You have to stop asking Joy Taylor any questions regarding CC22. She just doesn’t get it.

[@RustyShackleford997]

lol , Sounds like you don’t get it

[@Whatgirl-i3d]

Sound like you don’t get it

[@carcharodoncarcharias9462]

Joy doesn’t get it

[@MoePeezy]

She gets it but at the same time she has to be in the spaces (sisterhood) with these black woman, she ain’t risking that

[@langvo5031]

And never will 😅

[@jamalschouten]

DT isn’t one of the best 12 this year. CC is doing better than her 😂

[@MPerry-ox9qb]

Clark’s stats are better than 75% of the Olympic Roster. These women that hate Clark need to stop lying.

[@LKS-M9323]

She's played in how many WNBA games?

[@StayWoke561]

Despite her stats, what's her team record 🤔.. She good but it ain't like she a one person to win it all without a team

[@choncyterry5374]

She haven’t won anything

[@larrybennett720]

She is rated the 30 guard, stop lying!

[@johngun5338]

Stop lying! She only shoot 3’s at a 29% average! No inside game and no defense! She’s HORRIBLE!

[@christianlorenzo5364]

Women can’t help but hate on eachother 😂😂😂

[@taylenzz]

Chelsea Gray has a “friggin” broken leg?!?!? She hasn’t been able to do her job, but she has the priority of an all-star team?!?!?

[@getmoney3806]

I agree. That surprised me. They should have picked Arike.

[@georgenicholson6080]

Thank you Joy-for telling me I don't understand anything about ratings. No one is as smart as you.

[@geminianomaurejr7399]

[@JavierMelendezojo]

This is the first time in my life I've watched a conversation about the WNBA, and it's because of Caitlin Clark!

[@mrzuniga1821]
