🚨 Lisa Leslie & Sue Bird Just Dropped A BOMBSHELL About Caitlin Clark‼️

#caitlinclark #indianfever #wnba

[@hood_TheJoker]

CC the only wnba player shooting logo 3s with ease and making NBA passes 70 to 85 ft... that style of play is attractive to many folks

[@user-yv9fx2pb4e]

Add to that the fact she is 2nd among guards in rebounds and best among guards in blocks, nobody is even talking about that, people only notice her shots and dimes

[@agustinbravo9306]

Yeah that's why we watch to see something amazing happen live even if you don't follow basketball you appreciate and like amazing plays

[@_Paul_N]

And she’s humble and doesn’t feed into the drama. What’s not to like about her ☺️ ?

[@tannerlibert7024]

If she could dunk it would be 100% over. The one attribute that's not on your list. This girl gets picked up before most men at the park, not one other female is getting picked up

[@mikekinzel4017]

Yeah she shoots like Steph Curry and passes and dribbles like John Stockton or Steve Nash no girl has ever had that kind of talent

[@tommydashed4205]

I remember I actually watched the WNBA back in the early 2000s. Sue Bird and Lauren Jackson are really the only two players I know outside of Diana Taurasi who is crazy that she's still playing and is still one of the best in the league. From my research I see that Lisa Leslie is basically the same kind of player as Lauren Jackson, dominant on both ends of the court.

[@GetBenched2010]

LOL, she not only started the anthem kneeling, but also the almost forced lesbianism culture that rules the league now. (Remember, she narrated that "count it" video flexing about the activism.)

I think her passing skills are her strongest attribute

[@SosNeedHelp]

i think it's he vision of the court ... and her BB IQ , she can score heavy but she will look for open player and get the ball there ... in other words .... she play for the W not her own stats .... so again remind us Curry who can score heavy and get our defense to focus on him while looking for creating open looks for other players....

[@MrNorcal81]

@@SosNeedHelp Exactly. Clarke is a classic point guard. She sees the entire court, her teammates on the move and how the defense is set up in one quick look. Her passing is so good that it sometimes surprises her mates. Aliyah Boston has benefited so much from Clarke hitting her with a perfect pass as she's steaming into the paint. Boston was great college center and has been a good WNBA center but her game is being elevated by having a floor general like Clarke finding her and getting the ball to her for layups.

[@exousia2002]

She makes passes others can't make because she can shoot long 3s off the dribble. Defenses don't stretch themselves out like that for other offensive players, opening different lanes to the basket, making her passes look different and exciting. That’s why Steph Curry passes look different than a LeBron pass.

[@lalaurienne]

CC is changing the game not only with her logo 3's but she's the new wave quarterback of a more explosive offense, directing the play on the court. Two shooting guards will be the "running backs" while power forwards and center posts will give way to two fleet "wideouts" catching passes from behind half court while running varied patterns around the boards. When C.C. runs the offense, the team does well like Kate Martin said about CC and Iowa. The W is in for an exciting evolution if the current crop of players, coaches and commentators don't blow it.

Inadvertently or not, CC is emulating Lisa Leslie’s MO who said: “It’s more than about me and numbers; It’s about the relationship; It’s about building community….” To me, this means autographing, entertaining, and socializing to attract eyeballs must be added to merely being a top notch producer of points which too many of the old guard and dour tattooed players think that this is all they need to do. How wrong and selfish they are.
