Andraya is a disgrace of a sports analyst. She's too emotional with her takes and she can't admit when she was proven wrong. Fire her ans find someone who can hold a debate.

[@eduvall7941]

Stephen and Shannon speaking Truth! Sadly, women can be so petty. Caitlin has proven herself under less-than-ideal circumstances at times during her rookie season. She's brought so many fans to the WNBA, which is a huge win for the league. She was clearly ROY, but also deserves the first team recognition. Well done CC!

[@gavinchongcy]

Love how SA and Shannon didn't let them go about their comments made prior. You can't just pretend you didn't say them and instead try to pivot it in another light.

[@sammiranda7718]

I’ve been saying this ever since the Caitlin hate began. In Europe you have dozens of countries with even more women’s basketball teams. You don’t think they’d be willing to pay whatever it takes to: 1) Have a bonafide U.S. Collegiate & WNBA SUPERSTAR female basketball player, 2) A humble white Christian player (just saying how they’re thinking), 3) A family woman who actually wants to get married and have kids, 4) An woman who’s an awesome example in every way to THEIR young girls, 5) She’ll get more money, less hate, and have a longer playing career (cause Europeans don’t tolerate cheap shots, and pettiness), and 6) To top it off, Caitlin will be MOTIVATING hundreds of European young girls and their budding basketball programs. How much do you think they’d be willing to pay for her services, her influence, her talent, and for her setting an example to Europe’s youth? It’s a no-brainer, especially when you consider she can come to the U.S. in the offseason.

Please tell me they said something about A'ja Wilson on the show today. She just won her 3rd league MVP. Lead the league in scoring and rebounding. The first WNBA player to ever score 1,000 points in a season, she's going for the 3 peat with the Aces, and her organization already sold out season tickets for next season for the 2nd year in a row. This is first take topic worthy in my opinion

[@completechiropractic246]

No body cares about boring down low midrange games...... Deep three's from now on and they better get them on every team to draw!

They talk about whoever gets the views and A'ja doesn't. It's the same in the NBA, Jokic wins his 3rd MVP but they talked about Lebron all year. Welcome to sports media, kid.

And what is most incredible was that CC put up these incredible numbers with not only all the crazy talk going on, BUT, she was one of the most targeted players on the court in WNBA history, perhaps in the history of women:s basketball.

[@RobbieStacks90]

Caitlin Clark is carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. She just took a team that was in the WNBA cellar into the postseason as a 22 year old rookie on the heels of taking the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes to back to back national championships and being snubbed from the Olympic roster and a gold medal despite being a top 5 player in the world... as a rookie. She can only do so much. At some point, she needs her teammates to move around and set screens. How can you expect her to do anything with multiple defenders draped all over her. Her teammates need to come prepared in Game 2 or else the Sun are going to win the series.

Why is Carrington not in jail? She committed a felonious aggravated assault with intent to do serious bodily harm by blinding Clark. Being on a basketball court does not excuse the crime and it was a hate crime so it's a federal crime. Arrest her.

[@jamesjefferson3809]

Amen. Everything you said was 100% right. Most of these WNBA analysts at ESPN just got out of the game within the last 10 years or so and were extremely jealous of Caitlin and wanted her to fail just because of the attention she got compared to them. It’s not a good look at all

It is fueling a lot of hate toward clark, simply because if clark is the best, they can't say they dominate. Thus the comment at the end about Wilson being the best there ever, is simply pushing that narrative. It is sick and wrong. Clark is just thrown into the middle of decades of hate.
