Why is Caitlin Clark Different?

[DJ Fieri]

Caitlin is as good as any guard on that team, I'd probably start with Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner. Has griner even played a game all season?

There you go.

Implication is Griner is guard since CC and Taurasi are mentioned in same breath.

LOL.

I'm not the dumbbell trying to compare male Sports to female sports.

Then why’d you mention 82 games?

 

[desert heat]

Rookie. You have been told this.

Even in the NBA rookie's rarely make the team.

The Olympics only comes around once every 4 years. If a Rookie's good enough they're going to be on the team. Caitlin isn't just any rookie.

 

[The Q]

At the college level she is.

Diana taurasi and stewie both say hi

Again, she’s not even Paige bueckers

She’s just more entertaining

 

[trojanfan12]

Yeah, my thinking too but why didn't Lobo rock the attendance?

Or Brianna Stewart.

Lobo and Stewart are 6'4". Most girls watching the WNBA aren't going to be 6'4".

Caitlin Clark is listed at 6'0" but probably isn't that tall. She's also not exceptionally athletic.

It's like in the NBA, kids watching the NBA see Lebron and know they're not likely to be Lebron, but then they see Steph Curry and think..."I could be him".

Caitlin Clark is the WNBA's version of Steph Curry.

Nope, it's a black lesbian league.

to be fair.
It was a black lady (who also knows nothing about basketball) using her platform on TV to point out it being 70% black & forgot what majority percentage she said Lesbian (whatever the #'s were) before going on about CC being White & Straight.
I hear the race baiting all the time in all things talked about so wasnt to surprised there. But when the chick was shunned for being Straight. I started laughing.

We were talking about Caitlin's statistics and her first 10-12 games. You not being able to keep the train of thought is not my problem.

Lebron James Stats First 10 Games | StatMuse

LeBron James has averaged 16.8 points, 6.4 rebounds and 6.4 assists in 10 games in his first 10 games in his career.

CC is at 37% and 33% right now.

Go calculate Bron's and get back to me.

I will wait.

Try following the thread and you'll figure it out.

This is your final warning about making shit up.

 

[desert heat]

CC is at 37% and 33% right now.

Go calculate Bron's and get back to me.

I will wait.

Try looking at points, rebounds, assist, and steals. Like I said, the stats are similar. And LeBron wasn't facing constant double teams, and playing against the top teams not in a night out in his first 10 games either. The fever have barely had any time to practice. Caitlin just finished college and had to go straight to playing WNBA games.

Try using your brain a little.

 

[desert heat]

This is your final warning about making shit up.

If you can't handle the heat maybe you better get out of the kitchen. Because you don't know what you're talking about.

She should take Griner's spot. Gal isn't even healthy

Again, Clark is a guard. Griner is a center.

 

[Think McFly Think]

Caitlin Clark is the WNBA's version of Steph Curry.

The parallel is crazy honestly. I remember watching Davidson games because people/networks were starting to notice Curry and I remember thinking that there was no way he was gonna make it in the NBA because he would get manhandled because of his size.

Of course, that was one of my wrongest thoughts pertaining to basketball ever.

Watching Caitlin play for Iowa I literally thought “well if Curry could pull it off being undersized with a quick release, so can she.”

 

[Schmoopy1000]

I dont have a problem with CC not being on Team USA.
Now if other rookies made the team. There might be an argument.
but as far as I know. None did.
There still learning professional basketball.
Even if she becomes the greatest player ever. She is not there right now. And they Chose the team. Right now.

 

[desert heat]

Again, Clark is a guard. Griner is a center.

They could do with one less Center who isn't even healthy.

Trust me...you were one of maaaaaaany who didn't see Steph Curry coming (myself included). Heck, I'm not even sure Steph Curry saw Steph Curry coming. lol
