Ive never heard of her until this thread. I don’t follow sportsball of any flavor so it’s not surprising.

Who? A female basketball player? I don't care about men's basketball. Whatever. Some times killing your TV feels real good.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RealityCheck0311: What a stupid rant. I'm not a fan of women's basketball but her situation will completely change WNBA. She puts people in seats. Basically the women's equivalent of a Stephen Curry outside the arc. She can bang almost half court shots but also not some cocky "it's all about me." She has a bunch of assists too. A type of person that can read the game, offense and defense. Hate all you want but she has the NCAA all-time scoring record, men AND women. She beat out Pete "Pistol" Maravich!! A person they've made MOVIES about. Plus she's inspiring. She's not on social media being a jackass, flashing fancy watches/wealth, she just fucking plays basketball. It's a good thing for the sport and will inspire a lot of girls looking for a good "idol" type. She's going to fill seats in the WNBA and likely raise the bar. We're talking about a women's college athlete that is a rarity and we're seeing some special right now. Like a Mia Hamm for women's soccer.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0e7OcYphZMI think what you say may be true to an extent but a singular superstar isn’t going to be enough long term. People have short attention spans, and WNBA is just extremely boring compared to the NBA and even men’s college ball. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By boomeruni: I hear she drove a car once - the horror. She went to a Christian school(Dowling), is straight (is/was dating one of Franimals sons), was born a woman and has what seems to be a normal supportive family. She begs for fouls to much and the you can't see me bs, but she will likely beat 99% of the GD basement dwellers. She is good for the sport and what GD wants so we must hate her. Though we may get to see her play men if takes the Big 3 offer. What we hate is the obviously false statement that her scoring record is any way, shape, or form comparable to Maravich's. It's like people bragging about Hayley Wickenheiser's International and Olympic hockey scoring records and claiming she is the highest scoring player in Olympic hockey history. While true on its face such a statement omits a massive amount of context, such as the fact that women's Olympic hockey is so one-sided that there are only two truly competitive teams -- the US and Canada; everyone else in the world are patsies who lose by margins of 13-1 and 18-0. Incidentally, unlike Clark she got a chance to play against the boys and test her skills against real competition. She played 54 games for third-tier semi-pro men's teams in Finland and Sweden and scored...*drum roll*...three goals. |

My mother excitedly told me a couple days ago about Clark surpassing the men's ncaa scoring record officially making her the greatest college basketball player of all time, men or women. I just laughed and said "well then I guess her next move will be to the NBA where she'll make tens of millions of dollars. But we both know that's not gonna happen."
I get that she's exciting to watch (if you like basketball). But people are losing their minds and saying a lot of retarded shit about how good she is. She's a phenomenal female player. She would suck on a men's team. Hell, she'd get destroyed by lots of high school boys. That's just a fact. Doesn't mean you shouldn't like her. Serena Williams was a phenomenal female tennis player. She sucked compared to hundreds of men. Doesn't mean you can't be a fan. But don't be retarded and claim she's the greatest athlete of all time when she isn't even in the top 500 athletes playing tennis in her day. Enjoy the game and don't be retarded. That's the takeaway. |

Clark is great, plus just not just a scorer, she dishes the assists out as well.
Hopefully it’s a good game, really like Reese’s game as well. She is gritty and battles and has that winner attitude, heart of the LSU team. Plus she is fine as hell. Rather watch Reese battle the 6’7” woman from SC in the finals. |

I'm actually trying to watch the iowa/lsu game now. Got into it late. My daughter came in and asked me why I was watching this. I explained the rivalry etc. She couldn't stop commenting on how awkward the girls look. Calls them "nafy". My daughter is an athlete. Naf, in her world, means "non-athletic fuck."
I tend to agree. It's just super awkward. |

She's a hell of a shooter. Lots of 3-pointers while still moving. Had a great game last night against LSU with a record 41 points.
Best part? LSU gave up and Caitlin had the ball with seconds left in the game. She was under the goal all alone. Easily could have made it 43 points to get a better record but had the class to not take the shot. That told me everything I needed to know about her |

Of course it is very telling when Clark is at the peak of her career in college and her income will only decrease from here. She is a 1 time in a generation talent and the paychecks drop off when she goes off to the joke that is the wnba. She is going to kill it in the WNBA.
