Good job describing the atmosphere Rich, I could imagine what it would be like. That is how many people describe her games, even regular season games in college, as playoff, championship type excitement, every game. Even seeing on TV, amazing! Thanks.
Clark is boosting the WNBA and the whole league hate her I don’t understand it. She is helping that league so much.
Haters gonna hate.
i didnt know she worked in the WNBA front office lending input to marketing, advertising, and promotion that are bringing fans and spectators to the W games. she is really versatile. all this without being on social media, she is her
Stop it she’s putting butts in the seats. Nobody would be watching if it weren’t for Caitlin Clark
They hate her because she's YT
@@armathis2647 just say you wouldn’t be watching…many of us have been fans and will continue to be fans long after she’s gone
I was at the game in LA on Friday night it was so lit! The energy was amazing! But seeing Clark play in person was something to witness
She's not actually good against pro players.
@@zachansen8293 Hardly anyone is! 😂
She had 30 points that game, it was one of the best games any WNBA player has ever had. She’s the only rookie to ever have that stat line and one of only four players in the WNBA. She may have missed some shots early on, but the girl had a great game.
I mean, even in fever history, tamika catchings has 2 different games as a rookie where she scored more! people just forget
I do love CC, they need to listen to Lisa bluder and open up the game for the offenses like the nba did
Her basketball skills are more advanced than her teammates they act like it's the first time they have ever seen a pass...
Cap
@@kaysera6566 couple of them really do struggle at catching outlet passes
@@kaysera6566 Negative Cap
She passes a lot like how the guys do and these girls haven't adjusted which causes additional turnovers.
Boston is a 2 time player of the year and a has won a Championship in college. Rookie of the year last season and the best fg percentage in the WNBA plus and all star. Delusional Clark fans never want to talk about her costly mistakes.
Thank you for that description of the game. I want to watch Caitlin play much like I want to watch Sydney McLaughlin-Verone run. It's just great to watch the best.
Thanks for describing the excitement that follows Caitlin. The rest of the country is seeing what us Iowans have been enjoying the past few years. She is the real deal on and off the court.
This girl gets better and better. I'm so impressed. Blocks, hitting the rim, rebounds, and her defense is improving every game.
The Fever may not be winning, but she is fascinating to watch.
This. While I'd really like for them to win a few more I tune in to watch her mad skills. If they end up with the worst record again maybe they can draft Kiki in the 2025 1st round. Both of them on the team will be a vast improvement. She could break the assist records.
If she had some teammates that could set a decent pic, they would win more. Their one center rolls out of the pic way too soon, messing up the action. 😊
Clark is a league changer. What impresses me is the way she's dealing with all the hate and yes her passing is very impressive a surprise to me.
The Fever need more good players so opponents can’t just focus entirely on Clark. Even MJ needed a strong supporting cast.
they have the rookie of the year.......
And a coach that knows how to meld and inspire a team.
Kiki from Stanford may be arriving in 2025!
@@theunofficialofficial9571 who if you watch boston play you wonder why .
@@stevecourtois3741 can say the same for you, because Boston is their best player.
Clark is a great player. Just a lot of jealousy. She's just getting started
As one of the few people who have been all in on women's basketball for the past few years it's really cool to see the eyeballs being directed at the women's game. They play hard, and smart... I love the WNBA.
She is bringing the crowds. Everybody needs to get on board. Play ball. Everybody can be seeing bigger paychecks.
Rich you are a sports analyst and a good one I am nearly 68 and grew up listening to the Baseball game under the covers on my transistor radio, in the 70's I found Football and then college sports in the '90s, I have never liked the NBA but love College Basketball and Football. I never would have set up my life around a pro basketball game. I was a kid when Lou Al Cinder was a thing but this Caitlyn Clark has me hooked I'm now planning around the Fever games, disappointed she didn't make the USA squad, unless she is in Paris the Summer Olympics are not on my schedule
Same happened when Magic and Bird came in. It took the team a while to raise their game to catch some of those passes. I Never missed a game in Boston Garden when those two teams played.
He's right most of the time at 94 feet she's already being shadowed. The closer she gets to half court bring on the double teaming. Bring on the playoff level defense.
I saw the game and I couldn't believe how many lay ups them girls missed butt Caitlin Clark is great and she can do everything and once she gets hot she'll score 40 a game and shut up all her critics
People forget Curry wasn’t shooting that great until the one game in NY and he’s been hot ever since.
@@FolluahBelyeev sheesh we gotta wait 5-7 years for her to get her legs?
@@theunofficialofficial9571 she’s played eight games in a game that’s faster and bigger. No player goes to the league and dominates immediately. The fact that you asked that question show me I’m speaking to someone that knows absolutely nothing about any sport at all. We GoTtA WAit 5-7 YeARs.. WTF kind of question is that 😂 most professionals barely even last that long for reason outside of not playing well in your first games as a pro.
@@FolluahBelyeev wow, i responded to your comment, that lets me know that i was talking to someone thats talking out the side of their neck, and dont realize what they said
I really doubt 40 a game but she could set a personal record for that. I'd rather see her with more assists but they need to make those shots when they get the pass.
I remember that it took a bit for the Celtics to handle Bird's passes, but they also had an entire off-season to work together.
CC and her teammates barely had time to practice together (2 weeks from the college championship) and were thrown into 7 games, coming one after the other and mostly vs top 5 teams. She and her teammates form a very young team that's learning about one another on the fly.
Rookie Bird led Boston from 29 wins the year before he got there to 61 wins in 1979-80, his rookie year, reviving the Celtic dynasty
A lot of hate towards this woman. She’s single handedly, bringing wages and more business to the WNBA.
that's crazy i didnt know that her pockets were that deep that she paying all the players and that she has multiple businesses that she is bringing to the W
You are not respecting or making the league evolve if you only show love for one player.
Not true last season attendance and viewers were the best in years so its not just because of her. Las Vegas home games have been sold-out going on two seasons because A'ja Wilson and they're two champions . Chicago Sky attendance is up because of Reese.
@@bigbds222that is true, but it’s still undeniable she helped bring more attention to the league
How about the fact that she is making the WNBA some Profit FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME IN ITS EXISTENCE !!!!
It's good to see Boston buying into CC, she's a very smart young woman 💯 not only am I a CC fan I'm also an Aaliyah Boston fan now!
Excellent synopsis
That's Caitlin's trademark. 3s at the end in crunch.
@Christisking821 you got the clown trademark 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤣🤣
@Christisking821😂😂😂. Exactly
League lost money 27 straight years...zero headlines of non fever sellouts/record revenue games no matter how small the gym is. Clarks the draw....
Other teams are selling out and have been that aren’t playing the Fever but that’s not reported because it doesn’t fit the media’s narrative
@@michellesmith9522 great , name the game...?
Bingo..
@@michellesmith9522 Yeah, I call bullshit....Complete bullshit..
@@donaldcummings8407 You'll call bullshit on what basis? Where are your stats?
I have stated the same thing about how teams defenders pick Catlin up litterally when the ball is inbounded.. they are playing her like its GAME 7 25 seconds left in an NBA championship game.. NOTHING wrong with that.. but if shes picked up and or double teamed.. that means someone on the Fever is open...thats on the coach to call those plans.. and we all know she will be double teamed or gaurded with a little extra mustard on it.. whoever is open needs to capitalize on that..
She isn’t usually doubled. She gets trapped off of the high pick and roll and screens. Yes they play her almost full court and tight!!! But it is usually single coverage
@@Ember_JanerFINALLY SOMEONE TELLS THE TRUTH…one person comments the lie and fans run wild with it..that’s all you read now it’s unfair how they’re guarding Clark… these ladies are playing to win
No different than how they played Sabrina and Kelsey when they entered the league after being drafted #1 overall. It's professional sports and she's a shooter. What do you suggest, teams allow her to get comfortable, and they just give her free reign to shoot against them? She is shooting under 30% on wide open 3s so...
@@BlindedBySight correct. They are guarding CC the way you guard dangerous shooters. CC is a dangerous shooter and it is to be respected. However you can see the other aspects of her game that are lacking like ball handling, and moving without the ball.The inability to drive left or create space off the dribble.
All things she can develop with time and I believe she will.
@@Ember_JanerHow many players does it take to trap? 2? That’s double! So it’s a double team! 🤦♂️
Watching her play and having watched Mahomes play for several years...she is a Mahomes of basketball.
Tf outta here😂😂😂😂
@@Laylow1212 She sees plays and moves that the others can't or can't keep up with. Watch her play.
@@THuff808 Dude this is a silly take.
😂😂😂
lol
Then she drops 30 last night on the Sparks in a loss. She's starting to learn the game and getting used to the pace. A lot of upside for her, hope she gets a good team around her. Cameron Brink is looking like she's going to be elite too.
wherever she plays it's like a fever home game,
it's carryover from being a Hawkeye
I've been saying this from the beginning, Caitlin's passes are incredible, her teammates can't keep up!
Clark is bringing such a Flow, awesome
Caitlin Clark sure is special. She’s the best thing that has ever happened to the WNBA. Absolute class. And she’s a pretty good basketball player too.
Should have drafted Kate martin in the 2nd round
Dang they had Kate in their sights but took Taylor from Ohio St, who this coach never plays. We'll see if that works some day but in hindsight Fever could have more wins by now with Martin. But then again...this coach and her subs. Aces love Kate and it looks like the best fit for her.
CC22 deserves respect for what she accomplished in college whether she is liked or not. She has game awareness, and I enjoy watching her pass as well as shoot. Her teammates need to be ready for those passes.
It's good to see Rich's fellow tribesmen supporting Caitlin
Clark creates such a flow that is fast, precise/perfect and so worth seeing. She seems like a descendant of Bob Cousy's original moves. Awesome
Seems like CC needs better teammates
The Fever hardly had enough time to practice together, and they got thrown into more games than the rest.. CC was barely 2 weeks from the college championship games. They (team mates) are learning about one another on the fly, and going against veterans and teams that have been gelling for quite a bit🤷♂️
as professional ball players that dont matter, to an extent
@@theunofficialofficial9571not true each player has there spots they like to shot from receive passes spot up threes learning during a game a lot harder than practice,professional or not Sur .take care God and Country
I love Caitlin Clark's game.
Rookie of the Year Caitlan Clark ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The WNBA needs to lean into Ms. Clark’s popularity! A star is someone I recognized, I can’t name another WNBA player aside from Ms. Clark.
Franky speaking, I'm not watching WNBA, but when I heard CC, im not failing to watch all fever games
saw Pistol Pete in college...often the only one that knew where the ball was was Pete...neither team, ours or his could keep up.
She is now the All time Scoring Leader in NCAA. Caithlin Clark blew away the record of Pistol Pete.
“Blew away the record of pistol Pete”. Pistol Pete played 83 games and averaged 44.2 points per game and this is before the THREE POINT SHOT WAS INTRODUCED. Clark played 139 games and averaged 28.4 points per game WITH THE THREE POINT SHOT. You’re embarrassing and you look foolish with that comment. Think before you speak
@@r3tr0actiongamer24 Funny nobody was saying that when NONE of men and women got near Pestol Pete's record. Now that Clark topped it by almost 300 points, you are making a lot of excuses. You are splitting hairs because you are one of her dtractors. And that's coming from a long-time Pestol fan.
Once again, completely ignoring the rules change and the amount of time.
She's great in her own right.
It is not the same record - it's not the same game.
Blew away? No freshman eligibility or 3 point line for Pete. Two completely different records.
Pete played against men. It's apples and oranges.
Well done great factual comments. Turnover who cares
And that, my friends, is the Caitlin Clark effect. Folks all over the country come to see CC and some decide, hey some of these girls can play and come back for a second look at the home team. It's then up to the local ladies to hold the new fan's interest. Otherwise they go back to watching the Fever on TV.
Temi rocks!
If she could just keep her fouls down.
Enjoy these moments, guys. You may never see her like again.
Never understood how in the WNBA, the Fever has someone getting doubled and the rest of the team mates are not cooking and getting points off being unguarded. That's crazy.
Coach with no sense
Temi Fagbenle is the only player on the team who understands how to run the court. Watch her the next time they play.
They trying. Even Eisen said they are watching girls mishandle her passes
@@sevenfights She's a gazelle. And when she gets the ball, she puts it up and doesn't dribble around. She's terrific.
Her teammates aren't used to her style of play yet. She's got an amazing b ball IQ. If she's doubled up like usual sees Boston open and a chance to pass the ball she will. Boston should know that every now and then the ball will get passed to me
Clark is the top scorer in the WNBA and is the top in turn overs in the WNBA, so what? King James is the top scorer in the NBA and is the top in turn overs in the NBA. Conclusion, the more you handle the ball the more chances for a turn over.
Stat padder from iowa
i still don't understand why nobody guarded her in college . They let her WALK THE BALL up the court
Lmao. She was guarded heavily in college. Stop making g thi gs up.
🤣
@@PronounsFUno she wasn’t and when she was she was flustered and pushing off
@@michellesmith9522👆here’s another one. 😂
@@michellesmith9522cry more.
The photos LOLOL. That backside though.
Hey Rich,your Michigan man down in Houston just got Richer. 3/75 . Nico Collins
Catlin Clark as did Bird and Magic in the NBA has brought excitement and a jolt to the WNBA as never has happened and is carrying this league to new heights and Stardom
the difference is Bird made a crap team GREAT in his rookie year, Magic did the same. CC is just throwing up shots and throwing passes away, she is not carrying the league.
Y'all know Kutcher is from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, right?
He is like me; a proud U. of Iowa dropout!
Cameron Brink isn’t getting any hate like Caitlin Clark is getting from other players.
I’ve gotta ask this one…how would Caitlin and the Indiana Fever team fare if Caitlin played alongside her Iowa state teammates in the WNBA? Would they be winning more games?
At least in Iowa her teammates could catch a ball an set a proper screen.
One thing that is an absolute guarantee, she will rise up and adapt to the challenge and become the best player in the WNBA.
Maybe, but that's a high hurdle. Diana Taurasi is no joke and still at it.
@@ld4974 you should consider her college basketball career where she surpassed Pete Maravich in scoring, and that my friend, was a hurdle so high that no college men were able to accomplish.
@@jasonjackson5696 True, but even Maravich was never considered "the best player in the NBA". I'm a CC fan, but it's a different league.
@@ld4974 - dude, wake up - she’s a chick who outscored all others - including men to pass Maravich, who was the highest scorer in college history.
The WNBA is a completely different game & was boring until Caitlin came around, not to mention, companies like Nike, Gatorade & Wilson would not have signed huge endorsement deals with her if they didn’t see the potential.
Please connect what Larry and Magic did in bringing the NBA from late night to prime time with what Caitlin and Angel will do for WNBA.
Much love Caitlin
Great game on Friday nite. Too bad they didn't schedule a 2nd game for the Fever at LA Sparks this season. Smdh.
I remember when John Elway was playing football his receivers couldn’t handle his passes because he threw so hard or not used to his passing and John Elway became super star, wait till CC teammates get used to her passing and then they will be great.
Luv CC
Ever see a fan wearing an Angel Reese jersey? I'm still waiting! (Her mama doesn't count!)
Need Del Tufo to speak up more, his reasoning on things cracks me up.
I don't know the league well. But Mitchell played HS basketball in my neck of the woods, and she was dynamite there and at OSU. I'm surprised that she and Clark are not a better back court duo. I'd think that they'd drive teams nuts. Indiana's weakness seems to be in its front court. That center with the long hair just rumbles and bumbles up and down the court.
Clark had a few turnovers and a few missed shots. But she played a great game and is going to be one of the greatest since Larry Bird!
Caitlin Clark
Until stumbling over a news item, I had less than no interest in women's basketball, at any level.
.
One Second of seeing CC-22 impersonating Stephen Curry hooked me! The second second and I realized Caitlin Clark wasn't copying anybody!
.
Because what I know is based on clips showing her shooting half-court 3-pointers and making magical passes, reminiscent of Magic Johnson to Kareem when everyone in the stadium and home in front of their television KNEW the Sky-Hook was coming and nobody could stop it, I see patterns where the playing style of CC-22 is changing the team. Boston figured out that all she has to do is get below the basket, stick out a mitt and the basketball would appear in it.
.
Anyway, I think she is playing perfectly, playing her game and letting the team adjust to things like having a pass actually come to them, and supporting each others play. I think I see a team in name becoming a team in practice.
what they did to Caitlin Clark in court is normal … they have to make Caitlin Clark honest …
CC. Luv her
I'm liking Clark to Boston just about as much as Joker to Mal.
That's good entertaining stuff.😅
Special player!
Susie at a sparks game 😂😂😂
She said i equal to all I gif I practice more I love ❤️ the game I play for the team not my self amen
Caitlin will make people want to watch the WNBA which will benefit all the players when the league gets more TV money.
I saw the same as you, she makes excellent passes and they go through her teammates hands. If they could catch, she would have double the assists...
If only the coaching were better
test... are comments turned off?
The one thing she doesn't have that a lot of greats have is the ability to use size to get her shots off. MJ, Lebron, Kobe, when all else failed, they could kinda back someone down and then fade away over top of defenders to get a shot. Caitlin isn't that big, so she has to work super hard to get shots up if the other team decides they want to make it their life goal to prevent that
Clark is tall enough, but she has not yet developed any post-up game. That’s probably because she has always been able to shoot from deep and drive effectively.
She's more Curry, than any of those guys you mentioned.
@@smandin1 Yeah I agree, that's a good comparison
Is Clarke even old enough to know who Ashton Kutcher is?
She plays like an NBA point-forward. No fancy dribbling, but handles and shoots like a guy. That is, no pushing the ball up for longer shoots, and no a confident comfort level with the ball you don't see with women players.
Her "teammates" & coach are now on the hot seat - got to show and PLAY
The analogy is when LeBron and D-Wade effectively ended "Linsanity."
Clark is definitely great. No question. But i would never accuse her of being pretty.
Good game Caitlin but LA Sparks play defense like Michigan State..
isn't this the genius who applauded and giggled after tyrdrausi and birdie tajked trash about clark what a jerk!
Watch out Rich you'll be labeled a racist for appreciating her stellar play.
wish jack is still around
There may be an "I" in the name Caitlin but not in the word "team." Congratulations on Caitlin's accomplishments and the team's loss.
How about we ask Bill Laimbeer if he wants to unretire from coaching and take over the Fever coaching job. He has the WNBA championship pedigree and he could coach the female Larry Bird, which would be the most ironic thing EVER!
Established NBA stars treated Michael Jordan and LeBron James the exact same way when they came into the league. Hell, the NBA players union thought Steph Curry was a gimmick so undeserving of his unanimous first MVP, they invented their own award…to give to James Harden. And that was the last time they ever handed one out. Saltiness knows no gender.
Her teammates need to step up on skills and having her back
The Great Hope Nation 😂
She has men excited!
Officiating is either terrible or purposely not calling obvious fouls. And the veterans are doing similar to other rookies
I wish Larry Bird could coach Lady Bird C.C. to make a new history of basketball!
So glad she didn't go to a coast team.
The Clark affect
Yes, the sparks are supposed to defend her. In other news...
Remember, the greatest 3 pt shooters of all time miss 6/10 shots.
