[@EetsBack]

You should interview Caitlin herself.

[@rademita]

she's at the top of the list!!

[@EetsBack]

@ great. You are my favorite podcaster on basketball. You speak in a normal tone, don’t scream and don’t engage in clickbait. It also helps that you are beautiful.

[@rometallud1161]

​@@rademitaplease do a docu style, 60 minutes interview was below par, you could do a better job, Rachel, this is going to be in time for her Jersey Retirement and 2Nd WNBA season. Please, we need an hr of CC docu/interview.

[@silasfankanyuy9776]

Aliyah Boston

[@nr14989]

Yes please ❤

[@stevenreid-g2y]

It's Caitlin Clark's attitude and persona as much as her style of play that has had such an impact on sport (not just basketball)!

[@DelwinWiebe]

Please interview Stephanie White. Would also enjoy you interviewing Lisa Bludder

[@risladav967]

I second that!

[@manuelcardenas4538]

Interview Larry Bird, and get his thoughts on Caitlin and the WNBA in general that would be awesome

[@chrisstrawn3396]

LOVE that idea, heck try and get Larry & Magic and see their thoughts on CC and Angel being the new "them".

I think that Caitlin Clark is going to have an unbelievable second season in the W as she will not be able to be stopped.

[@philip6927]

It's nice to see how popular you've become. You are so articulate and knowledgeable. It's a pleasure to listen to you speak. I would love to see videos of you from your playing days😊

[@alvinchisenhall6376]

Would love to see an interview with Kate Martin.

[@roberttague9729]

One on one interviews like Monday's with Lexie, Aliyah, Kelsey, Grace, Damiris, Erica and coach Stephanie would be awesome. What the heck, if they are part of the Fever, let's hear them. P.S. I love you and your site.

[@dongubrud3518]

I would love to see Caitlin Clark as a guest. I think Sabs and Caitlin stand at least a 50/50 chance of winning a 3 point shootout. Thanks for the purrrrfect co-host. 😂

[@chipclatto8831]

Okay, seriously, there were dudes actually bitching about the ball size and getting their panties in a bunch defending Steph vs. Caitlin? Wow guys, grow a pair, it’s a damn 3-point contest! You can actually appreciate both Caitlin and Steph! 🙄

[@TaiyouArt]

Other teams watching Clark shoot threes right now 🥶💀

[@DaveLawniczak]

Your KP interview was well done !!!! Love to see you get CC in person 😊😊😊 Looking forward to seeing Caitlin the Destroyer next season...

[@allanburton9385]

Just the fact that we’re discussing who would win between CC and SC says something!

[@smoothblink]

💯

[@NotTheNorm]

Great follow-up to your interview with Keith. For sure, Caitlin and Sabrina do stand a chance of winning that competition. I hope to be able to see it. Perhaps you could interview one of Caitlin's brothers. Or her parents. More insights into what makes her so great.

[@mmikels]

Still waiting on the day you interview Caitlin Clark herself. That will be awesome. Fingers crossed. 🤞

[@francesw.6774]

With that level of accuracy, even if it's a noncompetitive shooting drill, CC is setting a new standard for what a woman can do with a basketball in her hands. If Sabrina or any other woman can match her, kudos to them too.

[@AlfredoRamos-ko3tx]

Hopefully you can interview Caitlin Clark ❤❤❤

[@Chris1969o]

Love this channel!

[@erwinserna845]

NBA all star game Caitlin n Sabrina vs Klay n curry it's amazing

[@JollyOng2]

It would be an interesting interview if you could get Kelly Krauskopf, Amber Cox, and Stephanie White on your show. But the biggest one would be CC22 herself.

[@howardbierley1581]

Get Cathy Englebert also.

[@markp353]

the NBA 3pt contest, it would be good if they included some logo as well

[@Nnammod]

You come across as very authentic with your opinions. Knowledgeable and beautiful. Keep it up🙏🏾👍🏾

[@scottmorin357]

It’s CCs first shootout gotta give her some grace. Let’s move it back to 29 or 30 feet.

[@hfoxdream]

Caitlin’s game is almost flawless. I can only suggest she gets more comfortable finishing with her left hand. She seems to insist on using her right hand on the left side of the basket which can be awkward. She did use her left hand at least once for a layup, but that can be improved.

[@jeffg1524]

I always thought if CC can develop a good midrange jumper and fade away shot she would be unbeatable. She relies too much on either insane 3-ptrs (which may look spectacular when they go in, but are not high percentage shots) or drives right to the basket and gets hammered. I'm so excited to see her improvement next season after a pro year under her belt.

[@amyk6319]

I think it is more important is for CC to work on varying her delivery of shots, so they are less predictable. Like being just as comfortable fading to the right for a 3pter as she currently is fading to the left or going left downhill to the basket just as much as she goes right. And because 3ptrs are worth more points, shooting 33% on 3pt shots is considered the equivalent of shooting 50% on 2s. And CC is actually more efficient on those logo 3s than she is from right at the 3pt line. Though adding a floater and jumper around the basket is good to have in her arsenal to increase her variety, you are less likely to get fouled on those shots, so going to the basket when you can is always going to be the better option. It has been statistically proven that longer 2s are the most inefficient shot you can take. CC had a midrange game in college, she just barely ever needed to use it. In college, most players couldn't guard her despite knowing what she was going to do, so she just didn't need as much variety.

[@jeffg1524]

@@amyk6319 Agree. You made excellent points. Having the extra shots means nothing if she plays predictably. That's why I was so encouraged when the coach said he's trying to prepare her for multiple defensive scenarios and circumstances. As for the 3 ptrs and comparing college to the pros, you identified it. In the pros, CC is guarded much closer with better talent. She's trapped on ball screens, blocked on staggered screens, picked up at half-court, face guarded 30 feet from the basket. That's why having a better all-around game and the ability to hit a wider selection of shots is so crucial. If anything, she might be guarded even more fiercely next season, so if she's going to rely on 3 ptrs as her main weapon the team may suffer. Anyway, so stoked for this upcoming season.

[@RandyMerrell]

Gee You Tube is full of fake clickbait on CC. So glad I have found a couple of real reporters. This is the best of them all.

[@zealazax6287]

CC was a soccer player and a track athlete. So she can really sprint for a long time.

[@Willard-l7t]

There is a great chance it will happen....as long as the WNBA is left totally out of the equation.

[@fixer1972]

It is "unrivaled" the difference between wanting to watch Clark, versus everybody else. There is something about Clark that is simply likable, I would watch her blowing on fingernail polish, nobody else in the WNBA can say that.

Get Caitlin on your show

[@kimoharris808]

I haven't watched the NBA All Star game for a few years but if this does happens I'd be in even it was pay per view just to see it! Steph and Klay vs Caitlin and Sabrina?! That would be insanely exciting! The ultimate finish would be for Caitlin to have the iconic Larry Bird moment where he shoots the final money ball and before the shot even reaches the basket he's got his finger in the air knowing he just sank the winning 3 pointer. Your interview with Coach Porter was awesome! Would Coach White be a possibility?

[@ckono5991]

We’re awake we’re awake..😅. Great analysis. Interview coach White and as for NBA All-Star three-point shootout, I hope it happens🤞🏽

i wish i have a cat like that. a cat who behaves like that 🤣 it's like the cat is wearing a batman mask 🥰

[@josedimasvillalpando-gomez7932]

Sabrina is not that consistent, we saw that in the playoffs! She is very seldom on; by that I mean that she can hit a shot almost at will. Curry & Clark are there. I would be surprised that both Curry & Clark end up tied with perfect or matching scores: supreme confidence and competitiveness. Clay & Sabrina will decide this on whoever has fewer misses. Curry & Clark will cancel each other out. I figure they both can hit their shots almost at will and focus that much more under pressure. Competitive people pressure themselves for this reason. I do pushups 14, if I shoot an air ball and never limit my angles because I might miss; including shooting behind the backboard. I’m 69 and do it for the challenge. Because of the experience factor I give Curry the advantage. The NBA has much more pressure and Curry has succeeded already under that pressure. Clark is unusually calm under pressure doing what she loves.

[@waxyblaze]

I really hope it’s just a 4 way contest to see who is the best instead of team wnba vs team nba… I love Ionescu, but she has not fully recovered from her surgery. Her shooting has been awful lately, and it would be a guaranteed loss regardless of how Caitlin performs.

[@yrocksimpson5842]

Loving the cat! Hope Sabrina's hand heels. Would be must, must watch for that 2 vs 2, hope your right.

[@TemT8]

I would like to see the shooters receiving a pass then shoot instead of out of the rack. For instance, Clark pulling the balls out of each rack and passing to Sabrina for the shots. Same for the guys, as this just brings more to the watching experience.

[@karencarlisle2887]

Clark NBA Shoot-Out; 6 million viewers.

[@ImagineNoCountry1]

CC gets $1 per viewer Thats fair. Right?

[@BobbyLaird-z1y]

My honest opinion would be Adam silver needs to pay Caitlin Clark 2 to 5 million for the NBA All Star game cause she will bring in people and revenue for the weekend and the city. Caitlin Clark needs to get a better agent also cause her agent screw up her Nike deal. It should had been for 4 yrs worth 5 million a yr. Caitlin Clark has been with Nike since 2022 for 3.5 million on her nil deal. Then in 2024 she got a new contract with Nike for 28 million for 8 yrs. So just 2 yrs at the end of her college yr she already worth over 7 million. Now with the 11.1 million she made in 2024 she is God in everything. Everything she does and touches turns into gold period. Everything has a price her time is worth millions so Adam silver u need to open up those pockets and pay Caitlin Clark if u want her in the NBA al star game.

[@amyk6319]

Though I would love an interview w/Stephanie White or any Fever player, I would like to see interviews of other WNBA players too. I think there are many great players on other teams who do not get the attention they deserve. And we know your interview would ACTUALLY be about basketball, unlike some in the media who just try to push controversial & divisive narratives to stir up drama. Allisha Gray, Jackie Young, Jonquel Jones, Kayla McBride & Rickea Jackson are some very good player that I don't think get enough attention. I think many CC fans want to find other players to like & support in addition to CC & the Fever. But unfortunately the WNBA & media are too busy pushing only a few players they deem more "worthy" than CC of attention. And I've noticed they also have this obsession with older vets, so any players who have been in the league for less than 5 yrs rarely get any attention or praise.
