When I went on KZbin to learn more about who she was, she already had tons of highlight videos generating millions of views. IMO, the idea that CC's fame started with the LSU final is just false. The only reason that final was a big deal was because she was playing in it. The reason for the high ratings was because she was playing in it.

Her step back threes with a swoosh (she never rims it) are electrifying and crowd pleasers. She is an unselfish team player as you can tell by her assist numbers. Her passing game alone is worth the watch. She can be aggressive, and she is a trash talker like non-other. (She is not a pretty princess). But she always has time for the kids!

I'm a 90's white kid who grew up in the Chicago suburbs. My entire (STAUNCHLY conservative) family adored Michael Jordan. The man was practically a god to me. In fact, I specifically remember a 1-2 year period in my childhood where I wanted to be black - just so I could be like Mike. My parents have always maintained that he's the perfect balance between competitiveness and class, and they were both thrilled that I chose to idolize him, and not some drug addled rock/rap star. Stephen A. Smith and his comments both make me nauseous. We've obviously reached a point of peak absurdity when it's become normal for actual millionaires to complain about their struggles to an audience that's almost guaranteed to be far worse off than they are. I don't think words are capable of describing how tired I am of hearing people whine about their race. You're the biggest name in sports media, Stephen. Please try to have some dignity.

My question is why these woman hitting Caitlin possible really hurting her so she wont be able to play and say NOTHING......why the coaches are not standing up and defend her and punish the player that are doing this...???......men do....sad to see......all these woman that talk bad about Caitlin..are super jeloeous ...Caitlin is feminine , sweet, and a badass in the game....no visible tattoos....no gossip....a true role model in today's society....a society that is super woke ..a society that have woman dressing like street walkers ....for the first time, I started watching this sport..and is because of her...I pray she continues inspiring new girls to be more like this..I also hope and pray she doesnt change.

[@ggray19]

It's a marketing game. Whether or not ANY of this is genuine, it's working to keep them in the headlines. This biggest problem I see is that NONE of Clark's team has her back. Somebody needs to step in "if" these fouls are overly aggressive/over the top! No need for explicit retaliation, but step in the middle of those flagrant foulers, and remind them it's a 2-way street, and backup your teammate.

[@user-cy3wj9uk5s]

That is what a lot of former black pro athletes are saying- they don't have her back and those players should be taken out. It is a team, a family and you must support one another above all else.

[@panhandlejake6200]

The WNBA could have made Clark - Reese into a HEALTHY rivalry like the classic Bird - Johnson matchups that still stand as some of the greatest today. Instead, they are allowing the atrocious bullying / victimhood behavior that very few will remember a few years from now. If Caitlin keeps her head, she will be remembered for decades - in spite of the WNBA.

Mac McClung, who won the Slam Dunk Contest is a 6'2 White guy. Was the G-League MVP, and they STILL won't give him a contract even though his number are better than a lot of NBA players. THAT'S racism.

[@manny.3248]

Before you push a narrative, you should know what you're talking about. Matt McClung is not in the league because he has challenges in defending against versatile wings, limited effectiveness in defensive strategies, which are prevalent, and his general size. He used to be on Lakers on a two-way contract at the end of the 2021 2022 season. I remember when him an Austin Reaves who went undrafted just like him but the year before, balled out in the last game against Utah. They both have the same skin tone, and Austin Reaves is still on the Lakers along with Colin Castleton. There is only one sport where skin tone does matter, or at least used to, and its baseball. They strategically pushed blk players out of the MLB back in the day. That's not an assumption either.

Angel Reese is jealous of Caitlin Clark's basketball excellence. As a former baller myself, I understand the competitive nature of the game. But can we please stop calling everything racism? When are we going to wake up and see that evil forces are trying to pit Black against White? We are all Americans. Just like in basketball, it's all about teamwork and respect for each player's skills, regardless of their background. Let's focus on the game and the amazing talent both Reese and Clark bring to the court. Basketball is a beautiful sport where diverse players come together to achieve a common goal.lets keep the ugliness out of the game. In the same way, our society should strive to work as a cohesive team, respecting and valuing each other's contributions. Let's do better, America! And ... as a black man... please stop interviewing Charlemagne...he's " Not like us." Lol

[@dhunter1133]

If the WNBA doesn't want Clark in their league, I imagine Ice Cube's league is still on the table. You'd have to think that - all things being equal - she'd rather make her mark in the women's pro league instead of a gimmick, but if they're intent on injuring her or making her miserable enough to leave....just take the promoter offering you more money and live your life.

[@user-cy3wj9uk5s]

Clearly Ice Cube doesn't have a problem with her being white. Neither LeBron or any other black pro athlete I have listened to. They look at it as a sport, and an athlete and team and leave the rest out of it.
