Women be their own worst enemy
Nah you can’t lead in turnovers n shoot under thirty percent and think that’s good enough 😮💨
@@vlong5710 Nah, if Diana Taurasi made it to the US Olympics roster right out of college in her WNBA rookie year, this isn't about turnovers. Caitlin is good enough and the same conditions existed in the past where Taurasi made it.
@@vlong5710 yeah better take a man who played 1 game in 3 years
@@vlong5710she is also the hardest guarded player in the WNBA and has had the most blitzes by far come her way...If they guarded other stars like that those star would also have very high turnovers...on top of that she is a rookie learning a new gane at the same time...context
@@vlong5710lebrons led the league in turnovers. Hardens led the league in turnovers. Westbrooks led the league in turnovers. Charles barkley led the league in turnovers his rookie season. CC is 1 of 2 WNBA players to average 15/5/5.
I do agree that her coach should not have repeated what was said in private.
The coach is a dummy
Coach got to play media games just like everyone else.
This isn’t a fair and balanced panel. If you dislike Catilyn this is channel is for you.
So, if you dont think she should be on the olympic team, you dont like her....smh...nobody in this chat knows her personally.
No I like here but folks like yall made into a god like figure and it’s not fair towards the other players and rookies I’m not tuning in for catlin angel Reese had caught my attention not catlin
@@Tri.dawg1 I'm sure she did
The young lady is upset because CC expressed to her coach that a giant is awoken. So silly.
She definitely has an issue with Caitlin Clark but she made some actually good points.
Since you made this decision not to have Caitlyn Clark included, we never wanna hear you complain about being underpaid again.
The Olympic team isn’t the WNBA. You do understand that right? They don’t even get paid to play on the Olympic team.
😂😂😂
Exactly. Fighting progress as hard as they can. How dumb is that.
lol Their WNBA contracts dont change if CC plays an Olympic game..... That goes to NBC pockets.
Neither does a player who hasn't played a minute of BBall this year. For the record, I'm okay with CC not making the team, but it's a pity. To add that the reasoning is "her fans won't accept her being on the bench" I hope that's not true. Geez as I type and listen... what a bunch of BS being said.
The problem I have with this lady is she seems real upset about this. Like why are you so agressive about this. Caitlin said what she said. Who cares about Alia Boston and rubbing "people" the wrong way. 😂
She gets irate with the quickness. Her whole demeanour shows how it irritates her.
I’m convinced Natalie despises Caitlin!! It’s embarrassing. You say something positive and she ALWAYS finds the negative. No one rolled their eyes at the awoken a monster comment! How is that considered privileged. Quit weaponizing this reverse privilege concept. It’s so untrue. This is all a sports thing this is a basketball thing. QUIT trying to switch this to a race or women’s thing. Natalie keeps this in a petty place. The eye rolling constantly is so indicative of why this is just a toxic situation. Quit acting like Caitlin is just a regular player. She is the All time leading scorer in all of college. Natalie you need to read the room. Your focus is totally on the minor picture.
Reverse you joking to reverse something it has to be Blacks don't have privilege in this nation they lucky they able to breath.
Well said... spot on....
Cause Becky is beating her in life. Becky probably stole her man or scholarship. Shout out to Becky keep hating Keisha🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It is so obvious this woman is a hater. She’s rolling her eyes and speaks very condescending.
I’m so sick of this narrative that she hasn’t “earned” the spot when we already have prior examples of rookies making the team that haven’t earned it either. The hate on Clark is ridiculous.
I Swear To Baby Jesus.. watching this woman roll her eyes listening to Caitlin Say They Woke A Monster.. " That tells you all you need to know about how these women fell about Caitlin" The nerve of her being offended she is not on the team " WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!..
You're a really bad writer.
@@kingtrawal🏆🏆🏆🏆
@@kingtrawal Maybe, but I had no problem digesting his point that Natalie is bitter and sounds mad about this and comes off looking really bad. Like ma'am.....you're supposed to be an objective reporter and are out here getting offended for other players? It's bizarre bro. Hope this helps!
Entitlement! Entitlement is when you deliberately push a player down while calling her a bitch when the ball isn’t even play! Quit with your race card bs
She is clearly a CC hater
So glad to hear the black racist perspective from Natalie.
Checkmate!!!
There is no such thing as a black racist
Hey……imma tell you… I need to see some other work or something…. Natalie definitely sounds like that….
Now I definitely do understand with her and what she is trying to do and point shit out
Don't worry.......plenty of other podcasts worshipping your little white queen and hating on black players who are better...
Cry me some white tears!!!
She is so biased about Caitlin Clark. Her mannerisms, facial expressions are ridiculous. Every time they said something positive about Caitlin Clark she rolled her eyes. Every time they said something negative she not at her head yes and smile... You can't make this ish up... Just say you don't like her I will respect that more... And what the hell is Brittney griner doing on the team..
Stop hiding the fact. You just dont like her
dat chick stay hating her
No matter who we are what we do we will always hv those who hate . There's nothing no one can do that's life no matter who u are. 💯 can't make ppl like u FACTS JUST SAYING
She's just not good. She definitely not great but not even good. She wouldn't make any wnba roster if not for her name.
Like Charles said, "Them girls be petty"
Them girls he talking about are not on the selection committee
Whoever this lady is I can do without her on this show
She’s a CC hater thru and thru. She justifies Chennedy Carters foul as “that’s just Carter”. Shes awful.
I know because she speaks the truth and yall fanboys cant handle the truth
@@Bluejacket4life2 naw just sounds like a hater. Good try though 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Because she’s spitting facts?
@@TT-tp9hwTypical bitter BW
HERE ARE THE FACTS.
Rookies have been on the Olympic team before : REBECCA LOBO IN 1996, DIANA TAURASI IN 2004, CANDACE PARKER IN 2008 AND BREANNA STEWART IN 2016.
Here is the average list of their first 12 games rookie year (in fairness to Clark who played 12 games so far).
YEAR HEIGHT FG% 3P% FT% TRB AST STL BLK PTS
REBECCA LOBO 1997 6'4 0,33 0,21 0,68 8,17 1,92 1,08 1,67 11,83
DIANA TAURASI 2004 6'0 0,45 0,42 0,81 3,42 3,83 1,25 0,75 18,25
CANDACE PARKER 2008 6'4 0,47 0,38 0,74 9,58 4,08 1,58 2,25 16,75
BREANNA STEWART 2016 6'4 0,42 0,19 0,84 9,75 2,92 1,08 2,08 16,33
CAITLIN CLARK 2024 6'0 0,36 0,32 0,90 5,33 6,33 1,50 0,92 16,83
As you can see Caitlin Clark is a better free throw shooter, highest in assist, 2nd in PTS, 2nd in STL, 3rd in 3P%, and a better rebounder and shotblocker than Taurasi at the same height. A way better than Rebecca Lobo (who had 0 game in WNBA during the 1996 Olympic) in all categories except TRB.
These haters just turn a blind eye to facts.
They won championship in college
@@mark21484ifyPlease read what are the requirements for being selected to Olympic team. Being a champion is not in the list. It's an individual assessment. In fact, CC was invited to training camp before her college graduation but couldn't participate because of the NCAA Tournament.
Don't forget she is number one in turnovers or do we overlook that?😊
@@iveyyancy2438Using turnovers to discredit the achievement of a player is such a weak argument. Look at the great point guards of the NBA, TOs are common to them. Haven't you noticed that when ranking players like in NBA they don't show their turnovers.
So far this season, every game Clark plays averages about 17K in attendance. Every game in the WNBA Clark is NOT playing averages about 7K in attendance.
There is nothing new about naming rookies to Team USA. Tarusi, Parker and Stewart were all named to the Olympic team in their first year. None of them have the impact AT ANY TIME during their successful careers that Clark has in her first 12 games.
The WNBA should have demanded that Clark was on the roster, to continue to bring light to a league that is on need of it.
It is a STUPID, STUPID, STUPID decision to leave Clark off the Olympic team.
Just continues to show that the WNBA is NOT ready for Prime Time.

What has she done to deserve the spot? The Olympics is about winning, not popularity
@thedon7256 it's about growing the game and getting better pay
@@TyBeTroLLing This is the Olympics. It's about winning and the team should be selected based on meritocracy
Bro, the wnba has no say on how the team is picked. Also you don't have any idea whether they did try to get her on the team.
And yet she is guarded like a top12player
She's guarded like a player that is turnover prone. They guard her like that because A she can shoot and B she turnovers the ball an ungodly amount and C it's an effective strategy because she's one dimensional

So CC doesn’t deserve to play on the Olympic team yet 2 girls do who have less than a game played this season? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly, make it make sense
It’s a 3 year tryout. Don’t be intentionally obtuse.
Yes. Chelsea Gray is the best PG in the world. Griner is the best big not named A'ja Wilson in the world. If you actually watched the games before CC was in the league you'd know that.
She gonna play on the Olympic team she just an alternate. I'm sure her fans will bomb the Olympics team plane if she is not on it. So what she wasn't selected for the first team she's the first injury alternate for the guards and it's already a guard injured so relax.

Bill Burr said before everything I could ever say now
This lady talks about her following the WNBA, yet she thinks Skyler diggins was a snub when Skylar Diggins didn’t even want to participate this year
Caitlin needs to accept the offer to play for Canada!!
True 💯 It was sad to hear other women playing for other countries just to participate in the Olympics. You have the players who have won gold 4,5,6,7 times. When is the other players turn? 😢
I'm Canadian, I wish she would!
Caitlin is in the top 10 guards in five different categories including (ppg, 3 pt made, assists, rebounds, steals, and blocks). She has a legit claim to MVP so far. So let's get rid of the "she can't play at the Olympic level" argument.
Lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ok
Clark averaged 30 points/game in College.. for 4 straight years. Nobody on the Women's Olympic Team is anywhere near that type of dominating scorer.
🏆🏆🏆🏆
@@OmahaSand A "30 points per game" stat is one that isn't hard to achieve especially when one takes most of team shots(see Pete Maravich's record at LSU playing for his father in a "football-oriented conference") and the shots are mainly "3 pointers."
@@MickyTubbs1985 If 30 pts game/avg .. every game for 4 straight ytears.. was easy to achieve.. Marovich's record wouldn't have stood for 54 years.. Sounds like you never played basketball.

I'm guessing you don't know that the WNBA doesn't pick the U.S. Olympic Team. You might be delusional enough to think the NBA selected the players who will play in Paris. USA Basketball picked the squads, not the NBA or WNBA.
Bruh........the wnba doesn't pick the Olympic team 🤣
@Freerider93 not the point
@@7beachbum it doesn't matter who picks the squad all of the players are from the wnba it's a no-brainer to pick her
@@7beachbum if the top players want her she’s on the team. The only reason anyone is talking women basketball is CC. A perfect opportunity to grow globally.
They're missing the point. So when viewership for USA Women's Basketball at the Olympics is low, and 6 people from the press show up for press conferences after the games, I don't want to hear any complaints from these folks...
It’s ALWAYS high chill out. CC will have her time and now isn’t it. The women’s team is even harder to crack and team USA did her a favor by not rolling her out and getting exposed. In 4 years she will be the belle of the ball and then yall can be happy. Her time is coming it’s just not now. She was the queen of college and rightfully so, but in the pros she’s an inexperienced rookie and is being treated accordingly.
Team USA Wball coverage is ALWAYS high😂😂 y'all newbies don't even try to think before saying nonsense
@@peteharper4320 It's been high for the gold medal game only since the 2012 Olympics (11-12 million). It only averaged just over 1 million for the rest of the games. They had an opportunity to get gold medal game numbers for every televised game, not to mention marketing, jersey sales etc... I'm not saying that CC is a top 12 player in the WNBA (she isn't) but she's moving the needle in a significant way. Use that to your advantage so everyone can get shine and get paid in the long run.
@@derrellconnor693 I commented the same thing on another page because I can make an argument for both. If they would have put her on the team it definitely would have been a ratings/money boom, but I feel this is better for CC as a player. The money is most definitely the American way and I’m surprised they didn’t go that route, but team USA choosing merit doesn’t mean she was snubbed like most are saying.

There are a number of players who should have been considered. A 42 year old and a player who has not played a game this season raises serious questions as to how they choose this team. The #1 pick has historically been on the team for both men and women. No player under 26 on the team is scary.

No one is doing it and the first person that will take that spot on her team will become the second biggest WNBA player of all time. They money is RIGHT INFRONT OF THEM
But the coach wasn’t asked about Aliyah Boston.
This hysteria from the CC cult is insane. You aren’t going to extort people into giving Caitlin something that she hasn’t earned by threatening not to watch unless she plays. Don’t watch then. That’s not how we’re conducting business here. She is not one of the best players in the league right now. She’s downright terrible at defense, so other teams would take advantage of that. She’ll likely improve but she’s not there yet.
STOP it.
You hate CC bc she is white. We get it
Man from day 1 these women were called butch, lesbo league every negative word in the book. I use to say from back then the only reason people are saying that is because it’s majority black. Then even black people started agreeing. I didn’t hear about Miller and Swoops and Leslie wasn’t good. It was they wasn’t feminine looking enough. No support from any side. That was an insult right there. The star power and play declined a bit but the talent pool got some what overall better because of the popularity of basketball as a whole. High school and the collegiate level improved. Now they have CC and she fits the profile that the white audience can get behind . Yes she is talented and can play this game. But is it really star power or support?! The WNBA and NBA wrong for not showing support for straight players and Family play from the start. If it’s all inclusive market it equally. Maybe that wouldn’t have turned away a lot of core traditional American values and attract more viewers.
I’m just calling it straight down the middle.
Yup, they went for catering to the minority because they're the majority in their small (basketball) world. This demographic just doesn't understand that the average sports enthusiast is pro religion, pro america, pro modesty, and anti ghetto. They keep going "DEY DUN LIKE ANGEL REESE" without realizing it's because she's all hip hoppy, gelling her hair down, with giant cumbrella eyelashes, speaking ebonics and kneeling for the anthem. Her values do not attract normal people to her. Such behavior only attracts the poor, ghetto people who do not contribute to the league or society...and college aged white girls trying too hard to be 'supportive of lgbt women of color' lmao. If we want to attract the real bulk of sports fans, it's not going to be by pandering to the hypersensitive gay and black crowd.
She had a choice if she dont like it she has other opportunities
but a forty year old deserves it, someone injured who hasn't played for a year and is still injured today and someone who was in prison last year. I prefer you tell the truth the problem is the color
It’s not the color it’s that she has the same fan base as kyle rittenhouse and nick Fuentes

Caitlin Clark being denied a spot on the USA Women’s Basketball Team is not only a short-sighted nonsensical business decision but a BIG L for women’s basketball not only in the United States but also globally! If this current roster is the USA Women’s Basketball Olympic Committee’s final decision, no one should ever open their mouth about how unfair it is that women basket ball players are not being paid, and treated equally compared to their male counterparts. You had your chance but because of ignorance, pettiness, and jealousy, you blew it! There is no one else to blame but yourselves! We don’t want to hear anymore of your whinning!
Olympic athletes are NOT paid. This is the Olympics not the WNBA. The viewership for the Olympics is international and many of the US players will have played European or SE Asian professional basketball and will be well-known outside the US.
Natalie rolling her eyes is annoying to the segment. She has no respect for the opinions of other. She’s right about the other players being snubbed, but do it with class. ❤

The WNBA and womans basketball in general had a tremendous opportunity and completely dropped the ball. This isn’t being “snubbed”, this is about bringing more viewers to womans basketball and more money. Caitlin clark is the most talked about athlete on planet earth right now. She is by far the best rookie in the wnba and 1 of two Wnba players to average at least 15/5/5.
Candace didn’t make in 2016, not last Olympics. And Rhyne Howard is playing for the 3x3 Olympic team. Why does Nat keep getting opportunities to speak about women’s basketball when she has no idea what she’s talking about?
interesting.....so why did previous teams have rookies that were college player of the year winners and top draft pick on the olympic teams? btw 1 girl on this team hasn't even played and Griner has barely played soooooo I'm confused on how they were chosen.
Candice Parker was rookie of the year and MVP and Geno a white man kept her off the Olympic team when he was in charge. She will get to play as an alternate if her fans will stop threatening everybody with sudden death.
That roster is loaded, not sure why Gray is there, can only assume she got hurt after tryouts, but they're still multiple people who'd be a better choice than Clark. She should take that time to rest up, Griner is a HOF so her level of play speaks for it's self , She's had two games and has been dominate in both. She's Easily Top 10-15 player when healthy. At worst she's the 3rd best center in the league.
And as far as Griner, I am very happy she’s on the team instead of Clark. She/he is the epitome of American representation. Swapping the international arms dealer for her/him was a complete no-brainer. I’m glad we got her/him back.
Give them drug tests. That will make room for her.
CC DID NOT DESERVE TO BE ON TEAM USA 🇺🇸 PERIOD! FEEL LIKE THE LARRY BIRD SITUATION! CC NEEDS TO EARN HER SPOT, NOT AWARDED A SPOT BASED UPON POPULARITY
Bobby Griner can go then.
That man hates America.
So would I like to see her sure. The committee needs to explain why they placed a player who has played one game and one who has not played any game due to injury.
They can drop three of those players and still win the Gold🤷🏿♂️There is no excuse here. Kamala Cardoso going to be leading Brazil 🇧🇷 . Come on the USA 🇺🇸 so stack

Her whole attitude betrays her. Katlin Clark has the most points of a rookie in WNBA history. Her stats are better then some on the Olympic team.

Love this show, but can we please have less of Natalie? Just a thought.
Let it be known that never in history have rookies been selected for USA Olympic squad
christian leitner in 1992 , Diana in 2004, candace parker in 2008, AD in 2012.
Did they "deserve it", on what basis exactly??
9 out of 10 gold medals which would be around a 30 year time span, what have those medals done for popularity
Doesn't dream team get credited for huge growth of NBA?
Laettner was only on the team because they had to have a college player and AD was only on the team because Blake Griffin got hurt so bad argument
So you're saying there weren't better players than AD at that time!?@@dramachannel2740
@@dramachannel2740bro he got picked over Shaq wtf you talking about?
@@THEDYLANMURPHY So ?
No the league was already grown up by Larry and Bird it expanded globally.
The 'problematic discourse' is really from Natalie, Jemele and others. It's about the Left's bitterness, anger and resentment. Everyone knows why they don't like her - race, politics and culture. Just like the Jokic debate over MVP, or Nick Bosa's comment on QB Hurts, or the rage towards Taylor Swift over the Kelce coverage at NFL games. It's just pure jealousy and racial spite (and it's transparent too). And since when have the DEI crowd cared about meritocracy and deservingness (that is the exact opposite of their 'equality of outcomes' leftist dogma). It makes great business sense to add her to the squad.
No he was thinking CC. Too funny 😂
I don't know how a know drug user and suspected drug trafficker can be on an Olympic roster representing a Nation that still considers Marijuana illegal and WADA that prohibits it use.
Do tell... call the FBI and report that trafficker so we can get CC on the team.
@@politicallil7060Do that she still won't be on the team. Arike the point guard from Dallas Wings would be on the team and she deserves it because of her play and not for pleasing Caitlin crying fans.
The same way a convicted felon of an ex president can still be the republican nominee and possibly be president of these United States? See how that works ?
Clark's stats are better than Taurasi's and certainly better than Griner's or Gray's. Clark is also the most double-teamed player in the WNBA, playing on the worst team in the WNBA, coming off a hard NCAA season, and playing for a coach that plays a plodding style, AND she is still successful in spite of all this! All this narrative that she isn't one of the top 12 players is utter baloney.
That was a really good perspective. The coach gotta do better
Few spectators watched the WNBA before CC came into the picture.
To the fern speaking on the right, no one cares what color the team is we care that the best players are out there. Caitlyn is already one of the best players in the wnba.
The WNBA analysts keep talking about basketball instead of the real topic which is BUSINESS...Yes CC isnt the best 12 in the US but guess what she's #1 in popularity and would drive ppl to watch and maybe see how good the other women on the team are. Now no one will watch them play in Paris because who cares
Ppl already tune in for the Olympics tho.
I dont understand this narrative of no one watching the Olympics? ITS THE OLYMPICS. Every country in the world is going to watch. We are not the only country that fields an Olympic team. It also does not make sense to not watch the W anymore bc of one player not making the team.
@Kingkofi23 when the Olympics is on you can watch any number of events...if CC is playing ppl would watch... with her off ppl will watch gymnastics or track and field or something else... decision is just bad business
CC is giving a clinic on how to handle the WNBA and her Haters!!👏
Natalie, you touched my heart, when you spoke of all the qualified women who were passed up for what would really be a once in a lifetime opportunity. They are all dedicated to being their best at the sport and your discussion makes it plain what a hard pill it is for many to swallow when their accomplishments are not recognized because the spotlight only can see Caitlin and even she dislikes being the only one in it. I pray for the league to rise above petty jealousies focused on for sensation by the media and the women can again concentrate on professional basketball and together making the WNBL popular here in the USA with many stars and fan favorites filling the seats.
When you say she didn't make it because she "didn't deserve" it, you have to understand that the selection committee asks the veterans on the team for their input... Isaih Thomas would've made the dream team if those vets didn't say they don't want to play with him. You really think DT didn't say something about CC to the committee lol
Natalie is killing her own argument without even realizing. She admitted that there were other girls who were snubbed off this team which therefore is also admitting that team USA didn't even pick the best 12 players to be on this team so since the best 12 players aren't even on this team it makes even less sense that Caitlin couldn't get a spot. Most ppl who support CC not being on this team are saying that she's not one of the 12 best players so she doesn't deserve to be there but the current roster isn't even the best 12 players anyway so that argument is null and void. THIS WAS JUST SMART BUSINESS and women's basketball messed it up.
She also pointed out the under 8 million viewers that tuned in to the finals game. Exactly why Caitlyn should be included to the roster. Ever since she joined the league, the viewership, ticket sales etc has tremendously increased. WNBA dropped the ball in this one, this was a missed opportunity for global recognition for the league.
I have never seen a league hate in unison like the WNBA is. This is honestly one of those rare types of unities that you see only during times of war.
I never seen a fan base threaten other players with death for not catching another player errant pass in a basketball game it is quite bazzar.
Stop the foolishess
Dawn Staley was a two time player of the year and snubbed from the Olympic Team in 1992. Research it yourself
Obviously CC hate!!! Why be so petty and telling.
This girl is a hater and brings nothing but jealousy and hate to this show. She makes it so hard to watch. This dude is now tap dancing too..
lol she has no business there
Also. I found the actual CC hater.
People keep saying Clark is important because she’s growing the league, but then turn around and ignore and talk down to all the other players while simultaneously disregarding every accomplishment all women’s basketball player has ever made.
Put it this way.. we only watching your video cause of CC..
And to add, no.. 90% of the people ain't familiar with the WNBA.. We just want to see CC period!
Like an analyst said, "I'd rather watch dirt move than the WNBA, if CC ain't playing'
Than its pointless to have you watch, fans like you dont grow the game, because u only care about 1 player.... youll leave soon enough, short term money current players wont see anyway.
Griner's a dude. But the most popular player in the world that could make the wnba relevant was SNUBBED. That league of missed layups is a circus.
They cry about money and leave the moneymaker off the team. The wnba can’t stay out of its own way. At this point I hope the league folds
Catlin Clark should have been on the team if you wanted to enhance the brand. That is the only point people are making. There are 12 spots. The 11th and 12th spots are not difference makers.
The 13th player is the Fans and they are screwing over the Fans!
The 12th spot went to a player that hasn't played all year lol
Its about winning not marketing
Enhance which brand? The Olympics or the W? Cause CC is already enhancing the WNBA brand imo.
@@dramachannel2740 since when?
They told no lies!
It is weird that, unlike with other issues in America, most men of all races seem to be supportive of Clarke, it's only amongst women where you get the divide.
Black women HATE CC
Clark should play for another country like many in American professional sports leagues do. She obviously won't, claiming she can use the time off.
Clark sells tickets that the other women don't and the WNBA needs all the shameless promotion it can get, so Team USA is stupid with this move.
But wonder why people don’t watch. It’s called marketing
You never watched
@@cruzinthruspaceI've only honestly only watched because of her.
If you don’t care about watching anyone else, what difference does it make. You don’t care about the WNBA, you just care about ONE player.
Oh hush you didn't give a dam about the league marketing is not a criteria for selection of it was the entire draft class would make up the team
@@politicallil7060what's the criteria then? Because I can promise you growing the game is a part of the way Olympic team goal.
Im glad they realized we dont hv to love those that hate us 😂😂😂😂😂 same energy FACTS
These women they keep having on these shows seem filled with anger and hate.
I was at the Mystics vs. the Fever game n DC last Friday night, I paid $200.00 to see a winless team play a 2 win team in the regular season game, and I along with over 20,000 others watched her and her magnetism is what was advertised.
All these little girls there from DC but with her Caitlin Clark jersey, she had a great game with 30 points and lots of assists and rebounds, but it went beyond the game.
After she signed some autographs, but many people did not even leave until she left, a solo player and then there was applause as she left. People just don't get it esp. women’s basketball leaving her off that roster just cost the USA million of viewers.
I won't be watching that team this summer. I'm more of a track fan, esp. long-distance running, but I was definitely going to watch BBall. This is opposite the Isiah Thomas debacle when he was left off. No one cared because of his poor sportsmanship in that Bulls defeat, and everyone wanted to see Jordan and the rest of the dream team. Thomas did have the resume to be on that team of course, but no cared at the time.
Is Caitlin Clark as a rookie one of the best 12 players, maybe, but Caitlin does have international experience and by the Olympics she will have grown as a player, she is making great strides every game.
She is a competitor and people around the world want to see her. But unlike the Dream Team with Isiah Thomas being left off, this will cost the USA not in victory since they have been dominant, but it will cost in other intangible ways like viewership which turns into dollars and popularity and growth.
But also remember the Dream Team had Christian Laettner, so this team could have had Caitlin Clark. I don't know how much I was bought into the hype before last night. But OMG, to experience it firsthand, she made me feel like a teenage girl groupie at a rock concert.
It's hard to explain, but she is "That Girl", and I am not a person easily impressed by other humans regardless of their status.
For this game last Friday, the Washington Mystics usually draw about 5,000 people per game and they usually play at a smaller arena, last Friday over 20,000 people game and many from the DC area but cheering for the Fever.
That game outdrew in capacity both games of the NBA Dallas vs. Boston. Tell when that has happened before, a WNBA game with a greater attendance than an NBA Final Game???????
The arrogance here is insane. I disagree with informed peoples opinions, I’m right, they’re wrong, they need to stop talking and listen to me.
Racism.
Whoever produces this show MUST get rid of Natalie. Her saying Aliyah Boston is playing worse this year because Caitlin is on the team was the straw that broke the camels back.
Brittany Griner is on the Team USA Olympic; a WNBC player that stated that she hates this country; what it stands for and she knees when the national anthem is played!
