[@MaymeIke]

@@anthonytaylor7928 , It's not a race thing EVEN remotely . . . It's a region thing . . . She made an unheard of IA program GREAT . . . and because she's such a unique player . . . like Jordan & Curry (both black, btw), people were drawn in . . . and frankly, I now know a world of amazing female W players -- black & white-- because of following Clark.

Greetings from Australia. Same here - I was never interested in men's basketball but along comes Caitlin Clark and I am now a fan like many others. I love her humbleness and down to earth character and how she stands up to her bullies by being the best on the court. It's so beautiful to watch.

[@jeffg1524]

At first I had no idea WHY I love CC so much. I've followed women's BB for years and always enjoyed seeing FIBA games and the Olympics, but came to CC late. I really didn't start to notice her rise until this past NCAA year, when she was breaking every record in sight and her coverage went through the roof. Then I saw her interviews and biographical info and thought, what an amazingly poised, mature, well-adjusted, humble and modest young woman. I saw how she went from college star to international icon in what seemed to be overnight. Then she was saddled with the pressure of being the Savior of Women's Basketball, and the expected backlash of petty hate, envy, and criticisms started. She's weathering it with the same poise and maturity she's always shown, behavior that those who are criticizing her (who are much older and experienced so "should" know better) are NOT displaying. I'm 100% behind her, and hope she has a long, successful, satisfying career, and an even happier life.

@@veganpotterthevegan IMO, the problem with so many new fans is they are clueless dilettantes who probably think a double dribble is the drool on little junior's bib.

[@PiscesMoon2You]

@@veganpotterthevegan your comment makes no sense to me. I was commenting about the announcement of CC getting ROTY. ESPN isn't commenting on it either. When the AP. gave her ROTY most were talking about it. I thought ROTY and MVP and so on were big deals from all the commentary on them through the season. No real big announcement for either. Kind of anti climatic. What does only home games have to do with any of that?

Goofy! Better watch those playoff games! You love CC so much better understand what she is up against. Support the WNBA. Yes they miss a ton of shots look at Liberty vs Aces. But realize these teams are going to war. They are going to do the same things they did against MJ, Bird, Magic, Kobe and even Leabron. Gearing up to stop CC from being the greatest. Christie Sides doesn't see what the elite teams are doing by testing you in a regular season game. Becky Hammon was all star and was testing Fever in regular season games.

She is Rookie of the Year... but the WNBA has not done anything to announce it. For the MVP of the year, Aja Wilson, they had her team all get together and then called Aja to tell her and Aja got to celebrate it. Then on the WNBA League Pass site they posted that Aja won MVP. Plus, they posted that DiJonai Carrington won Most Improved Player of the Year and Napheesa Collier won Defensive Player of the Year. But nothing about Caitlin Clark as Rookie of the Year. Do not understand why the snub? Caitlin is a fantastic athlete that always says all positive things about all the other WNBA players.

a logo 3 is extremely hard to make with consistency woman or man... that takes millions of hours to master.. there's only a few males that consistently hit from there

She shoots 34% from 3, which is average in the WNBA, but below average in the NBA. What are you even talking about??

[@joketsu100]

What are you talking about? Whens the last time you shot a basketball 2 feet behind the 3-point line? In college she made that shot consistently in most games. It is incredibly difficult to do. The average person would maybe hit 1 out of 10 shots in practice. When shes practicing she can easily make 9 out of 10. She would destroy you in a basketball game. ​@ScottH.

[@phillyphilly2095]

​@ScottH. Did you not see the word "logo" in his post? She shoots from a much greater distance than most players. Plus she frequently double-teamed when she's shooting.

In the full piece, 60 Minutes gets it right, mostly. The segment with the WNBA league official (president?), wow, talk about a misdiagnosis. The growth of the W, from attendance to TV views to sponsorships, is 95% Caitlin, 5% the entire rest of the rookie class, 0% the rest of the league. Bird had Magic...Jordan was a unitary figure, much like Clark.

This 60 minutes was a joke just like I expected. They featured CC in adds to draw viewers but in reality they gave her just a few minutes and almost no credit for where the WNBA is today. Engelbert just had to throw in AR as a driving force. Compare her viewer numbers or even every other players or teams as a whole against any single game that CC is playing then tell me who's the driving force. Her last game had over 2 million viewers. The playoff games this week just broke 300,000. Numbers don't lie but the people who write them certainly do or try to hide them.

[@Individualati]

Englebert is a lowly person.

[@joeykremple]

I wanted to like Reese, but the more I listen to her, the more I find her a petty person. Always turning everything back to her and making it seem like she's a poor victim. Does she not know that is such a stinky perfume? She's hitched her fame to CC and it's worked, but I really hope she matures and becomes more likable at some point. Cheering on Clark getting knocked out by Chennedy says all you need to know about Reese's character.

She has the greatest handle i've ever seen from a female hooper and i personally believe that's what makes her drastically better than her peers. When you can create space with your dribble, the game opens up soooooo much more.
