One thing Stephen A didn't mention that I think really contributes to her greatness, is Caitlin's ability to get set and release her shot quicker than any player I've ever seen in the women's game! There are a lot of men that would love to have her release time.

[@melrosehawkins8294]

......and her footwork with the side step to either side or step back. This couple with your point about getting the shot off fast is a nightmare to guard. If a player does go out on her, she will drive past them to the hoop or dish. She makes herself get open. It looks like lazy defense, but it is her making the moves to get open shots. She is a nightmare to defend.

Please don’t say CC is the ‘Stephen Curry’ of women’s basketball. Let her be herself. Hated hearing Kobe-Mike stuff. There can be similarities but it’s a lazy metaphor. This comment also plays into a downgrade-narrative of women’s sports. Compare her to another female athlete. Or just say she has f*ing range
