For college I can agree, she got my wife and I to watch her from the semifinals on, the first time we had watched college women's basketball, however she will not play in college any more.
So, now being the greatest of all time is based on how many people are watching the game????? Man, you guys, and by "guys" I mean white people, are trying so hard, and failing MISERABLY, to make this overrated player into something that she's clearly not lol.
Crazy how many WNBA players and people in the media are upset that she's succeeding and making the womens game more exciting. Cant tell if it's racism, jealousy, or a mixture of the two.
Plus ignorance and stupidity. Remember that black ex WNBA player interviewed by Gilbert Arenas? Sheryl (or Cheryl) Swoopes or something? Such stupidity.
You have to consider the level of talent on the team surrounding the player. Iowa has some very good players, but look at the recruiting rankings. Caitlin Clark taking Iowa to back to back Final 4 appearances is nothing short of astounding. And she still has a chance to win it.
Her team best performance skill is their ability to play around her, understand CC s level and be as humble as they are. No other athlete on her position has been brave enough to go to a team like Iowa, she does not appear to be human, no bad days, no pressure, what a clutch player, pass, rebound, understanding of the game, the court, just great..!!!
What the hell do you mean has a chance that is like saying close but no cigar she has no championships period and stands no chance against South Carolina at all get some smelling salts up your nose and wake up talking about chances that is same thing as dreaming.
@@alainmandado No one really cares about women's basketball. The level of play is too low! She might be good enough to play on a boys' high school "D" basketball team, so stop with all the absurd hyperbole!

You messed up when you said “basketball player.” You really mean women’s basketball player that nobody watches. Let’s get real about a tiny surge in popularity versus actual people watching a league that doesn’t matter. Your comment will age terribly. My comment will get hate in the short term, but be vindicated with time.
No, the eligibility rules should not be changed! The reason women’s basketball is becoming more popular is players stay, and give the fans buy-in. The one-and-done phenomenon causes fans not to care. The rule also results in college degrees and time for players to live a true college experience. Greed is not everything. Can we just do something right for a change, instead of succumbing to the nose candy of instant gratification?
Womens basketball is not becoming more popular! We are hoping she doesn't come to Indy because the team is costing so much! The fever need to find a smaller cheaper city to play in! If she comes they may not want to move!
@@mclovinlife4018 “Still early” are the operative words. Caitlin is improving, even if the Fever’s early season W-L record is abysmal. They could not win close games last year and have two close losses this year. Part of that might be in-game coaching. Meanwhile, the Fever roster is still very young,
@@jeffrey-me9by She should play for Ice Cube. She's going to be treated like sh*t in the WNBA. They can't realize when a sure thing can actually make them profitable for once. How much money did Taurasi bring in for the WNBA? Oh that's right $0.
Her assist ratio is gonna go up in the WNBA because she will be surrounded by better talent. She will elevate their game because her passing ability is much better than most. Obviously she can score from anywhere, so her scoring will be top notch. I’m excited as a Fever fan to watch her grow as a pro! The best ever? Who knows, but we are gonna find out soon enough!
Haven’t paid much attention to her on the defensive end. Obviously she can shoot. Just as impressive to me is her court awareness and how she distributes the ball to teammates. She definitely elevates their game which, I feel, is the ultimate measure of greatness. It’ll be fun to see if she can continue that in the WNBA.
Let's be honest it's about the offense way more in women leagues... But she actually made me sit down and watch women basketball hopefully she can bring more fans to the wnba that'll be great for them.
@@orlandowilliamson691isn’t the opposite the truth? That defence is way more important in women’s ball? They can’t dunk and have slower explosiveness.

Meaning your best bet is to out offence his team by mismatching
@@YT_ESSTEE see I know what your saying but you gotta think I'm talking women's basketball it really doesn't take much defense for them to miss they blow layups back to back wide open, But if you watch NBA the defense wins usually those guys not missing those shots because their just far too skilled...
I’m calling it, she will break the assist record in the WNBA her rookie year. Her passing game is next level. When she has teammates than can actually catch them all and finish to the hoop? It’ll be unstoppable
The viewership records she has smashed in the last 3 games of the tournament are a sign of how much people love to watch her play! I have never watched a single minute of women’s basketball in my life before this year - I tuned into all those games
She has the killer instinct that you cannot teach, similar to Kobe, Michael, and Larry. She also loves the game and seeing her supporting cast thrive. Who wouldn't want to be her teammate? I hope that CC and Bueckers play for the same WNBA team.
You couldn't pay me to watch an NBA game. When they changed the rules so certain players can take three steps before they shoot and are exempt from fouling drove me away. I enjoy the women's game because (at least for the most part) I can still recognize that there are rules.
The most impressive thing to me about Clark is that she can shoot from about as deep as any player, men's or women's. She has Steph Curry range, and she hits those at a solid clip.
THIS is how you do it; proving to everyone that filling seats is about talent and excitement on the court, not about gender. She's proving everyone wrong. You go girl!
She is absolutely incredible. I mean it's crazy. Caitlin Clark shoots above average in three point percentage while shooting an average 26 feet out. The average distance for NBA players isn't even close. One shot to save the world where the martians have the death beam pointed at earth you better hit it. I don't want Steph, I want Clark. She can also get to the rim at ease, finish through contact and can pass like nash. She can finish like Trae, shoot like Steph and pass like Nash. My favorite basketball player, man or woman by far
@lorettarichard3610 She is no comparison to Caitlin . She showed her true colors, as did her teamates by dissing the American National Anthem . Many people lost respect after that .
Clark is definitely is great when you consider that she elevates players with average talent. THe team around her at Iowa are not top level recruits. You can see they depend on Caitlin's court vision and ability to draw defensive attention. Also one of Caitlin's weaknesses when she was younger was that she would get into shooting slumps and compound them with careless mistakes. She has really been limiting that this season. You can argue that Clark still isn't the best defender, (though she's improved) but the tremendous pressure she puts on defenses with her range and ability to find the open teammate offsets any defensive deficiencies she might have.
She will be the most important name in women's basketball history. Watching her and Angel Reese is actually exciting, something WNBA games severely lack.
are you forgetting Diana Taurausi of UCONN HUSKIES compare Citlyn to her and you come up way short on your statement not to mention names like Staley, Swoopes and Sue Bird among others greater than Caitlyn how can you say she will be greatest name against Taurausi and UCONN HUSKIES go home
@@AtheistLeopardAtheistLeopard He probably meant start to finish.Don't be a hater.We all make mistakes.There has only been one perfect person,walk on this earth.And that was 2000 years ago.
Wow. I literally care more about her than I ever have about the WNBA put together. For the record, I’m transitioning away from enjoying watching the major pro sports, but this likable superstar is compelling to watch!
No Way South carolina dominates they have 5 excellent players and a great bench and coach far superior to Iowa one player does not win a game single handed it is impossible. FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The fact were watching this video is a testament to how good she is. Also, she must be incredibly strong seeing how she fights through contact when shes driving the lane and obviously her shooting range is elite. She’s got NBA range. If she forces the rest of women’s basketball to play up to her standard, it could see a huge uptick in viewership
@@jeffrey-me9bylol, maybe you’re being sarcastic. The video mentions that she has put up great rebounding numbers, especially for a guard. Also at 6 feet she is tall for a guard in women’s basketball.
Blessed to have witnessed all her college career here in Iowa, 10min from home, countless games. To have seen tickets going from 15$ to more than $400 in her last game at home. I go to the University of Iowa and I am yet to met someone who has anything bad to say about her, we studied in the same department, same professors, same halls, some common friends. She was always down to earth, understood her fame and all that comes with it and never said a single word that could lead to misinterpretation. I have not seen any of those WNBA or NCAA stars voluntaring as much as she did here in Iowa, from food banks to charity, she was always there sitting for hours helping others, signing jerseys, etc. Using her name to promote the community. No matter what happens I will always cheer for her. She could have went anywhere to get a title or to join a superteam, but she stayed home and put Iowa in the map. Never wanted someone to have won the NCAA title so bad as I did during those 2 Iowa runs. People who are just discovering Caitlin, or only watched the two last years have NO IDEA what she means to Iowa. She completely changed women basketball forever.
She's more of a Bird type of player than Curry. Her passing skills and ability to know exactly where her teammates are/going to be is incredible. If you're old enough to have seen Bird play you'll see the similarities.
Your comment is no better than the ones that call CC "a dude." Let's keep the focus on her play, not on whether she wears lashes or makeup on the court.
I am actually excited as fuck to see Caitlin Clark in the WNBA. I have a 2 year old daughter who always wants to pass me my basketball, Clark is going to be her Jordan
I find it crazy that she was ranked the 4th in her school class. Is it because her competitors had much better stats or is it because her stats didn't garner as much respect because the level of High School basketball in Iowa wasn't as high as in other states?
Caitlin Clark is gifted. She going to change women's basketball for decades. The women's basketball league needs a change. The gifted women out there have a chance to make something in sports. So you young women out there use your gift and use it. Now your gifted like this young woman, Caitlin Clark. You have submit to onething and go for it on that one thing. To open doors in your gifted talent
She has more than the basketball world talking about her, im not even a big basketball fan im here because i searched up “why is Caitlin Clark so popular” and now im watching this video lol im hearing about her all over the place and now im curious to learn why im hearing about her constantly even as someone who only watches baseball and never hears about women’s basketball unless its the butt of a joke but im hearing about Caitlin Clark and not in a joking manner but people excited about her and her career so im like okay who is this person lol
The game between LSU and Iowa was very entertaining. It was as good as anything I have seen with the men's tournament. Both teams were well coached and the players were solid on the fundamentals. The difference in the outcome was Caitlin Clark hitting NBA 3 point shots. Though Angel Reese is no slouch. Both teams were impressive to watch.
@@kermitefrog64 Pay attention, jr. THEY DIDNT DOUBLE TEAM HER. let that sink in snapperhead lol. when she IS double-teamed she's not as GOOD offensively. THINK now. does god watch you whack? is that the trigger i pwned you in as well? THEND lolol
I can admit that I have been keeping up and really putting time towards watching and reading about the WNBA and its because of Caitlin and the news. I talk to my sister about it now and its something shes really been into her whole life so I hope others who aren't already following an amazing league and sport also get a chance to experience this and share it with their friends and family who are fans!
In terms of marketing herself, it was a blessing in disguise that she "stayed home" by attending Iowa. She was essentially a big fish in a small pond. Had she attended a larger, more established school like UConn which was her first choice she would've sat on the bench the first year. Second, she would've been surrounded by higher talent that would've stolen her thunder. Last, there's no professional sports teams in Iowa so high school and college athletics dominate local news. And of course, she benefitted tremendously through today's social media...something that female athletes didn't enjoy to the same degree 10-20 years ago.
She is so good, that instead of "Angel" reflecting on her loss, she played the V card and talked about anything but basketball. Funny how she never did that after a win.
She's incredible! And to think when I played basketball we were only allowed to play half court! I hated that! And we didn't have games with other towns. Only GAA and within our own school What a change in girl's basketball since the 50's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@noraboerner6437 nobody's afraid of transgender people. I know word definitions are difficult sometimes for people who support this - but "phobia" has a very specific meaning and it doesn't apply here. objectively and scientifically accurate information is not hate or bigotry. Stop your nonsense.
The only "hate" is that government is allowing biological men onto women's sports teams. Start trans teams if they want but a trans woman is not a biological woman. Obviously. Otherwise we wouldn't need the distinction of "trans"
No denying that she dominates her peers, but I dont understand why people are trying to act like she could play in the nba. She is only 6' and 150lbs, the competition is totally different.
When Clark gets in the WNBA, I'm going to drive or fly to Indiana and watch her play. I live in Texas. I wouldn't do that for any other WNBA player. FYI, I watched two WNBA games in Charlotte NC, when they had a team and both games were dull. Clark has a chutzpah, charisma and daring-do that I see few other WNBA or NCAA women's bb players display.
Lifetime Hawkeye fan and Iowa resident here. You “get it” and put your $ where you mouth is. My wife and I may travel to see a game or two; wish we could afford to see them all!
Caitlin Clark doesn’t need the wNBA the wNBA needs Caitlin Clark honestly hope she takes up ice cubes offer far better and more lucrative deal but whatever the lady GOAT decides hope it works out for the best she is amazing.
That High School All-Star game last night was unbelievable. About the best game of hoops I've ever seen. They ought to put those two teams in the bracket somewhere! Even if just for fun.
she's attractive, straight, and is the GOAT of college women's basketball.........wnba IF she goes there...probably the GOAT, let's see..........let's see if ZOGonzo doesn't pay some woke afro girl to ruin her knee or something..........remember, this is the united states of atlantis, now. not america anymoreOwitz.
She IS The Best Women's Basketball Player EVER. And better than 85% of the men - Including the NBA - Where most players want to sit out every 3 games for rest and load management. What a Joke. This lady LOVES the Game and it shows
85% better than men I think you are smokinng crack or something no woman will ever be that good Jordan? abdul-jabbar? Majic Johnson,Clyde Drexler, Bill Russell Wilt Chamberlin? Reggie Miller? and on and on you must be a crackhead teah thats it
some of those little girls you see at the games watching her and having her team jersey on. One of these girls will probably break all Catlian records and I bet when that happens Catlian will hug that girl and cheer her on instead of hating
@@AtheistLeopardAtheistLeopard where else would she go? Europe? NBA (would they let her play in the NBA if she actually had the skills which is clearly not guaranteed although she certainly would be better than most of the rest of the women players today).
Let's not abuse Pistol Pete's record when he didn't have the three-point shot or shot clock. He scored his points in three seasons. The records need to be separated by significant rule changes. It's the same in the NFL. The Dolphins are held as some sort of wonder team for going 14-0 in the regular season and winning the Super Bowl. They ended with a record of 17-0. The Patriots went 16-0 in the regular season but lost the Super Bowl, ending with an 18-1 record. I think the latter is a much more difficult task and more worthy of praise. Yeah, she's a great basketball player but don't forget to compare oranges to oranges.
You can say the same for a lot of records.For example: Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs in 154 game season.Everyone else had 162 games.Or that Barry Sanders broke Walter Peyton's rushing record in a 16 game season.Where as Payton,had a 14 game season.Records are made to be broken.There are a few that will never be broken though.Such as Cy Young's 511 lifetime wins as a pitcher.Or Ty Cobb's,lifetime .367 batting average.Those two, will stand till the end of time.
I saw Sabrina live for her college years and it's the same thing, there is a gene for a kind of bizarre no fear no doubt state. Kobe and Sabrina recognized that in each other and bonded.
@@SpookyApparition Simple ass kissing. She's a terrific female player. I love watching her, but as so often nowadays, sycophants compare women to men in sports, it's not fair to the women.
thats right men could care less about an overated woman just beacuse she does not wear makeup why is everybody so hung up on the waering eyelashes and make up that does not affect how a player performs get off of it
She's amazing. As someone who has a daughter who is a stud athelete, I appreciate the positive attention she is bringing to women's sports. I hope that this opens up more opportunities for females to make a good living playing sports should they put in the hard work to become excellent. The only thing I tire of is some people talking about how she might do playing against the men. She's 6ft tall and like 155lbs... and doesn't have testosterone... it is a ridiculous comparison. Its like how Serena Williams wouldn't even beat the 100 ranked male but that doesn't mean she isn't one of if not the biggest tennis super stars on the planet.
They should not change the eligible rules to the WNBA. It was those changes that ruined the mens NCAA, and ruined many young men not ready to compete sgainst fully developed men. And the emphasis of being students, which i believe is vital to prepare the men for when the NBA dream is over, for many early.
The major argument against staying in college was they were not getting paid while there. Now with NIL they have no reason to leave for the draft early. Men’s college basketball will probably try to extend the time athletes have to stay in college now that they are being paid.
even against Diana Taurausi of UCONN HUSKIES? The girl is not even tall and caannot rebound and play defense plus you are saying better than Swoopes,Staley Sue Bird and others? Think again I think last time I counted Diana had 3 championships so how is she greatest all time? has she won any championships or had other great caliber plaers playing with her like at UCONN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every sporting person sees her stroke and it’s undeniable. It’s also extremely impressive how she carries a team with her overall stats…those are some GAUDY overall stat lines. Even if that was your only goal, that’s really hard to do for men or women. But they win games too. Playing for the championship. Also very crucially, it’s an inspirational thing with young girls, for them to see men and women alike genuinely respect a female ball player to THIS degree. I’m usually not cheesy like that, but it’s very legit praise, not fake, so that has to mentioned as that extra kick that is making her skyrocket as a brand, I think.
I was the best jump shooter the coach was white my wood shop teacher I was the best jump shooter. Later nother story.i was dunking 9 grade summertime.i as benched a lot. My pe couch couldn't understand. I wonder 🤔
I think she would be a terrific shooting guard in the WNBA. Not a point guard, as her ball handling isn't good enough at that level. Love her attitude, and her vision. Strange rotation on her shot, but has managed to make it work extremely well.
@@prusso329 I didn't say she wasn't good at passing, did I? Larry Bird, Maravich, etc were also great passers. You don't have to be a point guard. But her long range shooting ability is even more valuable. Lugging the ball and shooting is too much with a WNBA schedule.

Shes has that killer jumpshot. Quite often she shots way beyond the ark. Shes got mens 3 point range which setts her apart. Very well rounded as well.
Clark is definitely is great when you consider that she elevates players with average talent. THe team around her at Iowa are not top level recruits. You can see they depend on Caitlin's court vision and ability to draw defensive attention. Also one of Caitlin's weaknesses when she was younger was that she would get into shooting slumps and compound them with careless mistakes. She has really been limiting that this season. You can argue that Clark still isn't the best defender, (though she's improved) but the tremendous pressure she puts on defenses with her range and ability to find the open teammate offsets any defensive deficiencies she might have.
Yeah, it's probably her fault.
She will be the most important name in women's basketball history. Watching her and Angel Reese is actually exciting, something WNBA games severely lack.
are you forgetting Diana Taurausi of UCONN HUSKIES compare Citlyn to her and you come up way short on your statement not to mention names like Staley, Swoopes and Sue Bird among others greater than Caitlyn how can you say she will be greatest name against Taurausi and UCONN HUSKIES go home
You're forgetting Diana And Maya
The feeling of success while playing on a team sport is truly like no other. It's the best feeling ever.
if u really want to know how great she is look at the difference between the arenas from the start to the beginning
from the start to the beginning is redundant dude. lol.
It’s crazyyyyy. Totally empty freshman year. Fully packed senior year.
@@ktkingster
Her freshman year was the Covid year with cardboard cutouts as the fans.
@@AtheistLeopardAtheistLeopard He probably meant start to finish.Don't be a hater.We all make mistakes.There has only been one perfect person,walk on this earth.And that was 2000 years ago.
Facts
Wow. I literally care more about her than I ever have about the WNBA put together. For the record, I’m transitioning away from enjoying watching the major pro sports, but this likable superstar is compelling to watch!
Best female basketball player of all time, the fans she brought to the game proves it even more then her astonishing record breaking numbers!!
🤮🤮🤮🤮
I want her to win the NCAA Championship
That would indeed be a fairy tale ending. Cheers from the Philippines.
Iowa will win
Iowa =83
Uconn=76
IMO.....
last game of her college career. i hope she wins it all
No Way South carolina dominates they have 5 excellent players and a great bench and coach far superior to Iowa one player does not win a game single handed it is impossible. FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The fact were watching this video is a testament to how good she is.
Also, she must be incredibly strong seeing how she fights through contact when shes driving the lane and obviously her shooting range is elite. She’s got NBA range. If she forces the rest of women’s basketball to play up to her standard, it could see a huge uptick in viewership
but can she rebound? can she block shots? how tall is she? has she won any championships?
@@jeffrey-me9bylol, maybe you’re being sarcastic. The video mentions that she has put up great rebounding numbers, especially for a guard. Also at 6 feet she is tall for a guard in women’s basketball.
Blessed to have witnessed all her college career here in Iowa, 10min from home, countless games. To have seen tickets going from 15$ to more than $400 in her last game at home. I go to the University of Iowa and I am yet to met someone who has anything bad to say about her, we studied in the same department, same professors, same halls, some common friends. She was always down to earth, understood her fame and all that comes with it and never said a single word that could lead to misinterpretation. I have not seen any of those WNBA or NCAA stars voluntaring as much as she did here in Iowa, from food banks to charity, she was always there sitting for hours helping others, signing jerseys, etc. Using her name to promote the community.
No matter what happens I will always cheer for her. She could have went anywhere to get a title or to join a superteam, but she stayed home and put Iowa in the map.
Never wanted someone to have won the NCAA title so bad as I did during those 2 Iowa runs.
People who are just discovering Caitlin, or only watched the two last years have NO IDEA what she means to Iowa.
She completely changed women basketball forever.
why does the video cut off everywhere
She's more of a Bird type of player than Curry. Her passing skills and ability to know exactly where her teammates are/going to be is incredible. If you're old enough to have seen Bird play you'll see the similarities.
but she is not as tall as Bird so how can you compare the 2
@@jeffrey-me9by Because they have a very similar style of play and attitude. Pretty easy.
She's like pistol Pete more than anyone
@@jeffrey-me9by Because their play is similar.Caitlin can hit 3 pointers like Bird did.Also,Bird was an exceptional passer.So is Clark!
Bird and who? Chicken Curry?🤔
She is the best basketball player I've ever seen....
I'm a Knicks fan
This is John starks
she is the real Queen and Barbie of women´s Basketball , and she doesnt need the eyelashes and makeup on the field to make her the wonder woman
Your comment is no better than the ones that call CC "a dude." Let's keep the focus on her play, not on whether she wears lashes or makeup on the court.
I am actually excited as fuck to see Caitlin Clark in the WNBA. I have a 2 year old daughter who always wants to pass me my basketball, Clark is going to be her Jordan
I find it crazy that she was ranked the 4th in her school class. Is it because her competitors had much better stats or is it because her stats didn't garner as much respect because the level of High School basketball in Iowa wasn't as high as in other states?
They probably thought 'she wont get these shots off on girls taller than her'
skin color is why
@@AtheistLeopardAtheistLeopardsuuuuuuuure
@@AtheistLeopardAtheistLeopardif she didn't win notationals obviously she wouldn't be ranked 1 even if she is
@@AtheistLeopardAtheistLeopard Silly comment given who was ranked ahead of CC.
Caitlin Clark is gifted. She going to change women's basketball for decades. The women's basketball league needs a change. The gifted women out there have a chance to make something in sports. So you young women out there use your gift and use it. Now your gifted like this young woman, Caitlin Clark. You have submit to onething and go for it on that one thing. To open doors in your gifted talent
Hell yeah. Go Clark! Go Hawks!! 🔥
She has more than the basketball world talking about her, im not even a big basketball fan im here because i searched up “why is Caitlin Clark so popular” and now im watching this video lol im hearing about her all over the place and now im curious to learn why im hearing about her constantly even as someone who only watches baseball and never hears about women’s basketball unless its the butt of a joke but im hearing about Caitlin Clark and not in a joking manner but people excited about her and her career so im like okay who is this person lol
The game between LSU and Iowa was very entertaining. It was as good as anything I have seen with the men's tournament. Both teams were well coached and the players were solid on the fundamentals. The difference in the outcome was Caitlin Clark hitting NBA 3 point shots. Though Angel Reese is no slouch. Both teams were impressive to watch.
not well-coached at all lol nobody could guard CC 1 on 1, that's a coaches ERR
@@AtheistLeopardAtheistLeopard Defenders have tried to stop her throughout the year. That is not a coaching err that's just how good she is.
@@kermitefrog64 Pay attention, jr. THEY DIDNT DOUBLE TEAM HER. let that sink in snapperhead lol. when she IS double-teamed she's not as GOOD offensively. THINK now. does god watch you whack? is that the trigger i pwned you in as well? THEND lolol
Great shooter indeed. In the clutch and under pressure.
we will see if she can handle the WNBA is a tougher world
I can admit that I have been keeping up and really putting time towards watching and reading about the WNBA and its because of Caitlin and the news. I talk to my sister about it now and its something shes really been into her whole life so I hope others who aren't already following an amazing league and sport also get a chance to experience this and share it with their friends and family who are fans!
Caitlin Clark #22 🏀 from the Philippines 🇵🇭
kumista ka kuyah
The people of the Philippines know their basketball. Much respect from 🇺🇸
Cait the Grait. The way certain people can't hide their hate for this girl is just comical to me.
Wild 😜 Watermelon 🍉 Pop Tarts
It's jealousy.They all wish they were as good as her.
In terms of marketing herself, it was a blessing in disguise that she "stayed home" by attending Iowa. She was essentially a big fish in a small pond. Had she attended a larger, more established school like UConn which was her first choice she would've sat on the bench the first year. Second, she would've been surrounded by higher talent that would've stolen her thunder. Last, there's no professional sports teams in Iowa so high school and college athletics dominate local news. And of course, she benefitted tremendously through today's social media...something that female athletes didn't enjoy to the same degree 10-20 years ago.
She is so good, that instead of "Angel" reflecting on her loss, she played the V card and talked about anything but basketball. Funny how she never did that after a win.
She Loves the game. When ppl come together for the Love of the Game.❤️
I've just heard of this girl-impressive..and, I went to Dowling college (NY). didn't know there was a high school by that name.
What a hero. And The absolute GREATEST ever women's collegiate basketball superstar!
?????
She's incredible! And to think when I played basketball we were only allowed to play half court! I hated that! And we didn't have games with other towns. Only GAA and within our own school What a change in girl's basketball since the 50's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watching this after championship gang
3:05 There’s cardboard cutouts of people in the first rows of that stadium lol
😂😂
I think we are just relieved that she is a natural woman.
One of the schools is going to make it into the tournament with a biological male on their team and then this shit is really gonna hit the fan
I honestly am so warped by society I assumed it was a dude. Lol
Leave it to the transphobes to bring hate and bigotry to the comments.
@@noraboerner6437 nobody's afraid of transgender people. I know word definitions are difficult sometimes for people who support this - but "phobia" has a very specific meaning and it doesn't apply here.
objectively and scientifically accurate information is not hate or bigotry.
Stop your nonsense.
The only "hate" is that government is allowing biological men onto women's sports teams. Start trans teams if they want but a trans woman is not a biological woman. Obviously. Otherwise we wouldn't need the distinction of "trans"
Caitlin is a super hero on the court. Love watching her on the court.
She is the Greatest.
Yes.All time =leading scorer in NCAA basketball.That includes the men.
No denying that she dominates her peers, but I dont understand why people are trying to act like she could play in the nba. She is only 6' and 150lbs, the competition is totally different.
No one is saying she can play in the NBA.I have not heard one person say that.
When Clark gets in the WNBA, I'm going to drive or fly to Indiana and watch her play. I live in Texas. I wouldn't do that for any other WNBA player. FYI, I watched two WNBA games in Charlotte NC, when they had a team and both games were dull. Clark has a chutzpah, charisma and daring-do that I see few other WNBA or NCAA women's bb players display.
Lifetime Hawkeye fan and Iowa resident here. You “get it” and put your $ where you mouth is. My wife and I may travel to see a game or two; wish we could afford to see them all!
Caitlin Clark doesn’t need the wNBA the wNBA needs Caitlin Clark honestly hope she takes up ice cubes offer far better and more lucrative deal but whatever the lady GOAT decides hope it works out for the best she is amazing.
She went to the WNBA.
The world🌎already knew this question by late last season 😵💫 .
That High School All-Star game last night was unbelievable. About the best game of hoops I've ever seen. They ought to put those two teams in the bracket somewhere! Even if just for fun.
she is so beautiful. and she doesnt need eyelashes or makeup in the basketball court
she's attractive, straight, and is the GOAT of college women's basketball.........wnba IF she goes there...probably the GOAT, let's see..........let's see if ZOGonzo doesn't pay some woke afro girl to ruin her knee or something..........remember, this is the united states of atlantis, now. not america anymoreOwitz.
Lmao
you want to marry her or someting?
Ooohhhh I so agree with you
That’s one of the things you notice about Caitlin , Natural Beauty 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@jeffrey-me9byI've watched her interacting with her team. She seems like a lot of fun besides being intelligent. Her boyfriend is very lucky.
Hometown school of Iowa. Which is in Iowa City and not Des Moines.
Didn't you know that the whole state of Iowa is one big hometown?? 😂😂😂😂
She IS The Best Women's Basketball Player EVER. And better than 85% of the men - Including the NBA - Where most players want to sit out every 3 games for rest and load management. What a Joke. This lady LOVES the Game and it shows
85% better than men I think you are smokinng crack or something no woman will ever be that good Jordan? abdul-jabbar? Majic Johnson,Clyde Drexler, Bill Russell Wilt Chamberlin? Reggie Miller? and on and on you must be a crackhead teah thats it
What is this call 😭😭😭
@@joe61318 I call it SHE IS THE GOAT !!!
some of those little girls you see at the games watching her and having her team jersey on. One of these girls will probably break all Catlian records and I bet when that happens Catlian will hug that girl and cheer her on instead of hating
The LOGOAT ❤
Simple pleasure. She's just a joy to watch.
she may not be the best women's basketball player ever but she's definitely the most impactful in my eyes...
That's definitely something all the "experts" can't deny
she WILL be the GOAT in the TNBA trans association league , err WNBA...........IF she decides to go there...
right not the greatest ever good statement!!
@@AtheistLeopardAtheistLeopard where else would she go? Europe? NBA (would they let her play in the NBA if she actually had the skills which is clearly not guaranteed although she certainly would be better than most of the rest of the women players today).
@@AtheistLeopardAtheistLeopard So funny, I forgot to laugh.
I play basketball and I can say she is really good. And has leadership qualities on the basketball Cort
Let's not abuse Pistol Pete's record when he didn't have the three-point shot or shot clock. He scored his points in three seasons. The records need to be separated by significant rule changes. It's the same in the NFL. The Dolphins are held as some sort of wonder team for going 14-0 in the regular season and winning the Super Bowl. They ended with a record of 17-0. The Patriots went 16-0 in the regular season but lost the Super Bowl, ending with an 18-1 record. I think the latter is a much more difficult task and more worthy of praise. Yeah, she's a great basketball player but don't forget to compare oranges to oranges.
You can say the same for a lot of records.For example: Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs in 154 game season.Everyone else had 162 games.Or that Barry Sanders broke Walter Peyton's rushing record in a 16 game season.Where as Payton,had a 14 game season.Records are made to be broken.There are a few that will never be broken though.Such as Cy Young's 511 lifetime wins as a pitcher.Or Ty Cobb's,lifetime .367 batting average.Those two, will stand till the end of time.
Can’t wait for her to get to Indiana!
Well she's here.There are videos on youtube of her practices,with the Fever team.
Simply THE BEST....Clark...
is she better than Taurasi of UCONN HUSKIES????? Compare those 2 simply the best Taurasi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Better than all the rest!
@@jeffrey-me9by Wrong.Who is the all time leading scorer in NCAA history? Caitlin Clark! that's who! Not Taurasi.
She’s got mad range and can dribble well and pull up without help. Actually reminds me of Steph Curry but a woman version.
I saw Sabrina live for her college years and it's the same thing, there is a gene for a kind of bizarre no fear no doubt state. Kobe and Sabrina recognized that in each other and bonded.
Paige Bueckers next!
Who? Never heard of her.
Already the GOAT
Well done 💯👍👍👍👍💯
You lost men when you started comparing her to men...leave that alone, it's a different game.
I've found the man that can explain for all men. Hail King Mansplainer 😂😂😂😂
Luke Doncic said she's a better shooter than he is.
@@SpookyApparition Simple ass kissing. She's a terrific female player. I love watching her, but as so often nowadays, sycophants compare women to men in sports, it's not fair to the women.
If she can be compared to men then she is a BEAST.
thats right men could care less about an overated woman just beacuse she does not wear makeup why is everybody so hung up on the waering eyelashes and make up that does not affect how a player performs get off of it
She's amazing. As someone who has a daughter who is a stud athelete, I appreciate the positive attention she is bringing to women's sports. I hope that this opens up more opportunities for females to make a good living playing sports should they put in the hard work to become excellent.
The only thing I tire of is some people talking about how she might do playing against the men. She's 6ft tall and like 155lbs... and doesn't have testosterone... it is a ridiculous comparison. Its like how Serena Williams wouldn't even beat the 100 ranked male but that doesn't mean she isn't one of if not the biggest tennis super stars on the planet.
Shes the goat undisputed
Look at those empty stands at home games get freshman year. My how things changeddd
They should not change the eligible rules to the WNBA. It was those changes that ruined the mens NCAA, and ruined many young men not ready to compete sgainst fully developed men. And the emphasis of being students, which i believe is vital to prepare the men for when the NBA dream is over, for many early.
The major argument against staying in college was they were not getting paid while there. Now with NIL they have no reason to leave for the draft early. Men’s college basketball will probably try to extend the time athletes have to stay in college now that they are being paid.
She got men searching for her highlights, she's already the goat
Desperate nerds that buy into whatever fad they're told is cool at the moment.
Greatest all-time #1
even against Diana Taurausi of UCONN HUSKIES? The girl is not even tall and caannot rebound and play defense plus you are saying better than Swoopes,Staley Sue Bird and others? Think again I think last time I counted Diana had 3 championships so how is she greatest all time? has she won any championships or had other great caliber plaers playing with her like at UCONN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@jeffrey-me9by Breanna Stewart left UCON with 4 NCAA titles and 2 player of the year awards. She is absolutely the best NCAA player
Every sporting person sees her stroke and it’s undeniable. It’s also extremely impressive how she carries a team with her overall stats…those are some GAUDY overall stat lines. Even if that was your only goal, that’s really hard to do for men or women. But they win games too. Playing for the championship.
Also very crucially, it’s an inspirational thing with young girls, for them to see men and women alike genuinely respect a female ball player to THIS degree. I’m usually not cheesy like that, but it’s very legit praise, not fake, so that has to mentioned as that extra kick that is making her skyrocket as a brand, I think.
can you make one on dj burns that would be fire 🔥🔥
Comparing men's against woman's it not the same. The competition is way different
She is gifted by God
She the only wnba player I know.
Caitlin has accomplished so much . Beast
Love this girl! Will be watching all Indiana Fever games!.
YES!!
I was the best jump shooter the coach was white my wood shop teacher I was the best jump shooter. Later nother story.i was dunking 9 grade summertime.i as benched a lot. My pe couch couldn't understand. I wonder 🤔
I think she would be a terrific shooting guard in the WNBA. Not a point guard, as her ball handling isn't good enough at that level. Love her attitude, and her vision. Strange rotation on her shot, but has managed to make it work extremely well.
Wow, she is not a point guard?? Let's see you play at her level.
Read what I said.@@pyap9779
She led the country in assists at least twice. She's a natural point guard, the best I've ever seen.
@@prusso329 I didn't say she wasn't good at passing, did I? Larry Bird, Maravich, etc were also great passers. You don't have to be a point guard. But her long range shooting ability is even more valuable. Lugging the ball and shooting is too much with a WNBA schedule.
All that and no tattoos, how could she not me the GOAT.
As far as i can see she already is the Greatest of all time.
you must be blind
The WNBA is the charity league compared to NCAAW pay for their stars
Yes
She really is an inspiration
The fact I don't watch basketball im from new zealand and I'm watching this would suggest she's already a star.
