Does Caitlin Have The Biggest Impact On Women’s Basketball In History?
Just came here to say, the whole "xyz is breaking xyz" millennial quote is very cringey and overused. Has been for some time now.... dislike.
No. The players who were WNBA stars in the first 5-10 years of the league had the biggest impact. Without them, there would be no league for Caitlin Clark to join.
Caitlin will have the biggest impact on the growth of the WNBA by many magnitudes.
"In History" is tough, which is why I hate all the "who's the GOAT" talk about the NBA. There isn't just one greatest player "in history". But right now, Caitlin is the GOAT and so much fun to watch. I've been telling all my male hoops friends about her and it's gone from "who?" a few years ago to "did you see the game last night?" I don't understand all the hate (for Caitlin and women's hoops and sports in general).
@@SmashixMetal4Evah It is absurd to anoint any player "the GOAT" after their first game. She is the GOAT of women's basketball hype, but it's a long way to being the GOAT of the WNBA. Can we please chill a bit?
Never watched a single woman's basket ball game, let alone go to one. All changed with this Iowa chick!!!!!! We now try to watch her in any game, the girls love her. Cheers
She’s going to carry the WNBA. I’ve never watched their leaque BUT I’m on it now , just her games though.
That isn't "carrying the WNBA". That's carrying her brand.
Dark forces are conspiring to destroy her, starting with her own coach!
@@davidcmather She has been working with her coach for only a month. That's giving her a lot of credit if she can be destroying Clark so fast.
@@UnconventionalReasoning she’s a rookie she doesn’t have a brand yet. She’s carrying the WNBA because she’s actually bringing more viewers to their league.
@@khonable The NIL situation allows college players to have a brand. Yes, she's bringing more viewers to the WNBA. It's kind of sad how big an effect she has had.
I'm hooked. Watching her play gives me joy nd reminds me of my days as a point guard and helping develop plays for scoring points. Basketball is a skilled sport and has alot of contact between players especially in the paint under the basket.
Breanna Stewart did not win a championship. Her team won those championships. Championships in team sports are not an individual accomplishment. The most anybody can claim about a player is that she helped her team win a championship.
OMG. I was beginning to think I was the only person around here who understands this. You CAN be the greatest player in basketball but if you get drafted by last year's worst team how are you going to 'lead' them to a championship?
I’ve never heard of any of them until now
Caitlin has to be double and triple teamed to shut her down. Her passing is superb, but she has to have team mates to pass to. The Fever doesn't run the court like the Hawkeyes did, its time they kick it up. She's a force and it will all pan out over time. Lisa Bluder was an amazing coach and she helped groom and develop Caitlin's skills. Hopefully Sides doesn't squander Caitlin's skills and helps her adjust to WNBA playing.
35 percent shooting 0 rebounds 3 assists and 10 turnovers she was just as bad in the preseason she will be a slightly above player at best and the TV ratings and attendance will go back to normal when people start opening there eyes she's not even a top 30 wnba player
@@user-gz6gl5lt5v I'm a new fan to the wnba, from what I see of her, its going to be nearly impossible for not to just get better and better. Even if the fever keep losing she will get better. Next season they will get another top draft pic and slowly build a team. Sha had 20 vs top defense regardless of her shot count
Both teams she has played against assigned one player to defend her. There are some really good players in the WNBA.
100 percent. As we can see from the game today she had 22 against the “might” Stewart. CC is not the issue the rest of the team needs to get in better shape and come up to her level and style of play.
@@terrylynch4407 she had 9 turnovers dude
Clark and Reese will become the Bird/Magic of the WNBA and will elevate the sport just like Bird/Magic did.
Great analogy. Then later the WNBA will have their own version of Michael Jordan.
That's not gonna happen
I dont need CC to win (a bonus if fever does), i just want CC to score as much as 3s as much as possible lol same as Spurs with Wemby. Viewers will watch because of her exciting shot making. Create ratings please. No need to pressure her of winning coz thats crazy 🎉🎉🎉
You want Clark and Wemby to be West and Wilt?
@@UnconventionalReasoning chill, do you think Indiana will win this year? Please drink some water. I would rather have them play and blend for this year. Dont even do unnecessary forced changes just to focus on winning coz thats not what is needed at this stage. I would rather see more of what they can try different screens to free up their shooters and also try pick and roll and not thinking about winning but just executing. Winning will just come once they become effective and effecient with their executions
@@nr14989 chill, did West win in his rookie season?
Yesss"is caitlin Clark.is caitlin Clark"love it"🌹🌷🐼
From creator to creator the thumbnail for this video is amazing. Oh and the video is good too 👍
Until Kaitlyn Clark came on the scene. I never watch women’s basketball. I’m glad she’s there and I hope that she keeps on doing a great job. She’s such a great player. Keep up the good work Miss Clark.
The goat
Turnover goat
How her teammates actually move their asses and be ready for her to pass the ball.
35 percent shooting 0 rebounds 3 assists and 10 turnovers she was just as bad in the preseason she will be a slightly above player at best the goat give me a break
@@user-gz6gl5lt5v So why wasn't Tom Brady cut after his first season? He only played one game, had an average passing yardage of two, and had a quarterback rating of 42.4. Let's see how she progresses over the next few years.
Clark has earned all the accolades, BUT media has magnified it more than in the past
Well said, buddy, everything you said was great. Thank you very much for your video. Please make more
Thanks for this wonderful post, to all involved! Very well done, for very exciting WNBA times....
From a competitor's perspective, "winning isn't the most important thing, it's the only thing." Vince Lombardi
...but from a spectator's perspective, great looking sport is what we're looking for. It's OK if someone else wins by two strokes ahead of Tiger Woods, if we've seen Tiger play some unbelievable golf. It's OK if Serena Williams loses 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 if we've seen her play some astonishing tennis. But apparently a player's efforts, skill, talent, hard work, attitude and individual brilliance count as nothing if her team doesn't win.
Clark's most notable attribute is her relentless competitiveness. This is what consistently sets the best performers apart, not so much a separation in talent. It's the competitive drive that pushes them to go beyond normal.
When you asked who we would think of when we think of great women basketball players, you missed one: Ann Meyers. To quote Wikipedia: " She was also the first woman to sign a contract with a National Basketball Association team, the 1979 Indiana Pacers, for $50,000. None of the women you mentioned were ever considered to be drafted by an NBA team." Maybe I am dating my self, but she is the best I have watched.
Another name that came to mind was Carol Blazejowski, or Blaze for short. Again from Wikipedia: Blaze "was a three-time All-American, from 1976 through 1978. Blazejowski won the inaugural Wade Trophy as the nation's finest collegiate woman player in 1978. She led the nation in scoring with 33.5 points per game in 1976/77 and 38.6 points per game in 1977/78. Blazejowski scored 40 or more points in each of her last three games, including the semifinal loss to eventual champion UCLA. Sports Illustrated would call Blazejowski, "the most relentlessly exciting performer in the history of women's basketball". She set a Madison Square Garden record for either sex with 52 points in a 1977 game". And those points per game were, like Pistol Pete's, done without a 3-point line.
A walk down memory lane.
You're dating yourself? How's that going? Have you got to third base yet? Meals less expensive than they are with two people, I suppose....
@@BenjWarrant ?. Yes, I may be dating myself, but I have been a basketball fan/player for over 70 years. Still enjoy the game. I can't jump like I used to (39 inch vertical), but still enjoy it. I really don't understand your comments. Are you saying what I said was inaccurate? Are you saying you have never heard of these players? Growing up my favorite player was Bob Cousy. I tried to fashion my game after his.
@@Kalamabbfan Whoosh!!
Caitlin clark the goat she destroyed records greatness is what she's all about a scoring machine.how funny they double team her and she out smarts them .the best passer on the wnba and rebounding she's a triple double type of lady and beautiful she is try 35 million coming her way.she can go into modeling
Never watched a WNBA game before her. I will watch others now. Want to see how Cameron Brink, Reese and Cardosa and Nika Muel do and also how they fare against these cocky veterans.
I really think that all these women, Neue and old in the game of basketball are so jealous of Katlyn Clark. They can’t stand it that someone has come along like Katlyn and made everybody watch women’s basketball. Keep going Katlyn. I am behind you all the way, and keep up the good work young lady we enjoyed watching you play and hitting those three and four point baskets❤️🫶🫶
Thank u for bringing some sanity to the discussion.
OMG, "Whiner's NBA. What a brand...It's like Middle school all over again. I'm like half of the USA, I had never watched a WNBA game before, now I'm hooked.
Good job … thank you ! 👍👍👍👍👍
She is the ONLY female player I know !!! The first one !!!!
It's the long threes and the driving ability !!!
“Think of any woman’s basketball player” I didn’t know a single one besides Caitlyn 😂
SC is a super team. Their roster is insane. For this reason I will always support any team other than SC. If Breanna Stewart didn't play for a super team in NCAA she could have done this too.
I NEVER WATCHED WOMEN BASKET BALL UNTIL I ACCIDENTALLY TUNED IN TO A GAME WHERE CAITLIN CLARK WAS PLAYING. MY FAMILY AND I WATCH ALL OF HER GAMES, WHEN CLARK IS GONE SO WILL WE.
Brianna Stewart also had stacked Uconn teams.
I just dropped in to say that thumbnail picture is fire!
Excellent vid
Ncaa title or not.....she's a legend!
Get her adequate help, they”lol clean people’s clock.
Never watched basketball much then Lebron went to Miami those finals were crazy. I’ll never forget that Ray Allen 3. Now bc of Caitlin Clark I’m watching womens basketball.
She s The Best and Angela Too 💯❤️
Angela can at least rebound.
Next season WNBA tagline will be Caitlyn Clark Presents the WNBA
Give her some time and the team to adjust they have played two very good teams they need to let her play
While shes still new to the leauge she is gonna get better throughout the season she is not doing to hot rn but maybe near a quarter way through it she will find her grove and get going definitely next year she will win games no problem
Wow let's send Clark down to the developmental league since she's not averaging 20 plus points in her few pro games she's played in. Or how about sending her coach to Siberia and hiring Clark's college coach I'm sure she can put coach Sides.
At the pace she’s on, I wouldn’t be surprised if she averages 28 pts and 8 assists by the end of the year
Another newby getting the years and video clips mixed up. The 40 point triple double against HVL in the Sweet 16 was Caitlin's junior season, not her senior one.
I am not an Iowa fan, despite living 20 miles from the university. I never watched a woman's game until the 2023 finals. I may not even be a Caitlin Clark fan- the jury is out. But, this woman is the Joe Namath of women's professional basketball. Namath changed the game, and is the reason NFL players started making a living playing football. Caitlin is the reason WNBA players will start earning money. Will others help? Of course! But they are not Caitlin Clark. TAKE NOTE- I AM THE STILL SMALL VOICE SAYING SHE WILL CHANGE THE GAME THE WAY NAMATH CHANGED THE GAME. So, yeah, I have a WNBA season pass. Because of Caitlin Clark. A BIG PLUS- since This is the real beginning of the WNBA, you don't get as many commercials as you get basketball. Pretty cool! NOW, TO GET THE OTHER WOMEN IN THE LEAGUE TO FIGURE IT OUT AND APPRECIATE HER INSTEAD OF BEATING HER UP!
No one could think of anyone that played in the NBA before Caitlin Clark so...
The great white hope!!! So much better players out there. One person doesn't win games! The more they go to her, the more they will lose. FACTS!
Stop hating on CC by other WNBA stars🙏🙏🙏She will bring up the WNBA by her reliability to relate to the game👍👍👍Bringing the interest & marketable skills into a fun game💪💪💪
I was laughed at when said she will be the MJ of womans basketball (WNBA) and that she had coordination comparable to a man.
Now paying attention to Wnba bec of Caitlin Clark
I’m trying to figure out a game of hers to watch
Tonight’s game
@@nlyoswag7151 I’m in Dallas so I’ll be watching it here in 7/17
When random users comment that Caitlin is overrated, I always wonder overrated by whom? LeBron, who watches her games because of her? Steph, who said she has the same release time as him? Luka, who said she's the female Steph? Shaq, who called her the greatest female collegiate player of all time? SMH this is just her first W game, not Groundhog Day. People need to chill. 😂
Not to diminish Clark at all, but the NBA is a marketing machine. They've been losing money on the WNBA since it began. They need to hype up many more players to this degree, before they start making any profits from the WNBA. A 93% increase in ticket sales is awesome, but still won't break even, I suspect.
Make her the Logo it’s been a game already!
Amen.
Caitlin is great and is bringing All-Of-A- Sudden" monies to the WNBA. It took A Caitlin Clark to come along because it would have NEVER HAPPENED. There are bus loads of Minority women who play basketball and although PHENOMINAL AT IT, the typical consensus has always been that it's "Normal" and phenomenal black players are just shoveled along side the rest of the team... with what is considered "Normal" as in another black girl who can shoot a basketball or run fast.
Reply
You can’t tell the truth they will accuse you of playing the race card…..Shhh but we know.
Kind of like MJ did ? The richest basketball player of all time worth several billion dollars.
Why do you bring in the "black" thing? What does that have to do with anything?
Clark was BY FAR the best women's college player. Her skin color was irrelevant.
She will become one of the best WNBA players. Her skin color will have nothing to do with that either.
What he said.
New sub
shes just allowing those thats been destroying the league to expose themselves to everyone.
OVERRATED?!?!?! That is exactly what many (the haters) are saying about her, I think they are expecting her to drop 40 every night in the league. Caitlin herself has said she is going to struggle a bit but she will also work harder to improve. That is what the great ones do, they keep quiet and work. MJ did not average 30 ppg until his 3rd season in the league his 1st year he averaged 28.2 and his injury year of 85-86 he averaged 22.7, so based on the logic of these folks he was also overrated as well. We all saw what he accomplished in his career. This is because he worked on his game constantly to improve, same with Kobe, LeBron, KD, Steph, Shaq and many others.
Just because she isn't shooting lights out at the moment and is having turnovers is probably because she has been playing non stop since last fall and that can be exhausting for anyone if you ask me, she hasn't had any real time to recharge her batteries, plus the pace is much faster and she knew this coming in, she also knew that there was going to be struggles for her, and she will deal with them with the same grace and maturity that she has all along due to her upbringing.
In over 16k wnba games ever played she's is tied at 3 for most turnovers ever in a games she's the most over hyped basketball player ever yeah she's the all time ncca points leader but she took the most shots she's is also the number 3 most turnovers in a career in college basketball period and she played in 23 and 19 less games then the first 2
Wait till she plays a team not named Liberty that is more
On Indianas level she will light it up. All these other teams have much better players.
Yes i agree about the great female hall of famers of the wnba like diana taurasi and sue bird and breanna stewart but what about Maya Moore no one seems to really care about that player anymore do they except me and caitlyn clark thats for sure go mn lynx
Sean, you need to go look up the word "punctuation", and then try some.
@@qt3dot14ish punctuation is not in my category , Caitlyn Clark and me are still right on about Maya Moore , go mn lynx !
After Griner was exchanged for an american mass muurderer the wnba should just shut up about CC and just play.
I was gonna say LeBron James, in answer to your first question… 🤔
Angel reese???nobody has heard of her but there is nothing wrong with a healthy rivalry
change the WNBA logo to hers... seriously it the least the league can do :)
How many NCAA championships would Breanna Stewart or Diana Taurasi have won if they didn't play for the power house UCON.? And would either of them have been able to lead a school like Iowa to back to back finals.?
Bruh, they are 0-4, so tell me, why do you call her a star, but you call Angel Reese an “up and coming” star.
I wish these people would stop putting fake garbage on youtube by talking trash about caitlyn clark why dont you knock the crap off and stop messing with caitlyn got it
What happens when the hype machine wears down? She has a big target on her back from her popularity and Endorsement deals. Those woman in the wnba are going to try to make her look below average; like the 10 turnovers she had in her debut against the Sun. Remember the hype surrounding Ronda Rousey. Oh yeah i almost forgot how the guard for South Carolina kelp picking her pocket and shout her down in the second half of the championship game.
You're so dumm. Nobody shut down Clark. In the championship game it was 9 vs 2, and Caitlin still put 30/8/5 on the board.
Sun-Fever CC shot 33%, 20 points erased with 10 turnovers
It’s a shame the rest of the wnba is too stupid to see this as an opportunity to grow everyone’s brand
Too arrogant, jealous, racist, stupid.
😮 Stop playing. she's already the most influential, most transcendental player to ever play Women's basketball . She is the Tiger Woods of the WNBA. she's the exact opposite of what you would expect and that's WHY she's so popular. She is destroying the Perception of what we Know about women's basketball. Tiger changed golf; Caitlyn is changing womens basketball and inspiring millions.
1:49 that girls soul leaves her body, stolen by my hero CC.
Gambling on the WNBA went up 516% due to Caitlin Clark. Attendance records are being broken. New contracts. So, the answer is yes. Face reality, without Caitlin Clark most people would not even turn on a WNBA game.
They can’t dunk a basketball they missed a lot of layups. They just don’t get down like men do.
Fave? Maya Moore. Clark agrees with me.
Kaitlyn is about to be broken by all the hype everybody’s putting on her. She’ll go down in history is the most overrated player ever.
@dwightcurrie8316 How did she do in her second game? I missed it.
You can't even spell her name correctly, so how dumm are you?
Caitlin is as good as any female basketball player ever. The idea that she turned people on to any women's sport is ridiculous and keeps being repeated by talk (news) hosts, former players, current players, league officials and any idiot with a podcast is insulting to the American and global sports fans is insulting. It's 2024 NOT 1972. The WNBA has done nothing but create an insular, whiney, sloppy pretend Professional league that has convinced themselves they're trailblazers and those who don't dig "their style" of ball are sexist or "new fans". The WNBA has squandered tons of talented players...made no effort to develop, played so poorly and slow that an intramural jr college team could switch unis and no one would notice. Women's tennis, soccer, softball and especially volleyball have rabid fans.... almost every person in the US was a female player or has a spouse, mother, daughter,niece, friend, sister or neighbor. Caitlin brought fans because of her unique skills, intelligence , attitude, toughness and likeable nature. Too MANY Fans To ignore. Mia Hamm, Peaches James, Mary Lou Reton, Peggy Fleming, Venus and Serena AND you blew 25 plus years until you got caught. WNBA is hot because fans and the NCAA got. NOW
I love all the controversy she's creating. Gonna start watching WNBA now. Remember how much it sucked before her? Me neither, I didn't even know it existed until that trans woman got busted with pot in Russia.
This is her first game in wnba.... What are this haters and jealous quack quack about? Let her settle once she felt the game and comfy everything will be amazing. 👍💪😇
-- Thought of Lisa Leslie, but I don't watch the WNBA. Wish Clark the best. Still not going to watch it.
“And if they hate, then let’em hate and watch the money pile up”
-Ye
One thing Caitlin has the most of the WNBA does not have is simple....class
Looks like it.
She's the boss!
Caitlin clark only raising the Flag of women’s basketball…..never in my life know Star player in the WNBA only when Caitlin came….honestly I need to research to know who is the superstar..
So then it isnt the basketball drawing you in specifically, what is it? Cause CC isnt even close to being a top player in the league.
@@yusufmuhmeed the top player you said did she even give WNBA a profit or recognize by the most of the people… even most of the women don’t know or your top player exists… go to the street ask 100 women in random who know top WNBA player before you told…even in awarding ceremony after winning championship you can the difference…
HYPE trains get derailed. She better work on her Point Guard skills.
That can’t keep up.
don't care for frmale basketball, do like
Caitlin basketball. She is 2 steps above the rest, sill only watch highlights.
I am done watching WNBA.
If I haad a choice to watch either a NBA or WNBA game. Of course it would be a NBA game.
WNBA ?woman’s national bowling league 🫣🤣
22 is doing nothing more than testing peoples patients. Some are already calling her a bust while some say give her time.
This is all cap
I don't think she would have this attention had she not chose Iowa, and went to a big name program, in a bigger state, instead. The loyal Iowa fanbase elevated her popularity. She wouldn't have developed, or received the freedom to shoot how she does, at another program.
Yeah she breaking records in her first game with those 10 turnovers.
How many of her passes were dropped? Too far for lazy teammates? Exactly. Why would you root against her and the eyeballs she brings?
@kyleelsbernd7566 So we going to blame her Pro teammates for her 10 turnovers in not the rookie, Unbelievable, And why you assume i’m rooting against her? Did she not have 10 turnovers????? Should I not point out a fact, It is literally a rookie record.
You clearly didn't watch the game.
@barbarajurkic6677 No, Clearly you didn’t, Now we shifting blame for a rookie with 10 turnovers?? UNBELIEVABLE.
First game and she already broke a record for turnovers.. In 16,463 wnba games in her first game shebis tied for 3rd most turnovers in a game most overrated basketball player ever
35 percent shooting 0 rebounds 3 assists and 10 turnovers she was just as bad in the preseason she will be a slightly above player at best and the TV ratings and attendance will go back to normal when people start opening there eyes she's not even a top 30 wnba player
bless her heart but she flopped on her first game. overrated.
20 points flop for a rookie? Nah
So, you're saying that she flopped and nevertheless scored 20 p in her first game? That only means, the sky is the limit for her 😊
Taurasi was pretty much wide open for each of the 3 pointers that she scored last night. I've been watching the W since 1997, and I've NEVER SEEN ANYONE guarded as closely as Caitlin has been guarded during the 2 preseason games and last night's game. And yet, she scored 20 points. Caitlin needs some time to adjust to her teammates and to the overall defensive expertise in the W. This is an adjustment that ALL rookies need to make. HOW MANY TIMES HAS A ROOKIE STARTED AS POINT GUARD, IN THE FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON, IN THE WNBA? My best guess is NEVER!!!! After less than two weeks of practice with an ENTIRELY NEW TEAM, coach, and league (with NO REST following the NCAA Tournament), a player scores 20 points (team high) and commits 10 turnovers while being VERY closely guarded. This is hardly a flop. It simply indicates that Caitlin needs more practice with her team so that she can better anticipate their moves (and her teammates need more practice with CC so they will be ready to catch her passes). The fact is, Caitlin can "see" where her teammates will be before they get there (her Iowa coach and all of the WBB TV commentators who know her game have stated this). She correctly calculates time, distance, and angles subconsciously prior to her passes and releases the ball to go to the location her teammates will be at when it arrives. To be honest, some of the turnovers were due to the fact that her teammates failed to look for her passes. It will just take a little more time, and there will be considerable improvement. Her passing, when she has sufficient practice with her teammates, is even more impressive than her logo shots.
