The WNBA is about to have some mega stars soon.
They better promote these athletes correctly.

Shaq! You and me both, didn't want the women's season to end!!😱💚🍀

I have a lot of respect for Shaq. He's a good man. Period.

2 years ago, I saw Clark play. Then I saw Angel, Aaliyah Boston, then Paige. I told a male friend about Clark and Angel possibly being the next Magic /Bird to take the WNBA to the next level. Dude laughed at me. During the women's final 4 this dude ordered a Clark 22 jersey. If you're a sports fan you love great competition. These young women have proven they have the skills to attract basketball fans of every demographic. Salute ladies.

Shaq & Barkley know how to give the viewing audience what they want. they want good insights but they also want to have FUN. That is what makes them so Good, IMO

Kudos to Shaq and Charles for their support for the women's game! 👏

Caitlin is a great player, and most specially, no DRAMA. She takes her win and losses with humility.

Caitlin Clark has really changed my outlook on women's basketball. Until recently, it has been boring and about as exciting as watching high school skill level games. Clark is all around athletic player, she's got great moves and shot moves.

Caitlin Clark set Every college basketball record, men or women. Caitlin Clark scores routinely from distances that others cannot. Caitlin Clark, and her teammates, were playing for a NATIONAL championship, against long time powerhouse programs like South Carolina, LSU, U Conn. All the others are playing for powerhouse programs, surrounded by highly recruited players.

At last Gayle lets the guest talk without interrupting, good thing!

[richardstaples]

It'll ne hard to forget Angel Reese cheering Carter's dirty hit on Caitlyn Clark.

[Wjohnson]

Catlin and JuJu are generational. I will say it since nobody else will. Catlin, being white and dominating like a beast, has created envy and admiration across many lines. There goes viewership. JuJu is special.

[joeydmy.gumbadi]

You gotta just absolutely love The Shac

[StopflossingTV]

God knew what he was doing could you imagine Charles Barkley with a championship that dudes mouth would be so crazy lmao

[robp]

Shaq and great together, love the banter and stories !!!

[rachelharas]

Shaq and Charles are both such good guys it brings me to tears. So genuine.

I started enjoying women ball last season, the championship game. Then I started watching Angel Reese on YouTube a little, I found her entertaining. Then I would look at Caitlin more. So it was social media that played a big part in keeping my interest in women balling.

[edwhite]

I love the relationship charles and Shaq have. They are like brothers and the moms are like sisters

[Kenjardo]

I’m watching from Jamaican and I too followed women’s college basketball more than the men’s game in 2024. I share Shaq’s sentiments it started with Reese vs Clark in 2023.

What's NOT being said...
1) Caitlin Clark set a new WNBA record for the fastest player ever to reach 200 points, 75 rebounds, and 75 assists
2) Her 25million Nike deal is the REAL reason they are hating...cause even 15 year veterans in WNBA need to get jobs in the off-season
its ALL about the money 💰💰💰 Caitlin got it, Angel DIDN'T, or anyone else either 💰💰💰
