NBA Players BREAK Their Silence in Defense of Caitlin Clark

[@judybertagna4527]

Jealousy is destroying the WNBA. YOU LADIES HAD YOUR CHANCE, BUT YOU DESTROYED IT WITH YOUR GREEN EYE JEALOUSY. GOOD LUCK TO KAITLYN CLARK. I HOPE SHE SOARS.

[@steveosborne1239]

And racist black privilege mentality and you support for segregated BLM hatred and of the USA Rather then being fair and honest

Well you don’t need to hope, cos she is.

[@Nyghtprowler]

I've said it before - it's a different world. Women are intrinsically different than men. We handle stress and adversity differently, we handle emotions differently. People keep saying "these women are acting petty" or whatever other comments are being made are true - it's just normal female behavior and in my opinion is WHY females competing will never compare to men competing. I'm not saying women do not belong is sports, but don't ever think it will compare to men's sports. It's just two different worlds and has to be treated as a totally different thing. Honestly the best female sports names out there to me, tend to be tom boys, or are more masculine acting. It's easy be drawn to them because they are relatable to men, who are the ones settings the standards. Look at Caitlin, she carries herself like a dude. She's not engaging in the female BS, she stays humble, doesn't feed the trolls, stays focused- those are masculine traits where we can separate the emotion from the task / job at hand.

[@skilleddog2968]

Isn't that how it always is from female friendships too. Jealousy destroys their friendships. That will transfer on all things that they do.

[@joannebies3879]

NBA stars came out first to support Caitlin. Too bad the WNBA and Fever management fell down on the job and DID NOT support her when she was assaulted on the court by other players or when the referees were “compromised” which happened the whole season towards Caitlin. Caitlin’s basketball IQ is off the charts. She really “coached” the Fever team to the playoffs. I love Tyrese’s respect for Caitlin

[@devonlindsay3879]

She's a phenomenal player. But she is also a woman who emanates grace and class; she is electric and you can't turn away. No one can fake or learn what she has and is. That's why so many of us accidentally saw her flash across our phones and were immediately hooked on basketball for god's sake, but basketball only when she was playing.

[@williamrommel9694]

Basketball has fallen to the bottom of my sports interests. I was really excited when Minnesota got a pro team back after losing the Lakers. And I was happy for the expansion into women pro basketball. But with the appearance of CC to the college game I was introduced to what I call a complete and exceptional player. A young stand out player completely hooked me on Clark's journey. Now I am addicted and I want to see the league become self sufficient. All because of one shining light.

[@beanzieobeanz2955]

[@crisalcantara7671]

if you dont have talent work hard , but these lazy mtrfkrs are just overpayed and when someone who's talented shows up who also works hard they get jelous and hte her

[@HiroForever]

This IS true, however, the other females are laser focused on CC race. They are big mad and jealous that she out plays, out works, them AND she’s white. They lack self awareness that their behavior only makes them look like bigger losers. They think their race owns basketball.

[@daledowden7954]

That was the single most dirty thing ever done in the game of basketball until every ref in that game all acted like they didn't see it happen. 😮 The entire sold-out crowd saw it happen. 😮 it happened to the one with the ball. 😮... That was despicable ... Every ref there should be banned forever. 😮

[@beckybales5848]

DEFINITELY

[@bunnyb9326]

As women we should be lifting each other up, regardless of whether we’re on the same team or not. But instead, the WNBA is showing examples of exactly what sportsmanship is not supposed to be.

[@eytonshalomsandiego]

[@johnraymond9170]

It’s only new to the W, Iowa has known about her for years. She was always must see TV. People would line up for hours to get a seat in away arenas just to watch her play. She could sell tickets to her practice routines, she’s that popular.

[@ep9421]

One thing I don't like about the Fever,is that they don't support Caitlin on the court when she's getting bullied

[@fearnobeer9077]

Jealousy and racism ,plain and simple

[@JamesBurden-zy8kc]

Your so right,first degree assault.

[@MichelePorch]

I say kudos to Caitlyn!! She was able to bring her talent to the utmost because she is humble and caring obviously. Her personality is sweet but true to the game. Dealing with all the punishment from other players, not giving in to their emotional weaknesses; Caitlyn does exactly what she should do by walking away not giving up! Staying strong and keep pushing forward. The courage of respecting yourself is very high! God has blessed her.

[@durwoodgray3821]

Someone needs to do something about the Refs. They suck.

[@trudyisaacs840]

Of course NBA players are speaking up. They've financed the WNBA for years, and with Caitlin Clark, and the viewership she brought in just her rookie year, they could offload that burden. But jealousy, envy, and racism in the WNBA has Caitlin's fans urging her to walk away from the WNBA, and take her talent and her money-making ability with her. So the NBA has stepped in and chastised the WNBA for their treatment of Clark. But as long as they have thugs playing in the WNBA, and the powers that be won't step in and put an end to literal assaults perpetrated by those thugs, no superior collegiate players are going to want to play in the WNBA. And the average citizen isn't going to pay good money to see thugs. Personally, I'd like to see the NBA stop providing financial support for the WNBA until they clean up their act. Or go under.

[@SooPak206]

They all hate against her because shes pure talent. Something they need to work on or dont have. Catchup to her ladies, quit hatin

[@davidjackson1138]

If she continues down the path she is on she will be the goat of the WNBA

[@ninakosi7979]

The jealousy and hate is more

[@robertstanford1778]

Caitlin has always given flowers to the women that set the table for her. Tamika Catchings, Maya Moore, Candace Parker, Cheryl Miller even Sheryl Swoops. were all her heros as a young girl and they imspired her to greatness.

[@NandolfBlockbuster]

And every one of them dunked on her while she's trying to make her own path.

[@slanesimpson]

Got to love this stuff… Anytime you can come with the big guns everybody wants to listen. My hope is next year everybody just gets to work and they play they at the top of their games.

[@joecampbell2496]

I been all in on CAITLYNN CLARK since her last year in college, the first time I ever saw her. It was super easy to do. I was confused by all the hate that revenue hemorrhaging league placed upon her. How could SO MANY PEOPLE in said league embrace hate so brazenly? So stupidly? Then we had the election.

[@planetearth1705]

They need to stop cause nobody likes a bully, nobody. They are taking away from their own greatness by trying to demean and reduce her.

[@raycobb327]

When she came out of college I said the WNBA need to put CC out front like Golf did with Tiger Woods. What they don’t realize is it’s going to help all of them.

[@barbaratowle6666]

CC has ways said she’s in the WNBA because of the greats that have come before her and she has even named them!

[@paparazziphotography6712]

Her talent is the truth, and it speaks for itself. some have that special gene & talent, some blossom in time,and others who may have to work harder to blossom, and here's my point, no matter the level of ones talent ,it steel must be worked on, and with that said, some bloom early and they just have that IT, but what what carries that special talent is the inner hunger to continue,and keep working and asking that all important question how can I get better, and also speak with those who have scaled to continue to progress and pushing as they grow and mature. Every now and then youll come across that special one, no matter what they've achieved it isn't enough to just settle for that: Michael Jordan, Bill Russell, Stepf Curry, Mike Jordan Dr. "J", and now Caitlin Clark. Real talent doesn't have a color! Larry Bird himself which quite a few people aren't aware of, and he stated this himself, that in his upbringing he played with mostly older Black players due to the proximity of where he grew up, He himself stated that most of this skill level came about when playing with the older black players that was in his neighborhood. So when it came to the NBA it came to him as NO surprize or big deal to him because of the black players that were in and around the neighborhood that he grew up in and he has stated himself that playing with the blacks is where he really appreciated and benefitted from his talents being sharpened and HE himself had not hesitating of speaking of how and where his game was shaped at! Where I was raised it was ALL about your ability to show your gaME, BASEBALL, BASKETBALL,FOOTBALL, TRACK, VOLLEYBALL, AND EVEN SOCCER. So what she's a white girl and I have NO problem with saying that! The question can, The girl can BALL! Beginning and end of question! So if she can, she's a winner and shes on my squad. Like the late great owner of the Oakland now L.A. Raiders Al Davis ALWAYS said, "just win baby". Good enough for Al Davis its good enough for ME and Caitlin Clark! Mr. Hop....

[@louielouie9768]

EVERYBODY but Caitlin is talking.. everyone else talks about Caitlin but Caitlin.. Caitlin to date hasn’t once ever spoke about the nonsense.. she just played her game and that’s it.. while everyone else continues to talk….

[@TheCaesar429]

why do some people want us to be excited about previous wnba players that we were never excited about? CC has always mentioned the players she idolized growing up. Sheryl Swoopes ,Lisa Leslie ect were stars and nobody disagrees with that. Their skillsets just didnt cross over to where casual bball fans would get excited. The nba has always tried to force feed the public these wnba players. You cant make a consumer buy something they dont wanna buy. CCs game transcends all the previous wnba talent. Theres never been a wnba player ive ever compared to an nba great. CC is the only womens player who gets me to adjust my schedule on a Tuesday night because i find out shes playing at 7pm. I love Diana Taurasi. I love Stewie and Sabrina too. But CC is different. Shes now the face of basketball in general along with Lebron and Steph. Shes one of my favorite basketball players. full stop.

[@harbs_cantina]

If the haters put half as much effort into training to be a better player as opposed to throwing all this negativity at Caitlin Clark then they might actually become more proficient at the game.

[@Thato3626]

sad that you don't see women not some not supporting her .....She is dammmmmm good!!!!

[@jaymthesn5981]

Dumb take... Like... REALLY DUMB TAKE. "Why are not all male supporting LeBron?? Why so many haters?" See??? Dumbest take I saw today.

[@dingleberry6400]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@jaymthesn5981I think you take the crown for dumbest take actually. The original comment is clearly referring to CC’s peers that aren’t supporting her, which is an understatement cause a lot of them are quite literally out to get her on the court in a way that’s seldom seen before. Almost everyone who hates on lebron are doing so from their couch with Dorito dust in their bellybutton. Ask any NBA player what they think of bron and they’re gonna give him his flowers. CC’s peers are just jealous that she’s shining and they’re not. It’s that simple

[@jerryhaines5168]

She is more like Koby than LeBron she plays both ways but love the fact that he is taking up for her her talent is what makes her special and she is getting the same hate that Larry Bird got because she is white and she is preforming at such a high level and she will get better it will be special to watch

[@unicaonesimo]

CC took Women's Basketball to another level. Most of the existing players of the WNBA cannot match those skills , so they play the "race" card to hurt and diminish her instead. It is rather embarrassing to see their cruel and petty jealousy at play.

Clark has the skills and character it takes to be offered good opportunities. Stars recognize an upcoming talent. None stop criticism - she handled with grace. If the hate is aimed and causes her an injury, well, I'd take a bettter opportunity before that happens.

I cannot stand when people start getting all in the during slavery and the ancestors... and who "paved" the way. TF?! What year did the WNBA begin? 1997 not fkn 1902 The league was open to all races to participate in. Furthermore there were white players that were more skilled than blackkplayers...But everytime someone mentions clark they bring this trash up. What, ONLY BLACK PLAYERS participated in the league? What, black players were prohibited to play and had to rally, protest, and break down these barriers? NO Sooo as a black person, when you only mention the black players "paving" the the way and not mention white players doing tbe same... Mentioning someone who came before anybody... Is an attempt to diminish Whatever greatness you see in front of you.

Watching her on the floor, the way she’s constantly evaluating, processing, planning-reminds me of the brilliant technique of John Stockton of the Utah Jazz. Watching him was like watching a master chess player. He was always 10 moves ahead, never lost his cool. CC is also a very intellectual player like Stockton. But I think she’s also a very laser-focused player. Watching her, I get the impression that she’s in her mental zone of completeness. Doing what she loves, what she’s wired for, what she’s been gifted to do. She’s kinda like scorched earth of the basketball court. Now, can the WNBA afford to get some referees who aren’t blind?😵‍💫💕

15:44 That goes without saying and is true about every sport, even the NBA. To me, this is a weak point because the thing is, Clark has brought the WNBA INTO conversations with her skills, play, attitude. No one other player before or even now has done it with a poor attitude. No offense to the WNBA pioneers, but let's be real, it wasn't talked about before. So I don't think Green understands the significance of Clark, while other WNBA players are ruining it succumbing to a poor attitude that are very unsportsmanlike.
