Can we talk about the shock of a female on ESPN actually “mostly” speaking kindly about CC and seeming to give her a positive spin? Still don’t think there was enough significance given to how amazing this game and win was overall though. 1. First Rookie triple double EVER in WNBA. 2. They came from behind with a BIG deficit in the 4th quarter (11 pts) to tie a record 3. They did ALL that against the NUMBER ONE TEAM. I felt this was so momentous I showed the highlights to my wife and 13 year old and made sure to set the scene. Made sure they watched it all. Elle’s lack of enthusiasm still makes this feel like she’s being dragged across the line to this momentous point in WNBA history.

WHY DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT THIS???? Your own network gave us this highest IMPACT STAT CLARK is number 1 in the WNBA at 713 - over the best players in the league ESPN noted, Clark scored or assisted on 46 of the Fever’s 83 points on Saturday. Clark is still atop the WNBA’s points scored or assisted chart coming out of Sunday @ 713, too. Dallas’ Arike Ogunbowale scored 13 points and assisted four times to account for 21 points, while Las Vegas’ A’ja Wilson scored 28 points and had a pair of assists to account for 33 points. That brought their respective season totals up to 705 points scored or assisted on for Ogunbowale and 671 points scored or assisted on for Wilson. To be fair to Wilson and New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu, the Fever have played two more games than the Aces and one more than the Liberty to date. Nevertheless, Clark being alongside those names is another indication of the magical rookie season she’s enjoying and a strong argument in the WNBA Rookie of the Year chase.

Devil Reese only gets her rebounds off her own missed shots. It takes her three rebounds to make two points. Caitlin Clark's assists are about half of what she should have gotten, because the other players can't handle her passes. It isn't even close. CC is ROTY, MVP, and the GOAT.

Come on now. If anyone's throwing Shade it's you my man. Ionescu said that was The Fever's Super Bowl huh? Well they came into your own Arena with The Liberty boasting the best record in the league and won The Super Bowl.

Elle needs to understand that at the beginning of the season and even still some recent games this is the Superbowl for the opposing teams playing the Fever. Look at how much defensive attention Caitlin got in the beginning of the season being picked up all the way at the other end of the court for inbounding. She has pushed through so much and it's only going to make her better. We're already seeing the results of that now. She's faced hazing in the beginning of the season from the other W players. She's also been the spotlight for the entire W and teams/players want to make a statement by bringing home the win against Caitlin and the Fever. The defense has calmed down some but she still consistently gets doubled and occasionally tripled. For her to have as much success as she is in spite of that and actually BECAUSE of that (because it's only increasing her level of skill as she's learning to navigate through this) shows her talent. Pure and simple.

The look on AB's face when Caitlin said I'm just happy we won after the reporter asked about her triple double is priceless. Looked to me like AB was shocked, like she couldn't believe CC wasn't taking the credit she deserved!

Clark had 17 triple-doubles in her college career at Iowa -- and the Hawkeyes won all those games. This legacy because of her amazing talent looks will continue in the WNBA.

Dude, there was no shade. Guys you think different man.

To me, AB seems like a truly genuine person, friend to CC, and a great player in her own right. Their improving play together contributes to a growing team chemistry making everyone better.

The suggestion that AB was throwing shade at CC with the "humble" statement is an example of why people dislike media people. You take a BS notion in your head and try to create a controversy. At least Elle had sense enough to shut him up.

"I love petty." No kidding lady as you are the definition of petty.

I love the victory lap image!! You're spot on! They're playing with Caitlin, "just wrap yourself in the flag and take a lap!"

Fever won 13 games last yr no?

Dude is right! Everybody who plays them plays like it's their superbowl!!

As a fellow Iowan I know that Caitilin is truely humble it isn't an act we call it Iowa Nice.

AB sounded genuine in her praise of CC. Both are cut from the same cloth of classy humbleness.

Watch the Indiana Fever. Ignore all the talking heads. They just describe the scenery.

AB and Caitlin have known one another for years and are friends. Caitlin and her team are going to be a force in the future and that is what Caitlin is working towards. She is clearly very hard on herself.

The league defends, traps, blitzes CC as if she is a superstar. Nobody even comes close to the kind of pressure CC gets. Despite all that, CC achieved the triple double that no rookie has ever done. CC is arguably the best point guard in WNBA right now.

“I’m not trying to make any assumption,” he says as he makes assumptions.

ESPN be fair what you analyzed. The world is watching and hears what you say esp. about Clark. Some of the commentators of ESPN were ONESIDED.

The chemistry between Boston and Clark is the best in the league and the team.

Elle Duncan wouldn’t have a job at ESPN if she didn’t love pettiness.

First of all Boston is not that type of teammate everyone isn’t coming for CC she literally seem genuine for her teammate. But this guy seem so Bias towards Catilyn that even the talk about Resse seem uncomfortable to him. The lady was very fair to everybody

I seriously don't care all that much about double doubles and even triple doubles. What I see is Caitlin making a lot of difficult, timely, pinpoint passing and her assists average going up. She is shooting at a lower percentage than expected though and not scoring as much as expected. But Caitlin can rebound, gets steals, sometimes gets blocks and does a lot in her usage. She and Boston are forming their own version of Stockton/Malone and Mitchell is the break down the defense one-on-one expert who, when getting passes from Clark late in the game, is knocking them down. So she gets her own shots or gets assisted shots. Lexi Hull provides solid defense and some intangibles and Temi is an agile big body that is something of an enforcer, something the team definitely needs. Clark overall has to extend her offense to the midrange but she has a lot of tools in her toolbox. If she gets high rebounds and high assists then she'll get the so-called "triple double" because 10 points is nothing for her. But mostly, Clark is a very high IQ player, something Skip Bayless doesn't seem to understand, and truly a borderline elite passer. Yes, she has TOs. High usage players tend to and she's just learning the league. So, they're not the big deal people make them out to be.

So many people say that Clark needs to get a midrange game. She has a midrange game, but probably does not use it enough.

AB is having fun with CC because CC is so humble. I watched them training in the gym and they're having fun!

CC has always been humble and has never let her ego become prevalent when being interviewed. Basketball is a team sport, and she has always given credit to her teammates. I think her personality makes it hard for her to accept compliments, so she keeps it out of the conversation. Pride is a sin to many Christians.

I guess not all ESPN talking heads are against Caitlin Clark. But in all fairness, all the people favoring Angel Reese all preface their current pick with “if I had to pick now…” which gives them a cop out if Caitlin increases her stats and bring the Fever to the playoffs.
