What the woman in the middle is saying is true. To be a father and be able to turn your daughter into a sniper like Clark is, is different.

[@LittleCobra]

Love seeing womans basketball being talked about. I have so much respect for players like Caitlin, Angel, Flaujae, Cardoso etc for how they play basketball but also how they manage the love/hate they receive from the public and media. Incredible people 😊

[@ronaldholmes1248]

One of the biggest surprises for me was seeing Flaujae play ball cause the last time I seen her she was a kid competing on Jermaine Dupree's The Rap Game so when I saw her ball last year and this year I was like wow she can ball

[@jermf35]

Yeah they have an incredible group of woman going to the pro's led by Caitlin huge star and bringing a lot of talented woman with her to the pro's.. now the pro's need to stop hating on the young woman and except them and welcome them. It's thosebyoung stars who are going to help save the WNBA and help them get paid more. The vets or old ladies need to stop being jealous

[@tootsx8675]

I agree that she needs to be reeled in from time to time, but I think a lot of us forget that she’s the biggest name in basketball right now… and she’s only 22 years old. Like it or not, that is a crazy amount of pressure to put on someone who is essentially a kid.

If leading the country in scoring and assists is doing too much ill take it. She takes a lot of shots but her shooting percentage is still good

[@jermf35]

She's a great all around player. She was having trouble making shots so then she fed her teammates and had them score. She adjusted super well. Showed she isn't selfish and team oriented... but I'd rather have her with a hot hand all of the time lol but it's good to know that if she goes cold. She will set up her teammates and feed them the ball to score

[@mhykreazion7561]

I loved real passion on the game not passion only because of fame. Any lovers of the game can see that difference that’s the reason women’s basketball in NCAA is relevant today because of what they see with Caitlin. I’m Filipino from Philippines and never watched NCAA for a very long time already, and yet for this 3 consecutive years I’ve watched NCAA because of the passion I saw with Caitlin.

[@jermf35]

Yup... she brings eye balls to the TV and to the live game to watch. Now if the WNBA Markets her well. Then that will translate to the WNBA. And they need that.

[@David-kf1vh]

That’s what’s up! You put so much work in, that when shit heats up you need to fall to your level of training.

Angel Resse is wilding. Talk about her. Caitlyn is the truth and is saving women's basketball.

They're both so good that a lot of people hate them. A bad part of success, worse when it's such young people and seems like being a woman is unacceptable to a chunk of society

Iowa had only been to 1 final 4 in 1993 and she carried them to Back to Back Championship games. To hate her shows fear of what she can become!!!

[@allpositivenetwork]

that's nonsense. Because I don't like any Vilanova or Syracuse players as a Hoya fan.

[@timdehoogh8441]

to me Caitlin Clark worked hard to where she is at now. The WNBA Players are just afraid they are boasting that Professional players are different how so older yeah maybe but Clark would be faster and she has great situational awareness. every time after each game Clark gives a good run down on the game she just played during the news conferences . I am sure Caitlin Clark would change the outlook of the WNBA . Just remember this fact all of those Pro players that are bad mouthing Clark now they were once college players so they don't have any water to stand on they just need to shut up and take notes I am sure Clark has notes on them how they play. If someone is going to the pro's they would be smart on doing research watching games they see on tv . Besides Clark never knew about Big 3 5million dollar offer . everyone says WNBA pays less yeah they do probably because there is no excitement but when we started to see Clark go up on the awards and as the playoffs were approaching then after the Championship game was over there is still excitement.

[@theshadow5800]

Who's hating on her and why? It can't be her play. It can't be how she handles herself off court. That only leaves jealousy and/or racism, perhaps because blacks have tradionally laid claim to basketball as there's and she's exposing the fallacy and silliness of that attitude? And she's doing it as a white girl playing with blacks, but not acting like, behaving like or pretending to be black. That's why there was such a contrast with the LSU squad.

[@deejaay]

WRONG! Basketball is not a BLACK sport. Just so happens that the demographic of the sport is predominately black. "traditionally laid claim" Like there is some certification or level of degree for black people to claim a sport. .. that's ignorant. You're talking like CC is the ONLY white (female) player in the entire sport of basketball. The media sure does scramble you all perceptions. In any sport, a player is going to be love and a player is going to be hated (hate is a strong word, I prefer dislike) because of well they (she) play. What the fuck is behaving like or pretending to be black? Please expand on that shit! When does playing basketball equate to being a race?! Im not here to do tit-for-tat because CC did some stuff, too. But, it wouldn't bother me because all you gotta do is respect it. That's what lacking is respect for the players to put all their energy, time and effort to play and entertain you all. But, I need you to expand on "traditionally claim..." "jealousy" and "fallacy"
