🚨🏀 SHUTTING DOWN Caitlin Clark Overreactions | The Elle Duncan Show

Yo CC got ate tonight... adjustment rookie period is real... I bet you CC fans wont even apologize to the Goat DT for her prediction... Was she still hating or issuing a real assessment

[@Marc-e3c]

The overreaction is from the media itself. Praising a player who never won anything as the greatest.

[@perfectgematriadecodesabc4259]

Facts they have to push her to bring the Wnba views, or all the new fans will leave

[@sharitastinson109]

THAT PART🎉

[@neoxsupreme]

No, she's not the greatest as some are alluding to but she unquestionably has had the greatest impact in raising the sport of women's basketball. TV ratings, attendance records, record ticket prices, record jersey sales for a draft pick, unprecedented lucrative shoe deal, and being the driving influence into the league instituting charter flights, etc., are all testaments to this.

[@gustavopicciuto]

Iowa didn't win a natty but Clark won several awards and countless records during her tenure in the NCAA. You don't get to be the all time leading scorer and 3rd all time in assists if you're not a generational player. She deserves all the praise she gets and her career is just getting started. You'll be hating for at least another decade.

[@malebovinemanure]

And you just discount all the records she broke. That is why we pay no attention to people like you.

[@mariamenyonam1555]

She was hyped so much by the media, people started to pay attention....of course there will be a lot of reactions; good or bad.

I can tell by the comments those people who are fans of CC & don’t really know anything about basketball 😂😂

[@fifis677]

I seem to remember the Fever having the no. 1 overall pick. It seems more like bad coaching. They have a lot of good players, but coach doesn't seem like she knows how to use them. Nice comparison to a 4 time WNBA Championship winner though; I like it :)

[@kingsupreme25]

Lmao

[@rollandcurtis874]

She produced 20 & 10 in her WNBA debut….. Caitlin Clark had 20 points on 33% shooting and 10 TURNOVERS. Caitlin Clark has NOW committed the HIGHEST amount of TURNOVERS in a career debut in WNBA history. That’s why when some of you people were saying that Caitlin Clark had the “mentality of Jordan”, I said that you must have been talking about Marcus Jordan, Claudia Jordan, DeAndre Jordan, or likely Michael B. Jordan. Add Caitlin Clark’s embarrassing 20 & 10 statistical debut to Caitlin Clark NEVER winning the NCAA Championship in college, unlike Michael Jordan winning the 1982 NCAA Championship, and now Caitlin Clark looks like you all overrated her. 👀

[@christophergarcia1935]

& yet she is the reason anyone watched/ will watch the WNBA this year lmao

[@boblangford5514]

When Michael Jordan won an NCAA championship with North Carolina, he did not win the Most Outstanding Player award. James Worthy did. Jordan hit the last shot with 18 seconds left. That’s great, but he had 16 points in that game. Worthy was the leader of that team. He had 28 points. Jordan could not win an NCAA championship without Worthy. Jordan didn’t even make it to the final four his sophomore or junior year. Michael Jordan turned out to be the GOAT. That’s great. Caitlin Clark has a very long career ahead of her. To judge her after her very first game is just silly. She is undoubtedly the most exciting college women’s basketball player in many decades. She needs more than one game to prove herself in the pros. I’m not saying she will be the GOAT, but to say that one game proves she won’t be the GOAT is just silly.

[@user-tr5tr3xf2d]

Excuses excuses excuses😅

[@Laurliuzz]

Her team is just awful.. if she was drafted by a decent team, things would be different for her. It also doesn’t help that her coach isn’t leaning in to her talent and is not letting her play the way that got her to be a household name

[@rpmarchant]

Because she handled the ball so much. Less work, less turnovers. Jealousy still rules

[@anthonypuccetti8779]

No, some of the turnovers were the fault of her teammates and bogus calls from the refs.

[@bperol1900.]

Without caitlin Clark wnba was boring"so boring dT. The play is so boring"too.😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜

[@n.t.8799]

Instead of leveraging Caitlin's potential to boost the WNBA's viewership and profitability, the approach seems counterproductive. Initially, she faced a challenging debut against a top defensive team, leading to fan disappointment. Subsequently, six back-to-back games afforded her no time for rest and recovery. Additionally, she incurred two early phantom fouls, resulting in reduced playtime. Fans who traveled from afar were deprived of watching her play extensively. Lastly, the referees' failure to protect her, culminating in a bloodied lip, was concerning. Caitlin ought to be cherished as the pivotal figure poised to elevate the WNBA from its current modest standing. The league must promptly address these blunders.

[@diligent1580]

You have to PLAY ...what do you mean cherish?! This isn't a video game!! Real life...when MJ was getting bear up by the bad boys no one said CHANGE the game!! Guess what MJ self evaluated...got in the gym ..came back & dominated. CC needs to do the same. You can't change rules for a player.

[@DublAJay]

Clearly you're new to the W. That's not how any of this works! The W is not about coddling any players. CC will succeed, but it will take time.

[@n.t.8799]

If the W does not rectify its mistakes in managing CC's games, it may be too late once CC's fame diminishes and fans' interest wanes, resulting in the loss of the multitude of new fans she attracted to the W. The W is, after all, a business whose interests are better served by making CC look good.

[@tonnyabram2551]

And the Clark excuses begin

[@DennAce87]

Why is it an excuse to say yes it was not a good debut and she needs to work on her transition to the WNBA but she will get better and be fine. Seems like an honest take to me.

Sis said 3 inches aint NEVA been a lot of inches 🙄😁

[@ultimaterankings1154]

Caitlin Clark is the only athlete in history whose entire potential 15-20 pro career is being judged by her first 2 games of her rookie season.

[@josephbobgreen]

Caitlin Clark's performance was truly outstanding, scoring 20 points in just three quarters. However, the officiating was notably poor, leading to her facing foul trouble unnecessarily. It’s rare to see such intense guarding in basketball, where a player is relentlessly defended to the point of having an opponent in her face constantly. If the WNBA wants to continue attracting fans and revenue, they need to allow players like Caitlin to showcase their skills freely. While strong defense is expected in playoff games, the excessive guarding she faced throughout the game was over the top and detracted from the experience.

[@kemlloyd5192]

@josephbobgreen - you cannot be a basketball fan if you think 5/15 with 10 TOs was a good game . You cannot be basketball fan, if you think teams should allow the opposing player to do what they do best b/c it’s a reg season game. It’s almost like CC fans are delusional . She will get better and it’s a learning curve . You gotta earn everything on the court!!

[@DublAJay]

The W is not college. Defense is played in the W. Expect CC to be guarded hard every game...that's just the way it will be. Nothing about the W game will be made easy for her just because she is who she is. This is what the vets meant...she's now playing against grown ssa women who have been playing at this level for years.

[@josephbobgreen]

@@DublAJay They're essentially admitting that she surpasses anyone else they've encountered, given the amount of attention she receives.

[@ALLCITY73]

The CC stans and WNBA newbies already are crying. They want Coach Sides fired and CC on a new team or new teammates.

[@jnkazee2526]

Nah, sides does suck. She never wanted to be head coach after Pokey was fired. We'll see if she steps up be it's not much to be hype about

[@ALLCITY73]

@jnkazee2526 Who tf accepts a Head Coaching job that doesn't want it? And what does Sides have to do with CC missing shots? I thought she was supposed to come in the league and do what she did at Iowa? Yall blaming everybody but the person who has the ball. DT told everyone it wasn't gonna be easy but everybody said she was just jealous

[@jnkazee2526]

@@ALLCITY73 for me, two things can be true. Clark is struggling so far, but if you know the Fever(or basketball) Sides is not a head coach. I never said a word about Clark being almighty from day 1. In fact I think a lot of that is exaggerated by people who are just annoyed by Clark stans* who of course would feel that way. But there's plenty of room to think shes an immense talent that can play better AND that the Fever have a lot of issues at coaching and personnel. The Fever did pick #1 after all.

[@dmcdurmon]

WRONG...CC is the reason millions of new viewers are watching these games and selling out arenas. Those arrogant, weak-character women are "petty" just like the NBA stars have said. CC fans, little children, celebrities, and endorsement deals are the proof that it's MOSTLY CC. This league was not even economically viable till now.

The point is thats its one game. She played bad. Shes human. Plus nobody given the Sun's defense any credit. So if she goes out tonight and lights it up, then what will you contrarians say.

[@UnconventionalReasoning]

Basketball fans wanting instant gratification is the problem. The only player who was completely dominant in his rookie year was Wilt Chamberlain, leading the league in points, rebounds, and minutes (per game and total, despite playing only 72 of 80 games). Caitlin Clark's comp is not Wilt, it's more like Larry Bird and Steph Curry.

[@b.e.r.nnetwork8251]

Just never listen to people who have to make headlines. I didn't overreact because she scored 20 points in her first game and I saw the rest of the team scored like 51. What I didn't know was that they played a top defensive team.

I feel like Elle and a lot of media uses her platform to be so obtuse purposefully . Just because the players on the Fever are WNBA players doesnt mean they are better, relative to the league thet are in than Iowa.

And the spotlight is also on Aliyah Boston in year 2.She only scored 4 and got worked by Bri

[@dylanloveskellytaylor4774]

It’s not the best and the elite in the world because why then to they prefer players to go overseas and play in Europe and get training there before coming to play in the WNBA and which is why most rookies end up not starting right away but sitting on the bench for a couple years before even playing in a game. This year is a bit unprecedented with many rookies actually starting. This is why so many loose their fanbase from college because by the time they are playing in the WNBA they have left and no longer watching.

[@rafaelmejia5988]

It doesn't help that the Fever is probably the worst team in the league. That's not going to help CC.
