJ. It works to win games that's why he did it but as a fan I was not as interested. Novelty and evolution interest me. MJ played above the rim. Steph plays from the logo. Caitlin is mimicking Steph and I am all for it.
I'm old enough to remember when Jordan first came into the league. People didn't like the fact that he was already better than most of the OG's. They had it out for him. The Bad Boys did a number on him, everyone still said it was Magic and Bird's league. But eventually, inevitably MJ became MJ. This is how I see Clark right now, in the early MJ stages where everyone is testing her and is jealous of her. She just needs to keep doing what she's doing and prove her greatness and these enemies will turn into fans. Magic talked all kinds of trash about MJ when he first came into the league, nowadays he fanboys about having played with him.
This is exactly why people are tired of these delusional fanatics. You are basically saying she’s Michael Jordan. She continues to be compared to greats. What’s her winning %?
It's refreshing to see someone standing up for her. I have been shocked at how many people are angry that she's so good and they're trying so hard to explain away how good she is.

@@jasonj7755The same Monica McNutts that’s always complaining about the WNBA not getting any recognition, attention or excitement?
@@jasonj7755yall pushing a narrative that’s false
I know Nothing about BB, not even a fan, BUT I can see she oozes class and smarts. Her passing sends shivers down my spine, no one passes like her.
Not to mention her shooting, dribbling.
I wish her the best 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 from England
Well, why you you commenting if you know nothing about BB? She a good player.
@@Jayrome-ls7mwYou can say whatever you want about whatever you want, regardless of your knowledge of the subject. Welcome to the internet
“It can get scary… it gonna get scary” 😂🤣
Shannon has definitely been supportive of Caitlin Clark. He also shows love to a lot of other wnba players and women supporters
I can’t tell this man screaming only for Clark
He is the loudest for Clark. He doesn’t have this much passion for any other players.
Look at Ocho talking about racism.. without saying racism. At least Shannon called it out bluntly.
😂💯
Love Ocho, but he's too much of a space cadet. Doesn't say anything thought provoking or profound
@@solidsnake7167 hey can't get mad at him though he's not trying to start any controversy nothing wrong with that 🤣🤣🤣
So what's happening to Clark is racism? If it's racism then why did Shannon say, "I don't see them doing it to stewy"?
@@tshort202000because she is not good. This is the same as Eminem. A lot of black people camt stand that a white person is better at "your" thing
CC IS HER 😤😤😤😤😤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
CC is legit elite box office
Exposing the racism and entitlement in the wnba may be the best thing for the wnba views
Go Shannon!!! Telling the DAMN truth!!
Can't Wait to go to a game, and have big sign saying, "Let Her Cook!!! - Unc Shay." 💪🏾
She's a good player.
Clark has elite court vision
3:35...nuff said!!😂😂😂😂😂
FACTS💯
The hate on the young girl. Is bringing her more love.
STATS OVER FEELINGS … CC got the numbers 😌
100% agree with Shannon 🙌🙌🙌
Just saw her in person for the first time tonight. She’s the truth and the league is hers to take over next year.
She’s 🚮
Jus kidding
How much were those tickets?
Saw her in la for $70. I never saw one cc jersey in souther California and staples was full of them. She’s the real deal
@@BabySpit Tickets to see her games are 70 bucks?
Until JUJU WATKINS comes to the leauge and then Caitlin will be forgotten about.
Caitlin is doing this with enormous pressure on her...still cooking people with so many wanting her to fail. Even teammates hate in her I'm sure 💯
Clark is total class. Not even responding to the hate. Hope she starts talking some trash after this year or next!
Not her style, she does her talking on the court. Not saying she won't defend herself I just think she's above the trash talk.
Larry Bird style
@@stoveboltlvr3798She’s basically like “Ima let my play and performance do the talking”
She won't -- her class is part of why she got such valuable endorsements, which in turn is what's making so many opponents angry. She knows how lucky she is and therefore what a bad look it would be to trash talk players making say 90K when she's making several million each year.
You must dont watch. She been talking trash since college.
CC dishes it back lol. Yesterday, taurasi was talking shit to CC and she just told her "I dont give a fuck"
and then spanked her team, while breaking a record, lol.
You got that right. Shannon needs to sit closer next time he watches CC in person and listen to what she's saying .CC definitely talks trash to opposing players.
Don't hate the player, Hate the game
Caitlin Clark is the best thing going in the WNBA.
I don't care what color she is,I don't care where she came from.
SHE'S THE BEST THING GOING IN THE WNBA TODAY
Why haven’t we heard your take on the Liberty coach sending five players to double-team Angel with just 10 seconds left to break her streak? And why was CC still on the court with the Fever up by 20 points in the final seconds? Let’s keep the game sharp and the commentary even sharper.
Would you all please stop trying to ram the narrative that Reese is bringing eyes to the game the same way Clark is. She is not. We have seen how the Fever sell out arenas at home and away. We have seen how 15 of the16 most viewed games are the ones that have Caitlin in them. The only time Reese brings that attention is when she is playing the Fever. Just stop it.
Nobody is watching players miss layups every game.
AR isn’t the player CC is by far…ROTY is CC’s to lose.
That being said “eyes on the game” isn’t only about basketball…especially not in the world we live in today…AR is popular as hell also…people watch for her also. People click her stuff on these apps also.
Again…CC is the better player, always has been. But AR is popular for more than basketball n in a league that’s trying to build a bigger fan base that matters more than many would like to admit.
Carter protested that the sky is giving Reece way too many minutes while sitting her and Cordozo who are better more effective players so they can prop up Reece with more touches to fake stat pad in spite of the Sky winning who are almost at the bottom of the standings coming off a playoff season and 2 seasons after winning the title
🙏 amen
@@chipchiperson679 Yep, that's exactly what they did tonight. It's an agenda so that people can try to argue that Reese should be ROTY and the coach would rather lose and have Angel Reese stat pad to fill this agenda, than to win games. But CC won't even take a shot when the game is basically over to break her scoring record. Or stay in the game to break a double double record with assists (which is WAY harder to get than a rebound double double). Just shows the major difference in the 2. One has class and respect for the game, the other doesn't.
Both CC and Aliyah Boston hit the weight room hard and now they’re imposing their will on the court..it’s going to get ugly soon if they continue this trajectory
I think Mitchell was kinda hesitant at first to get in on plays with them, but over the past few games she has been and it's only made them all look better.
Shannon's shirt is a savvy move
CC is a dawg! What makes her special is she’s a shooter and can pass the ball flawlessly especially down court. I want to call her a Point God but I understand that nickname is taken.
Her passing and court vision is out of this world.. she should be rookie of the year she has made her team 10 times better and they are on pace to make the WNBA playoffs for the first time in 8 years
The attention SHE'S getting, there's no THEIR about it, it's CAITLIN alone that's brought eyes to the WNBA 🇬🇧
If Caitlin retires tomorrow all them chartered flights are out the window and WNBA players are gonna go back to playing in empty arenas.
@@minovictor she's the only one that's got me interested otherwise I couldn't give two shits about women's basketball, or one shit for that matter, I thought I'd use Cheryl reeves words 🇬🇧
@@steveheckle8847 same here. Women’s basketball is incredibly boring. Caitlin’s passing alone is cp3 like, then when she’s shooting well it’s like watching a Chris Paul Steph hybrid
Chill. Angel is pretty good.
@@mikemcnamarafilm And there have been pretty good players before. CC is different.
Clark makes everyone around her better. She is an elemental force when they let her run the offense. ROTY on lock down. MVP is up next. No one is bringing more money and attention to the league than her hands down.
You can tell it just by looking at how many views the WNBA game clips get for each team. Fever games will have like 500k+ and just about any other game will have like 5k, lol.
If she retires tomorrow the wnba back in the mud
She doesn’t make AB better. She was Rookie of the year last season. If anything, AB is a real reason why Clark is striving and thriving
Facts.!! Let that girl cook. She is the master chef in this kitchen!
C.C. loves to play basketball.
She plays the game with passion and Kobe's mamba mentality.
Carpe Diem C.C.
Good analysis, guys. Im old & you people analyzing Caitlin's game has taught me more about basketball than the whole rest of my life. Good job. And Go Caitlin!
Ocho acting like a preacher. He say some then take that towel and wipe his sweat 😂
“Lower extremities” 😅. Ocho is the funniest person on RUclips
The veterans cant seem to understand what "marketable" means, and CC is the definition of "marketable!" Parents bringing their kids to games and watching games on TV dont want their kids seeing women fighting and cheap shotting other players, because that behavior ends up being their behavior amongst other people in society.
Marketable is competition. Nobody needs to kiss her az like in college, yall need to stop crying
Lol ain't nobody crying homeboy y'all just be mad cuz she ain't black real shit 💯 own that shit@@kbthegoat824
@@kbthegoat824 BTW, who TF is crying? It you people that are the ones who cant stop crying! Bwahahahahahah bwahahahaha bwahahahahaha!
Marketability is not in the W’s DNA; It was not in TeamUSA’s either. Reeve wanted super scorers but wound up with double zero Taurasi, an injured Griner, vindictively left out CC, and barely won...by one. And with assaults from Carter, Griner, Taurasi, Diggins, Reese, and a few other inmarketables, shoot, the W is not a good look for standard marketing.
What happens if she walks. Goes overseas.
I love Uncs honesty and transparency, truly an anomaly in sports media!
If the other wnba players follow her lead and play hard and act with class on and off the court that will elevate the league the most.
Continued success and prosperity to Ms. Clark...
People hating clark made me a fan no cap
I understand race plays a part in a lot of things in this country, but as a hooper CC is good no matter what race she is. She isn't even that athletic but her skill set is elite.
Larry Bird...she even has her own version of Magic Johnson as an enemy in Angel Reese, only difference is this generation wants to OVER HYPE this girl, and OVER CRITICIZE the sister.
@@SHOOTDASHIDPretty sure ppl overhype Angel Reese too it's not a race issue white ppl love Angel Reese Black ppl love CC
Pretty sure her signature behind the back three takes athleticism to pull off
Not athletic? Have you seen her speed? Have you seen her layups under contact? Get real.
Interesting basketball challenge: Have the Indiana Fever play against a boys high school state championship basketball team to see who wins. If they lose, play against an 8th grade AAU team. If they lose, play against a 7th grade AAU team. It would be fun, interesting, and educational to see what level of basketball a WNBA team is. I think it would bring record ratings because Caitlin Clark is very popular.
Why you always gotta insert Reese. Let’s stop the nonsense man
Because she's breaking records too.
Lmaooo 3:57 like a double edged sword
😂😂😂😂
Love that you guys tell it like it is and give her respect!
Mitchell is like a stick of dynamite.😂😂
That touchdown pass to Kelsey Mitchell was a thing of beauty. Normally I agree with your takes but I can see CC averaging 30 with 10 with a faster team, however it also means less defensive players. I'm curious how the Fever will go next year, they could go Warriors prior to Kerr & slow it down maybe even hurting CC in the process(real reason Mark Jackson doesn't have a job, asking a buck oh 5 soaking wet to post inside...2 bad knees) or lean into Clark like Kerr did. NBA no jump shot shooting team has ever won a title. Just saying the blue print for both outcomes is there. I kind want to see if Chennedy Carter wants to join, A Boston could be a Draymond but with better attitude, she got basketball IQ & passing.
Love Shannon for this whole episode
Love your perspective, Shannon. Wish for your continued success.
If she ain’t playing I ain’t watching no wnba, she must see tv and she the most exciting player in all of basketball right now men and women
She’s not even close to being more exciting than Anthony Edwards Steph hell even still Lebron. Also Aja Wilson is better than her lmao
That part right there.!
@@VvVT734stop it 😂. You a classic Hater.
More exciting than the men's? Yea calm down with that.
Nah Steph in the Olympics was peak basketball.
CC handles these situations better than these other "women" were hoping for. Completely unaffected by their jealous antics
Caitlin is the goat
I became a fan of CC when she lost to AR in college. Yup a fan when she lost... Cause i noticed and saw the talent skill and high IQ on the court. The following year, she got better. Seeing her early year "struggles" in the WNBA i was not concerned AT ALL. Cause somethings you cant teach. I knew she would shine soon especially after she had some games under her belt with the change of speed/strength of the game going from college to wnba. Caught fire despite not having a break from college to the W, and still had room to improve with a little rest in this long year. Rookie of the year should not even be a discussion. Any other year and any other season AR is rookie of the year, but not this year. This is a transcendent player. A generational player. A Super Star in the making. Nuff said
She lost to Jasmine Carson cause she can’t guard nobody 😂
MORE SELL OUTS
Unc stands on facts!! Thank you sir, it’s refreshing..
She’s a rookie. Give her two more years and she’ll be scoring at will and hitting threes at a much higher percentage then she is right now. Definitely will be a top three player in the league. And if they win enough games the rest of the way honorable mention MVP.
So Skyler Diggins crash into about ten thousand other WNBA women the same way for her entire career and the ONE TIME she bumps into Catlin Clark it's a problem???? Shannon Sharp you ain't fooling no one this guy especially since he was hired by ESPN, has become new Sambo COO boy that they recruited since Stephen A Smith popularity has faded out.
Charles Barkley was right to call out all them haters out there 😂
She could have been averaging 30 already, but she doesn’t need to in the W like she did in college. Iowa had zero high school and college all Americans all 4 years.
megan gustafon?
@@KingHampton-ul1iwCC came to Iowa the years after Megan ,boy would have been great if Megan & CC could have played together
This is exactly why and how I became a fan. I live in the EU and college ball is not a thing here. But I heard on a podcast that this girl called Caitlin Clark broke the NCAA scoring record. I was like okay bet lemme check her out. So I put her name into YT. I came across a bunch of videos about W players and media ppl hating on her. So I tuned in once the season started to root for the “underdog”. She’s making all of them eat their words and I’m here for it!
They were hating on her for looking superhuman against 18 year olds. Now they hate her because she looks superhuman against some grown ass women.
Unc, let it go! Stop dragging with the media...An assist record, really? Were you that excited by the previous holder? Nah, cuz no media hype was attached to her...Clark gives likes she gets...She doesn't need all of the media and fan protection she is given...She is adapting to playing WNBA basketball. If the media and fans stop crying everytime she's faded, she'll live up to the hype that preceded her debut...The sport is becoming more for celebrity than athleticism. Forget the hype, just hoop! Clark is alright, she's a player and she's not going to be fazed by the fading. She'll be a better player under pressure once the fans and media stop crying and do pushups. By the way, how's A'ja doing?..Most Definitely, RMN. 💯
Ocho such a follower
Actually, if you account for ALL of the fumbled passes and easy shots missed...Caitlin really broke this rookie assist record about 10 games ago....let that sink in.
100%
By that logic, so did a lot of others, good thing misses don’t count for anything
Lets chill on that. You could say that about most players. Shots are gonna be missed. But cheers to Clark!
Why would you count missed shots and dropped passes? There's no need for exaggeration with Clark.
If you ain't got no haters you ain't poppin!🎵🍻🍺
👍👍👍
The remix with French, Breezy, n Meek Mill do go hard lol 💯
@@blackpow3r I'm still blasting that track haha, blessings man enjoy
Thud reminds me of katt williams stand up "get you some haters"
"ain't no lion breakin' that up" Shannon is awesome....
Unc was feeling good the whole show. I'm mad I didn't watch it live last night
These sports talk guys continue to include Reese in the conversation with Clark. Clark is in a league of her own. She is already a top five player in the WNBA. Reese is nowhere near top 20, or top 25. Clark leads in every statistical category for rookies except for rebounding, and she leads the entire WNBA in the assists as a rookie. The average attendance in the WNBA is 7000 or less. When Clark is on the floor, whether at home or on the road, the average attendance is 17,000+. Reese does one thing, rebound,
and oftentimes is rebounding her 2 foot misses. Clark does everything including facilitation, assist, rebound, steals, she’s a 90% free-throw shooter, and her shooting range has no limits. Best of all, she has made her teammates significantly better. There is no discussion when comparing Clark to Reese, we’re pretty much any other player in the WNBA.
Top 5!! Lol. Maybe Top 10 at best. There's more than 5 players better than her. But to be top 10 as a rookie is an amazing accomplishmemt
At this point in my life this is my rank in terms of wanting to watch a basketball player: 1: MJ 2: Steph 3: Caitlin.
This makes sense to me. As a matter of fact, her game's resemblance to Steph is what made me like her in the first place. (I find Steph's game to be the most exciting in the modern nba. So seeing a woman have similarities is exciting to watch)
Salute to you because I feel like if you love to watch Jordan for some reason you’ll hate on Steph when both are the most exciting bball players ever
@@S-TierIguess Kobe was pretty exciting too.
Maya Moore may have been the best women's hooper I 've ever seen, sad she retired so soon... Candace Parker, Diana Taurasi and May Moore were box office CC is just another in the line of exceptionally great women bb players who is BOX office was the one they chose...
@@VeryOldMerc Kobe was more than exciting. I have him in top 5 ever way above Steph. It's that his game was a reflection of MJ. It works to win games that's why he did it but as a fan I was not as interested. Novelty and evolution interest me. MJ played above the rim. Steph plays from the logo. Caitlin is mimicking Steph and I am all for it.
I'm old enough to remember when Jordan first came into the league. People didn't like the fact that he was already better than most of the OG's. They had it out for him. The Bad Boys did a number on him, everyone still said it was Magic and Bird's league. But eventually, inevitably MJ became MJ. This is how I see Clark right now, in the early MJ stages where everyone is testing her and is jealous of her. She just needs to keep doing what she's doing and prove her greatness and these enemies will turn into fans. Magic talked all kinds of trash about MJ when he first came into the league, nowadays he fanboys about having played with him.
This is exactly why people are tired of these delusional fanatics. You are basically saying she’s Michael Jordan. She continues to be compared to greats. What’s her winning %?
Thanks SHAY tell these fools how special CC is. The CUTLASS reference cuttin ass 🤣🤣🤣👍💯🇺🇸
It's refreshing to see someone standing up for her. I have been shocked at how many people are angry that she's so good and they're trying so hard to explain away how good she is.
we were singing the chant almost 40!years ago “Get your Coat, you brim 😂😂
