Caitlin Clark Being Bigger Than NBA Counterparts Is Not a Hot Take!

[@joeykremple]

Didn’t care a lick for wbb until Caitlin’s 41 piece against South Carolina in Final Four 2023. She has not disappointed since. A very compelling young woman!

[@MargueriteFahey]

For me what sealed it was the 40 pt TRIPLE DOUBLE she dropped on Louisville on the way to the Final Four!!

[@ajibayo]

One player I’m looking at now in college is Katie Dinnebier, senior at Drake, after she dropped 40 and 39 points in consecutive games against in-state rivals Iowa and Iowa State, both ranked teams. (And she’s not even a ball-stopper; she’s averaging 5 assists on the season.). Against Iowa State, she shot 13-16, including 8-10 from deep. I wonder why no one is talking about her outside that state. She’s not the next-up WNBA star they’re looking for, I guess …

[@Mirror_of_the_Soul00]

I watched that Iowa game. Gotta watch the other game too

[@ajibayo]

@@Mirror_of_the_Soul00I can’t help it! I watch all the Iowa games now. 🤷‍♂️

[@ajibayo]

@@Mirror_of_the_Soul00Yes, that Drake vs. Iowa State game was exciting. Close all the way. And BTW, one of the 2 shots Dinnebier missed during that game was a half-court shot at the 1Q buzzer! 😂

[@KB8Killa]

They need to check the boxes before msm promotes them

[@Mirror_of_the_Soul00]

CC is HANDS DOWN the face of basketball

[@michaels.2331]

More people are watching Iowa games than any other women’s team.

[@jimhines2994]

I’m still following Hawks where I found CC! Go Hawks! Go Fever!

[@Dodgers2024WSC]

CC Mania!!!

[@gregorybonds-j8m]

I think with the transfer portal and the ability to be “one-n-done”, it’s hard for the fans to keep up and get behind to support the male collegiate players.

[@MargueriteFahey]

I quit watching college basketball after the one and done era. Was waaaay better when you had someone like Double D, Chocolate Thunder.....the one and only Daryl Dawkins, backboard breaker extraordinaire coming straight from high school.

[@JustaKidfromBrooklyn718]

Could be a pipeline if these old school coaches allow the rookies to get playing time. (See Rackea Jackson)

[@rebauer2000]

Jokic is 29. Turns 30 in February.

[@jameshanks8608]

I didn't watch much basketball after TMac retired. Then i saw CCC play!

[@joannesmith7906]

You all need to understand that Caitlin Clark is too big ,to be the face of the Wnba, she is bigger than that, she is bigger than Bball anywhere, she brings fans, people love her, look what she is bringing to Golf !! she will bring the same to the Soccer team she has become a part of. This young woman is more than one sport, you all can keep saying that the W do not support her, she cannot be the face of the W, you have not yet realised how big Caitlin is. Nike knows how big she is, Nike are smart, Cathy Englebert, smart, she is not a million dollar draw, she is Hundreds of Billions draw for Nike and for all sport not just the Wnba, she is going to be the face of Global sport, world wide sport. The only mistake the W made was not putting her in the Olympic team, she brings the fans to seats, and not just Bball, Nba, Nfl, golf Soccer, it does not matter what sport because it is all sports, they all want her , she is humble, she is a great speaker, she signs the kids and adults merch, she smiles, she is Phenomenal, we all keep saying it, you are not looking any further than the W, think big Nike is going to take her global guys, Her face will be all over the world, she is a true and rare talent, forget the other W players they are insignificant to what Caitlin is, do you see her stressing ? No she knows where she is going, she wants to play Bball, but she will be global for Nike, Nike made 200 billion dollars this year, Adidas and Puma can't do that, their companies are not big enough, Nike is playing the long game, they have not forgot CC, who's kit was she wearing for golf ? you think thats a coincidence !! NO, it's Nike. They need a face for the W, could be Paige, or Juju, or any number of new drafts, it will not be CC. You have to think bigger cos CC is Global.

[@MargueriteFahey]

Nike is in a freefall. Thank god I don't own their stock. They have ROYALLY F'cd her, but SHE will prevail.

[@petep5207]

Yes, I watched the Money Mike Podcast too. Any original thoughts--of your own?

[@NightOwl-xz5eb]

ROBIN, SHE IS THE BIGGEST SPORTS STAR IN THE WORLD. Men or women, the only thing close is Simone Biles, maybe Step or James.

[@rcud1]

Just remember how these same people who pretend to preach to fans about equality of women, are the same ones who are paying Clark a salary of $76k and giving NBA rookies that most of us have never heard of $5-12M salaries. Caitlin Clark has proven she can compete with NBA games on TV. The NBA might be setting themselves up for a huge lawsuit because their primary owners of the WNBA.

[@MargueriteFahey]

They are GROSSLY UNDERESTIMATING the WNBA's cut of the new TV deal. The girls are bringing only 3% of the eyes????? WTF. I think the NBA has purposely encouraged the dumbass behavior of the WNBA hierarchy. They got write offs and pats on the back and no real competition for their league. Now that the WNBA owners realize that there is REAL money to be made with the women, they will be asking to look at the books.

[@basilfawlty241]

You sure like spacejam 3. Space jam 2 was a bomb, a flop... what does that say about your boy? His popularity is not what you think. If hasn't been for a very long time.

[@marisoltammero3331]

Why are you so threatened? If she does go global, how does that effect your life. Change it in any way??

[@basilfawlty241]

@@marisoltammero3331 Threatened? Nothing in this post says a thing about me or anyone being threatened. It says nothing at all about a 'she'. What the hell are you talking about? What is wrong with your reading comprehension? Why are you so triggered?

[@jasmineanderson2154]

She definitely not but that’s cool to the ppl who believe that

[@jasmineanderson2154]

Y’all be reaching

[@MoneyF4]

Next face of basketball is Caitlin Clark and Jared McCain

[@closequarters4575]

Jared McCain’s popularity is kinda tongue in cheek though

[@MoneyF4]

@ he’s family friendly especially in this atmosphere

[@lewisstone881]

Notoriety?

[@Lighthouse1919]

False, she dowdnt play in the NBA so she can never [ BE ] the face of the NBA. Love you and her impact is big and global and spirts genre bending, but shes not on the hardwood floor with Lebron Steph n KD.

[@kentcarlson1841]

What has Caitlin Clark if anything done from Collage to date to have a Negative impact in any way shape or form ?

[@74shelia]

She will never be bigger than NBA stars.

[@AlexanderMoises]

she already is....

[@74shelia]

@ no she’s not

[@MargueriteFahey]

@@74shelia Git wit it. Only dudes who match her are LeBron and Steph and they be old af.

[@74shelia]

@ You must be one of the people that just started watching basketball because of her. I understand. You don’t have a clue

[@billymartin7518]

One simple reason. Media like you who make a big thing of every thing she does. She smiles rather than her typical RBF. Eureka! Make a post/video whatever. A fart in public... OMG.. that's so cute, she's just like us. Jesus christ, give the worship a rest

[@sunburstsounds]

Despite naysayers such as urself, she continues to generate interest because the fans want the coverage. Why shouldn’t the media give the people what they want?
