I say it’s because she’s as good as she is number one. She shines both on and off the court. She’s the most selfless athlete I’ve seen. She isn’t self centered as these whiners are.
CC is going to be a mover and shaker, she's just getting started. This is a girl who took the WNBA by storm, and while all the old biddies were crying as she shattered their records, and hater like Devil Reese were moving on to the porn industry, she was busy spreading her fame to the golf course, drawing a whole new class of fans, and then making deals to buy her own soccer team, automatically guaranteeing a major audience for anyone wanting to sign her to a sporting line, but you have to bring a suitcase full of money now, her network of fans is spreading to all sports. She's not just the every day jock, she's a business women, who's as talented off court as she is on court.
Caitlin deserves that spot on Forbes, on the Time athlete of the year, and every other award she has received over the last 3 years. I used to say that she was going to need a room added onto her house to hold all of her trophies and medals, etc. but I was wrong, she's going to need a bigger house. The W is getting watched because of Caitlin.
@@survivrs It's sad to see these women act like spoilt brats.....none of them filled arenas even altogether....sorry but men don't behave like this ....for the love of the game!! Better contracts are coming for every player because of CC ,👏👏
in an olympic year, zero wnba athletes should be time athletes of the year. if you want a woman, go with simone biles, gabby thomas etc. etc. etc. etc. Averaging under 20 points a game and many turnovers per game while bringing viewership and excitement to a league that plays only 40 games is not athlete of the year worthy. this is a response to her being one of the most trending stories of the year, not the actual athlete of the year.
@@1bbbbbaaaaa She wasn't an Olympic athlete, but while you're at it, perhaps nobody else should be given the award who goes to the Olympics. That would include Simone, so no gymnasts should have been named athlete of the year either. You do know that Caitlin went from the regular season right into the NCAA tournament, playing all the way to the national championship game, right after that was the draft, and right after that she had to play 11 games in 20 days. She didn't even know her teammates or their plays yet, and yet she broke 62 records as a rookie. I don't have enough time to go through everything she did in college, but she broke just about every record that could be broken. She is a generational player.
@@survivrs my comment read, "in an olympic year, zero wnba players should be given athlete of the year" ... because olympic athletes are a far bigger draw than any wnba player regardless if they are generational or break records. attracting 15,000 to a home game and over a million views at times does not equate in any way shape or form to the impact of global olympic sport.
@@1bbbbbaaaaa She's also shown great proficiency at golf. Something nobody was aware of until last year when she was chosen to be the amateur paired with pro Zach Johnson. Last month she was invited to another Pro-Am tournament in Florida, teamed with world player Nelly Korda. She was even more impressed with Caitlin's game considering how rarely she gets on a course. I'd bet if you put her in a soccer game, she would compete well since she didn't quit playing soccer until high school when she decided to focus strictly on basketball. I think she earned that title, along with the rest she was awarded. Funny thing, when she is getting interviewed about her game, she will go through every teammate and their contributions to the game before she ever says a word about her own game.
In the NBA, you get laughed at if you miss a layup. Even in the WNBA players make 78% of layup attempts. AR makes less than 50% of them. Even a 13 year old makes a higher percentage. Yet people want to compare them.
Her team mates were not used to her vision and fumbled her passes. They had little time to get used to her and her depth of vision Was that Caitlins fault?.As the season progressed their synchronisity improved.They caught her passes.Moved into space and she found them.They scored or failed to score.But CC found them.The whole team improved. Caitlin is simply the best player the WNBA has ever seen.
@@steelliving8785there is plenty of video here on RUclips showing that her teammates were the reason why her turnovers were so high the first half of the season. They just weren't ready for someone with that type of skills.
THE PLAYES IN THE WNBA HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT WHY THEY PLAY, IT HAS BECOME "JUST A JOB TO THEM!!" IT'S NO WONDER WHY PEOPLE DIDN'T REALLY CARE ABOUT THE WNBA, THEY JUST DIDN'T TRY TO ADVANCE THIS SPORTS LEAGUE, THEY WENT THRU TO MOTIONS FOR YEARS, SURE THERE WERE GREAT PLAYERS, BUT THEY COULDN'T DO IT ON THEIR OWN!! NAME ME ONE RIVALRY IN THE WNBA THAT WAS EVERY EVEN CLOSE TO MAGIC JOHNSON & THEBIRD!!! ANYONE?? ANYONE AT ALL???? NO!!! THE NBA DOMINATED WHILE THE WNBA WAS AN ALSO RAN!!!! PLEASE LADIES, CAITLIN IS SHOWING YOU WHAT FANS LOOK FOR USE YOUR HEADS FOR SOMETHING BESIDES SOMETHING TO KEEP YOUR BACKBONE STRAIGHT!! YOU ALL ARE MAKING THIS ABOUT RACE AND IT'S NOT!! IT'S ABOUT PURE TALENT & HEART!! ANGEL & A'ja JUST ARE IN IT FOR THEMSELVES, THEY WILL NEVER BE THE KIND OF PLAYER CAITLIN IS, NOT EVEN IF THEY WERE WHITE, AND THAT IS A FACT!!! THINK ABOUT IT, PLEASE????!!!!
Definitely. She’s better known for her hatred of Clark than for her basketball career. 😬 I do think that swoops has gotten better at toning it down- or at least trying to get the stats correct now when she talks her ish. But she just can’t help herself! I also think that people in the business know this too. So they keep giving swoops a platform, then asking her to talk about Caitlin. It’s basically like rage baiting for views. People are going to tune into hear swoops make a fool of herself seething with jealousy, or the few that agree with her will tune in to feel good hearing someone hate on Clark. Either way, interviewers know it’s going to get views! Meanwhile, swoops is just under the impression that these people value her opinion. Instead, they’re just baiting her to show her immaturity and tactlessness. That’s not what she wants to be known for, but again, she has nothing else in her bag to get back at CC other than harsh words.
In 2024 Caitlin Clark proved to be one of the best if not the best. In 2025 she won't only be the best, she's going to be a beast. If you're not the hero of your own story, then you have no concept of your own humanity.
I'm a Clark fan because I'm a pure sports fan. So here's what I say, she is probably not the absolute best in the WNBA but she is one of the top three,,,two. But here's the rub. I worry there is just too much Caitlin Clark. Nothing!!!!Not a single thing is forever. Everything has a point where there is no where left to go. I'm fearing this for Caitlin. SHE PLAYED ONE SEASON and she's already in the Hall of Fame and has broken every WNBA record there ever was or ever will be. Really? This second season will be a Jordan and Bird, James, Curry, Magic all the great ones sophomore seasons rolled into one for Caitlin Clark. We never layed anywhere near the hype and expectation on any of those legends that we now have on Clark's shoulders. Every human regardless of their super human attributes has a breaking point. Maybe Clark doesn't. IDK no one knows,,,,,,, but?. What if some of the talented players figure Clark out? What if they find the kryptonite and begin to shut Clark down? What if there are no new records broken no milestones reached. This circus has made nearly impossible for Clark to have just a regular season.8 And, the girls that Hated Clark, Now Truly Hate Clark. They will need to respond one way or another, mark me. If they don't their own fans will loose faith,,,,think they sold out. Yes Clark's sophomore season may make her think she should have played more golf at Iowa. I hope she gifts all of her teammates well come Christmas cause she's gonna need them. Clark's going to need them to do what not not One did last year. If she wants to survive the full season, shes going to need her teammates to step up and be teammates and help protect. If they don't, Clark won't last the season. They tried to end her last season with the eye poke. They won't make the same mistake twice, pray it's not a knee or shoulder. My fingers are crossed.
@user-zw2gq6ir5o Well said, as well as bringing up some concerns. We can only hope that the WNBA front office is fully aware that losing Caitlin Clark now will only damage the league as a whole and set the WNBA back to its primitive state in was in before Clark's arrival. The league will always have your typical injuries because they're to be expected. Supposedly Kathy Engelbert and Company have hired more experienced referees. Not for the sake of protecting Clark, but for the protection of every player in the league, and more importantly protecting the integrity of the game. The players who have demonstrated resentment toward Clarke are the ones that are near the end of their careers. They don't benefit from Caitlin lifting the league to newer heights. And there will be more exciting players coming out of college and into the league. But Caitlin Clark is a gem, a once in a lifetime player the league desperately needed. And someone who can make all the difference in the world. There is a false misconception that Clark is only known for her logo threes. I'll be 67 February, and I have seen all the greats play, as far back with Jerry West in the 60's. And the WNBA wasn't even in my vocabulary until the day I saw Caitlin Clark play. And after only seeing her rookie season, and highlights with Iowa, I can comfortably say with conviction that Caitlin Clark is the best passer I've ever seen. What makes her a phenomenal passer is because she keeps the ball alive. She doesn't stop dribbling to find someone open (a lot of players do that, men and women). She a chemist on the floor discovering the right formula that works. While keeping the ball alive, it enables her to change her position causing the defense to change their position as well, without knowing that Clark is the one repositioning them. By the time you think that you've figured out Clark's chess moves, it's too late. My apologies, I can't say enough about Clark. And I'm from the West Coast. No one can say that I'm just being biased. I'm just being honest. You learn more losing to Caitlin Clark than you do losing to any other team. She's a beast.
I'm glad the Caitlin is living where she be surrounded with people the are nice and not a bunch of racist envy evil young girls that no 1 watch 9n TV or show up in the arena.😂
Isn’t it funny that CC is the only player to get razzed about the logo 3s. There are several up and coming players that play a lot like CC.....so look out dinosaurs 🦖 and haters 👿 Also if they manage to call the friggin dirty players out with harder penalties, it might stop them. Some of those fragrant fouls on CC could have seriously hurt her. I know the jealousy, competitiveness and some hate thrown in there, is what’s driving the dirty plays. So the W needs to hire all new, unbiased refs PERIOD!!
She’s Character and Vicissitude Let’s not even mention Her Integrity The thing is She’s doing it with Grace and Effortlessness That’s Their issue She’s making it look easy Generational talents are not meant to be understood or identified with Your just gonna have have to watch
It's not only her podcast that's out there, there's her cereal, Reese's Pieces. Rumor is it's not selling well, that she may be buying it herself and giving it to her supporters. The problem is that when you pour it in the bowl only 30% make it in, the rest bounces on the table.😅
Her podcast is one of the best ones out there with top sports figures like Shaq and Dwayne Wade and top artists like Glorilla and Sexy Redd Try again hater.
I was a CC fan after watching just one clip. She stopped a ball from hitting one of her opponents in the head. The opponent, instead of thanking her, immediately turned ugly and tried to go after her physically. CC didnt react to the aggression and simply walked away. She handles every situation with class and dignity, even helping the same people who wish her harm. Her character made me an instant fan. Her skills made me a die-hard fan. CC❤
I NEVER have watched the WNBA ever! Caitlin Clark has me watching. I watch men's basketball now. I am a hockey fan. go figure. I can't understand what is going on. Do the other players not see the crowds?
The reason why nobody knew about the WNBA is it wasn't on TV. 25+ years later they put 2 games on TV once a week. You had to pay to watch the games. People are already paying to watch the other sports. How much money do you think we have? You can't even watch the men's Final Four. It's only a matter of time before all sports will be pay per view. Soon you will have to pay to even watch TV.
You never ever saw leagues have this much level of envy and jealousy over greats like Kobe, Jordan, Lebron, Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzsky etc. Why? Because instead of whining that someone came along that was better than them and not do anything to improve, they got their asses up and started practicing, and even some modelling their game after said greats because of how good they were, these women just scream immaturity, cry about CC and try to put her down instead of elevate themselves, all im saying is, when i played high school baseball, coach taught us how to be like Mike Trout, not how to eliminate him
Simply put... Caitlin Clark earned that reward for being a MATURE elite basketball player/game changer (the Michael Jordan of WNBA). They tell you all the time about being in the league is not just about your impact, but it's about your ATTITUDE. Not once did you ever hear Caitlin Clark in any interview, podcast, or any form of broadcasting, bash or downplay anyone else in the league, no matter how bad they shaded her. She kept a level head and let her game/maturity speak for itself. Had it not been for her, WNBA would still have LOADS of empty seats, and hardly any eyes on it. I am a fan now because of her, and I don't even stay in Indiana. 🤣🤣 Award definitely deserved!
Thus a very Jealous person ( Sheryl Swoops). Swoops never reach Caitlin Clark's level when she was playing Basketball . Swoops needs to be banned permanently from saying anything about women Sports.
😅wnba was a hohum league, very slow growth. Suddenly, the arena seats are FILLED. NOT for the current players, but for the excitement created by this young lady. All wnba players will benefit from her huge presence, but seem content to tear her down. Narcissism run wild among those who can’t keep up…and she’s straight, which, surprisingly, much of the remainder are not. And wokeness? Spare me please…
I’m sure she deserves the recognition she has gotten and seems to be getting more recognition. I’m worried we are setting unrealistic expectations! On the other hand I’ve got the feeling we ain’t seen nothing yet!!
CONGRATULATIONS CC, ON YET ANOTHER WELLDESERVED AWARD!!! OUTSTANDING YOUNG LADY!!! IT IS A JOY TO SEE YOU PLAY AND LIVING LARGE, ALL THE BEST TO YOU...J.A.FRAZIER, (USN Ret.)
No doubt Caitlin Clark has exponentially increased viewership, attendance, and notoriety for the WNBA. But what I like most about this video, it acknowledged the WNBA was already on an upward trend BEFORE Clarks arrival. Listening to the new/casual fans, you'd think the WNBA never existed before 2024.
League increased 40% the year before Caitlin. That is impressive. You have to remember though that much of that was a bounce back from the Covid era when the league fell off the edge of a cliff. CC increased everything 400 PERCENT. Mind you that is 400% more on top of a 40% the year BC (Before Caitlin). 1600% in two years and 95% of it is the Clark Effect. Talk about trying to compare a Yugo to a Lamborghini!!
Wow! Funny when everyone was saying how Caitline was moving the needle... I said to myself she IS the needle! Now I hear this narrative saying the exact thing I was thinking! Dat's AWESOME!😊
Take me for example - i never ever followed the NBA, WNBA, basketball or women's sports but her success has trickled down to people like me who now will watch to see her play.
They should all be kissing her feet with gratitude........keep it up haters she can easily walk away and do well in golf..... and you would all lose bigtime!! BTW Reese you are no role model taking steroids!!!
Gotta stop with the Reese stuff. Reese is no longer relevant to any CC conversation and was only before because of controversy not talent. So let’s nice on. Yes it’s nice to throw Reese under the bus now and then because she’s a self centered idiot but that doesn’t mean we should be subject to it anymore.
Isn't Swoopes sick and tired of being wrong about Caitlin Clark .....every time she tries to mock CC the facts make her look like a jealous fool ..... which she is !!
No one even cared about the WNBA until Caitlin Clark showed up. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but it's true. No one on RUclips was talking about it, no one on social media was talking about it. At all. She arrived out of Iowa like a tornado, and now everyone's interested in women's basketball.
of all the supposed great WNBA stars other than CC22 ... name any that has packed arena after arena with joyous fans roaring approval .. congratulations ,, CC22 more than deserves the award.
Absolutely your right sir; CC is a phenomenal,, she's a complete package athlete ... Kidding aside: that kind of player shows only every 100 yrs... That's why CC is the BEST of the BEST.. .
It"s the controversy that"s bringing non-sports watchers to tune in. Chennedy Carter is a very exciting player. Catlyn is an awesome player. Angel is the pretty mean girl. Thats what makes the game worth watching.
this is where Clark BELONGS, she worked her a$$ off, had refs against her, had players going out their way to attack her. the only reason she didn't go further in the playoffs was because she got hit in the eye. which again the refs being against her just let it go and did nothing. and the player who did it... you all know who I'm talking about. she goes making jokes about what she did. but let's put all that aside. how many records she broke in her first year? how many stats did she lead the board in? she was so good, the upped the guard on her, so much so that even Steph Curry was saying they are guarding her harder than he's ever been guarded. What other Rookies were guarded and attacked as hard as she was this season... go on... i'll wait for you to come back and say: "But..." but nothing! now run along, back to your echo chamber.
I thought angel is banned from the wbna for good so can you answer y she like still on the Chicago sky team? Or is it was all fake some cane givie me a answer
I know exactly why Clark looks so good on the court . All the female players look like women playing , Clark has the characteristics of a male. Nothing feminine about the way she plays.
I would just like to thank swoops. Because if CC paid attention to any of the idiocy that falls out of her mouth, it probably only gave Caitlin more drive. She’s competitive af, and swoops is better known for her hatred than for her career. She’s too old to even try to beat CC on the court, so all she’s got is her shii talk to beat her with. It’s only making her look like a fool, not Caitlin.
Let's be real here, its not just about her skills on the court. The people want to watch a female athlete that, no offense to the other women, has women qualities. A woman little girls we want looking up to. Humble, straight, religious, no tattoos, actually good at the game in all aspects as well. She had them all beat in the unconscious lvl and thats more than anyone in the league before her could do.
SHERYL SWOOPES WAS A GREAT PLAYER AND KUDOS TO HER. SHE COULD NOW CONDUCT HERSELF AS A SENIOR LEGEND BUT SHE HAS CHOSEN NOT TO DO THAT. INSTEAD SHE HAS REDUCED HERSELF TO AN IGNOMINIUS ANNOYANCE WITH NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE TO OFFER OR GET EXCEPT JUST BEING DISCUSSED AS JUST AN IGNOMINIUS ANNOYANCE. BUT, SHE WILL SOON BE GONE, REMAINING ONLY AS A FADING TOPIC OF DISMISSIVE DISCUSSION.
CONGRATS TO C.CLARK ANOTHER AWARD THAT SHE "EARNED" ON HER OWN!!! NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE & SHE DESERVES IT 100%
CC said she is privileged it's not anyone else's fault
@isabellascalzitti9524 Her only privilege is to have a hugely supportive family.Her desire to succeed is in her makeup and genes..
Lady Caitlin Clark deserves every award she gets because he's earned it the hard way hard work and determination
Old school.❤
SHE'S NOT HE'S
Reece is NO WHERE NEAR THE LEVEL OF BASKETBALL PLAYER AND SHE WILL EVER BE !!!
There was no life before CC arrived.She shed light on the entire league
Sooner or later a woman with REAL basketball skills was bound to come along. She's here.
I say it’s because she’s as good as she is number one. She shines both on and off the court. She’s the most selfless athlete I’ve seen. She isn’t self centered as these whiners are.
CC is going to be a mover and shaker, she's just getting started. This is a girl who took the WNBA by storm, and while all the old biddies were crying as she shattered their records, and hater like Devil Reese were moving on to the porn industry, she was busy spreading her fame to the golf course, drawing a whole new class of fans, and then making deals to buy her own soccer team, automatically guaranteeing a major audience for anyone wanting to sign her to a sporting line, but you have to bring a suitcase full of money now, her network of fans is spreading to all sports. She's not just the every day jock, she's a business women, who's as talented off court as she is on court.
Amen. And let me add, SS is an absolute disaster of a person.
I am so sick of hearing from Swoopes
You have to wonder why she keeps giving interviews when she's so wrong all the time.
Caitlin deserves that spot on Forbes, on the Time athlete of the year, and every other award she has received over the last 3 years.

I'm glad the Caitlin is living where she be surrounded with people the are nice and not a bunch of racist envy evil young girls that no 1 watch 9n TV or show up in the arena.😂
Nobody glorifies haters but they can't help themselve. Caitlin has gotten where is is because she is the opposite of these nasty jealous haters.
Isn’t it funny that CC is the only player to get razzed about the logo 3s.
There are several up and coming players that play a lot like CC.....so look out dinosaurs 🦖 and haters 👿
Also if they manage to call the friggin dirty players out with harder penalties, it might stop them. Some of those fragrant fouls on CC could have seriously hurt her. I know the jealousy, competitiveness and some hate thrown in there, is what’s driving the dirty plays. So the W needs to hire all new, unbiased refs PERIOD!!
Flau Jae and CC are smart in basketball and business. Maybe these old players can learn something from these rookies.
She’s Character and Vicissitude
Let’s not even mention
Her Integrity
The thing is
She’s doing it with Grace and Effortlessness
That’s Their issue
She’s making it look easy
Generational talents are not meant to be understood or identified with
Your just gonna have have to watch
She more than deserves every acalade that comes her way! She’s a superstar, a generational phenom! 👍
Caitlin has earned every Award she has received. She is an Amazing Player and Person.
NEVER SHOULD HAVE DONE THE TIME INTERVIEW. THEY DON’T CARE THAT YOU BENT THE KNEE
Yeah I hear Angel's pod cast isn't doing much either.
It's not only her podcast that's out there, there's her cereal, Reese's Pieces. Rumor is it's not selling well, that she may be buying it herself and giving it to her supporters. The problem is that when you pour it in the bowl only 30% make it in, the rest bounces on the table.😅
@@mikehall4517 good one
😂😂😂😂@@mikehall4517
Her podcast is one of the best ones out there with top sports figures like Shaq and Dwayne Wade and top artists like Glorilla and Sexy Redd
Try again hater.
I was a CC fan after watching just one clip. She stopped a ball from hitting one of her opponents in the head. The opponent, instead of thanking her, immediately turned ugly and tried to go after her physically. CC didnt react to the aggression and simply walked away. She handles every situation with class and dignity, even helping the same people who wish her harm. Her character made me an instant fan. Her skills made me a die-hard fan. CC❤
Hey WNBA get your shit together or say bye,bye.
I NEVER have watched the WNBA ever! Caitlin Clark has me watching. I watch men's basketball now. I am a hockey fan. go figure. I can't understand what is going on. Do the other players not see the crowds?
Caitlin has it, she is the one! the numbers don't lie!
Congratulations c c you are absolutely the best player
The reason why nobody knew about the WNBA is it wasn't on TV. 25+ years later they put 2 games on TV once a week. You had to pay to watch the games. People are already paying to watch the other sports. How much money do you think we have? You can't even watch the men's Final Four. It's only a matter of time before all sports will be pay per view. Soon you will have to pay to even watch TV.
You never ever saw leagues have this much level of envy and jealousy over greats like Kobe, Jordan, Lebron, Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzsky etc. Why? Because instead of whining that someone came along that was better than them and not do anything to improve, they got their asses up and started practicing, and even some modelling their game after said greats because of how good they were, these women just scream immaturity, cry about CC and try to put her down instead of elevate themselves, all im saying is, when i played high school baseball, coach taught us how to be like Mike Trout, not how to eliminate him
She’S a badass! A prodigy I could watch her 24/7…of course she deserves every reward she gets. The haters or not nice…
NO ONE deserves it more than Caitlin Clark!!
Simply put... Caitlin Clark earned that reward for being a MATURE elite basketball player/game changer (the Michael Jordan of WNBA). They tell you all the time about being in the league is not just about your impact, but it's about your ATTITUDE. Not once did you ever hear Caitlin Clark in any interview, podcast, or any form of broadcasting, bash or downplay anyone else in the league, no matter how bad they shaded her. She kept a level head and let her game/maturity speak for itself.
Had it not been for her, WNBA would still have LOADS of empty seats, and hardly any eyes on it. I am a fan now because of her, and I don't even stay in Indiana. 🤣🤣
Award definitely deserved!
Angel Reese - They’re coming to see me too. Ha, no Angel, nothing like with Caitlin, lol!
So disappointed in whatever the hell became of Sheryl Swoopes credibility and dignity. And figure.
She needs to lay off the fast food and take some laps around the block, getting kind of pudgy.
Sue Bird said it best .The W was consistently getting better and there was a fire ..And Then CC busted through the door
And poured GAS all over it 😂
We love Caitlin Clark best ever
Glad we don’t have to listen to Swoopesy anymore. She is too racist.
Yes they got it right 💯 percent 🎉
Thus a very Jealous person ( Sheryl Swoops).
Swoops never reach Caitlin Clark's level when she was playing Basketball . Swoops needs to be banned permanently from saying anything about women Sports.
Haters damage their Image and no one wants that in their house or businesses - FACT
Congratulations CC
Ur hard work will shine🎉
Leave the cows to us.😂
😅wnba was a hohum league, very slow growth. Suddenly, the arena seats are FILLED. NOT for the current players, but for the excitement created by this young lady. All wnba players will benefit from her huge presence, but seem content to tear her down. Narcissism run wild among those who can’t keep up…and she’s straight, which, surprisingly, much of the remainder are not. And wokeness? Spare me please…
CC most certainly earned that top spot on Forbes.
I’m sure she deserves the recognition she has gotten and seems to be getting more recognition. I’m worried we are setting unrealistic expectations! On the other hand I’ve got the feeling we ain’t seen nothing yet!!
Caitlin has earned her recognition well others feel entitled 😢
CONGRATULATIONS CC, ON YET ANOTHER WELLDESERVED AWARD!!! OUTSTANDING YOUNG LADY!!! IT IS A JOY TO SEE YOU PLAY AND LIVING LARGE, ALL THE BEST TO YOU...J.A.FRAZIER, (USN Ret.)
No doubt Caitlin Clark has exponentially increased viewership, attendance, and notoriety for the WNBA. But what I like most about this video, it acknowledged the WNBA was already on an upward trend BEFORE Clarks arrival. Listening to the new/casual fans, you'd think the WNBA never existed before 2024.
What trend, they still lost 40 million dollars. They had little viewers,no charter flights and so much more.
League increased 40% the year before Caitlin. That is impressive. You have to remember though that much of that was a bounce back from the Covid era when the league fell off the edge of a cliff. CC increased everything 400 PERCENT. Mind you that is 400% more on top of a 40% the year BC (Before Caitlin). 1600% in two years and 95% of it is the Clark Effect. Talk about trying to compare a Yugo to a Lamborghini!!
Caitlin is a good player, simple, kind.Love the way she is .She is gifted.
She ABSOLUTELY deserved to be on the list, as did Johnson.
A Phenomenon is born in WNBA.
Wow! Funny when everyone was saying how Caitline was moving the needle... I said to myself she IS the needle! Now I hear this narrative saying the exact thing I was thinking! Dat's AWESOME!😊
Forbes did a great job period
Take me for example - i never ever followed the NBA, WNBA, basketball or women's sports but her success has trickled down to people like me who now will watch to see her play.
Not anymore WNBA is not gonna survive without her
YOU CAN'T BE THE BEST IF YOUR SELFISH & ONE DIMENTIONAL!! CC & FLAU JAE ARE THE REAL DEAL TALENTED AND REAL!!!
Angel Reese is only better than CC in rebounding, and even then most of them are own balls she missed putting in the basket.
8:10 maybe its the prettiness 😅, tough to called on the same level with CC
They should all be kissing her feet with gratitude........keep it up haters she can easily walk away and do well in golf..... and you would all lose bigtime!! BTW Reese you are no role model taking steroids!!!
Reese doesn't take steroids. She is skinny and has no muscle mass. Don't be silly.
Gotta stop with the Reese stuff. Reese is no longer relevant to any CC conversation and was only before because of controversy not talent. So let’s nice on. Yes it’s nice to throw Reese under the bus now and then because she’s a self centered idiot but that doesn’t mean we should be subject to it anymore.
Stop with the Reese hate
Caitlin was saying that too. Let them play their separate and different games.
Caitlin SAILS the ball. !!!!
Congrats again CC, winning with class! Hard work does pay off
Isn't Swoopes sick and tired of being wrong about Caitlin Clark .....every time she tries to mock CC the facts make her look like a jealous fool ..... which she is !!
The only reason Angel Reese has so many rebounds is they are just follow ups of her missed four footers.
No one even cared about the WNBA until Caitlin Clark showed up. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but it's true. No one on RUclips was talking about it, no one on social media was talking about it. At all. She arrived out of Iowa like a tornado, and now everyone's interested in women's basketball.
of all the supposed great WNBA stars other than CC22 ... name any that has packed arena after arena with joyous fans roaring approval .. congratulations ,, CC22 more than deserves the award.
The sad thing is the jealousy against her. I hate it but she must hate it more.
Absolutely !! Clark earned it !!
Whitout Caitlin Clark the WNBA is almost nothing! It’s hard to attend this angry players
Absolutely your right sir; CC is a phenomenal,, she's a complete package athlete ... Kidding aside: that kind of player shows only every 100 yrs... That's why CC is the BEST of the BEST.. .
Congrats CC...forgive them haters for they know not what they do...
It makes me smile when the Caitlin Clark haters cry.
It"s the controversy that"s bringing non-sports watchers to tune in. Chennedy Carter is a very exciting player. Catlyn is an awesome player. Angel is the pretty mean girl. Thats what makes the game worth watching.
Swoopes is such an embarrassment to herself as a CC hater.
WNBA players had snice 1997 to make an impact on pop culture... none until Clark.
CC IS THE ONLY REASON PEOPLE WATCH THE WNBA NOBODY REALLY CARED UNTIL SHE CAME IN
I really don't understand the hate from fellow professionals... Shouldn't other wnba players be able to recognize her talent?
this is where Clark BELONGS, she worked her a$$ off, had refs against her, had players going out their way to attack her. the only reason she didn't go further in the playoffs was because she got hit in the eye. which again the refs being against her just let it go and did nothing. and the player who did it... you all know who I'm talking about. she goes making jokes about what she did.
but let's put all that aside. how many records she broke in her first year? how many stats did she lead the board in?
she was so good, the upped the guard on her, so much so that even Steph Curry was saying they are guarding her harder than he's ever been guarded. What other Rookies were guarded and attacked as hard as she was this season... go on... i'll wait for you to come back and say: "But..." but nothing! now run along, back to your echo chamber.
Caitlin is Love by the people .She's is an IRON Lady
I thought angel is banned from the wbna for good so can you answer y she like still on the Chicago sky team? Or is it was all fake some cane givie me a answer
There isn't even enough B L B can play better than Caitlin Clark, and that's the Truth.
Angel Reese is good to be A MODEL NOT A BASKET BALL PLAYER. FOR MY OWN OPINION SHE IS TOO SLOW.
Not one single player did what CC has done this year.
I know exactly why Clark looks so good on the court . All the female players look like women playing , Clark has the characteristics of a male. Nothing feminine about the way she plays.
Basketball isn't cool. Caitlin is just a really cool person who makes basketball look cool.
C.C. would be great even if she was white, but seeing how she's a black woman she's even better! 2:04 wow ! what a step! she can do that ? mama mia !
I'm happy for Clark's success and sad that Swoopes has become such a bitter fossil spouting denigrating diatribes.
Bending the knee to cry bullies, she just created her ex fans .
I would just like to thank swoops.
Because if CC paid attention to any of the idiocy that falls out of her mouth, it probably only gave Caitlin more drive. She’s competitive af, and swoops is better known for her hatred than for her career. She’s too old to even try to beat CC on the court, so all she’s got is her shii talk to beat her with. It’s only making her look like a fool, not Caitlin.
C C too good for them future president USA no doubt
😏😏😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Caitlin is like canelo in boxing , if you ain’t black you’re hated foreal !
They mad cause she’s a white all star in basketball
CC THE BEST CC THE GOAT
Let's be real here, its not just about her skills on the court. The people want to watch a female athlete that, no offense to the other women, has women qualities. A woman little girls we want looking up to. Humble, straight, religious, no tattoos, actually good at the game in all aspects as well. She had them all beat in the unconscious lvl and thats more than anyone in the league before her could do.
Angel Reese never hated on CC
SHERYL SWOOPES WAS A GREAT PLAYER AND KUDOS TO HER. SHE COULD NOW CONDUCT HERSELF AS A SENIOR LEGEND BUT SHE HAS CHOSEN NOT TO DO THAT. INSTEAD SHE HAS REDUCED HERSELF TO AN IGNOMINIUS ANNOYANCE WITH NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE TO OFFER OR GET EXCEPT JUST BEING DISCUSSED AS JUST AN IGNOMINIUS ANNOYANCE. BUT, SHE WILL SOON BE GONE, REMAINING ONLY AS A FADING TOPIC OF DISMISSIVE DISCUSSION.
