No one told me that Taurasi won 3 championships all by herself. In that case, I'm not mad anymore that Caitlin was not invited to play in the Olympics. Damn, why were the other 11 players invited? Taurasi can win gold all by herself.

[sulleys]

DT had great Vets welcoming her to the league and showing her the ropes. Caitlin's welcome to the league was a series of cheap shots.

[drunknmasta]

After she won 3 ? What about the rest of the team

[MaymeIke]

“How did you handle it, Diana?” Dumb question because Clark’s “it” is decidedly different from Diana’s. A LOT of people are only now meeting Diana Taurasi…due entirely to Clark’s “it.”

[krisu]

LOL 41 year old giving you answer like this? Sad and petty

[neoxsupreme]

Taurasi really had to get that comment in : "After I won three national championships in a row." 🙄 I wouldn't be surprised if she had a part in getting into the ears of the selection committee about excluding Clark from the roster.

[zocsdyg]

So sad.
She said that she neeed the older teammates to help her on her first Olympic team.

Who is not helping Catlin now?
Please look in the mirror

Clark's stats are better than Taurasi's and certainly better than Griner's or Gray's. Clark is also the most double-teamed player in the WNBA, playing on the worst team in the WNBA, coming off a hard NCAA season, and playing for a coach that plays a plodding style, AND she is still successful in spite of all this! All this narrative that she isn't one of the top 12 players is utter baloney. And now that the "not good enough" narrative has been shown to be nonsense, they are floating a new narrative, "it's not good for Caitlin". Puhlease! The selection committee has two established Caitlin Clark haters on it, Dawn Stahley and Seimone Augustus and a coach who has nixed Clark as a condition of her position: Cheryl Reeves.

That's why Caitlin Clark needs to be on this team the same way you watch Lisa Leslie, Sheryl swoopes and Tina Thompson why can't you do the same for Caitlin Clark

[robertward]

How arrogant is she to make sure all of us know that she alone won those three national championships.

[louspring]

Which WNBA player has reached 200 points and 75 dimes the fastest, while being, full court, double teamed every step of the way? Here is a hint, her initials are CC.

[hermanalcaraz]

Can’t wait for the day CC breaks all of DT WNBA records 😂😂

[JaShoeWaULOTS]

Diana Tarasi was selected as a “rookie” to the USA Woman’s Olympic team.

Diana Talarsi is asked a few questions by reporter.

Question for DT: Didn’t you make the USA Women’s Olympic team right out of college?

DT’s response ——-yeahhh.. I also had women’s NCAA National Championships that I won…

DT’s facial expression changes to a condescending smirk as she finishes responding to that question…(you can tell that DT felt agitated with her situation bein compared to CC’s..)

DT also states later in convo——-I had multiple WNBA legends that took her under their wing immediately. She also says College basketball is so different that WNBA. Once your learn the steps and rhythm, have a skillset that is superior to everyone else everything will fall in place……

basically she feel more she’s more entitled than CC. For the reason of her winning 3 national championships on stacked College team. That pretty much sums up the hate in a nutshell..

[ryansuck]

Lol. She went to UConn who was winning every year and it wasn’t even close. Caitlin went to Iowa who hardly made the ncaa tourney before she got there and brought them to natty twice.

[addeigloriam]

Taurasi’s been really good but let’s not pretend at 41 she’s better than CC. Taurasi played on a UConn team full of 5 star bball recruits. That doesn’t compare to taking an annually below average Iowa team, literally putting it on your back, and taking it to two straight title shots. I’m sorry to the rest of these sad sacks that they don’t bring the massive economy Clark does but thems the breaks. DT had about 87 seasons to create this buzz and she didn’t. Caitlin’s a class act. She’ll allow other players to basque in her shadow.

[zealazax]

Caitlin Clark broke 45 records and didn't do it by playing on a stacked roster like Breanna Stewart or Diana Turasi. So the championship argument is bullshit.

[kamau]

If a team wins but nobody was watching does it make a sound?

[tomshippoli]

Diana taurasi doesn't want Caitlin clark finding out her teammate is a man in the locker room!

[ForHim_orAgainstHim]

Clark hit 7 3’s in a game and shoots from the logo a lot and is statistically the best player on her team….getting a bunch of deals because of her unique skill…..If that’s not enough…..idk what is

[Bronxk]

Yeah dt had the vets to look out for her n take her under the wing now that its her time to be a vet for cc n instead its all hate n jealousy for no reason dt a legend but on her way out she showing how petty she is
