Jordan took the NBA to the next level !! CC is taking the WNBA to the next level !!

No comparison Pls. We are only watching WNBA because of Caitlin Clark #22 from the Philippines 🇵🇭

CC is a legend in the making!! It is a joy watching her. I had never watched a wnba game before her

No matter who they give the trophy to, Caitlin Clark IS the real WNBA MVP. Her impact has been felt all over world.

Not even a cowbell can cure the city's fever.

The only reason I care about the WNBA is Kaitlyn Clark I don’t care about any of the other players or the sport but I enjoy watching her team. It’s like watching Kobe.

What the hell does Angel Reese have to do with business booming in Indiana?

Sade' hit single says it all : ( Smooth Operator )😊

The fact that Clark and the Fever are having such an impact on downtown Indianapolis says more about downtown Indianapolis than it does about the Fever.

And to think just 1 year ago i couldn't name a single wnba player.

For a basketball player to greatly impact a struggling sports league & the city she plays in during inflation/these hard economics times is extraordinarily impressive & a very ultra rare thing. CC is a once in a lifefime player & person to have that kind of impact.

You guys should do a cost analysis segment....one segment purely on hotels....one strictly on bars. Even the airport probably has a 5-percent gain.

No need to mention the other rookies' names, especially in Indy.

Clark not only makes her team better, but her city better. Angel reese (queen butterface) is so focused on getting her own rebounds.

As someone from Michigan. It’s sad because I used to stay in downtown Indy here and there with my dad becasue he’d literally fly there every week for personal business so I’d go with him once in a while. He’d always call it his second home. He’d always stay at the Omni down the street from the arena but he doesn’t go anymore 😢 we always watch Clark and I always mention how it’s a bummer he ain’t going there because he’d no doubt would be going to games all the time. I always say man, the hype for Clark in Indiana is crazy! We’ll come back and visit soon hopefully.
