Catlin clark you do your thing girl ❤
She's one of four players in history to have over 60 points and 20 assists in their first four games and people are saying she's a dud. As a rookie, four games in, she's pretty much taken over the team and they're adapting to her fast paced style. Hang on haters, it's about to go down!
Without much time to gel with the team with the lack of time between college and the WNBA season. She's gonna be just fine, but her importance to the game is crazy.
@@sickosportspodcast her importance is she is the big draw, other players may be better or as good as her but people other than their family and friends don't care about them. People want to see her shooting the lights out from deep three. They can't understand that, or refuse to.
@@rap3208when is that gonna happen??! 😂🤣 and to say no one cares about the other woman is why people hate CC's fans.. y'all are super delusional
Compare her stats with last year's #1 pick and rookie of the year, and you'll see how ridiculous the turd people are.
You forgot 29 turnovers. You can't praise one thing and overlook others. -16 when she's on the court. Style points don't win games as you can see all it does is have you blaming everyone else because you like their style so much.
They are defending her like nobody else and she is adjusting to it. If she doesn’t go 35,10,10 in every game her haters are saying she is a bust. Come on!
Lmao. Her fans were saying she's bust. 😂🤦🏽♀️
Not true...she sucks
Caitlin first blew up in the tournament last year because she was doing 40 pt games & then Iowa beat the undefeated South Carolina. The record views were from that. Then it blew up even more with the LSU game & Angel Reese.
Her first games of her next season weren't nationally televised. They started airing them because she was causing attention. She broke the viewing records of every national network her games aired on during the regular season. She also broke the women's & Pete Maravich's scoring record before the NCAA tournament even started.
Her rematch with Angel Reese & LSU was a big part of it and the increase in views was astronomical. But people were tuned in then and the ratings didn't decrease, they increased. They just didn't increase as much as they did for the LSU game.
The expectations on Caitlin are completely insane. You are right that fans & the media want her to be superhuman. The league itself does not. It has been growing on it's own. Caitlin just came in & supercharged it. They recognize that she is a rookie and is going to have growing pains. They want the attention but they want the league to be sustainable. The league is taking advantage of the spotlight she brings to also shine attention on other teams & players. It's why Aces games are scheduled right after Indiana games on national television.
Caitlin will get much better and will be a superstar. She's got the skills. She just needs time to adjust. But fans and the media will also adjust as they see more & more of the talent in the wnba and the attention will spread out more. You're already seeing it with the attention on the other rookies like Angel Reese & Cameron Brink. Kate Martin has the 2nd most popular jersey at the moment. We've seen a very similiar thing with the USWNT and the NWSL. People came for the national players after a world cup win & then stayed for their team. It just takes some time.
Best comment I’ve read on CC as well as the WNBA. As good as CC is (and she is GOOD) instead of people recognizing that the WNBA is REALLY talented! CC fans trash refs, teammates, coaches. I hope the spotlight of CC allows spectators to see the talent of other women in the league.
Let her play she does all a team player first not job or act like a Basketball player should look 👀 what she did it was rude not sportsmanship and she was tiontuing that not a good who respect it
She has it that why the players did like her she better all around over them One a sport becomes money over playing the game the way the rules our not how the referee calls bad calls
You are an excellent storyteller. You've just gained a new subscriber.
Thank you so much!
PERFECTLY SAID!!! 🙌🙌
I hope the Fever don't end up with the first pick in next years draft. I really hope they get better
Same! I'm rooting for them for sure
The whole team has to get better, better shooting, better screens, knowing when to just shoot, and when to go to the basket, they can only get better now!!
Dude, you and a few other are the only ones I feel that keep thing in 💯 👍👍, but also blame it on the media. They put all that pressure on her.
Luckily she said she doesn’t engage in social media
Someone needed to take that pressure in order to save the WNBA
@@bartell20j incremental increases by 16% in any business it's great business Caitlin Clark just bought a different element which sped up the process. Anybody in business tell you they won't take a 16% increase in this day and time year over year is a liar. This surge will allow the WNBA to start at least paying for themselves thank you to Caitlin largely and the rest of the draft class. We should be thanking Caitlin and Angel because without a villain and a hero most of us would not be here you take your pick on which one you like.
Thank you so much for breaking this down for ppl . She is carrying the whole league on her shoulders ! 👏
CC22 is a beast on the court and is AWESOME💕
By far the best breakdown of this CC experience 💯
He had me until he got the viewership numbers dead wrong and he started making some incorrect points and I tuned out.
Tim Duncan have 5 championships nobody ever talked about them his basketball was ugly but fundamental and produced results a player like Caitlin is a phenomenal shooter that's where it ends when teams run her off the three-point line now she's more liable to turn the ball over. She sneaks in the points when she can but her style don't result in wins.
@@hottrakz When the Fever finally accept that this is her team, and that they are only role players, then the Fever will be hard to beat. But, the rest of the team, including the coach, have to turn over the reigns to CC and let her play her game. Then, and only then, will the Fever be a very dangerous team.
@@accucadd here we go with the wishful thinking and hypotheticals I only deal with what is. Everybody is up against the same challenges there's no excuses if people know that they are not good enough they need to stop praising prematurely
@@hottrakzit will when her teammates get use to her passes
The fever hasn’t been good since they lost their number one player Tamika Catchings when she retired in 2016…they not only got the number 1 pick last year but the year before the number 2 pick…their entire team is majority players that has only been playing in the league for 1-3 years with only 3-4 players with 4 to 8 years of experience playing in the league and even then those veterans are the bench players.
The rest are their starters and subs with the exception of Kelsey who has been playing for 6 years the rest all just 1-3 years…oh and Katie Lou 4 years but don’t know if you can truly say 4 years when she took a whole year off to have her baby…
All facts💯
Should be thanking her not hate on her.
OMG, he's totally NOT hating! He's explaining the story. Hush and listen!
@@Pucci_D didn’t say he was
I think the elite 8 against lsu had 12.3 million views with a peak of 16 million then final four against UConn had 14.2 million with peak of 17 million and finals against uscarolina had 18.7 and peak of 24
Correct!
@@user-zd7ko1ei3khe not correct cause y’all talking about this year not last year when Iowa played lsu in the championship that’s wat took her higher
@@AllanteHarvey the podcaster was talking about this years tournament
@@shawnsherwood2025 but wat he was talking about was wat he thought her popularity came from which it was after the champion ship game against LSU when Reese did the John cena back at CC
@@AllanteHarvey ok hvl even addressed this… cc did not do it to hvl and what does that have to do with Reese… I took exception to Reese stalking her all over the court to do it at the end of the game… would have been fine to do it in passing but to follow her around to do it was classless… but the podcaster specifically was talking abt ratings during this years tournament as he mentioned lsu then UConn then usc.. which was this years path for iowa
Excellent point on last year’s game. I agree it helped then but she’s a bona fide stud now. Great video
Absolutely agree.
Very well done I couldn’t agree more
You earned yourself another subscriber. This was spot on!
Thank you so much!
You got so much class my man! HOOK EM HORNS!!! The shows dood too!
😊good
I just stumbled upon this video, and I to have say that you got this down to a tea. I can understand that not everyone is going to like Clark. That LSU vs Iowa match helps divide fans on who their favorite is. In the end, these players are doing something that we would’ve never thought would happen, and that is to no longer consider the WNBA as an afterthought
We love CC #22, let's go. ❤
When a person is put on a pedestal there is no unfair expectations. You are 100% correct they felt sorry for her because she has a phenomenal game and still lost and her aggression was thrown back in her face by Reese. Caitlin Clark's popularity has to catch up with her skills or her story will come to a horrible end if she don't make adjustments.
This is the most eloquently put explanation of the Caitlin Clark phenomenon......no way this will sustain, because it's more about the story and not the on court product.
Last seconds. Heavily guarded... Wheres the team?
With the 1st pick in the 2025 wnba draft the Indiana Fever select Paige Buckets Bueckers 💯
Imagine that 😳
We all understand. I'm from Iowa but never watched a single w game. I watch her because she is good. It's pretty simple.
Good job young man, spot on. I've checked out the scheduling done by the "W" and what they did to the "cash cow". Its terrible. Only team to play7 games in 12 days, 5 of those against the top 3 teams from last year. Playing the best team with no rest. They want Clark and the Fever to fail, want Clark to look as bad as possible. Most of the rest of the teams have played 4 games in that same timeframe. You tell me what is going on.
Great analysis. Well said and just look at your views. People are hungry for anything Caitlin and Kate Martin. It will take at least 3 seasons for Indiana to be competitive. Look at all the NBA star's careers. I just hope people keep paying attention. The WNBA is about 3 levels less exciting than the NBA and it's hard to watch at times.
She's already 12th in fantasy points, despite her coach and team, and she's only getting started-
For me personally I blame ESPN for this. They were force feeding fans with Caitlin during last season in college. Some fans got fed up. Because every time you are watching a different college women game, they are talking about her. And the worst thing they did was calling her the goat.
congratulations for clear thoughts and to how arw exposed
You're wrong about the ratings. Uconn and SC much highers
Let's be honest...the media created a savior that has a skillset more similar to JJ Reddick than Steph Curry. And now we are all witnessing it unravel.
Tell us you know nothing about basketball without telling us you know nothing about basketball.
@@accucadd She doesn't have great ball handling, doesn't shoot the ball going to the right, doesn't have a midrange game, doesn't finish at the basket well, no post game, turnover prone, and struggles to create offense off the dribble against decent defenders. This is why she's struggling in a league where players have quick lateral movement unlike the majority of unathletic kids she faced in college playing in the Big 10. Go sit down somewhere.
@@JaeRellFacts but trust me bro...they don't want to actually talk basketball..they wanna talk about ticket sales, ratings, college success and a bunch of other stuff that has nothing to do with breaking down her game
Cheryl Miller didnt play in the W fool. He don't know shit just pandering 🤦🏿♂️
You can't cry it's unfair when that's what her fans wanted. 🤦🏽♀️
however, consider love, win or loose. It is greater and deeper than hate.
100% thank you for the comments 🙏
Stay tune people, More CC EXCUSES TO COME. WE TOLD YOU BUT YOU WERE TO ARROGANT TO LISTEN. I LOVE THE USA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You have to remember that her fame is built off two things Battling with angel Reese and hitting long three pointers. Now she’s in the nba and angel Reese isn’t there every game to keep that battle in peoples minds and also Caitlin is not hitting the three pointer at the same clip she did in college. Also you have to realize that in college everyone basically have her space to shoot the ball cause they didn’t believe she could make the shit. Now everyone knows she make the shot and now players are actually guarding her. On top of that she doesn’t have a midrange jumper game and she’s not strong enough to drive to the basket and score with contact. So there you have it.
You are wrong, the Iowa vs SC game FAR surpassed the LSU game, look it up. JP
You are so right! I just looked it up again, and it says of all time, but the date was after the game before the national championship game. Thanks for the correction, and thanks for watching 👍
@@sickosportspodcast Her popularity is/was not central to that story. It is a nice meme, just not true. Her play, breaking 45 WNCAA records, most points in a college career male or female, 2nd all time in assists, only player male or female to have a 30 pt triple double, and it was actually 40 pts. The logo threes, a logo three from deeeep, to break the all time women’s record, against Michigan, dropped 49 that game. So much more. If anything, that game elevated Angel Reese. Caitlin had a 60 point game her junior year in HS. Her fame was destiny defined by so many things, including her ridiculous passing ability, stretching the floor ignoring the shot clock, and out possession their opponents. Iowa averaged 90+ points a game her senior year, and lead the nation. It was must see tv, and sold out games at home and on the road. JP
While there are similarities with her game and Steph Curry with the ability to pull up from anywhere I think that's where it ends Steph Curry moves around a lot without the ball and although he is not super athletic as far as jumping he moves fast and his handle is superb caitlin's handle is average and she doesn't move without the ball she only limits herself to the three and that's why she was not able to close the deal in college this is just a fact about basketball unbiased no hate. You are correct with the storyline and the championship game because that is where America was forced to take sides because this happened in America it became more of a black and white thing because of all of the tension and this allowed big companies to cash in including the NBA they don't care about the controversy as long as they sell tickets. Caitlin Clark's effect naturally looks larger because her demographic is larger white America is the largest percentage of people in the country at 70% again this is not a racist statement it's just a fact although there are racists in that 70%. Black people make up 16% of the population so when you look at that attendance at games there's only going to be a limited number because not all black people like sports.
Imagine how different these videos would be if she was 5-0 lol it wouldn’t be a burden then..👀
Exactly. They put this on her bc they wanted her to come in embarrassing all these players. She also fed into it. I have no patience for this unfair shit. Tired of the Caitlin shit.
she's gr8 her coach not
Nah. People will be fans. Women's basketball will be on an upward trend because people are gonna find out they can ball too. Plus there are others behind Caitlin coming. JuJu Watkins will be another one people are looking for. Chloe Kitts and MiLaysia Fulwiley of the Gamecocks are others to name. There are more. I forget the one kid that can dunk. Everything was good until what you said at the end.
I hope so. Like I said, maybe the casual fan who is just tuning in comes for Clark but becomes fans of the other players as well. And yeah, JuJu Watkins is a special talent as well 👏 appreciate your comment.
@@sickosportspodcast I play myself and watch a lot of the player development part of it. I don't expect WNBA to fail. Clark will be fine. It'll take a bit to get Boston and Clark to gel. I'm expecting a lot of high chemistry to happen and the Clark will have to play without the ball in her hands. And it is not to say she shouldn't run point. Game is faster at the pro level. Kate Martin that plays for the Aces now said it best. Faster game.
And Hannah Hidalgo.
@brycesmith2331 I appreciate your opinion. You definitely seem like you know a lot about the WNBA, and voices like yours are important to their growth.
So, in essence, what you're saying is that peoplr just don't care about women's basketball. And if women, talented women in basketball, can't get audience, why is that?
Dude in one breath you talk about all the expectations of her how is so unfair. And then in the next breath you talk about how she feels up arenas number one in Jersey sales bring an eyeballs to the game. And when women of the WNBA had said she's going to have a learning curve guess what Fanboys you jealous you're hating. So you can blame yourself and the media people who live in the real world knew that this would happen so you Fanboys stop talking reckless putting a Target on that girl's back
CC must learn to play team ball. The problem is she’s trying to shine. But she must learn how to play within her team. Remember Jordan came into the league as an excellent player but his team didn’t start winning until Jordan became a team player. We must remember it takes a team to win. Give CC realistic expectations!😉
You are 100% correct, i lack Caitlin Clark but its white people put all that pressure on that young lady, she is going to be a star but it going to take time look at Cameron Brink, Rickea Jackson, Angel Reese, Kamilla Cardoso, Aaliyah Edwards, all of these young ladies are going to be star. Washington Mystics- 0 and 4, Chicago Sky- 1 and 3, but C.B, R.J, A.R, K.C, A.E is having fun.
Can’t promote and make better with a loosing coach and a loosing team
Girl from Da Moan, Iowa? 😂.
Actually, she's from West Des Moines.
Have you ever been? I heard it's great
@@sickosportspodcast Yeah. It's a town in Iowa, so take from that what you will.
@@sickosportspodcast I'm from Des Moines, so yeah, I've been there many times. It's a suburb. Pretty well to do for the most part.
@@alsimon4722 it looks like a beautiful place to live.
What a wonderful player, who has been hijacked by a nefarious system.
She is MAKING $30MILLION she needs to step it up she’s not playing like she’s worth that money
That is from outside gigs, her four-year contract is $338,000, about 84,000 a year.
@@rap3208 Womp womp womp imagine going to college to only make $80,000 a year what a loser
She’s playing pretty well for a rookie in my opinion
@@tootsx8675 leads the league in turnovers and hasn’t won a game ZERO WINS is not doing good. This is the product of over hype and marketing her skills are subpar just like all of the wnba
Anybody remember Peyton Manning from the Indianapolis Colts? He still holds the record for most interceptions in their rookie year. I didn't and nobody will remember 10 measly turnovers either.
Hello, what's there record.
