Ms. Clarks’ Gifts and demeanor brought me back to this sport. I was raised in the outskirts of Los Angeles watching the clash of Titans Bird and MJ, then the Jordan era.. since then it was mediocre. I would tune in and watch Kobe and early Lebron , but only the highlights or last game clips at the finals. Then I stumbled upon a highlight reel of a pretty and humble brunette in a Hawkeye jersey, passing like MJ, assisting like Bird and draining shots from the parking lot like Curry on his best night. I thanked almighty God that moment for the gift he gave us ,of the splendor of hardwork and a dream in Caitlin Clark. There is hope in basketball and I am blessed to be alive to see it. Go Fever!! 🤒🙏🥰 Hawai’i is Watching.
I feel the same way. Ohio is watching CC.
me too
Me too. I attended WNBA games in Charlotte and found them very boring and withdrew my attention from the WNBA. I also went to grad school in Iowa and until I saw Caitlin Clark play basketball two years ago in March Madness, I was completely indifferent to women's college or professional basketball. Watching her play is so exciting. And yes I watched the women's basketball teams of USC, South Carolina and UConn play, and had seen several of the UConn games with Taurasi years ago. They didn't make me feel the same as watching Caitlin Clark.
I was born in 1993 so I didn't get to see most of jordan. But I'm thankful to catch Caitlin's time. This coming from someone that never thought the wnba had a chance.
I’m a proud season ticket holder for the Indiana fever. She’s a winner, and Indiana is lucky!
New Fever Fan and WNBA Fan from Minnesota. A Great Fever Team of Talented Players, Great Team Staff, Great Fans! Go Fever Go Caitlin Clark!
this will be my first season ever watching the WNBA only CC games though.. I'm not wasting time with other teams
Good for her .
Caitlin Clark the Goat
CC GO CC GO 🙏🏿
A great person, great player, triple doubles, a TEAM PLAYER.. great for a team I'd say.. yep!
Caitlyn Clark is special,she’s a phenomenal player,I’ve been a huge basketball fan since 1984 & she’s one if the best I’ve ever seen play
best ever? What are you smoking?
I can already imagine that Taylor Swift song playing on a loop in all the Fever games.
🤞🏼🤞🏼
Its on the tv right now !
Always loved female version of basketball, to me, it so entertaining to see basketball played by a different physique, Caitlin Clark perfectly fits that design.
Yes
I hate anything to do with women's sports, yet somehow I've become a fan of Caitlin Clark. I think part of it is that Caitlin isn't a 5'2" airbrushed blonde with big boobs. She looks like a normal, healthy human being who just happens to be excellent at her sport. It gives hope to ppl who weren't blessed with a cookie cutter look. It's ok to be tall. It's ok to not be tan. If you work hard at your craft you can become a success story too. 🙂
She's just a good and likable person when it comes down to it. We are very lucky in Iowa to have had her representing us, her time at Iowa was some of the most fun sports times we've ever had.
That happened to me.
The WNBA will explode with two rookies on the US Olympic roster: Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese!
Just imagine the promo for the Fever vs Sky game. Caitlin Clark against the girls who denied her the National Title -twice. Get ready for Supper Bowl like numbers.
Reese wasn't asked. They know she'd get handled.
Angel Reese isn’t Olympic bound
@@newaulkchill nba regular season is more like it.
Definition of Woman: Caitlin Clark
The Larry Bird comparison is exactly who she reminds me of as far as just fun to watch play,,, its alot more than talent--- like Larry,, she has the 4D court vision,,, sees the play before it develops--- i dont know if the 'non-Caitlin games will catch up--- but i lost interest in the NBA after MJ, the lebron era is boring,,, but i watched every Iowa game i could for 22, and her Coach and Team.
4 years for $400,000 is a disgrace by a failing league... She should have taken Ice Cubes offer. She's going to make a lot more money in endorsement deals, I know, but she could have had both without the headaches of trying to be the WNBAs savior..
She would’ve taken it if she could have. It was a loaded offer that would never of been taken.
@billiestevens318 Thanks for the info, I wish her the best with that awful league tho...
2:49 ..why would it ever be an insult in the first place?
2:18 good point. The Clark effect and new rivalries. Chicago one of them, is going to elevate the WNBA.
I watched Caitlin sink so many 3 pointers, i was amazed. Never, ever, have i been interested in women's sports, let alone college. (5 minutes of lingerie football, got bored).
❤🎉😊
I like the way she pronounces "basketball." Random observation, but she pronounces it like Michael Jordan does (where you basically don't hear the "K" in the word - bassetball). But yeah, I need her Nike shoes.
I just hope the women of the wnba let her play!!
Let me get a jersey real quick.
I want to see attendance in every game that Caitlin is part of this season, Home or away...
Then let's see when she's not there... Close to sold out if she's playing, Close to empty if she's not,..
Possible NBA/WNBA parallel - NBA jumpstart with Johnson and Bird, and followed up with MJ and LeBron. WNBA jumpstart with Clark and A'Ja/Reese, and followed up with JuJu and MiLaysia Fluwiley
Don’t forget about Paige as well
They're not on Caitlin's level. There all on stacked teams clarke was the team
@@jaimep3432 That statement makes zero sense. So, with that logic, if players in a league are not at the same level as the best player in the league, no one will be interested in them. What type of sesame street logic is being used here?
Be honest, you are not a sports fan.
Mark my words she will be a bigger star than Larry Bird and Reggie Miller combined in the state of Indiana when it’s all said and done. I could see her as the Jackie Robinson of the NBA dominating the likes of Steph Curry and Kyrie Irving. The men’s game isn’t as dynamic as the women’s game these days. The tables have turned.
Someone needs to be drug tested
Bird and Magic started the rise of the NBA into a powerhouse but MJ strapped a rocket to it and turned it into a global phenomenon.
Caitlin will probably be the former, but still, her success means the success of the entire WNBA.
Media is certainly shoving her down our throats. I know little about her. Not a NBA fan and will never be a WNBA fan. But good luck to her.
But yet here you are commenting. You’re a fan. Watch the games. Don’t forget to drink responsibly.
People are asking for her. That's how capitalism works.
People want to compare Caitlin's arrival to the WNBA to Bird/Magic to NBA. However, what if her arrival is like Pistol Pete to the NBA. Pete was unbelievable, head of his time, but most of the NBA resented his popularity coming right out of college. Those players resisted him and the NBA almost went under. She is also not a winner like Bird/Magic. Caitlin had a great team at Iowa. She had very good teammates who were willing to hold back so she could maximize her talent. That is not going to happen in the WNBA. Look how much backlash she has already received from WNBA players. I wish her the best, but the expectations seem to be off the chart and very unrealistic.
So glad she's not another mouth breather!
The haters should know that WNBA income will continue to remain stagnant for many years without Caitlin Clark and sponsors she will bring to the organization.
Everyone is looking for a good story. She just happened to be the one
She will rival Peyton Manning and Reggie Miller in success and popularity.
When Juju breaks Clark’s record in 2027 will people still think Clark is the best of all time? Those who think she’s the greatest right now only think that because they’ve never watched women’s basketball before
JuJu might score more than 3951 points in her college career. It depends a lot on whether USC makes deep runs in the NCAA tournament. They it to the Elite Eight in 2024; they have a highly rated recruiting class coming in for next season, and it looks like Iriafen is transferring to USC for her final season.
