Hawkeye21 2,089 Posted August 29 1 hour ago, Strike said: I didn't say the NBA. You can look at male olympic players or even male high school players. The best of those will destroy WNBA teams pretty much every time. They shoot better, have better fundamentals, run more complex plays. Just better in every way. As I posted earlier in this thread, I watched a number of Caitlin Clark's final college games due to the hype. And I was impressed by her. She's really good. FOR A GIRL. Sorry to say that but it's true. She jacks up bad threes and in the games I watched her shooting percentage wasn't great. And that's all besides the fact that they play with a smaller, lighter ball than male players. There is no argument that the men are on an entire different level of athleticism but I just can't get into it. I don't know what it is but I just don't care. There is no vested interest. I don't even know many people that enjoy the NBA anymore so there is no crap talk to one another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She's the single biggest reason it's getting any attention today, but the league is filled with racist players and haters and want to see her brought down because they feel it should be a black woman leading the charge. Women love nothing more than bringing other women down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Logic: We should celebrate Caitlin Clark because she's drawing viewers to our game which, in turn, means bigger paydays for us! WNBA Players: Nah! We'd rather see the white girl taken out at the knees because we're racist AND jealous. They should probably just rename the league to The Real Housewives of the WNBA. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MLCKAA 464 Posted September 5 Another triple double Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
posty 2,409 Posted September 5 1 hour ago, MLCKAA said: Another triple double Was just coming to post this… Caitlin Clark became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 100 3-pointers in a season and finished with 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for her second career triple-double as the playoff-bound Indiana Fever beat the Los Angeles Sparks 93-86 on Wednesday night. Clark connected on her second 3 of the game and 100th of the season midway through the third quarter and added two more to reach 102 and finish 4 of 10 from long range. The No. 1 overall draft pick is the first rookie with 100 3s. She also became the first rookie and fifth WNBA player with multiple triple-doubles in a season, joining Alyssa Thomas, Courtney Williams, Sabrina Ionescu and Candace Parker. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawkeye21 2,089 Posted September 5 Clark won me some money last night. Every once in a while I like to throw a couple bucks on her getting a triple dub. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
posty 2,409 Posted 18 hours ago Another record for the rookie: Fever's Caitlin Clark breaks WNBA's single-season assists mark. She probably would have broken it about five games earlier if her teammates could hold on to her passes… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
