Ya’ll striving so hard to not give a white kid credit. It’s pathetic. Sometimes the truth is just the truth. Not everything is a DEI initiative.

[samreed]

I can’t stand people who are claiming Angel Reese isn’t a huge deal also. Angel was a big deal prior to the NCAA championship game and that moment propelled them both. Angel has tons of fans and supporters also. Just because you guys only like Caitlin and are only seeing things about Caitlin doesn’t mean Angel isn’t a huge deal and bringing in big crowds. Like think critically (which I know is hard for some of you to do)

[racebannon]

No, it's Clark who is bringing the crowds. Without her, the crowds and viewership wouldn't be the same.

[darrellwinston]

Yeah..but they need at least 3 people on Angel to stop her from getting rebounds and shots in the paint

[GreaterSociety]

Stop it. Angel reese has nothing to do with this

Thus is all cC

[b.f.l]

Angel Reese only has her family watching. She is the same old can't dribble, can't shoot, can't jump, can't pass that's been in the WNBA for 25 years and nobody watched.

[MrSoulauctioneer]

after 26 games, she is a mere 220 points short of A'ja Wilson's rookie points, she's 11th for rookies ppg all time. I keep the rookie records page open. I think you look at those stats, Clark dominates, a strong presence in multiple skills, Reese has rebounds. its not even close.

[TheNifster]

Correction: Caitlin Clark causes RECORD BREAKING viewership

[ehsyqrn]

I still think the quality of the refs in the WNBA or horrible versus the NBA. The woman are cursing them out. 🤣🤣

[timothycheuvront]

Clark...NOT Reece is the sole reason for increase in viewers. No one likes to watch someone repeatedly miss easy layups just to pad a rebound stat.

[geminizx]

why they are still tagging reese name?, CC is the only reason for the attendance record, CC dont need reese to get people to watch the wnba, just look at the attendance when reese is not playing CC, and CC can fill up arena no matter who her team plays.

[KyngDevon]

I'm the caller you guys played today and I'm so thankful to be a small part of the show!

I've been watching/listening for quite some time and I don't know when I started exactly but I haven't missed an episode since.

Thanks for all the great content you provide and I'm looking forward to seeing the continued growth!

[dennislewis]

I don't watch because of Angel Reese. I watch because of Catlin. You can't be a good center missing lay ups.

[jordanapolis]

19 assists, and without both teams conspiring to give her the record

[jordanapolis]

Clark - 445 points, 213 assists, 151 rebounds, 38 steals, 22 blocks 40.5% shooting (mostly deep 3 range)
Reese - 313 points, 41 assists, 276 rebounds, 34 steals, 10 blocks, 40.2% shooting (mostly from under rim)

ROTY a real nailbiter for sure

[davidweiss]

Reese doesn't even fill their small stadium for games not against the Fever. Good luck with that storyline that Angel is causing record viewership. Your racial bias is showing.

[SirButtah]

Sky vs Liberty broke an attendance record. The numbers support Reese being a huge draw as well as Caitlin. Give the lady her due. All that hatred is bad for you.

Also can't overlook the league has been growing over the previous few seasons, and ready to pop. The rookies came in and blew it out of the water, but its been years in the making. Paige and JuJu will also push the league along with the two expansion teams in Canada and Cisco.

Finally seeing the WNBA thriving, and I love it. Been watching since the inaugural season in 1997.

[cybersapien]

This was never a ROTY race. It's Clark and everybody else.

[julianbashir]

Stop trying to throw Reese in there. Clark should talk to Ice Cube and start their own women's league. The lesbians wanted her to fail from the start.

[lateiro]

Shoutout to Angel Reese & The Chicago Sky.. only reason why I started watching the WNBA & I'm enjoying it, honestly!
