How Good Is Caitlin Clark Actually?

[@djruden]

10 years ago I would have told you that I wouldn't be caught dead watching women's basketball. Now just this season I attended 3 games and going to the Women's B1G championship game and seeing Iowa get the 3-peat victory was the most fun I have had at a basketball game ever. Players like Clark don't come around very often.

[@NoHuddleHawkeyes]

That game was a blast

[@charleslong8634]

They got behind then they got there shit together and catlin had a so so game the other players put it on them iam not saying but in the ohiostate game that they had fouls to give catlin was just pass the fall court line and she shot that ball she was fauled and she shot it as she was fouled that was a 3 pointer and 1 the refs called it off said they had fouls to give I bet that refs not doing any game Charles barely kenny Smith said it was good it could have been Nebraska she shoots as she gets fouled sorry go read the book

​@charleslong8634 sweet fancy Moses what in the world did you try and write

[@a_lws]

I'm watching from Mexico. I started watching college wbb from the USA only a few months ago bc of her. I'm a basketball player myself, been playing all my life and she's special. AND thanks to her I'm also watching other conferences and learning about other players.. I don't think I'm the only new fan now interested in the college wbb div1. She's been a great thing for the sport

[@Deco_2k]

you have lot of basketball to watch then, which team you like so far? UCon is my college womens team s cause they kick ass all the back then also Tennesssee was pretty good do, but its every Confrence has some good team, so you need leave your Confrence if u gonna go in deep and watch college basketball cause it can be confuse to first timer ..

[@a_lws]

@@Deco_2k yep. Been watching a lot of videos to understand the seeds and everything... Iowa is my favorite atm, they brought me here. I've been watching Tennessee👌🏻, Indiana, Nebraska, SC and LSU. I like them all except for LSU. Pretty good players but the dirty plays and theatrics 🙅🏻‍♀️That's not what basketball is about. Plus don't like coach mulkie. Love close games and upsets. Still got a lot of hw to do✌🏻 Who's your final four?

[@EetsBack]

I was fortunate to have a Caitlin video show up on my KZbin sidebar. Since that day a few back , I have been watching, rewatching and re-rewatching her videos. She’s possibly the most electric and complete player ever in college.

[@PatrickFordyce-b7c]

Catlin haters are just jealous of her talent because she refuses just to be a good player she practiced to be the very best player and she has done this period ! She deserves the success for she put the time in to be the very best hands down !! She knew what she wanted in her life and went for it period !! Catlin you showed young women they can be great at basketball when you put forth the effort it takes to be the best !!

[@rosegombos2120]

Caitlin Clark deserves all the notoriety as she complements the sport from her devotion . CAITLIN CLARK IS THE BOMB

[@christophercripps7639]

Caitlin Clark’s passing puts the other side in a “pick your poison” dilemma. When Iowa fast breaks, don’t let Hannah Stuelke get loose cause Clark can lob for the easy layup; if not there Clark can pull up and take the “logo” three. When Clarke drives into the paint she can flick a pass to a team mate on a bounce or behind the back. I am most impressed with Clark’s ability to pass … keeps her team mates alert.

[@86Sentra]

Yes!!! She’s forreal!!!

[@AndyLarson-xm7tq]

One mistake right away. Clark did not make the Cena gesture towards Van Lilith. She made it towards her own bench.

[@toddjohnson5176]

Caitlin is on the best players in the world. I know the Hawkeyes . I want that entire team back . I want a statue of Caitlin

[@jameslaughter5183]

Caitlyn Clark needs 54 Points to break the All-Time Single Season Scoring Record of 1109 Points held by Kelsey Plum. Clark could break the record in 2 games, or 35 games which is the same number of games in which Plum set the existing record.

[@jeffphillips1832]

Thank you.

Caitlin Clark is the GOAT Go number 22

[@kristofertogun9688]

I'M VERY PROUD OF YOU CAITLIN CLARK. THE SKY IS YOUR LIMIT. KEEP ON SHINNING AND KEEP ON SMILING . I WISH YOU GREATEST SUCCESS IN WNBA

[@williambarr5423]

You go gurl,yougot this

[@aislinnkeilah7361]

Caitlin is surely great but Johnson of South Carolina did a good job of defending her for three quarters holding her to 12 points during that time and getting a couple of clean steals. And Nika Muhi of UConn held her to 21 points. Lots of talent in women’s college basketball but Caitlin is the best. And Iowa did a great job getting to the finals in two consecutive years. She should do well in the WNBA. Maybe very, very well.

[@hoopdude7641]

Go IOWA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BenjWarrant]

And now in the WNBA - the league where, Diana Taurasi taunted, CC22 would encounter 'grown women' and 'reality' - she is the 1st rookie and only 4th Player in WNBA history to record 30pts, 5reb, 3stl, and 3 blk in a game, and the fastest ever rookie in WNBA history to 100+ points and 50+ assists, doing that in 8 games, and the fastest ever rookie to 100+ points, 50+ assists, and 50+ rebounds. Her team really sucks at the moment, so she isn't seeing the victories she had in Iowa, but it's clear that there is no-one that is her equal at playing basketball.

[@johnlozauskas778]

For the "purists" out there, they have got to let this thing with Pistol Pete go. Yes, he did not play with the 3 point line. Yes, he only played 3 season. Yes, his record withstood the test of time for decades. It's called progress or evolution and it's the nature of life. She took an awesome talent and coupled it with a ridiculous work ethic. As a Iowa Alumni, I wish she will play another year but when you are done, you're done. PS - I am THRILLED she was born biologically female!!

[@SamDillon-x3p]

I love it ,she is bringing WBA back! I can’t believe she was left of Olympic squad , she is the real deal.

[@NIckmal1950]

You don't need ask how good is she. Watch her play .I have never watched any womens basketball. I gorge on Iowa;s highlight films. the whole team is amazing. it is quality basketball. Why are their so many haters. She didn't have an extra season to break the Record, She did it in the same four period as the previous record holder. Then to suggest she takes 40 shots per game is just a low blow.Hell if she did take 40 shot per game she would average around 80+. Why can't she just be her and not sniped at from the cheap seats. she puts butts in the seats a secret unknown to WBB stars.

How good is she? er...er...how about THE BEST COLLEGIATE PLAYER EVER!!!!

[@ronwalker253]

I wish my dad and my uncle said she was amazing. She’s she is somebody do I look up to her hard I wish it was me sometime.

[@ron88303]

I believe she is simply the NCAA leader; Pearl Monroe is the overall collegiate leader. And lest one argues that Moore didn't play the same caliber of competition as Clark, same could be said that Clark didn't play the same caliber of competition as men. Caitlin's a great women's player, and deserves praise and monetary consideration for what she's accomplished. But one shouldn't want to conflate men's and women's records unless one pools the players. They are entirely different programs.

[@kevdebable]

Monroe didn't play the same level of talent.

[@jacobwatson1818]

Pearl didn't play at a D1 level right? Also, who compared women to men when Caitlin broke the NCAA record?

[@sgtelias2258]

It's Pearl Moore. Anyway spot on simple logic.

[@darchon5]

OP is wrong; Pearl Moore is NOT "the overall collegiate leader", it's John Pierce. Oops, didn't know that, did you? Newsflash: no one else does either, because NO ONE mixes D1, D2, D3, JUCO records together, which is what you have to do for every college sport for both men and women if you use the reasoning that Moore should be considered the women's leader over Clark.

[@darchon5]

And now the point of this entire thread is moot, because Clark has passed Moore's 3,884 points - and for anyone wondering: no, Moore's 177 JUCO points do not count towards her total, because no one's JUCO stats have ever been included as part of their college stats.

[@wmden1]

Nice, informative video. Thanks. I have only seen a little of her playing. Everybody has a poor game. sometimes, Everybody. She is "that good", no doubt about it. If Clark has great games, I believe Iowa making it to, and winning the championship will be predicated on the play of the big players, on both teams. Iowa has some talented big players, and they are fun to watch. We will see, I guess.

Sounds good good good job application. Keep it up the fucking do it.

[@keithhudson3138]

All these podcasts say the same thing. I had recorded narrations. Especially, those sounding like a computer voice.

[@SpookyApparition]

Change my mind: if she was Lisa Leslie's height, she could play in the NBA. Not saying she'd be GREAT in the NBA, but she could make a squad. Unfortunately she's too small, but her shooting AND passing are better than some NBA players. Luka Doncic said shes a better shooter than he is.

[@usx06240]

Nonsense. She wouldn't play, let alone star on any top tier boys high school team. This does not take away from her being a phenomenal women's player.

[@deepcosmiclove]

She dishes almost like Pete.

[@beauburrell3318]

Pete & her have very similar games. Both have an uncanny ability to see the play unfolding in their head as the offense is running. Caitlin throws perfectly timed passes in the rhythm of the game. Their scoring & passing ability is bewildering how great they are.

[@jcgothard356]

Her numbers tell us that.

[@jamesgoforth1606]

Too bad she can't just stay at Iowa another year. She's on top of the world now, and going to the WNBA will be like stepping off a cliff. Tons of people thought she should stay put, but the haters would have freaked out more than they already have.

[@danpals7678]

She can stay but I think she is leaving because she will be going to Indiana which is relatively close to Iowa and family is very important to her and she doesn't care about money.

She gave thanks to her team, friends and family members and she forget to thank the one who made her what she is today, and that the Almighty God the Father. Remember brothers and sisters your greatness is the work of God the Father through Christ Jesus, and ignoring Him is the worst thing you will ever do, your downfall will be faster than your rise to fame. Before you proclaim your greatness to the world, praise and give thank first God who made it happen for you, then thank who ever you want to thank. In this way God will be at your favor.

if Iowa loses to South Carolina in the championship game today is Caitlyn Clark the best player in basketbell ever mens or womens? Or is she the player that could not single handedly lead her team to a victory even thogh everybody in the world is calling her the best basketball player to ever and will ever play basketball in mens or womens basketbell some people even put her better than Lebron James I mean come on a skinny college woman at 5 11 compared to Lebron James and what he has done to say she is better than him and Jordan? This is the biggest hype of a normal player ever it is out of control. Hopefully someday she will fade off into nowhere land when she gets to WNBA.

[@usx06240]

There is no player than can do that. It's a team game. She is overhyped the way some people describe her, but Iowa doesn't sniff sweet 16 without her.

[@porcupinecraig]

If women start getting more interest and fan support, then good for them. As for me, I don't give a damn and I don't watch and frankly I am sick of ESPN cramming it down my throat. If just women attended games, then the WNBA would do great and would be able to pay their players more.. It never happens and I don't see it happening in the future. Just being realistic. And if they play with a smaller ball then don't expect me to be impressed.
