She’s making me better, I’m sitting on the bench..

Crazy BAR

@@david0nyang0😂😂😂😂😂 Wheeler turnt upped!!!!
In 3 yrs baring injury CC Will own EVERY PG record in the Dub!!
That is so huge that Cynthia Cooper acknowledged that Caitlin has drawn renewed interest in her... people are learning these names and faces for the first time and being rocognized out in the public... LOVE IT. The men in the NBA got the tv time where people saw their faces. Through Caitlin these women are being brought up now... every month it is growing. Sad part is Caitlin used to add Swoopes name to list of greats... Swoope's bitterness just hurt herself.
Even better that it was the person Swoopes will never be out of the shadow of.
@@ColleenYourAccess2me Swoopes more salty than ocean water
I had a great respect for Swoops. Not any more. I’ve embarrassed for her! 👵🏻💕🔥🏀
@@VanIyke Swoopes is Lot's wife: A pillar of salt.
CC and Cynthia Cooper: game recognizes game. Greatness recognizes greatness.
No matter how great you are, there's always somebody greater.
Records were meant to be made and then broken.
People should praise others for being greater
Because Caitlin Clark I started keeping up with WNBA....And I know a lot of players because of Caitlin Clark...
I love that Cynthia Cooper stated that Caitlin makes her better because now we can learn about the true legends.
NO ONE COULD HAVE MADE A BETTER COACH FOR CC THAN LISA BLUDER.
Really 😂😂😂
@@philip6927 NO!😂
Adrienne, I found you because of Caitlan and I am so glad I did! Love your energy!
CC'S making money for so many people, online Podcasters, Arena owners, small businesses, networks and the list goes on and on!!! Then there's the players and the league itself!!! Her stats in combination is what the MVP is!! Absolutely the MOST VALUABLE PLAYER in the league!! Not one other player can claim that!!
Cynthia Cooper is the truth!
"When Caitlin's light shines, it shines on ALL OF US" ~Lisa Bluder~ Cynthia Cooper had a serious BAR...
BAR? 🤔
@@bmw128racer people who know what I mean, know....
Nike needs to do a commercial with CC and a bunch of legends. CC's knowledge and history of the game is extensive. I would love to see the legends passing the torch and CC respecting the giants before her.
Please do not infer she doesn't respect them
@GigMaresh I know she respects those who laid the foundation for her. She's made references to it many times in her interviews. Especially her favorite player, Maya Moore. Her knowledge of the women's game is vast and she has studied it she she was very young.
That would be awesome!💯💯💯💯💯💯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯 paying homage to those that came before & getting them paid too!! Swoops excluded.
I would like to hear from Tamika Catchings. She was THE all time great for Indiana.
Me too! Cynthia Cooper was the Jordan of the W when it first started. She still my GOAT! Same initials! Crazy!
#14!!! I actually had a necklace charm made with 14 in honor of Coop.
That's the truth. Cynthia was always my favourite player and I thought she was the true GOAT I'd seen.
Cynthia Cooper, Tisha Penichero, Tamika Catchings.. GOATs..
What about Candace Parker? Catchings, Holdsclaw? Which reminds me of Pat Summit - a brilliant, dignified coach. Could motivate players like nobody else and ran a tight ship. Might be a great standard for some today.
Cynthia has the greatest championship accomplishments in WNBA HISTORY... 4X FINALS MVP😂😂😂❤ comet's 4 PEAT, them fake ass modern day GOATS like DT will be eaten up by CC
this is a good list
Big Catchings fan here !!!! 😊
There can be only one. That is what the term "greatest" means -- second to none. Greatest does not have a list; pick one.
Let’s make Adrienne’s and Cynthia’s books go to top ten!!
Love that! Thank you!
Respect and Thank You CCooper❤️🔥🫶🤯🏀
I never heard of Maya Moore until i heard Caitlin talk about what an inspiration Maya was for her.
I never heard of Cheryl Miller until she coached the all star game.
I never heard of Sue Bird until she came to one of Caitlin's college games and the media got excited about her being there.
I never heard of Sheryl Swoopes until her unfortunate commentary claiming Caitlin broke the records in 5 seasons instead of 4.
I never heard about Lynette Woodard until Caitlin broke her record.
I never heard of Ticha Penicheiro until Caitlin broke her record.
I never heard of Pete Maravich until Caitlin broke his record.
I never heard of Cynthia Cooper until she went on record taking about Caitlin.
I never heard of Rebecca Lobo until she did commentary on Caitlin.
I never heard of Nancy Lieberman until she did the commentary on the Wings game.
Yes, Caitlin has brought my eyes to the legends of the past.
Thats wonderful!!
And I'm willing to bet as a new W fan like me you have come to love and admire the many talents of these ladies .👍
And there are a lot more. It's worth looking in to.
Same here!
@@robertvaldez2924 If these current WNBA players only realize this phenomenon of added millions of viewers and 5x the old attendance in games, they should rejoice that they can finally show their stuff and have these added new fans see them and perhaps become fans. What does it matter that they are the best players in the world if nobody knows it except for the 3000 friends, family and few fans.
Happy Cooper was courtside to see Clark & the Fever play, Cooper is the GOAT. Loved watching her back in day with the COMETS
THE best!
Good show bringing out the best of the game.
Caitlin is making me better too. :)
man I loved watching Cynthia Cooper back in the day
Cynthia Cooper is awesome
Coopers heart is still where it was then. 🙏🏻❤️
Love how Coop talks with a rhythm! See her HOF speech. Awesome she gives props to CC bc she was the real deal in Houston!
This is what i was saying. CC fans will discover other players naturally if these haters stop trying to force things and tell them who they "should" watch instead of CC or who deserves the praise CC gets. The growth this season would be even higher if people embraced new fans and casual fans that came because of CC. She has me talking about how great Napheesa Collier is and how she's in the MVP conversation. I realized the other day i can name every player on the Fever off the top of my head without even thinking about it too much. I can even name some of the coaches by name besides Christie Sides. THAT is growth
@@gphillimo I now now what a double double is! It has nothing to do with coffee!
Wow! That is cool!
I agree, I have found other teams & players that I now love to watch!
That is how I've learned more about the legends, & the current players...The Caitlin Clark Effect is real.
Ogunbowale is one of my favorite non Fever players. She was snubbed by the Olympic Committee as well. Clark makes everyone better as people and as fans. Parker, Tisha Penicheiro, Cooper, Cheryl Miller, Catchings, even Swoopes, as much as she is frustrating me right now. They were all amazing in their days.
Arike took her name out of the list of eligible players for the Olympics, she didn't want to get caught up in the crazy politics
Yeah I think she is awesome too. Love watching her game as well.
They didn't snore her she turned them down.
@@bobby12348 She turned them down because she knew they were stringing her along. She saw the handwriting on the wall. Good for her to say, "I'm outta here!"
@bobby12348 keep telling yourself that. It's clear they were going to string her along and not put her on the team and rather then play politics she declined to be manipulated like she was for the Toyko Olympics. Yes, we can argue the semantics all you want that she withdrew but she also wasn't going to be selected anyway, so I still count it as a snub.
That’s true ! Being 80 I forgot about Cooper but now I can look back. Yes Cheryl Miller !! Memories 🙌🙌🤪🥴🥲
This is my most favorite version of your show. Excellently expressed and delivered. So honest, so true. Love your show.
Thank you!
Thank you for that story… You had me in tears! I love stories like that! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥💯‼️🙌🏼
I have favorite players on every team now. If you asked me 6 months ago I couldn’t name anyone other than CC and Lisa Leslie 😂
Same😂
That was a poignant homage Adrienne! To both players. I teared up. ❤
Ms. Ross. For a Coach like you, I HIGHLY recommend that you check out a video by "Basketball Top Stories" about the relationship between Lisa Bluder and Caitlin Clark. This was a match made in heaven, a story of a Mentor as well as coach,who took a raw young player with great talent, and instilled the knowledge and understanding of the game to turn her into an ELITE basketball leader and grandmaster of the game. It's just inspiring.
When Coop and all of them were winning 4 in a row, was the last time I made an effort to to watch games.. Until
Now
Game Day!!!
Loved the pictures of you. I am so glad that Cynthia Cooper, my all time favorite, gave CC props. I loved Swoopes so it was so disappointing when her ego got the best of her, I'm done with Swoopes but so thankful that I can still look up to Cynthia Cooper.
Accomplishment wise, Cynthia is the GOAT, Swoopes was her second fiddle 😂😂😂
I look at it like CC got CC and swoops got angel...keeping the wnba on front page..lol😅
@@kentuckylucky5762 Nice one!
I pray Swoopes is okay and that she turns things around, you know?
@@karensullivan8458 Honestly I think it's the world we live in, woke is a disease, and Swoopes got infected, she wasn't like this back in the day. How people blatantly support immoral and shameless actions these days as their reality is honestly scary, maybe that's why so many supported CC outside of her basketball skills. She's real, herself.
I understand about the tears as you talked about Kim's battle with cancer as you brought this 72 year old Marine to tears.I went through my own battle with cancer in 2018,I am doing okay now.
First, thank you for your service! ❤ Second, I thank God you are doing well!
You shine lights too. As a Canadian hockey fan, I'm learning about basketball and the WNBA from you. This is a great sport. Thank you!
Go Oilers 🇨🇦
Happy Friday !! Jimmy V said, each day, allow your self to laugh, think, and cry. Check, check, and CHECK.
Yes! I was so hoping you’d comment on Dapope’s friends Cynthia Cooper video!
It’s through CCK that I have gotten to know these other amazing players Kelsey, Arike, AB, Lexie etc
You are exactly right! I am now watching most of the WNBA games and I have never watched any until Caitlin! In fact I have a couple other favorite players besides CC! If only the players, coaches, ESPN would realize what CC has done for the WNBA! It’s a win-win situation! Caitlin might not be the best player yet but she is definitely the most valuable player!
I am with you… Cynthia Cooper is the goat for me too… I loved Lisa Leslie, but the comets were my team… Cynthia Cooper, Cheryl Swoopes, Tina Thompson and Michelle Snow were must see TV for me when the league first started‼️
Cynthia has the greatest championship accomplishments in WNBA HISTORY... 4X FINALS MVP😂😂😂❤ comet's 4 PEAT, them fake ass modern day GOATS like DT will be eaten up by CC
I met Lisa Leslie a few years ago and started off my conversation by telling her that back in the day, I didn't like her--but only because I had been a huge Comets fan and the rivalry was real. At first, she looked at me like she was wondering where I was going with that! 🤣
The WNBA needs to showcase Cynthia Cooper more... She's a legend. I've been a huge fan since her USC days. I love her compassion and fire. This legend is the original CC. 🙂
How ironic that the two best players in wnba history both have the initials CC. Cynthia Cooper n Caitlin Clark. Cooper is there and Caitlin is own her way
Thank you for those highlights, as a native Houstonian, I remember those days at the Compaq Center fondly.
People forget Swoopes wasn't even the best player in her team, why? CYNTHIA MF COOPER
CC is about BB, but for fans who recognize and cheer her great one of a kind talent, she makes us collectively feel a,surge of promise , joy and hope.
Totally agree with your words and sentiment, just like to say that, and also you have the same name as my dad,,, thats what drew me to your comment. amazing,,Thanks,
Hi Adrienne, getting ready for CC and the Fever tonight!!
We are so lucky that we get a real athlete in today's political sports, reminds me of Kobe, no woke BS❤
I was watching the WNBA when it came out. I remember crying when Kim Perrot passed. Cooper and the comets were unstoppable. I stopped watching WNBA once I joined the army in 2001. Now that I'm retired from the Army I'm back to watching basketball again because of Caitlin Clark. She helped me fall back in love with basketball. I went to a tisha penicheiro shooting camp in Stockton CA. It was the best day of my life. I appreciate your story of meeting Cooper. ❤
What a team name. The Houston Comets. True, I am looking back and learning about bygone teams.
Clark makes me better. Seeing her full of grace under the constant attack and pressure inspires me to dig deeper and get in touch with the divine grace of God inside of me. As a father of a daughter I have had tears of joy watching Clark and my daughter navigate life. I am here to serve. Blessings to all!
I would love to see Cynthia Cooper take over as the fevers coach. Christie Sides doesn't stick up for her players and doesn't have the positive attitude that they need to excel. We need the positivity of Cynthia Cooper. We need the experience of Cynthia Cooper❤ she's a legend and she could take that team so far because she's got the drive in the right attitude and the experience❤❤❤
Thank you Adrienne for showing that video clip! I thought that was great with Cynthia calling CC “truth”because I’ve been calling CC nickname “THE TRUTH”!! Kelsey “THE CLUTCH” AND Lexie “THE FLASH”
Love this
Love this!
I think she makes me better too! Like… after I watch her play then I want to strive for something. It’s so uplifting 🥳
Caitlin is making the WORLD a better place, so much love in this girl, always positive and supportive, and bringing attention to all those assosciated to her and the game itself,, love your show Adrienne , love your show,,
Cynthia cooper just earned a lot of new fans
Coop was a joy to watch. Unstoppable!
Bravo cooper,I think it's awesome that you mentioned what effect Caitlin has even on you 😊
Thank you Adrienne for taking us down memory lane for Cooper. That was so heart felt and amazing. ❤❤❤
Nice tribute, Ms. Ross!
I was certainly one who went to check out who Ticha Penicheiro was when they started talking about Caitlin breaking her record.
C Cooper is the 🐐! ❤❤❤❤Love you ❤🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
Exactly, Adreinne! When Cooper said CC is making her better, she was saying the attention is shining a light on her and making all her hard work relevant again. She is getting praise and notoriety because people are now studying the game. If Swoops had been smart and not a hater, she could have rode this gravy train. Now she won't and her reputation is tarnished.
She making me better, and I'm sitting here listening to Ms. Ross' podcast. 🙏
‼
I remember when Kim passed. It was a sad day then and hearing you talk about it brings back that emotion. Coop is a GOAT and will always be one of my favorites. Thank you for bringing her name back into the W. The Comets were fantastic and it is sad that there is no longer Houston team. Love your show.
Cynthia is amazing and now I know more about her career
The "Caitlin Clark effect" caught my attention and I only played 1 year of high school basketball. Always liked basketball but wasn't interested in the WNBA but know I am. I'm hooked, and you're right Caitlin has brought new eyes to the game and we all can see how many good players are actually in the game. I'm enjoying the ride! I'm glad I found your channel. God bless!
Thank you for sharing about the early years of the WNBA. Your story touched me. Cynthia Cooper went through a lot of heartache and showed such great strength and character! I love learning these background stories that make me admire athletes, even if it did make me cry! Watching Caitlin brings me such joy and fun. She makes me better and I've never played basketball! ❤️
Great story and thx for sharing
This was a wonderful video and a great history lesson as well. Love it.
Thanks for sharing about these past greats! You are right, CC is bringing attention to the whole WNBA, past and present!
My parents and siblings are die hard Trojan fans. The 83 team played at the Los Angeles Sports Arena. Last time I seen women's basketball in college, never watched the WNBA till now. That same intensity and excitement is back with a vengeance. Thank you CC and yes let's Honor the greatest team in drawing in the girls to dream about a career after college basketball was over. The true pioneers.
Adrienne, what a great podcast.... I never knew about Cynthia Cooper and now I did the research on her!! Bless you!!
Cynthia has the greatest championship accomplishments in WNBA HISTORY... 4X FINALS MVP😂😂😂❤ comet's 4 PEAT, them fake ass modern day GOATS like DT will be eaten up by CC😂
Glad you shared this! As someone new to the WNBA, it's amazing to hear this stories.
It's wonderful when someone you admire continues to be admirable in the present, isn't it?
Love hearing about your background! Great pictures!
Great to hear from the OG giving her thoughts and feelings on how the game has changed Respect 🔥💌🙏🏽
This brings to mind an interview with Little Richard. He was asked about Elvis Presley covering his song 'Tutti Frutti'(it went to #17 on the Billboard charts in 1956) Little Richard said at first he was disgusted by Elvis covering it. But after it flew up the charts he said, "By Elvis recording it, it made the song bigger and made me bigger". RNB
CC brings the crowd! 😁
I love C. Cooper!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🏀
Great video, Adrienne!!! You know I watched Swoopes score 47 points in the 1993 national championship, and I loved the Comets: Cynthia Cooper, Sheryl Swoopes, Tina Thompson, Kim Perrot, and Janeth Arcain. I just can't remember who played center. I'm so glad that you had the opportunity to meet Coop and to bring some of your players to meet her. What a great memory for you to treasure! God bless you, Adrienne.
Everything Adrienne said is what Cheryl Swoopes needs to understand. It's not about your career being overlooked but being recognized.
Remember I said this on this day....the day everyone cashes that 1st Caitlin Clark effect check, will be the same day they all get on same page and appreciate Caitlin Clark.
The court checking will lower expeditiously. ✌🏀
Another great perspective.
Thank you AR.
My phone google searches are full of retired and current WNBA players…….the Caitlin Clark effect.
That’s the mindset the players could have modeled from Day 1. Coop is modeling true leadership.
THIRTY THOUSAND??? 😱😱😱
I remember when you had under 350 subs. Your channel has exploded.
Congratulations.
What an amazing story. Thank you for sharing. Athletes can make powerful impressions on our lives.
I'm learning more about the WNBA from you because of Catlin. Thank you.
Wow, I did not know there show that I would enjoy as much as I do yours. Today’s show has to be the best that you have presented as it made me so much better by just watching it. Very positive and uplifting. Thanks!
Congratulations on 30,000+ subscribers! So well deserved! Always appreciate your perspective.
I really enjoy your truthful, rational, thoughtful, positive way of breaking down all of the issues and drama surrounding CC and the Fever. I was never a WNBA fan until the Caitlin Clark took effect for me during her junior year at Iowa. Now I have the CC Fever! 😂
correct, I'm only learning the names of some of the other players because of tuning in to watch Clark. Clark made Chenedy famous...trust. Reese too in college with the championship game
When it's all said and done, CC is the MJ of WNBA.. period
Thank you Ms. Ross... for a quick background history. 😊❤🎉
Adrienne, you have such good stories. You live to appreciate the moment and share it with sprinkles of life lessons and appreciation ❤
I really enjoyed this. It brought back memories of that era. Great job as usual, Andrienne.
Excellent flashback
K and footage...shout outta to pope and fly for getting the quote of the year!
Adrienne, I've become a fan of yours because of Caitlin. I have also become a fan of the whole Fever team but also several players on the other teams. I wish all the best. I subscribed and I'll keep watching.
Great session Adrienne. You keep history alive and are to be cherished. EYE cherish you. Thank you for sharing! ❤❤❤
I also was a fan of the Comets I loved Coop. She was a beast. I remember some those teams from the W that folded. There were some great players.
Outstanding segment Adrienne!
True it makes us watch and learn! Remain Teachable❤
Honestly, the grace she has for people who say terrible things is an example....that she makes me want to follow 🎉❤
I'm a first time watcher and your right because of CC that I know any of them !! 😊😊😊😊😊 Good job
CC is the most exciting to watch in the WNBA the dimes, and deep 3's are unbelievable
