Lol she clearly pushes her elbow in her face at 17 seconds and then after that she looked back and taunted Carter after Boston got the bucket but your screen name tells it's own story. Princess Clark could never do anything wrong in your eyes clearly :LOL:

From ESPN:

"Clark became the first rookie in WNBA history to record 150 points, 50 rebounds and 50 assists in a 10-game span."

Amazing

Nah... Carter has both hands around her arm as she is falling pulling Clarks arm towards her. You're a racist so Clark could never be good in your mind because she's Straight and White...

Imagine if a man such as Brittany Grinder committed this hard foul against her.

Bwahaha oh gosh don't tell me I've found ANOTHER dumb prick who hasn't read a book in their life and doesn't HAVE A CLUE what "racism" is? :spock: Smh the lack of educated people on this forum IS SCARY!! ROFL

Correct me if I am wrong, but when Tiger Woods brought interest (money) to the PGA, I don't recall these type of actions/conversations taking place?

Fuzzy Zoeller got in trouble for a remark about Tiger Woods wanting fried chicken and collard greens served at The Masters. But that kerfuffle quickly passed.

Regardless of what actually led to Carter's foul on Clark, I think even the most entrenched Clark truthers would admit she's no sweetheart.

She's definitely a shit starter and a shit talker but, from what I've gathered, she's masterful at it. She pushes the right buttons throughout the contest until she gets the ultimate reaction.

This is a major component of both her game and the resentment towards her. Nobody liked that kid in school, the manipulative teacher's pet who never seemed to get caught doing wrong but always managed to provoke others to the point of getting in trouble.

Granted, this isn't anything new - getting into your opponent's head to take them out of their game and make them do something uncharacteristic to their own detriment.

However, for Clark, this is compounded by all the hype, the unprecedented endorsement deals, royal treatment and a large segment of the media saying she's the savior (or the golden goose as somebidy labeled her earlier in the thread) of the WNBA and all the veteran players need to 'let her cook'.

Now, could Carter and/or other players simply be hating her because she's white and straight? Possibly but I'd say that notion is laughably absurd.

I think if any player holds resentment toward Clark it's for reasons I stated earlier. That's why demanding that the WNBA and it's veteran players wilt so that Clark can thrive is asking for an even bigger bullseye on her back.

They don't hate her simply because she is white and straight or they would hate every straight white woman in the league. They hate her because she is billed as the savior of the league coming with all the hype and is white.

That and making millions. WNBA has a large % of their league who think they should be entitled and making the same type of money the nba players make. The corporations should pony up more.

Clark understands she is a ball player but also entertainer.

BRILLIANT POST AND TOTALLY AGREE!! :clap:

But sadly if you have any other view about Clark other than "she's a God and everyone should bow to her", the morons will start crying and throw their dummies out their prams.

This is a Caitlin Clark appreciation thread you doofus.

ANYWAY UPDATE ON CLARK!!..

Indiana had a tough back to back game against New York tonight and it was Clark's worst performance of the season. She was 1/10 from the field and 1/7 from three as they were blown out by 36 points to move to 2-10. There was no drama in this game. She didn't get roughed up. And both Mitchell and Smith both got 21 and 17 respectfully to help Clark but Caitlin just laid a massive egg. I'll give her some grace because they did have a tough war yesterday against Angel Reese and Co and New York are a top team. But the slump from three continues to be an issue.

No you dumb prick it's a "Clark is awesome" thread highlighting a bucket. Nothing about "appreciation" you Clark groupie hoe ROFL

She had a stinker for sure. Hopefully not too many or the WNBA will revert back to obscurity.

Except the entire wnba media has treated it with resentment and some have specifically said it’s because she’s white and straight. Check out the discord from the pre-clark wnba fans. They resent it. I’m rarely one to call the race card on either side but it is blatantly being used here. And if the media is saying it there’s a good chance the players believe it too. It’s not the reason she’s famous or resented, but she is famous and they resent that it’s happening to someone who is white and straight. Angel Reese is also a shit talker and makes way more than the average wnba player, but you don’t see the same level of resentment from the media or the players. Ironically, it mostly comes from Caitlin clark supporters.

And nobody is saying players should let her cook. The question is why the wnba allows it to happen. They’ve been swallowing their whistle as she gets lots of hard fouls. This hard foul wouldn’t even be a controversy except that even after official review, the refs stupidly still decided to call this a common foul even though it’s enough to get most nba players ejected. If they want to play her tough and shut her down like ny did, great. But in most games it’s blatantly obvious she is not getting nearly the number of free throws for as much as she gets pushed around

LMAO Would be hilarious if they all ****ed around too much and Clark left to take that Big 3 offer down the road. Instantly plunges the league back into complete irrelevance.

She looked like a burnt out rookie against a really good team on a back to back. That’s part excuses but part reality that she has a huge learning curve. But there’s plenty to the excuse. 11 games in 20 days, every off day traveling until this week, 8 games against a .500+ team. I don’t know what’s typical for a wnba schedule but it seems they’re milking her for early exposure.

It’s crazy to think that between a few weeks of preseason and that schedule this is probably the first week they can legit practice.

I kinda wish she would just to prove a point. Of course it would never happen.

Nah those days are over. Angel Reese, Cam Brink, Aja Wilson etc are all there and Paige and Juju will be joining soon. The league will get bigger with or without Clark.

What about Reese's game is at all entertaining? The 10 foot set shot? Just not seeing her being a draw in 2_3years.

It’s not and that’s not a knock on her. She does a really good job of building her brand. It fits well with the current wnba brand of tough physical players. But it’s just clunky to the majority of the country who are not wnba loyalists. players like Caitlin, juju and Paige are way silkier.

It's deeper than just her game. She built a huge following after the Clark situation and it's followed her to the wnba. And yes she's not as exciting as Clark but beauty can also be found In great defense and rebounding. She's also a warrior on the floor and has been trying to build her offensive skills by hitting a midrange jumpers here and there as the season has progressed.

People want to see highlight reels. You have to understand that. And that’s largely missing from the wnba and that’s why clark has created excitement. Dante hall is not a hall of famer but people would way rather watch him run a few highlights than watch creed Humphrey block. People would rather watch Jason Williams kings highlights than Tim Duncan, who is a hall of famer. There are a million and a half physical wnba players with an awkward shot who have similar games to angel. She has however done a great building her brand, no denying thaf.

Would anyone have a clue who she is if not for Clark? We will see if the league continues to grow around players other than Clark. I mean the league is over 20 years old and this might be the first year that they make a profit without being sustained by the NBA.

Nobody watched the Jordan era Bulls because of Rodman.

I think it's amazing when you look at how the WNBA is treating Clark vs how the NBA treated it's stars. It seems like there is a severe case of vitriol by the league against her vs realizing what she is doing for the league. She is elevating the popularity of the sport and all of the league is benefitting from it.

They have a built in story line that they could run with a Clark/Reese rivalry, similar to the Magic/Bird era. That rivalry worked wonders for the NBA and this could as well for the WNBA if they would just embrace it.

It’s awesome and totally fitting that these racist carpet-munchers are going to destroy the best thing to ever happen to this abomination of a league. Good riddance.

Just like the nba there's Steph but then there's Giannis and then there's Luka and Embiid etc. There should be room for all kind of players. One of the best players I've seen in the nba over the last ten years is Kawhi. Was he as exciting as Kyrie? No. But his incredible defense coupled with his wonderful ability to find space mid or long range to get a bucket consistently was thrilling to me. All types of styles should be allowed to thrive in the wnba. Hell I even love watching Cardoso dominate the boards on both ends of the floor aswell.

Clark and Rees will be playing three more times this season and the ratings should be great just like Saturday's game was.

Omg are you serious? Rodman was one of the most famous players to ever play in the league. The guy was box office :D .

This is what the WNBA needs as there has never been a potential rivalry like this in their history.

Because of his off court antics. No one tuned into watch the Bulls play because of him. He wasn't popular because he rebounded well and played good defense.

Paige and Juju going into the league over the next two years will elevate things even more cause both are arguably more talented than Clark. Paige might actually be playing alongside Clark if the lottery goes Indiana's way again which would be crazy. Then in three or four years time Kaleena Smith, who is a prodigy and has Clark's range from three plus Kyrie like handles, should be going into the league too. So there is gonna be major talent across the league which would create a lot of excitement

Bitches be catty. The dykes in the WNBA do not like a cock gobbler like Caitlyn getting all the attention. It's too bad because without Clark the WNBA might as well fold up shop. It hasn't been profitable in 20 years and now that they have a path to profitability, the players are happy to ruin it because it's not some ****ing darker skinned rug muncher drawing the bigger crowds. Dumb bitches abound in the league. Just look at that bugeyed bitch Reese as an example.

Yep it's gonna be prime time everytime they play. And it's extra juicy now after what Carter did to Clark.

And for all those thinking the players hate Clark because she's white. I'll bet you any amount of money Paige won't have any issues next year. That girl is loved by everyone. Fullstop. But like all rookies she will be tested. That's just the way it goes. And Reese, Clark, Edwards, Jackson, Brink etc have all found that out.

The Bugger takes could get him writing for the Chiefs Editorial Board. Just have to drain Soggy Shane…



**** Lebron too

Paige won't have any issues because she won't be coming off of breaking the ****ing scoring record and being the darling of women's basketball, you drooling moron. You are basically comparing Caitlyn (Jordan) to Paige (Gary Payton).

They aren’t going to replace the buzz of Caitlin clark.its delusional to think otherwise as if college phenoms like plum and ionescu haven’t already tried. I like both their games, but they just won’t. They will make the games more watchable for the crowds Caitlin pulls in.

WTF, dude? Why are you trying so hard to make excuses for the girl in blue? I don't care one way or the other but that was obviously on purpose. She's trying to intimidate. How you cannot see that is beyond comprehension.

Paige was the golden goose before she got injuries and will have a ton of hype going into the league. Especially if she makes another run at March madness.

Juju is breaking Clark's records and is already the face of women's college basket. Imo if she continues down the path she's going she has every chance of building on Clark's buzz.

I like bueckers’ game a lot and honestly like it better than Clark’s. But she alone wasn’t going to save the wnba. Maybe a small bump if any. The only place I will agree is that this new wave of superstars are way more watchable because they play silkier than the average wnba player because, the only way I can put this, they dribble and shoot like dudes.

I don't know about that. If not for Clark, I would say....

"Who, who, who, who and who?

Meh, that first one is a weak argument. The one while she was in college was pretty bad.

Forget it, Jake.

It's Chieffytown

Not gonna disagree on juju Watkins. She’s fun to watch and she’s got a marketable personality and is already pulling in media. She’s probably more Durant than Steph and we know which one pulled in way more buzz.

Please enlighten us. What is racism?

Prepare to be enlightened on how racism is about power and influence and how black people cannot be racist because they don't have any power to oppress white folk.

That's what I want to know. Does this person actually believe that kind of nonsense?

It is pretty obvious that Clark's treatment goes beyond rookie hazing. Her treatment is based on racial and sexual discrimination.

Crabs in the bucket mentality at work. The WNBA players should be thrilled to have her. She has made the contrived league relevant.

The same WNBA players praised Clark for growing the women's game in 22-23. Once, they realized Clark would become the main star in their league, the claws came out.

Who?

I actually think juju Watkins has a shot at being Caitlin clark lite. She’s already doing AT&T commercials and put up Caitlin clark like numbers as a freshman. Like clark it will be because her game is actually fun to watch. I think the newer women’s college players are starting to play more like dudes which will give the game more broad appeal. And let’s be real a huge reason a lot of basketball fans don’t watch is because it’s often award to watch

I have a feeling the.refs swallowed their whistles before CC.the league is boring at before her. Missed easy shots, bad defense, just fouling and grabbing for most players. They needed to do no calls to keep the game going and moving along. Now they have a player that highlights what has been happening for awhile.

The refs need to start calling it and get the lady's into check.


Also. The chennedy lady. She looks like a female version of George Floyd.

Too bad the Indiana Fever doesn't have their own version of Derek Chauvin.

More 'broad' appeal indeed.

Scho, did you **** a bunch of black hookers back in your "prime." I trying to understand why you would down vote this post.

Smh and people around here wanna talk about "racism in the wnba"??? Feck off ROFL

Chennedy was just upset because Clark actually knows who her dad is and she just knows her dad was some dude name Chadderick

You actually believe this? Really?

Especially after the vagina mold.

WNBA got some uuuggggglly bitches in it. Reese may be Sid from Ice Age but she’s at least decent to look at. That thing above gives me the shivers

That's kind of what you and the WNBA appears to be all about. :shrug:

Another bigoted bozo I see :LOL:

At this point i wish she’d join ice cubes league just to prove how stupidly the wnba loyalists are fumbling this bag. God forbid she ever gets injured the league will get a reality check really really fast

Really not sure how to respond to this, but I've narrowed it down to three options:

Pat McAfee calling her a bitch on ESPN today should raise some eyebrows.

Explain how what I said was racist? Caitlyn needs an enforcer to put these bitches in their place. Steph has/had Draymond Greene. Caitlyn needs her own version.
