The Indiana Fever have reached 17 wins for the 1st time since 2016 and are playoff-bound for the 1st time since then. The Chicago Sky will finish with a worse record than last year. There’s no debate.

Blocks per game is the most embarrassing for Reese

Why can't we just move past the fact that Sheryl Swoopes is an idiot? She apparently was abusive as a coach and is just not a very good person in general.

The female Jordan living up to her name lol

Angel Reese is embarrassing to watch. That dribble someone posted a few pages back is so cringe inducing. Holy shit, it's hilarious. 

What I love is the “I’m the reason too” comment.  You know she believes that

Without a doubt. She *thinks* she's up there, but her "play" says otherwise. She's just so bad.

But but but.... The was supposed to be the WNBA version of bird/magic... Only problem is Reese can't make a layup.  She fucking sucks. All these bitches should be sucking Clarks dick but they can't process the fact that a little white girl from Iowa made them as relevant as they've ever been.  Heads exploding everywhere

Does she mean the fans who are buying tickets to see Caitlin play. What nasty people? Or does she mean the shit talking fans and commentators who are pissed of some white girl might pull the WNBA out of being a fringe, niche sport?

Egos were falcon punched. 
 

It is a hard reality to realize you and your sport were completely invisible/irrelevant for 25 years, and this one player really is the league. 
 

You thought the TV and ESPN coverage was organic and not mandated by the NBA prior to this season.  
 

Now the league has a chance to grow in earnest and earn that PR. Best of all, they are attracting tons of female fans, young and old. This is how you build your league. 

The jealousy will be gone publicly by next season and the league will be better for it. They should thank Clark for putting up a fantastic record breaking season to shut up all haters.

This.  It's laughable that these women are so twisted up in knots over the obvious reason for the surge in popularity of the sport.  All while Clark just smiles and lights them up game after game.

Funny thing is as far as I know she hasn’t said anything publically about them or anyone critical of her

Clark only saying positive things about them makes them even angrier. The "you aren't better than me!" voice in the heads of the small-minded can get very loud and hard to get around. As something of a jerk myself, I often make it a habit to publicly praise and thank someone who I know wants neither praise or gratitude from me.

Clark is destined for all-time greatness. It's been obvious before the year even started. Reese will be a footnote in Clark's career. Swoopes has already been forgotten. They are raging against that (relative) irrelevance.

Chicago Sky attendance increased from 6k to 7k.  I wonder how big of an impact did Clarks two games have on that number?

CC is on pace to break the wnba record for points created in a season. during her team’s five game winning streak she’s averaging 45 ppg created, a wnba record for any five game stretch.

This is all from one game 🤣

Caitlin Clark continues to shatter viewership records Last Sunday’s Fever-Wings game on NBA TV drew 652K viewers, surpassing all NBA games on the network last season The last NBA game with a larger audience on NBA TV was Heat-Bucks Game 5 in the 2023 playoffs She’s starting…

Clark is so ridiculously good and fun to watch. She plays a relentless, pressing, athletic game with unreal floor presence and the ability to make shots from anywhere.  Swoopes and the others are upset that she has done what they didn’t— make the WNBA into a nationally relevant phenom and not a niche interest.  Swoopes was great at the game but Clark is reinventing it. 

 

On a human level that feeling is understandable but it’s best not to show it so publicly.
