Caitlyn came in and made the worst team a playoff team, and one of the top 4 teams post olympic break. And she didn't do it by just scoring a ton of points. She made everyone around her better. The definition of MVP.

[SojiFro_]

- Top 10 in scoring
- Leads the league in assists
- Leads the league in points scored/assisted
- Leads all guards in blocks and rebounds
- First rookie to record a triple dub
- Fastest player in WNBA history to reach 100 three-pointers in a season

But Gil says she’s not dominant because she’s not averaging 30?

😂

finally a relevant channel to talk about this, bless coach

[alexgummer]

It's hilarious they brag about the physicality of the league and how tough it is, yet give a technical for slapping the matte. But throwing to the ground and bashing in the head isn't disrespectful to the game. Ridiculous.

[leonciomendezdy]

Remember when a few weeks ago, people actually said Rookie of the Year was a race between Angel Reese and CC? What a hilarous joke 😂😂😂😂

[cocopuffz]

I like Rashad McCants come back to Gil and Swoops. He said "if she's not a dominant 2 guard... who is?" Gil and Swoops were speechless. CC numbers speak for themselves. Gil is literally a fool for his recent takes on a lot of things.

So many WNBA players just straight up hating on her game and for what reason? They act like they don't believe the game can be elevated or even worse do they not want the league to get better? I guess they prefer looking foolish rather than celebrating Caitlin's talent and team success. Great video coach!

[colewrld]

Its insane how clark came in and immediately became a top 3 player lol shows how luke warm the comp was overall. These new players coming in are gonna make the wnba successful 🔥

She’s raised the bar for WNBA players. I’m hoping this encourages future players to put in those extra hours of work. It’s a huge win for not just the Indiana Fever but for the future of the WNBA.

[blue-phoenix]

Caitlin Clark single handedly saving the WNBA and increasing *EVERYONE'S* salaries. These WNBA players hating on her are so jealous and ungrateful.

[johnreesekl]

Coach Nick is a fan. And, so am I! I don't want to get into the hair slicing and nit picking..but for me, without hesitation, she is a top five WNBA player RIGHT NOW. What she brings to the game is transcendental. As much love basketball and have tried to, I have never watched as much WNBA as I have this season--by a country mile. I don't know how many players you could put on the Indiana Fever and get the same results? 1? 2? None? I don't know, but not many. I think this was just the tip of the Clark Effect iceberg. Next year, she is gonna own the league, straight up!

If you want to mess around with stats.... there were 32 flagrant fouls in the 240 games of the WNBA (i.e. 1 per 8 games, a very low number, in my opinion. Olympics was about 1/3 games for unsportsmanlike).
6 of them were on CC, so she got 19% of the flagrant fouls. (Edited: had 30 and 5, which was old data)

[SeanRoland-rq]

What has been truly chefs kiss on top of such an amazing rookie season is how she has brushed off all the hate and just done her thing. Completely unfazed by the haters. Love it!

[jeverettrulz]

Swoopes showed her bias. We all know why Sheryl feels that way. Geno is just against her because she didn't go to UCONN.

[SpaceKarenMonkeyKiller]

This is why you NEED to make more videos. After all these years you are STILL the highest quality basketball channel out there. This video is seriously a masterpiece take down of all the hate CC has been getting. Nobody's done it better than you.

[awdrpepper]

I'm glad you highlighted Geno's comments. You can kind of understand Swoopes' negativity - it's petty and immature; but you can understand it. Geno has no excuse... what a complete fool.

[med]

Loved it when she asked the fans
“did that go in” lol

[steverliu]

Coach Nick, giving CC her deserved flowers! 💐 I loved it when you said “2-woman game”! 🔥CC is special and the hate and jealousy needs to be exposed and left behind.

[an]

Man, I want CC to take a one year break from the WNBA so that the other players/women realize how irrelevant they are without her 😂

[yearprocess.]

Caitlin Clark is one of the best basketball players ⛹️‍♀️ ever!! Proud to share same birthday 🎂 January 22!! Let’s get it CC, your the GOAT 🐐.
