Thanks for mentioning the WNBA. Went to Friday’s game between the Mystics and Fever and the energy is there. 20K fans, mostly there to cheer on Clark, not Indiana, but Clark herself!

The hilarious thing is that this crap will just backfire and enhance the CC lore amongst fans while revealing the rest of the 'women' involved as the petulant children they are.

I hadn’t watched a WNBA game in prob 20 years or more. I had no interest in woman’s basketball. I started watching Clark this year at Iowa. I’ve now watched 5 WNBA games this year. All 5 were Caitlin Clark games

I think Caitlin Clark will come through all this nonsense this much stronger.

There's been a marketing push the last handful of years to boost the WNBA's presence, with ads featuring NBA players promoting the women's league. They've been making an effort, but the arrival of Caitlin Clark is the exact kind of force they've needed forever, in spite of greats like Taurasi and Moore having been in the league over the past twenty years. They now have a transcendent superstar who is making waves *outside* the league. The WNBA needs to absolutely ride this wave. Games are selling out now. Jerseys are flying off the racks. There's big marketing eyes on the league now. They need to seize this moment.

Sadly, I agree with what you said about Cailtin Clark.

Your take on Clark makes perfect sense to me. I guess common sense isn’t so common.

It's interesting to hear you talk about WNBA. It's evident that you are a casual watcher, because Aliyah Boston is a great player too. The problem with this team is coaching (which you did mention leadership, so I'll give you that). If defenses key in on Caitlin, she's not an "elite" passer in the WNBA yet. Simply put, she turns the ball over too much right now. I do agree with you that the Fever are SOFT. They need an enforcer. Every elite team has one. You're also right about the veterans around the league...they are completely jealous of Clark. So I guess I both agree and disagree with you. I appreciate this video though!

Thanks for watching and for the feedback!

great take on Clark. The 80's NBA comparison is literally the best comparison you could make. its identical. The WNBA doesn't have to leadership with high intellect and vision it takes to take the league to the next level. i do see the Ind Fever coach being fired soon. If you don't know how to use a superstar, you gots to go.

Never had any interest in WNBA until this year. Caitlin Clark was a blast to watch at Iowa and honestly is the only reason why I even watch any WNBA games.

Good take on the WNBA situation!! 🙌🏻

Dustin, the WNBA has been funded financially by the NBA since day one (they own 50% so they bail them out from any revenue shortfall). The WNBA has never had to fight to survive so they don’t have the right people in place who understand business. They have been saying since its inception in 1996 that they want more eyeballs and bigger salaries for their players. Now they have a player that actually brings in casual fans to the point where they are selling out arenas, and they are jealous of her. Yes, many players, coaches and media are jealous that Clark is getting the attention and they are cutting their nose to spite their face as they have a real chance to finally grow the league. I’m a hockey fan, and i go through the same crap as they just don’t know how to promote their stars and make decisions that are mind-boggling. The NHL has their best player (Connor McDavid) in the Stanley Cup Final and nobody outside hockey fans like me are watching. That’s what the WNBA are doing as Clark should be featured any chance they get. The PGA tour did this with Tiger Woods and look how big the purses are compared to 1996 (before Tiger turned Pro). I looked it up and the purses have gone up 10x.

Lmao this is exactly how women treat each other all over the world. Reminds me of my high schools women's basketball team.

Unfortunately I disagree with your take on Caitlin Clark on multiple fronts. 1) The Olympics was a no-win situation. If she was on the team, she would ridden the bench because she’s not yet a top 8 player. People would have complained about her lack of minutes. If she got minutes, people would have complained she wasn’t a starter. If she started, people would have complained she should get the ball more. There was going to be outrage about the Olympics no matter what. 2) I don’t understand this idea that she doesn’t get the ball in Indiana. She’s literally 6th in the entire WNBA in usage rate and 5th in assist rate. 3) Wemby and Taurasi didn’t come into the league with people saying they would save the league. They came into the league as players with potential to be great. That’s why the situations are not comparable. Her mistreatment is based on her being viewed (rightfully) as a saviour to the league. Everything stems from that - jealousy that she is going to save the league in a way that the other players couldn’t do. Has nothing to do with actual skill/ability.

To address your first point, the logic doesnt track. Their concern was angering millions of her fans? So what?

They're cutting off their nose to spite their face.

That's ok Simon, we don't always have to agree. I look at the Olympics situation differently. It's true people are going to complain no matter what, that's the internet. But including her on the team is the better move, than not. It shows the league is committed to the next gen of talent, and it gives Clark the opportunity to bond with those players, all of that is good for the league, and all involved. Sure maybe there is some additional nuance between Wemby and Clark, but the circumstances are what they are, and the League has to adjust to Clark (and make a ton of money doing so). Not the other way around.

There is definitely something going on with this whole Clark drama. If WNBA thinks this is going to increase interest they might be in for a rude awakening.

The Indiana Fever definitely have run their offense through Caitlin Clark like they know she’s a celebrity since her first Fever game. She has had 30 point games against weaker defenses like LA and Washington. I wouldn’t call Caitlin Clark’s teammates bad at all since the majority of them are recent high draft picks, including players that won NCAA player of the year and led their teams to NCAA national championships. Erica Wheeler is a very good veteran guard that has taken Caitlin Clark under her wing. I really don’t see any big problem overall, and I still think women’s basketball is on a great long term trajectory.

If she is a generational player why wouldn't you want to play her hard? You even mentioned the Bad Boy Pistons in a positive light...playing hard against superstars was their whole thing. I don't think it would be fair for the WNBA to say "she is our most profitable player, please do not touch her" because then we get into the same issue we have with QBs diving to get roughing the passer calls. She talked crap to that player on the other side of the court (the part of the video no one watches) and that player checked her. If that happened in the NBA or the NFL or any other men's sport we would be cheering.

The scrutiny she gets is unfair, but hype demands it. The question is can she rise to it. I think she will, but so far she hasn't lived up to the hype. What she has done is complain a lot and the other players see that and are making her earn he spot... as happens in any other league. Long list of rooks whove had to deal with that... Yao, J Holliday, every 1st round QB for the last 30 years. Even Bedard got that attention this year. He was absolutely battered on the ice hos rookie season. There are too many talking heads that think shes earned something becuase she is popular. The fact remains shes never won a championship, she broke a scoring record due to Covid rules allowing her to get an extra season and shes not an above average ball handler. Her game needs work.

Clark may be destined for greatness, but let's not crown her until she does for the game even 1/10 of what Turasi has done. Also, Turasi averaged 17 points on .416 shooting with 2.7 TOV her rookie season. Clark is 16.3 points on .373 shooting with 5.4 TOV so an apples to apples comparison shows Turasi was the better rookie. She took less shots, scored more and controlled the ball better.
