Nice.Alot of it has to do with money and timing as well. Clark was in the right place at the right time as NIL and endorsement deals came into play for college players. Then you had this college player in her last two years at Iowa, (not Uconn, or S Carolina) making more money then they'd made in their whole careers, (Remember that Uconn and S Carolina make up a huge portion of the WNBA). Then she was absolutely trashing the NCAA record book. Yet people like to add that they weren't jealous. Then she gets drafted as the first player in the draft, and all of this attention gets focused on her. (Because of her exploits in college). While she's getting the rookie salary she's still making more off the court in a year them most of them have made in their careers. She sets, season and WNBA records as a rookie, makes the All Star team as a starter, ROTY, and first team all WNBA. Still no jealousy out there, though right. I mean I get why a lot of this has happened, but denying this is a real thing is beyond ignorant. On top of this, Clark didn't ask to be in this spotlight, and NO player with a brain would have turned down these financial opportunities when they presented themselves. In the same way I don't hold Reese in a bad light for being smart enough to take advantage financially from her wearing the black hat in the whole Clark vs Reese controversy in college. She's made a bunch of money off this. Probably way more then many WNBA vets.
Keep her out there to get the team out quickly in transition, and a lot of times, she can drive to the rim. In sets, run plays for her, set some good screens, and if she's denied at the rim, she can kick it out. She should try to get back to the mid range if possible.No because the lane is a kill zone in FIBA. Shes figured that part out.. she does have a midrange game which should be a zone killer.. but yeah, agreed.
I haven’t watched Clark after every basket but I have seen her at minimum clapping or holding up a fist when her teammates score. She pumped her fist on a Reese bucket last game. If they don’t want to celebrate each other’s success then I guess that’s on all of them. Honestly, I don’t know if they are purposely not reacting to each other or not.Because they know the CC fanbase will freak out if someone doesn't celebrate every single basket she makes, regardless if CC does the same for her teammates. Newsflash...she doesn't.
I don’t want to talk about defense…another poster thinks he knows more about it than I do. Though I agree with this happening - lack of cohesion on both ends. Mostly because they aren’t used to each other.Right. like you think they care what the fan base thinks. Answer this. Does this team act, or play like they're connected an d playing together? We should have run Italy off the floor, like we did in earlier this year. This whole two different groups thing isn't working. As for Clark does she share the ball feeding her team mates on the floor whether its Reese or Copper, or Boston? Does she allow whatever her feelings are to affect her play on the floor?

If that's true, I may have to skip sleeping to catch the reactions of the anti-CC crowd and black Twitter. They'll be out in full force blaming US Caitlin Clark fans (yes all of us around the world, including here on this message board....I'm dead serious, that's how delusional these people are and there are receipts for the doubters..............) for pressuring Kira Lawson and Team USA into starting CC over whoever they take out.
@Legend12 @WDSMHawk
Of course on the flip side, if Caitlin has another bad game like she did against Italy, the reactions will be as bad as the Aces game.
Regardless, all the more receipts to save for those that still live in a bubble here on this message board and don't think it means anything........![]()

Yep, it’s a Soros conspiracy.Add Kara Lawson to the group of Stephanie White, Christie Sides, the Fever management and WNBA execs out to disrespect or otherwise ruin Caitlin Clark.
Weird hobby you've got there. But good for you
