You can just feel the jealousy in this woman's veins.

If Clark fails unless another person comes up with her popularity, maybe Paige but doubtful, viewership will likely go down again. I know people that could not have given any shit about wnba flying out to watch Clark play.

Why would Clarke fail? She's good enough to be a pro basketball player. She's not going to dominate like she did in college. There is nothing wrong with that. Lol.

Jesus, these are professional basketball players. They are all good. So far her best numbers are almost as good as Sabrina's rookie numbers... but Sabrina didn't get near the usage and Sabrina certainly didn't lead the league in turnovers.

They aren't just going to let her go out and score at will. I wouldn't want them to.

All of this bitching is just incredible.

Fail as In she doesn't end up being a star. If she doesn't end up a star it is very unlikely that the viewership will stay as high as it has been with her potential front and center.

Who is "bitching?" Please explain.

Sabrina is amazing. For whatever reason she just hasn't brought the eyeballs to wnba like Clark has. I don't understand why, but what's in can be peculiar.

The tweets you've been posting about it are examples of people bitching. It's all over. All of these people who've never watched girls basketball are now watching and bitching that the "savior" actually doesn't walk on water. Like, shocker, these professional basketball players are actually GOOD!

Clarke will be fine. She'll be a good player. She just needs to make the adjustment to the higher level of competition.

Lots of social media posts I've been seeing have been people shitting on Clark. That's why I even asked the question a couple days ago. I have paid a little attention to wnba over the last couple decades, had a very small uptick with Sabrina, but Clark certainly has made me and some of my friends more interested. That reason alone makes me just dumbfounded why it seems most of the wnba girls seem to dislike her so much when it's good for the league and ultimately them.

I get you. I haven't seen dislike from the other players. It's just competition as far as I can tell. These are the best women basketball players in the world. They aren't just going to let her score at will.

Seriously. Her team is actually better when she's on the bench. The ball just flows so much better. Her teammates get better looks. Everything isn't so forced.

Most of the stuff I see on social media is complaining about people being mean to Clark. But I just don't see it.

People were legitimately unrealistic about how good she is. That doesn't mean she's not good. But she's not going to dominate as a rookie. That's not her teammates fault or anybody else doing anything wrong. It's just reality.

Lebron and Barkley called out the WNBA girls for being petty/hating on Clark.

That is strange, because I can see it from Europe:) I'm just another guy that watched some WNBA recently because of Clark.
And what I saw was Draymond Green type foul on her and some players acting like JaMorant in the club. I saw posts about how Clark being white is the only reason she's got media attention.
And, btw, your argument about her team being better without her perfectly fits Lillard, LeBron and Scoot as well. She will be fine.

As professional as they are, women are jealous of her and that is plain stupid.

Sounds like a lot of whining to me. She's trying to force up off balance shots on much better defenders. That's it. She needs to make the adjustment, not the defenders.

I haven't seen anyone saying anything bad about her. Seems like maybe LeBron and Chuck bought the hype...

Are you talking about the shoulder check that was called a foul (and upgraded to a flagrant) after she was jawing at the other player? The same player who has done that multiple times in her career and been kicked off teams for doing worse?

Did she do all of that in previous seasons because she was jealous of Caitlin Clark as well?

And you saw Angel Reese celebrate it. Everyone knows Reese and Clark have beef.

Rebecca lobo Said the defense she is receiving is unprecedented for a rookie. That no other wnba rookie has ever dealt with the way vets are treating her.

Well yeah. There is a ton of hype. Why wouldn't they guard her?

Rebecca Lobo says Caitlin Clark foul 'gave a toothless argument fangs'

Lobos "I have not seen anything excessive or anything dirty until that play."

Along with a clip of Clark flopping like she was shot by a gun when Reese simply touched her.

News flash. Behavior like that will piss people off. Its annoying as hell and part of why I don't have any sympathy for her.



It's not the league's fault, it's not her teammates fault, and it's not her coaches fault.

Oh, well, I didn't know all that. I guess I've been hooked on media click bytes.

It's not the league's fault, it's not her teammates fault, and it's not her coaches fault.

If they are guarding her in an unprecedented way, it is hard to compare her stats and play to rookies that came before her. Rooting for her to kick some ass for the popularity of the league and be as exciting as people hope for.
 
First, it's Clark. No E.
People are tuning in/showing up for Angel Reese as well. There is a bonanza rookie class.
But yes Clark has a target on her back. Reality.
Agree, some of what makes Clark face of the league is being white. Says something about racial attitudes but says nothing about Clark as person or player. And it's a long way from recognizing racial attitudes to calling her "white bitch" as ESPN commentator did. No excuse for that.

You know what you do when you're face guarded? Get the ball to a teammate and move off the ball.

That's calked gravity and it should make your teammates better.

Just pounding the ball down 94ft against them and throwing up a contested shot that gets blocked while you flop isn't the answer.

If they guarded Sabrina like that it would have made her team better. Because she would have played team basketball and taken advantage of her gravity.
 
Maybe she should work on getting her teammates to like her enough to stick up for her I guess?

Seriously though, I don't think most players are worried about your teammate beating them up. At some point you just need to shut your mouth and make them pay on the court.
Her teammates really didn't come to her aid because she was very dramatic and flopped on that play. Gals can be dramatic, just like guys can be whinny.

Yeah my phone keeps automatically adding the 'e'. I've been going back and correcting the ones I've missed, but it hasn't gotten it figured out yet.

Sabrina is white as well and this wasn't an issue. Sabrina actually set rookie records. Everyone seemed to want her to do well and appreciated her game. Many of the great players are white. Breanna Stewart is white. For rookies Cameron Brink is white... I think Clark's attitude and penchant for dominating the ball and flopping are a big part of why the players are being aggressive with her. And she's from the Midwest where girls basketball is huge. That's part of why so many people are now tuning in.

Lots of people are definitely showing up for Reese as well.

Are Cameron Brink, Sabrina and Breanna Stewart not white enough get the racial treatment? Just doesn't make sense to me. Or are people saying they have been successful because they're white?

I guess I just don't get it.

She's a good player. She's going to be fine, but she's going to have to adjust her game.

Solid point. She just flops a lot and overdramatizes everything. You get conditioned to it and it encourages more contact. Players and refs.

It's annoying, frankly. Even as a fan. Just play basketball.

The dramatic flopper is the worst. I have a real tough time respecting players like that.

And here you all are still talking about a foul. I guess it worked. Perfect timing. Right as the Conference finals ended and during the week before the finals.
The Olympics start mid July so figure there will be another big issue around the weekend of the 22nd of June to get them back in the news.
 
Oh, well, I didn't know all that. I guess I've been hooked on media click bytes.
And I'm not at all saying it was right for Chennedy Carter to foul her like that. It wasn't a basketball play. And it certainly wasn't right of Reese to cheer it.

It was unfortunate because it made this out to be something it's not. The league isn't out to hurt Caitlin Clark. Neither are the vast majority of the players. Reese deals with a lot because of the rivalry between her and Clark. And I think some of that has probably impacted her team as well. They've certainly felt it. I'm sure that played a part.

That doesn't make it right, but it doesn't mean the whole league is behaving that way.
 
Caitlin Clark Flop Compilation. If you act this way you're going to have trouble gaining the respect of competitive people...
 
what are "her" numbers? She's 6th in the WNBA in usage and 5th if FGA but only 18th in scoring while shooting 36% on FG's and under 30% on three's

Sabrina is putting up much better numbers and her team is winning. Granted, Sabrina is a vet and Clarke is a rookie, but Clarke is actually struggling so far to come anywhere close to he college marks

I think Clarke will eventually climb into the elite level of the league, but unsurprisingly she's a long ways away right now
Doesn’t Sabrina play with the leagues MVP? I’m sure that helps winning some games.
 
Let's stop beating a dead horse OK? Clark has said she's good, it's basketball.

Read a column this morning. When Magic Johnson entered NBA there were many who thought he was over-hyped. He spent a lot of his rookie year on his butt. Magic was not over-hyped and showed it. So will Clark.

yeah...the blatant flop at :47 is an example of one of the reasons Clark is not getting much sympathy

hey...you were the one that brought up numbers. Sorry but there are other numbers than the ones you want to focus on

Sabrina had a 2:1 assist to turnover ratio before Breanna Stewart was with the liberty. And she also scored better, got more rebounds, and just as many assists, with better shooting percentages across the board...
