You forgot to answer the question.

Caitlin has had multiple technicals called against her and Indiana has lost a few close games because of officiating.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize she's a down-to-earth midwest girl in a lesbo black League.

And today's news is she's been left off the Olympic team even though she is statistically better than multiple players.

Olympics teams aren't selected by the 12 statistically best players. There are a lot of other factors

Yes.



Taurasi said that she needed to get ready because the WNBA is grown women, not college kids and that they weren't going to just let her come in and take over.

Taurasi was right.



They did, Experience and fit matter. The last time the Men's team just threw a bunch of "best players" together without considering fit or experience, they got a bronze medal.
this is disrespect and envy.

"You look superhuman playing against some 18-year-olds but you're going to come play with some grown women that have been playing professional basketball for a long time."

What is it you don't understand about picking the best players?

No it isn't. It was telling her about what's coming and how different the game is between college and the pros. And it's coming from someone who is in the GOAT convo for the WNBA, was a No. 1 overall pick, struggled a bit herself for her first 2 years and has played professionally in the WNBA and overseas for 20 years.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that she might know what she's talking about.

What don't you understand about fit and experience?

Did you ever think why she might be popular? duh.
Because her style of play is popular with fans....

She is good at passing and rebounding but her shooting numbers do need to improve. She is at 37% on FGA's and 33% on 3's.

And I am a fan but she isn't experiencing the success she had in college. Not just yet.

Yeah I have thought about it and read this thread that has been discussed by people who know a lot about basketball, you should try it.

its coming from a bitter liar, who shouldn't be on team usa, who picked another connecticut played as the best guard in the ncaa.

caitlin played against people older than 18.

No, but you clearly are since you seem to think this discussion is about her popularity which is something no one has disputed.
So how could she be so popular if she was no good?
