Why is Caitlin Clark Different?

SGA won the 2024-25 NBA MVP with a Win Shares per 48-minute of .309 Clark in 2024 has a WS/48min of .103 the same exact formula is applied.

Sunday Surmising: Caitlin Clark’s massive shortcomings the media is ignoring

We’re highly amused by the attempts to prop up Caitlin Clark as some sort of savior for the WNBA. Earlier this week, she shot 3-for-12 from three-point range while committing 7 turnovers, but…

dailymcplay.com

^^^ only online article I know about that states the negatives of Clark’s play.

She is undeniably different in terms of financial impact. The Fever had higher home game attendance than the Pacers last season. The Fever franchise value went from 90 mil to 360 mil. Obviously she drives TV ratings and road attendance too

article looks like a lot of statistical garbage really. there's actually been quite a lot of talk about caitlins 2 game 3pt shooting slump.

what the media isn't talking about is how biased the referees are against indiana. -17 free throw attempts against the defending champs, and -32 in the last 3 games.

caitlin is apparently out for 2 weeks with a quad injury.

That article is from last year, same for all the subpar stats I posted. A WS/48min of .103 says it all though. A turnover is the most negative play there is and Clark had 223 of them. In Clark’s last game against the defending champs she was 2 for 11 shooting 3’s and had 10-turnovers with a metric gamescore of of 3.9 and here is what Yahoo Sports wrote…….
“She posted her usual numbers in the loss, scoring 18 points and dishing out 10 assists.”

Nothing said about the ten turnovers or the 2 for 11 shooting on 3’s

That 3.9 gamescore is BAD Clark averaged 14.2 gamescore the last 2024 season which is average like her .103 WS/48 but she still finished 4th in MVP voting. Math is hard to fool, plus math doesn’t care that Clark is the goose laying the golden egg.

I don't watch the WNBA, but the State Farm "from the logo" commercial with her is very clever.

caitlin still getting the flagrant foul treatment.

I have zero clue how Mabrey didn't get booted out of that game

The full on body check was ridiculous. Don't know why she was even pissed. CC legit didn't do a single thing other than hey pulled on the eye lol

Loved her burying the 3 on Sheldons head at the end of the 4th then talking shit for the next 45 seconds into the timeout though

Classic Caitlin

Both sun players should’ve been tossed

I love how after she took her down. When the chick got up she grabs her by the head & is trash talking her the whole time they are trying to separate them.

Before Clark got the poke in the eye she pushed off twice on Jacy Sheldon and then threw a high elbow near her face. Take your Clark goggles off.

Unbelievable that someone would try and justify Sheldon's flagrant foul.

What game were you watching? Sheldon not only pushes and holds Caitlin Clark up and down the floor, she injured two of their players in the first meeting, including chipping Sophie Cunningham's tooth. Sheldon is known as one of the dirtiest players in the league. Any player would get a little pissed and push off.

I believe this is the 12th meeting between Clark and Sheldon. Sheldon has yet to win once against Clark.

Sophie Cunningham is a hero for taking Sheldon down and reading her the Riot Act.

Poor little Cait. Fuck her!

Haters going to hate.

She's the most prolific offensive player the WNBA has ever seen, and the only wnba player Michael Jordan will praise, because of all the charity work she does.
