What a great ambassador for the game. Watching her and her team play is one of my great joys in life.

It truly is an honor!

[@trhansen3244]

Paving? What? Women get more money for generating revenue. Mens sports have been removed from universities because of women. It is awful.

Do not focus on Caitlin shooting long threes, but focus on all her basketball skills! She a great skill of handling the back board angles - fast break, bank shot, and impromptu glass shots. Caitlin is a threat when she penetrates so much so that the defense has to collapse around her! That creates all kinds of close basket options for the bigs. Three point shooters are many, but there is only one Caitlin who knows when a three pointer will kill the oppositions m😢mentum. Shooting long threes is a small phase of Caitlin’s overall scoring threat. Everybody sees her passing but too many miss the give n go screens before the pass and the bigs inside screening her defenders off so she get the ball for her magic. Screening is called teamwork. There is a definite Iowa teamwork where each player is in position to make certain shot if other options are not possible. Caitlin deserves the player of the year because she made Iowa teamwork happen. Guys like Michael Jorden, Curry, Bryant, and others made their teamwork succeed.! Other great women’s teams normally dominated because they had superior athletes who put together a semblance of teamwork. Remember Caitlin does not have another superior basketball athlete around her.

[@ChildOfThe1970s]

Great player but how is she "paving the way" for woman's athletics? Many female athletes who came before her over the years have paved the way. I think that phrase, as are terms such as "trailblazer" are very much overused.

I would love to see Kaitlyn go Vegan. If she goes Vegan, her game would improve and she would inspire millions.

[@bobbiking2123]

Vegan? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 What is she too big for you? How is going Vegan going to help her? 😂😂😂😒

[@pierretampa]

@@bobbiking2123 have to ask Chris Paul or Kyrie Irving.

[@jeremiah7244]

​@@pierretampaChris Paul and Kyrie Irving are two of the most injury prone players today😂😂

[@pierretampa]

@@jeremiah7244 how old is Chris Paul? How many NBA players play until they are 38? Kyrie Irving NBA Champ only gets maximum contracts and probably will play until his late 30's.
