I have never in my life watched WNBA Basketball and now I’m so excited to watch the Indiana Fever play

[@DustyTail]

Man you ain’t wrong on both accounts. Love seeing these vids of other players and sorta bio’s.,,, because, ….well I’ve ignored them forever. No longer tho Go Fever!!

I reserched the other two players they got, they picked up some gems. leilani correa put up 28 against SC and averages 15 points per game. Celeste Taylor is second team all defensive team. And Clark and Kelsey on the same team, the two best 3 point shooters in college history.

Attention to all WNBA Arenas, except the Fever, you'll have sellout game when the INDIANA FEVER comes to your town. Because everyone even non- WNBA fans will want to see Catlin Clark in action. So be prepared for the crowds. Good Luck to all the teams.

when clark starts kneeling for the anthem like the others, those crowds will disappear in record time, bet on it.

Good luck with that, Caitlin will find out, if she thought playing against the def of Raven Johnson was hard, there are players 5 times as good as Raven, i have been watching WNBA for 10 years now, Caitlin will be fine, but don't expect her to dominate her first year, or even second.

@@judgejurylw1026I don’t know the WNBA, but I heard a quote from players that Caitlin will average about 17 points per game 😢

[@judgejurylw1026]

@@richard_M7116 I could see that, but there are people expecting her to come in an average 32 points a game , like she did in college, and first off, i don't think that is fair to her, not in her first year, let her get her feet wet first, after all, she just finished up about a 40 game schedual, but i do believe within a couple of years , she could very well be averaging 32 a game, we will just have to wait and see.

[@kiranholt3296]

Caitlin was fantastic in college. The WNBA is the highest level she will play and its going to take a lot of time, energy and support for her to get use to playing whatever position she will be assigned. The massive spotlight on her is the media's idea and its probably making Catlin feel uncomfortable bc she knows she will not be the #1 shooter or the #1 go to person. She may want to be humble, listen and learn how to do her job.

[@andrewkwape7073]

You said the WNBA is the highest level for whom? There is no highest anything for a generational talent.

[@ScottSaye-l8s]

I’m so happy they have a professional league for women, there are so many talented young ladies out there. And yes, I love Caitlin Clark.

Grace and Lexie still better be on the team. WNBA cuts so many players.

I’m still trying to understand the WNBA, why would they need to cut the players if Clark is going to bring in a ton of money?

Canadian here! Why am i here? . Wanted to watch M madness , Not sure why but womens was on at the same time. I didn't know anyone . I just started watching. By the end i was so invested ,wanted clark and her band of short merry misfits. I was also a fan of lsu basketball,not politics. Reese and her team of peacocks . I leked her game and talking sht. The girls that won it all south Carolina i think are awsome. Anyway i fell back in love with college sports or school sports. Will i watch pros ,i doubt it unless im flipping by. I dont watch nba anymore either. Nfl, either. Hockey not all season anymore only toronto and handful of games. As for college, im invested in next season. Wbna dont want fans like me. Its a different game just on attitude. My school teams i made a ton of friends and life skill.

[@robertfindley921]

Women need to support the WNBA just like men support the NBA. The disparity in revenue is astronomical. I hope this year's drafts help tremendously.

[@MikeMadison-z7o]

Why. It's entertainment

[@crwebb6278]

Interesting that they hardly ever mention Nalyssa Smith… she’s a walking double double and has extended her shooting range to be a threat from 3.

[@samfrancisco8095]

It's a shame too. Their bench has depth. They should cycle them through to give a rest and keep the pace up. Thier fast-paced play can't be matched.

[@turdferguson1021]

Who are these people?

[@cbxwarrior1]

Jon I think the issue here with Caitlin is that there were so many other players that she needed for her legacy to be legitimate. Angel Reese, the South Carolina team, and Paige Bueckers and U conn.

[@mikeronald3812]

No. Iowa was selling out away games well before all of that. Her rare skillset is what set her apart. Everything else is just a compensating factor.

[@samfrancisco8095]

Missed that assessment by a mile. Can you spell the word DOMINATE?

[@stephtraveler7378]

LOL. In any other sport the headline would of read, "...players welcome Caitlin..." But since there are no fans in women's pro ball, the players are the only ones there to celebrate.

Look at all these fair weather friends; these band wagon jumpers oners. After thirty years all of a sudden they are big fans of women's basketball. They couldn't name a single team or player a year ago and now they can't wait for the season to start. Here is a newsflash: you aren't basketball fans, you are celebrity worshipers.

[@elmoblatch9787]

Professional sports is nothing more than entertainment. It's sole reason to exist is to sell products and make money. It's literally a movie with no script. Celebrities fuel movies and celebrities (athletes) fuel sports. A movie with Brad Pitt sells more than a movie with a first-time no-name actor. Life is not fair.
