WNBA Legends Are Already Jealous Of Caitlin Clark...

- Caitlin Clark has taken the women’s game to new heights, and is the most entertaining player the sport has ever seen, but the legends of the game don’t seem to like it. There have been multiple WNBA legends to speak out negatively against Clark, and honestly it’s just disappointing. Here you have the all-time scoring leader in women’s college history, who has tripled viewership records, and is finally bringing women’s hoops to the forefront. But rather than being excited for the change she can bring, they want to discredit her. I guess it’s comforting to know the women’s game has old heads too, like the 80s and 90s NBA players who will say LeBron isn’t even top 5. Breanna Stewart, who is a college legend in her own right, going 151-5 including four straight national championships, was asked if Cailtin Clark needed to win a national championship to be considered one of the greats in women’s college basketball history. In what I would call a shocking response, she said that she does. Respectfully to Breanna Stewart, she couldn’t be any more wrong. Clark is the all-time leading scorer, a top-10 assist leader, and has led Iowa to two straight national title games. Her legacy is cemented. Clark taking Iowa to the title game is more impressive than any one of Stewart’s titles playing on absurdly stacked teams at UConn. In 2016 alone, Stewart’s UConn team had 7 other future WNBA players on it. SEVEN. Clark might be Iowa’s only one. Shifting from Stewart, Diana Taurasi, who is a WNBA legend, was on the alternate broadcast for Iowa’s national semis game vs Uconn and had fans in disbelief. Not only did she say she’d rather have Paige Bueckers than Caitlin Clark, she said that Clark is in for a rude awakening when she reaches the WNBA level. Is she though? Both of the last two number one picks have been all-stars in the rookie season, and when it comes to the level of prospects they are, Clark is heads and shoulders above any other recent top selection. There is no welcome to the WNBA moment, or strict learning curve, so I’m not sure what Taurasi is talking about. WNBA legends are already jealous of Caitlin Clark.
Think about subbing, I'm on the road to 14k!!!

WNBA players blame men for their lack of success but all I see is women bashing other women. All drama, feelings and jealousy.
It boils down to human nature. Woman never hold themselves accountable lol
I hope Clark takes the $5 Million from 3 on 3 or the $10 Million from Portnoy! When asked why she can reference not wanting to intrude into a league where she’s not welcome! That would be the ultimate burn as WNBA ratings plummet!
She's joining the WNBA so quit dreaming. The women in the WNBA are united.
@@upfulsoul826
Against her?
@@upfulsoul826 What does that have to do with Portnoy?
The WNBA will do everything possible to hold back Clark. This is exactly why that league will never succeed.
I don't think she ahold go to to WNBA. They players will go out of there way to destroy her. Let the WNBA die.
How can we all look up to these pathetic veterans when they act like children?
Just jealous because the college women had more viewers this year than the WNBA in it's existent.
Hey i agree.. clark haas never won a championship in highschool or college.. no ones jealous just sicof her being compared to Jordan and Curry
@@blackthought6133She won four gold medals with Team USA on various youth teams. Curry never won a championship in college, either, and the comparison is apt because both he and Clark made their otherwise good college teams into great teams while also dazzling via their flashy play.
@@stavrosforever blah blah blah
@@blackthought6133 you can take the heat, get the hell out of the frying pan.
Diana Taurasi saying that she would take Paige Bueckers over Caitlin Clark is no surprise, after all DT is a Uconn grad so of course she will say that.
When the UConn women were winning NCAA titles, they were NEVER selling out games on the road and sometimes at home.
Plus they were stacked with 5-star recruits, not just 1, like Iowa with Clark.
The wise Al Bundy once said, "No one understand women better than other women and they hate each other".
If you want to take a deeper look you're going to have to accept the fact that the WNBA is also the LBGTQ XYZ... That is where Caitlin will have her greatest struggle if she decides to go to the WNBA
Wishing Kaitlyn success in the wnba. To the haters, envy and jealousy take a lot time and energy.
They have legends in the WNBA? 😂😂😂
She should go play in Europe and let the WNBA fold.
She’d face stronger competition in Europe.
@@colonialstraits1069 Not unless she is playing against men. WNBA is easily the most talented league for women.
Let's keep it real. The WNBA is filled with oversized Lez studs. Men aren't interested in watching a league full of Brittany Griners. Bring in dynamic, young feminine women that can ball out like Katlin Clark. I'll bet the ratings will vastly improve.
That's not true at all.
"Feminine" is subjective. Some people don't even think Caitlin Clark is "feminine" let alone the "Lez studs" you mention. So how about if you like the women's game, then watch and if you don't for whatever reason just go do your thing elsewhere rather than denigrating women for who they are or how they look.
@SeshatPG82
They degrade themselves,,,turning the WNBA into a political platform,,demanding to be paid the same as men,,,even though they don't earn the same revenue, then pitching a fit and trying to turn social media against the NBA when they don't get their way.
Taurasi, Bird etc, the ESPN commentators, spent most of their time talking about themselves instead of the incredible first quarter where CC put SC on notice. I switched to the unbiased network coverage. SC took the note and did what they had to do and did it well. What stats! Each side was gracious in their win or their loss. And all the WBNA ladies could do was snipe. Please just fade away.
Already???!!! Been!!! For 4 years
I think y'all are kinda blowing this out of proportion. Stewie's comment was straightforward and fair, a lot of players really do agree with what she said. I don't know why you'd think she would be jealous as opposed to just answering the question, especially as someone who won four rings. DT's comment I can see as being a bit shady but no big deal. Stop treating Caitlin like a baby who can't handle it. If anything DT said something worse to Angel Reese and of course y'all don't care about that. Don't be so sensitive, Caitlin will be good.
Neither comment was fair. Saying Caitlin isn’t already great is absurd, she’s the all time leading scorer in NCAA HISTORY. DT’s comment wasn’t just shady it’s also flat out wrong. Zero history of harsh adjustments to the WNBA
@@bigherm24yea see you’re misunderstanding Stewie’s comment. The journalist made it clear that she was asking the question in line with ongoing discourse about where Caitlin ranks in the greatest of all time standings for college women’s players. Stewie wasn’t saying she’s not already great in general lol, come on. Breanna Stewart also explained her stance by using the perspective of how players themselves define and perceive their own legacy. There definitely is a dialectic distinction between being “one of the greats” and “being great”
And yea I can see DT’s comment as being more ill intentioned even though you saying there’s zero history of harsh adjustment to the WNBA is absolutely ludicrous lol. WBNA players have already talked about experiencing difficulty adjusting. Just a few days on twitter there was an entire large thread of WBNA players talking about their ‘come to reality’ moments after coming from college.
I can see a chick with a corny nickname stewie would be jealous.
@@ml.9417 It is harder to make it in the WNBA than the NBA due to the concentration of talent on 12 teams. It's not uncommon for first round picks to be cut before their first season. If you think about it the WNBA is essentially comprised of nothing but the 8-10 or so best college players from the past 13-15 years or so.
ESPN 3 has the game without Taurasi and the other 🌈 haters commentating in case anyone else can't stand them and their jealousy and negativity
Who the F is Sue Bird or Breanna Stewart, I didn't see the ratings hitting high when they played. Womens basketball was still an after thought during their tenure.
Sue Bird didn't say anything negative about Caitlin Clark and all Breanna Stewart said was that to be considered a GOAT you have to win championships. Her opinion. Doesn't mean she's jealous of Clark. If you know Diana Taurasi, you know she can be brash. But her comments aren't wrong. Caitlin and the other rookies will definitely have an adjustment period in the W. I understand your wanting to stick up for Clark but Sue Bird, Breanna Stewart, and Diana Taurasi are on the Mt. Rushmore of college women's basketball and they and women's basketball were far from an afterthought when they played. Sue and Diana played on 5 Olympic teams. Now, having said that, Caitlin Clark absolutely brought tons of new eyes to the women's game and was a phenomenon these past couple of years. She helped grow the game for sure.
@@SeshatPG82 Until Caitlin Clark, I never cared about womens basketball or ever gave a rats about their game. My point is Caitlin puts butts in seats and the aforementioned never did, regardless of how many olympics they played in or how many championships they won. Caitlin has already done something those three never were able to do and that is score. Caitlin owns those categories, Sue Bird doesn't, Dianna Tourasi doesn't, Breanna Stewart doesn't. That is why she is considered a GOAT.
These WNBA girls are nuts . Caitlin actually wouldn't have to do any of them a favor by getting paid more and still walk away with a 20 Mill Nike Contract lol
ESPN is a woke network. Clark needs to be aware and leary. If she does not help Iowa gain a national championship expect these people to continue their hate.
Huh
Boys, Guys, Men and RealMen ENJOY watching CAITLIN CLARK play Basketball.
Clark is such an asset to wbb, but only 12 teams in wnba, so only the best of the best get drafted, she will score less but will be feeding the ball to teammates who will finish every time
Lots of jealous lesbians.
guess they will have to have their little sex parties and whine and cry with punny pay while CC is getting her millions
💯
It’s racial
They’re white that’s doing it duh 🙄
Is it racial for Sue bird,Diana taurasi and Breanna Stewart?
@@jj47k. It's not racial. Some of it is jealousy and some of it is reality. In some cases they are jealous of the attention she is getting, but the reality is that the WNBA will be a big step up in competition and she will have to adjust.
It's not racial, it's women hating/jealous of other women and it's the LBGTQWNBA being exclusive, they do not like players who have boyfriends/husbands. And they especially get angry at ones like Angel and CC, who are getting all the money and attention.
@@cobra7282 I think people who don't watch the WNBA underestimate how good the players are. Caitlin is a great (particularly offensive) player and she strikes me as a hard worker so I think she'll be able to play in the league but, like you said, there will be an adjustment period. She's not going to go to the league and just go and take over or dominate like she did on the collegiate level. At least not right away. I'm not an Iowa fan but I'm looking forward to seeing the Boston & Clark duo.
I can't wait for Caitlin Clark shoes
It's been ridiculous. But, it's the ultimate compliment.
Clark's trajectory is pointing upward. She can remain above it, shrug, chuckle, and say "whatever".
She doesn't need the "approval" of the irrelevant, jealous, maxed out dish rags trying to drag her down to their level.
If I were UConn I'd be embarrassed by her/their comments, you'd think the former coach and university would have taught their champions to be more humble and graceful and instead they showed attitude and bias.
I hope ESPN ends their broadcasting contracts.
So Ghetto and why would you have two players from the same college commentating the game when you could've had a les bias commentary with another WNBA legend.
ESPN really screwed up on this one as well as Taurasi, Stewart,and Byrd.
Sheryl Swoops 😂
Lexi Brown sit down and stfu.
Classlessness from Champions.
Thats why none of them make any real money bc they dont get ppls attention as Clark does. Clarks game is exciting and watchable.
If the WMBA would play carnival music the whole game it would be more entertaining and get alot more views. Laughter unites people.
She said 2 plays, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.
Clark is breaking records every game.and getting the recognition deserve. Jealous players
The key that made curry a scorer was coaching. The coach got to let you shoot.
GOAT CC3!
WNBA has legends?
Ikr
Jealous much?
Interesting title. But let's be clear:
The WNBA has employees. The NBA has legends. Dozens actually. The WNBA hates CC because with her on board, they will have to EARN their money!🤣
I understand jealousy but its how you deal with it. Jealousy can be a great motivator. There are people I would say I am jealous of but my jealousy is I wish I could be more like them because I admire what they do, have done or there potenial. But I do not hate the person. If these other woman who are jealous don't realize Baskeball is a team sport and not a me game they are losers. Jerry Rice probably the greatest reciever in the NFL needed a Great player like Joe Montanna as Quaterback who needed a great line and great defense to win games. I think these women who want to destroy a gifted talant because of thier ego is crazy if it bothers you become better. I don't know but when I play against a better player not matter what it is I thrive on the competitian and they make me better at what I am doing. Its also a learning experince and we all can learn something new. Its seems like some of these women are willing to sacrafice winning, more recognition, more money because someone may be better or getting a little recognition. Tom Brady gave up more money so the the Patriots could spend it on better players. Is it any wonder why he is one of the best. He understood its about winning not his ego. I was very impressed by that. I enjoy watching someone who is good at what they do. Catlin Clark got a non Basketball fan like me to watch womens basketball. Heck she is fun to watch,. I wish her the best and can't wait to see her play tonight. I want to see her teaam win and she has a big night and to hell with nasty people.
I find the jealousy absolutely ridiculous….I’m a pre title 9 66 yr old bb player…had to play on boys church teams and voted ok to play by the male deacons on the church…only 2 high school yrs but mvp and could shoot…I am thrilled that CC has brought the attention this game deserves - yes the legendary players were there but it was a different time - viewership opportunities -people just watch the 21 yr old play -believe your own eyes people - never been a logo 3 shooter like her - period 😊
Appreciate your comment as someone with real interesting perspective!
Leflop is not top 100. He would have had to push a mop to get into an arena in the 80s.
Oh brother
Caitlin wardell Purdy
Hmm .owners want to Grow viewers and fill seats ..So yeah WNBA players who want do high school crap will find out real
Quick .who signs the check .what is ok and what won’t be tolerated .You want more money DO NOT BLOW IT
hahahahahaha …
Are you going to make a video if you are wrong?
Wrong about what? They’re hating on her, no two sides to that
Lies!
No lies here
So now u see how it is just cut u think a player is great cuz of stats well 🏆 has to come with ot of ur gonna call her th3 best cuz she had 3 losses this last season and the south Carolina team went undefeated and won the championship against Ms Clark and last year lsu beat her so is she the best player or just 5he best scorer cuz last night she got shut down 18 points 1st and 12 points 2nd 3rd and 4th quarters and like the ladies of the wnba said the other day she's playing with girls just out of highs chool and wnba are playing with worl ld champions so now this guy and all others can hush the fuss up cuz I can name like 20 women better than her and there's a few with back to back championship and one team has 3 in a row and 1 player has 4 but these are black girls and they don't matter
Well i don’t fallowing women basketball but I did watch the last 3 games I realize that she’s is really good but her team is not that good like the other teams she’s faces
No they aren't and she's not the most entertaining player the game has ever seen. Paige and JuJu are just as good in this era in terms of entertainment. JuJu is just 18. Angel Reese is more popular than CC on social media because CC doesn't have much of a personality.
SC will beat Iowa today. UConn showed how to lock CC down.
She has broken every record possible! On a team with no McDonalds All Americans! UConn and USC are both stacked! Learn about the game of BBall before you comment! Wow!
Juju is a massive ball hog. Caitlin just has the numbers to prove she’s the best. That’s all there is to it. Lots of entertaining players though.
And yet somehow the games Caitlin plays in have more viewers.
@@sammy2840 That's off topic. She hasn't broken every record possible and she plays with some good teammates fanboy. Sydney, Kate and Hannah are very good players.
@@Tavat CC is a ball hog too and she is not great on dee. Juju is a freshman and has a huge upside.
