You can go ahead and recognize and thank Caitlin Clark for the attention and growth. No other reason for it.

[Lstanfield]

Caitlin’s maturity in handling being a celebrity and doing interviews and the way she carries herself in general is a testament to her upbringing and faith. She is wildly successful and idolized by so many because she represents much more than a sport or a team.

Its Clark ERA! One of her fan around the world. Global STar . Philippines

[shoofly]

Would've loved a question about why Lin didn't make a trade to move players who don't fit & get some who do. The Lynx did.

[robh]

I wish CC could get free of the GM and coach and reach her full potential.

[paulchez]

I could be real and make a comment about the team, but I won't because I love The Fever and our starting 3 ! ❤

Lin Dunn and Christie Sides have done a tremendous job building and coaching the Fever!! Christie Sides is the perfect coach for the team and Caitlin Clark as we have seen in the results.

[bristolguy]

Lin Dunn's management along with Christie Sides Coaching is working for the Fever. They have handled the Caitlin Clark situation very well and have the whole team playing well together. They are now above 500 for the first time since 2019. They are in 6th place overall and only 2 games behind 5th place Seattle with a 6 game home stretch coming!!

Christie Sides is the WNBA Coach of the Month. As a player, Sides played her first two college seasons at Ole Miss for Hall of Fame coach Van Chancellor and helped the Rebels to a 34-22 record. She transferred to Louisiana Tech and finished her playing career for fellow Hall of Fame coach Leon Barmore. Sides helped the Lady Techsters to a 61-6 record in two seasons, including a trip to the 1999 Final Four. She still holds the career record at Tech for 3-point field goal percentage (.448).

I'm tired of hearing their young. Anything to take the focus off the bad coaching and management. Give me a break! Gaslighting at its finest.

[zealazax]

Fever players weren't the problem. The coach and GM are the problem or less they would have made the playoffs last season

[TonyGalla-kwhw]

Well, I see a GM who sees CC as the superstar she is and recognizes her talent. But she isn't giving credit to CC in bringing the tremendous growth of the W, or the soldout stadiums, or the international viewership, ir the millions of new fans all due to CC. She is never going to publicly say what she knows are the issues that Fevers franchise need to address. She is old school, and old school does have it's place. What concearns me is she never brought up the violence done to CC by thugs on court, or those same thugs contuniously sucker punching someone in a recent game, or games to come.

Lin Dunn kicked our butts in 2012 finals. The Lynx had a really good team too. Ill always remember a mike catching Lin saying that the refs " had their undies in a bunch " 😅😅

[RobertDalimonte-ewrl]

Everything that Lynn Dunn said about Caitlin Clark, being highly competitive, a phenomenal athletic with unprecedented skills, especially as a 22 year old rookie, about Caitlin Clark's being the epitome of professionalism and class, both on and off the court, is absolutely true! Caitlin Clark's making history every game she plays, every time she's ever dealt with both the media, and every time she's interacted with the public!! Literally loved and admired by millions of fans, both from America, and from all around the whole world!!

[PFlow]

Nice interview... much improved... Loved the personal story...

[oldcremona]

Go Fever! They are America's Team right now.

[bruceeaton]

Historically, CC has always played at and brought her teammates to a much higher level throughout tournament playoffs. Look out Linn Dunn, CC could potentially retire you with a championship this very year. 😳😲

[patrickscopas]

Lynn Dunn is incompetent as a GM. For the love of God, get a real GM and coach in here.

[WorldBeater]

Lin Dunne has put together a really good team. A.Boston, Clark, Mitchell, Lexi, Katie Lou, Dondas, Smith, Temi. Fever have some good players. Lin deserves some credit for the rebuild. Fever will likely be a top 5 team next year

[Joplin]

Ask the GM if they're going to sign KM
