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.
What rookie does experience the level of success they had in college in the first 10 games, playing against Championship contenders night after night?

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.
You should probably go back to your safe space. You have nothing to offer to the discussion.

Someone comes in that could possibly make their league relevant, and this is the treatment she gets.

I think she'll get there. Some of it is that she's learning the pro game and also, teams know that she doesn't have much talent around her, so defenses focus on her.

And imagine if she were on Team USA. Someone might actually watch.

Who said she was no good?

Why do you keep trying to argue things no one has said?
It's how he rolls. Does this all day every day in the PF. Biggest troll on the site.

You're the one disrespecting her, saying she's popular for no reason.

None of them. Not even MJ.

Which is exactly the point that has been made multiple times in this thread and the point Diana Taurasi made in the statement that filled your vagina with sand.

It's also why it was stupid for people to think she'd just come in and dominate.

taurasi disrespected Caitlin multiple times. No one was making those kinds of statements about Magic Johnson or Michael Jordan or LeBron James when they entered the league. Top players in the league were actually embracing them as the future.

Who is it you're talking about that said Caitlin was going to come in and dominate? You're just pulling that out of your arse.
