Sheryl Swoopes ruined her own legacy. Saying all kinds of ignorant lies about Caitlyn Clark. And A’ja constantly complaining about racism being why she isn’t popular. Jealousy and envy ruined their legacy.
When these women get better attitudes more people will tune in! I’m tired of hearing them say how great they are when all they do Is complain constantly.
@@davidvallejo8671 I watched it and Aja got her way. That’s great but it’s a false narrative because Page B is still in college and has a shoe. This entire league is messed up. We’ll see what happens after this Time magazine catches up to everyone. What a mess.
3:05 - "(A'ja Wilson's)...hard work and accomplishments have made her a household name..." Da fuga?! In whose house? Not my house. Never heard her name or knew who she was until I started watching Caitlin Clark. LOL!
Another skank poser. Yeah, A'ja has a lot of points, but so does CC, plus 63 records set by the old WNBA women that she broke. I still maintain that lifting the Fever from bottom-of-the-barrel and into playoff contention, along with record-breaking attendance at home and away, plus TV viewership skyrocketing thru the roof, should have been the criteria for MVP. I think maybe A'ja had been determined to be the ultimate winner of that at the beginning of the season. In other words, like tRump is fond of saying, 'it was rigged'. These kinds of things happen when you have an incompetent and ignorant commissioner of the WNBA. She should be fired and replaced with someone possessing a better skill set.
they both remind me of how racist & stupid & untalented the entire wnba has been & continues to be. Biden has more brains then the entire wnba let alone wilson or reese.
Unfortunately charm school won't help her at all. Aja came from privilege and wealthy upbringing in South Carolina, while CC came from a hard working ethic and modest upbringing. You can't teach genuineness and natural respectfulness. CC is the classiest person in the WNBA.
@@JoeSchmo-u1d well if you watch the WNBA and don’t know A’Ja Wilson won MVP in 2020, 2022 AND 2024 …… yes I can assume you never watched BEFORE Caitlyn Clark entered the league. Unless you’re an Ostrich of course.
@@Maurice181that’s a fair assessment, however all the people here saying they didn’t know A’Ja Wilson before CC just tells me they are new fans. Nothing wrong with new fans, never said there was…
wnba just lost a chance to be relevant. I hope they understand their loss of what was a miniscule fan scape at best, is their own raciest fault. Ref's included. I hope Clark enjoys Europe and gets the respect she deserves. She is a great player and more important a good Human. Players like Swoopes, Reese and many others including the refs look like raciest haters, cheating fools.
No one cares about Aja. This is her third MVP and only because CC was in the league did any discussion happen. Never heard of her before. Certainly not going to watch her play.
Wilson was GIVEN the MVP BEFORE!!! the season started. and the first 8 loses by the Fever relaxed them . then CC started to click and the hatred started. just look at the time line.
When you have to to tell everyone you the one of value, YOUR NOT! A'ja Wilson was not a household name. Out side is the small fan base the WBNA had before Caitlin came along no one had heard of her and many are still wondering who she is. A'ja action make her look like a small petty jealous little girl.
What an absolute cheek! Aja Wilson slinging her crap that she is supposed to be "privileged" for being 3 x MVP! However, in the Immortal Words of Michael Jordan to both Larry Bird and Magic Johnson: "There is a NEW Sheriff in Town!" Aja was/is good but against Caitlin Clark she pales dismally in comparison
Clark would have been the leagues MVP if it was the fans choice. The publics choice. They could be selling CC merchandise like crazy if they knew what they were doing.
If “woke” Nike would release a Caitlin Clark and A”ja Wilson shoe at the same time, the answer to this question would be obvious. Clark’s shoe would sell out immediately while Wilson’s would remain on the shelves.
A'ja Wilson has every right to speak highly of her own accomplishments-after all, self-confidence is important, and who doesn't value self-appreciation? However, when she resorts to belittling others in an attempt to elevate herself, it reflects a lack of maturity and poor sportsmanship. True excellence doesn’t come at the expense of someone else’s dignity.
It never ceases to amaze me that every video every sports clip etc. has to over analyze the significance of Clark. Clark isn't overshadowing on purpose, she is good and has brought excitement to the game. It is only egos, personalities, and skewd ideology in our backwards times.
A'ja, ever the racist that she is, should understand that she will never be able to compete with Clark in the merch sale game. Simple facts will tell A'ja that her market is 13% of all basketball fans while has a market of 52% of basketball fans.
Some of these other players could be worth a lot more if they were not hateful drama queens. A big part of CCs value is that she is kind and that she acts professional.

Trust me as fans attend and participate , they will learn if the greats especially while the new and current players edify the VETERANS...
Aja was filmed having drinks with a known troll of CC. Right after they met a vile post was made about Cc from him or them or they or she ??? 😢 sad CC makes it about basketball and they want to make it about vitriol racist remarks. They’re too stupid to realize if CC leaves the league. There goes all their money. 💰 #nonikeforccnonikeforme
Tell attitude has everything you do in live - 1 check yours Kindness should be on your no.2 - list 3 - cheering on other good fortune is good idea - Okay 4 - no hateful actions 5 - praise God in all things because he's watching your every move - Okay
The teams and leagues are always looking for outstanding players, with team skills and class, they know exactly what they are doing. That's why Caitlin Clark was picked out of the WNBA over all the other players not just over two or three players. Race has nothing to do with it, It's was where someone ( Caitlin) at this time is more valuable to someone else than the others.
Wilson's ego is over the roof, she's a good player I give it to her but she can't draw and bring in new fans and viewers, being the best doesn't mean you have it all, drawing fans and viewers need the charm, charisma, talent and most of all attitude. You only have talent, no charm, no charisma and most of all your attitude is garbage. You tend to point fingers when you did not meet your expectation, accusing someone of having white privilege when in reality you have all the privilege, Nike opted to promote you first, you question Adidas for offering CC a better deal. You are in a league dominated by jealous and hateful individuals who feel threatened by a talented player who is dominating even the veterans and seasoned players.
It doesn’t appear that the former or present are as skilled at marketing and media savvy as CC, who’s timely entrance as a pro and having grown up in the media generation has the advantage of knowing how to market her brand. The wnba is in the same position and needs a new administration for it to succeed. I’m an American living in England and I am looking forward to watching CC become a global brand. 3 cheers to CC 👌
Adidas low balled her. Under Armour brought Steph Curry in to make their pitch, but Clark still go to Nike because of their past relationships (and I bet all those Kobe shoes played a role in her decision to sign with Nike too)
Simply not true. Her conversation caught on a hot mike with Kelsey Plum as she talks about "White Privilege" being the reason Plum is there and also incoming UCONN player Paige Bueckers. There's so MANY instances of CONVERSATIONS with Aja where she opens here mouth about others who have used there Privilege to get in the league, but she has worked so hard without any recognition. All the while, as a child she attended Private schools from grades 1-12? Actually, having a father that played in the NBA and provided for her until graduation from college, one has to assume why she doesn't understand "her Privilege?"Some people will bathe in the cesspool of "victimhood" finally awakening one day to see the trail of victims they have created because of their insensitivity and arrogant entitlement.?
You guys are the missing the point. A'ja has a high school championship, a college championship, 2 gold medals and 2 professional championships. She has also been WNBA MVP 3 times, has the highest average score of any player in WNBA history and the most points in a season. She is only the 2nd player in the league's 25 year history to be the Unanimous MVP. She literally put the University of South Carolina on the map for Women's Basketball. She is the only college player I know to have her own statue at college, plus, they are retiring her college jersey next year. This is not all of her awards. She is only 28.. not 35.. in her prime. Look up her Nike commercial she has in the Team USA jersey, it shows all of her awards. This is what she means when she says she is the prize. I too started watching the WNBA because of CC and Angel Reese. I discovered A'ja and Stewie. A'ja is a beast for her team like Stewie. It took CC a minute to find her footing in the WNBA - no knock on her. A'ja may not be as flashy as CC but she has awards to back up her talent. I found that I like a lot of different players because of CC and Angel Reese. There's room to like more than one player in the WNBA.. The NBA players trash talk as well.. Hello Antony Edwards. That dude thinks he is better Jordan.. which is crap. He is just cocky and confident. Ladies can be the same as well. A'ja is like Tim Duncan... she has mastered the basics and it's not always flashy but she is consistent and has been one of the best players in the last 3 to 4 years along with Stewie. Guys, CC is a great player and she is going to get better. You can also like more than one player.. NY, Seattle, Vegas, Connecticut, Minnesota were all really good this past year. Indiana found it's footing after the Olympics. They are young with a lot of upside.. Let's just appreciate the talent whoever that is for you. I am grateful for CC bringing my attention to all the great talent in the WNBA. Looking forward to CC next year.
The problem with the WNBA is that none of them realise Caitlin is their ticket to earning more money in the long run, so instead of playing this “we think we deserve everything that she’s getting” I’m surprised she hasn’t had some players latch onto her aura or try to be buddy buddy with her yet
Caitlin Clark is the biggest superstar ever in the WNBA...I knew a few players in the WNBA but no one ever had an impact like Caitlin Clark did in the history of female basketball....
Nike did something similar to Stephen Curry. What's marketable is skill, grace, humility, and love for the game. CC just love to play ball, and it shows!
Aja is great player, but literally ruined her reputation as having any class with her outbursts regarding jealousy and racism over CC! It’s been so ridiculous! Now they are saying they are worrying about giving such a reward to a rookie vs a seasoned MVP! Whoever can make you the money is who you cater to, that’s got CC written all over it!
So CC gets $3.5 /yr(peanuts for a superstar) and Nike shelves her sneaker that would make them $100’s of millions, yet they would rather pander to their DEI absurdities and put out a black girl’s shoe instead of a white girl’s. Oh look how righteous they are. Now explain that to your Nike stock holders, who should file a class action lawsuit suit against you for holding back Nike’s profits for the sake of wokism while their stock crashes.
For those that are ignorant, Caitlin Clark was never the Problem! Her racist fans and supporters were always the problem. To Caitlin's credit her approach was always about being a competitor through her trash talk and game play never being racist. However her fans praised her trash talk and approach to the game, but when Angel Reese did the same they treated her differently and made it blatantly racial with their comments. I think for all the ladies in the WNBA some of them are pissed because they've been playing this sport for many years at a high level and never got the recognition that's being given to Caitlin. It's almost like any other workers who have been on a Job for years helping a company to stay afloat without even a pat on the back, and one person comes in for 2 days does one good thing and now their getting all this praise. I think most of us would be pissed even if the praise was warranted. Caitlin gets probably a little misplaced hate and animosity because of the fans who show the other players no respect!!! Unfortunately someday they'll turn on Caitlin when the next Superstar comes along and is better than her. Great example is Rhonda Rousey who was praised when she was on the Top and Unbeaten, but after one loss they started to turn on her.
A'ja Wilson is a has been, if the WNBA has overlooked her and seen her as a joke, then there is a reason why the WNBA has overlooked A'ja Wilson. Just like Angel Reese, I mean if any of you seen her other vids and saw how she dressed. I don't think parents want their daughters to grow up like that.
The WNBA needs to get on top of these negative comments about their players. It certainly creates interest and thats shown by audince figures and media attention but there will be deadline on that stuff and fans will get sick of it .
I'm sure there are a lotta people out here and there like me, who came to know about those WNBA Players Only After Caitlyn Clark joined the League.🙌🏼 Caitlyn Clark🙌🏼 She's Da Dawg🙌🏼 She the Queen🙌🏼
The fact that they left Caitlin off the Olympic team says all you need to know about the poison in women’s basketball. It’s no wonder no one watched this prison yard league for 30 years.
I think that NIKE knows that once the CC22 shoes are out the other ones will not do good numbers. If the CC22 shoues would come out first, the Aja and others shoes will sell waaaaaayy less.
I'm a 24 year old Caribbean woman and i don't watch or get hooked up on sports but i like watching clips on youtube and what I've seen SO FAR is a alot about CC. And only see alot of highlights about her. CC is well known and what ive seen alot more humble and has better spotsmanshio than that A'ja woman. So if i was a big time brand company, I would choose CC not only for her exxcellent performance but because of her popularity and humbleness and business wise that would help my company with sales
Of course it’s overshadowing the previous players and legacy Cheryl and Aja who? The new players always do that. They are young, vibrant, and relevant. Caitlin Clark is awesome and doesn’t talk smack. She truly is an all around great player and happy that Adidas endorsed Caitlin. I only paid attention tonENBA because of Caitlin. No one else matters to me.
Aja Wilson, no one knows you. You are a legend in your own mind. Just like many of your teammates. Angel Reese is another example, she thinks she should be noticed. Reese is average at best. The black players think they should be recognized and given huge raises. Yet they could not on their own, make enough money to sustain the WNBA. 30 years of failure, 30 years having the NBA paying the way. Not one player could put butts in the seats. Then came along one player who was marketable, who had the “It” factor. One player who could have influence so that many players could earn a good living. That player was Caitlin Clark. She was white, straight and great. All the black lesbians were outraged, they could not handle the fact that a white player was the one.
I did not know who A'ja Wilson was before Caitlin Clark arrived in the WNBA.
A angry person of color
Yep. You, me and about 350 million other Americans!
I didn't know there was a WNBA before Caitlyn Clark, go figure.
I agree with you.. Wilson was no one!!
That says a lot about you...

Trust me as fans attend and participate , they will learn if the greats especially while the new and current players edify the VETERANS...
Nike = Breach of contract?
11:45 The real question is if the wnba can still survive on welfare if adam silver is replaced as a commissioner.
WNBA - BUD LIGHT - Look out here it comes. Corporations are so dumb with short memories.
Aja was filmed having drinks with a known troll of CC. Right after they met a vile post was made about Cc from him or them or they or she ??? 😢 sad CC makes it about basketball and they want to make it about vitriol racist remarks. They’re too stupid to realize if CC leaves the league. There goes all their money. 💰 #nonikeforccnonikeforme

The teams and leagues are always looking for outstanding players, with team skills and class, they know exactly what they are doing. That's why Caitlin Clark was picked out of the WNBA over all the other players not just over two or three players. Race has nothing to do with it, It's was where someone ( Caitlin) at this time is more valuable to someone else than the others.
Wilson's ego is over the roof, she's a good player I give it to her but she can't draw and bring in new fans and viewers, being the best doesn't mean you have it all, drawing fans and viewers need the charm, charisma, talent and most of all attitude. You only have talent, no charm, no charisma and most of all your attitude is garbage. You tend to point fingers when you did not meet your expectation, accusing someone of having white privilege when in reality you have all the privilege, Nike opted to promote you first, you question Adidas for offering CC a better deal. You are in a league dominated by jealous and hateful individuals who feel threatened by a talented player who is dominating even the veterans and seasoned players.
Sue NIKE for breach of contract. They will change their tune.
It doesn’t appear that the former or present are as skilled at marketing and media savvy as CC, who’s timely entrance as a pro and having grown up in the media generation has the advantage of knowing how to market her brand. The wnba is in the same position and needs a new administration for it to succeed. I’m an American living in England and I am looking forward to watching CC become a global brand. 3 cheers to CC 👌
CC signed with Nike first, Adidas came after she won ROTY. Not even sure yet if she signed with Adidas yet. She's got a contract with Nike.
She hasn't; nothing but clickbait video's lately about CC.
She didnt...I don't understand all of these youtubers lying. It's so fucking weird
Adidas low balled her. Under Armour brought Steph Curry in to make their pitch, but Clark still go to Nike because of their past relationships (and I bet all those Kobe shoes played a role in her decision to sign with Nike too)
No actual video of Wilson speaking, just a bunch of clips of her playing and an narrator speaking.
Simply not true. Her conversation caught on a hot mike with Kelsey Plum as she talks about "White Privilege" being the reason Plum is there and also incoming UCONN player Paige Bueckers. There's so MANY instances of CONVERSATIONS with Aja where she opens here mouth about others who have used there Privilege to get in the league, but she has worked so hard without any recognition. All the while, as a child she attended Private schools from grades 1-12? Actually, having a father that played in the NBA and provided for her until graduation from college, one has to assume why she doesn't understand "her Privilege?"Some people will bathe in the cesspool of "victimhood" finally awakening one day to see the trail of victims they have created because of their insensitivity and arrogant entitlement.?
Hers my take, WNBA is a high school BB game to watch, now CC brings excitement to the game, No racial bs, just excitement.
Wilson your not the prize your nothing irrelevant
There is no contract with Adidas at the moment
Nike read my lips 👄 EFF you! Let’s see how many pairs of shoes 👟 Wilson sells for you? Goofy.😂
You guys are the missing the point. A'ja has a high school championship, a college championship, 2 gold medals and 2 professional championships. She has also been WNBA MVP 3 times, has the highest average score of any player in WNBA history and the most points in a season. She is only the 2nd player in the league's 25 year history to be the Unanimous MVP. She literally put the University of South Carolina on the map for Women's Basketball. She is the only college player I know to have her own statue at college, plus, they are retiring her college jersey next year. This is not all of her awards. She is only 28.. not 35.. in her prime. Look up her Nike commercial she has in the Team USA jersey, it shows all of her awards. This is what she means when she says she is the prize. I too started watching the WNBA because of CC and Angel Reese. I discovered A'ja and Stewie. A'ja is a beast for her team like Stewie. It took CC a minute to find her footing in the WNBA - no knock on her. A'ja may not be as flashy as CC but she has awards to back up her talent. I found that I like a lot of different players because of CC and Angel Reese. There's room to like more than one player in the WNBA.. The NBA players trash talk as well.. Hello Antony Edwards. That dude thinks he is better Jordan.. which is crap. He is just cocky and confident. Ladies can be the same as well. A'ja is like Tim Duncan... she has mastered the basics and it's not always flashy but she is consistent and has been one of the best players in the last 3 to 4 years along with Stewie. Guys, CC is a great player and she is going to get better. You can also like more than one player.. NY, Seattle, Vegas, Connecticut, Minnesota were all really good this past year. Indiana found it's footing after the Olympics. They are young with a lot of upside.. Let's just appreciate the talent whoever that is for you. I am grateful for CC bringing my attention to all the great talent in the WNBA. Looking forward to CC next year.
Didn’t know who Aja was until CC joined the WNBA. Even Mase ask Aja who 😂
Hold up!! Did he just say A’ja Wilson is a household name. Stop it!
The problem with the WNBA is that none of them realise Caitlin is their ticket to earning more money in the long run, so instead of playing this “we think we deserve everything that she’s getting” I’m surprised she hasn’t had some players latch onto her aura or try to be buddy buddy with her yet
Caitlin Clark is the biggest superstar ever in the WNBA...I knew a few players in the WNBA but no one ever had an impact like Caitlin Clark did in the history of female basketball....
Swoopes and Aja pure jealousy of Caitlin. Sickening racism from blacks.
Aja Wilson is the prize? Sounds like a 304 to me
It means Nike rather LOSE MONEY than to hear black women complain….Smh,damn.
Calling Wilson a household name makes me laugh....
The girl can ball fr she literally cooks everyone atm. The girl is talented no joke.
Wilson basketball endorsement is a prime example of the difference in marketability difference of CC and Aja
Nike did something similar to Stephen Curry. What's marketable is skill, grace, humility, and love for the game. CC just love to play ball, and it shows!
So, basically, Nike is pushing this narrative?😂😂
Aja is the reason CC wasn’t unanimous for rookie of the year. She had a friend vote for Reese.
Caitlin is MARKETABLE and she's really really good at playing basketball with style
Aja is great player, but literally ruined her reputation as having any class with her outbursts regarding jealousy and racism over CC! It’s been so ridiculous! Now they are saying they are worrying about giving such a reward to a rookie vs a seasoned MVP! Whoever can make you the money is who you cater to, that’s got CC written all over it!
So CC gets $3.5 /yr(peanuts for a superstar) and Nike shelves her sneaker that would make them $100’s of millions, yet they would rather pander to their DEI absurdities and put out a black girl’s shoe instead of a white girl’s. Oh look how righteous they are. Now explain that to your Nike stock holders, who should file a class action lawsuit suit against you for holding back Nike’s profits for the sake of wokism while their stock crashes.
Haters are going to hate always 🤷🏻♂️, shoutout to Caitlin 👊🏽👏🏼
Nike signing Caitlin is like the auto manufacturer buying the patent for the 200 mpg engine patent just to keep it off the market.
For those that are ignorant, Caitlin Clark was never the Problem! Her racist fans and supporters were always the problem. To Caitlin's credit her approach was always about being a competitor through her trash talk and game play never being racist. However her fans praised her trash talk and approach to the game, but when Angel Reese did the same they treated her differently and made it blatantly racial with their comments. I think for all the ladies in the WNBA some of them are pissed because they've been playing this sport for many years at a high level and never got the recognition that's being given to Caitlin. It's almost like any other workers who have been on a Job for years helping a company to stay afloat without even a pat on the back, and one person comes in for 2 days does one good thing and now their getting all this praise. I think most of us would be pissed even if the praise was warranted. Caitlin gets probably a little misplaced hate and animosity because of the fans who show the other players no respect!!! Unfortunately someday they'll turn on Caitlin when the next Superstar comes along and is better than her. Great example is Rhonda Rousey who was praised when she was on the Top and Unbeaten, but after one loss they started to turn on her.
Click Bait BS. NO video confirmation about Nike, Adidas, European league - just total BS
Who actually put butts in the seats? Who brought in REVENUE from day 1? Who brought interest?. It's just that simple.
A'ja Wilson is a has been, if the WNBA has overlooked her and seen her as a joke, then there is a reason why the WNBA has overlooked A'ja Wilson. Just like Angel Reese, I mean if any of you seen her other vids and saw how she dressed. I don't think parents want their daughters to grow up like that.
A J WILSON. NEVER HEARD OF YOU SINCE ALL PEOPLE STARTED WATCHING CATILYN.
Clark’s contract is with Nike NOT Adidas. Get your facts straight.
The WNBA needs to get on top of these negative comments about their players. It certainly creates interest and thats shown by audince figures and media attention but there will be deadline on that stuff and fans will get sick of it .
I'm sure there are a lotta people out here and there like me, who came to know about those WNBA Players Only After Caitlyn Clark joined the League.🙌🏼 Caitlyn Clark🙌🏼 She's Da Dawg🙌🏼 She the Queen🙌🏼
The fact that they left Caitlin off the Olympic team says all you need to know about the poison in women’s basketball. It’s no wonder no one watched this prison yard league for 30 years.
I think that NIKE knows that once the CC22 shoes are out the other ones will not do good numbers. If the CC22 shoues would come out first, the Aja and others shoes will sell waaaaaayy less.
Nobody who’s not a WNBA fan knows Wilson or anyone else in the WNBA except Clark…plain and simple. I speak from personal experience
Right now she's the truth no doubt 💯 percent you go C.C.🎉
You are so NOT the prize Aja.
I'm a 24 year old Caribbean woman and i don't watch or get hooked up on sports but i like watching clips on youtube and what I've seen SO FAR is a alot about CC. And only see alot of highlights about her. CC is well known and what ive seen alot more humble and has better spotsmanshio than that A'ja woman. So if i was a big time brand company, I would choose CC not only for her exxcellent performance but because of her popularity and humbleness and business wise that would help my company with sales
Of course it’s overshadowing the previous players and legacy Cheryl and Aja who? The new players always do that. They are young, vibrant, and relevant. Caitlin Clark is awesome and doesn’t talk smack. She truly is an all around great player and happy that Adidas endorsed Caitlin. I only paid attention tonENBA because of Caitlin. No one else matters to me.
Aja Wilson, no one knows you. You are a legend in your own mind. Just like many of your teammates. Angel Reese is another example, she thinks she should be noticed. Reese is average at best. The black players think they should be recognized and given huge raises. Yet they could not on their own, make enough money to sustain the WNBA. 30 years of failure, 30 years having the NBA paying the way. Not one player could put butts in the seats. Then came along one player who was marketable, who had the “It” factor. One player who could have influence so that many players could earn a good living. That player was Caitlin Clark. She was white, straight and great. All the black lesbians were outraged, they could not handle the fact that a white player was the one.
I could not have told you the name of one player or one team in the WNBA, before Caitlin Clark!
In this day, corporations have entered the activist field.
Jealousy is an awful thing
BOYCOTT NIKE UNTIL CC GETS HER SHOES. AJA IS A CRYBABY. THERES NO CRYING IN BASKETBALL.
