Tamika never had a triple double as a player, Clark did it as a rookie. Clark outdid them all.

It was NEVER a race by the middle of June for ROTY. FFS stop bringing it up. Her rookie records are so many the Fever couldn't list them all on their promo with Mitchell and Boston. They had a QR code to see them all. :D

I'm from Asia, been fan of NBA. Never watch WNBA until CC in 2024. Only watch CC games.

[@kaylamendenhall2393]

There are literal statistics that show most of the growth in multiple ways was because of Clark. Also CP was amazing but they also had 25 percent fan voting for MVP. Then the next year they took away that fan voting. That says a lot.

[@wishbone1490]

They forgot to add that component because it doesn't fit their narrative

[@rodericksmith7232]

CC is GOAT over all rookies she has broken most records of rookies period and 2 triple doubles only ever rookie assists rebounds points 3 pointers! She is Wilt Chamberlain as far as stats no rookie has her avg. She 6 to 1 vs any other records !

[@Wraithlen]

The records she broke this year are just stupid. And yeah, she set the all time TO record. She'll probably have that forever and NO ONE will give two shits about it. :)

Amazing that CCs over 30 or more records she broke so far "as a Rookie" don't count in the realm of being the unquestionable ROTY or MVP.

[@MrSoulauctioneer]

facts or biases? Clarks the best rookie in WNBA history. Hence the records. She outdid Parker's rookie season, time to buckle up and face the FACTS you want to talk about. Clark is THAT girl. But seeing how people crowned Wilson MVP before the first tip off, seems some facts are being ignored. In no league in the universe does a member of defending champs in 4th place get considered for MVP.

[@rocketboosters644]

Caitlin Clark is the best rookie ever! Maya moore and Candace Parker dont even have better stats then CC!

[@hardensoul7248]

Candace Parker came into a stacked team. Previous year Lisa Leslie took off for maternity leave, it was reason the Sparks were able to get #1 pick. Candace had great rookie season but fans were able to vote for MVP that year. 🤷‍♂️

It’s funny how you try not to be biased against CC????

[@jamarmoore9548]

Also, we all knew Caitlin was winning rookie of the year before the all star break. The final nail in the coffin was when CC went into Choicago, bust they ass, then got a standing ovation from Angel's home crowd. There was definitely no more arguments after that

[@rometallud1161]

Why, do you have to bring up the foundation of the league? Is that CC's fault, if no one is watching them then?, when few people watching sleeps on the stands? How is that relevant when you are talking about CC?

[@Ridneymaxwell95]

It's crazy how every conversation that has to do with a black woman it seems like yawl get confused on where Caitlin Clark stack up but we're smart enough to know who's better and as a rookie she's done broken more records than the women you named

[@Logo3_22]

CC is the best rookie ever the stats alone prove it and the record she has broken.. When Parker won the MVP She had worst stats than CC rookie season and no player in the league were putting up Aja’s number

[@flipewright7325]

You guys are so delusional. It’s clearly Clark is the best rookie to do it. Her impact is bananas. They have to move the game to the NBA arena. Selling out on the road all the records took the fever to the playoffs. Every time I look up she’s breaking a record.

[@MarcioNYC]

The WNBA was already the best women’s basketball league in the world before CC arrived-everyone knows that. If CC were to leave to play elsewhere, the WNBA would still hold that title. However, just because a league is the best doesn’t guarantee people will watch, follow, or engage with it. What long-time fans of the league often miss is that CC and this rookie class (but especially CC) brought something crucial: entertainment. Following CC’s journey has become must-watch TV for many people, which has driven up both viewership and attendance. People are now talking about the WNBA, and the league has become culturally relevant in ways it wasn’t before, largely thanks to CC and her fellow rookies.

[@rogerbrown3595]

Alicia Jay is out of her mind if she really believes Caitlin has not been the most impactful player in wnba history. There is no competition. At no time have millions tuned in to watch any game. She has brought viewership & attention to an all-time high.. On top of that Candace Parker was official but Caitlins season has bypassed any and all players whether vets or rookies. No one has ever broken or set so many records in 1 season and she is doing it as a rookie which is mind boggling! So I would rank her first ahead of Parker & any other player. No one can match what she has done in 1 season or in the history of wnba. Even when Candace was playing nobody cared to watch. CC is must see TV for millions!

Caitlin Clark is the MVP of the league y'all have lost your mind 20 something games with million views over 16000 game attendance no one has had 15/5/5 season ever Catlin Clark is now 19/5/8 no one ever has done this ever.

[@timwylie]

It was weird that you talked about stat comparisons except between Parker and Clark, and didn't discuss how someone averaging less than 19 pts a game won MVP. If Parker started this year, she would have been a great player, but not in the top 5 for MVP discussion. Yet, her winning MVP seemed to be the main reason why you thought she was the best rookie.

Now they don't just go see the Panda and turn around and leave. They see all the animals and spend money for drinks and food and remember how much fun a a zoo visit can be. All the animals benefit from the profits and get better food and care .But it seems theirs a lot people that work at the zoo that want to kill the Panda for some reason.

It’s a huge turn off to even want to look at other talent when you diminish Caitlin’s current season by needing to bring up the past. Nobody does this to other new phenoms that come out in other leagues. It’s not about saying she’s the best ever but when do you see “wemby is good bit he’s not lebron isn’t Michael,!” Etc.

[@pyrral]

Apparently in 10 years you have not figured out how to evaluate one’s performance. It is quite obvious CC has been the ROY all along. It’s amazing how someone that has only rebounding to her credit, along with a 13 point apg, and stat padding, can be considered by you as being in the running for ROY, especially when compared to the many records broken by CC. There must be a bias on your part to consider AR at all. Your credibility is down the drain. Please let everyone know why you’re doing this ? My humble opinion.

[@washuneluvhada7616]

Can Rookie Candace Parker win MVP this season vs AJA WILSON?Or ROTY? 🤔 NO!!!😂😂😂 And fact is Aja needed POINTS to take this MVP Like Anthony Edwards said, "they had no skills back then"🤷🏽‍♂️, literally broke standing WNBA records, only Ajas scoring record is the only real one left, Team USA MVP gold 3x , college chip is irrelevant, so a WNBA chip against these Olympian stacked super teams will cement this for all casual fans 😂 Nobody beating the Lynx now tho😢 So what is the truth? 😂STATISTICALLY and IMPACT Caitlin has the greatest rookie season.

How can you compare her to anyone , I've never watched BB but the way she is guarded and still does what she is doing as a rookie is incomparible in any sport outside of maybe PELE , I've seen her with 5 opposition players surround her as a rookie that is what opposing COACHes think of CC . Think about what she has done in a few months PELE , MJ , ALI , TIGER even Rod Laver who many wouldn't even have heard of were all junior champions recognized as JNRs like CC who changed the game and became bigger than thier sport , the kid deserves her credit . Triple doubles , 35 point , 19 re bound/ then you got the triple double she didn't get and staying of the All star floor for Erika another record , scoring records Assists record's . She is smashing records even NBA stat's are mentioned All time records Rookie records and then you have to consider the Pied Piper effect that is CC the financial Tidal Wave the WNBA seem to demand but without the attention isn't how it works tbh she has all the skills well spoken fantastic with media , open and honest funny she has no flaws except she is a ruthless competitor a KILLER attitude

[@digitalsoldier-1742]

AS for 'best' rookie, the stats are easy to look up. Compare past ROY winners--as well as the MVP past winner stats--with those of CC; then add the fact of Caitlin's draw--TV & tickets--not only do you get best rookie and the records set, but also the WNBA records she now owns, and I return the question of best rookie while making a case for CC as MVP. BTW, Reese was never a contender this year for ROY...not really. Garbage time rebounds and points to continue a double-double streak? Gimme a break.
