Yes

very wekk

Yo of course

Yep. And worse, she embarrassed herself. I'm being real when I say I only know who Taurasi is because of Clark. However, I'm assured she is the "GOAT" of the WNBA. And like it or not, if you are recognized as one of the greats or one of the legends of anything, you owe that game or that league or that field respect for elevating you to that status. You are an ambassador of the game or field. And as such, you need to be humble to begin with. Look at Wayne Gretzky. For those of us hockey fans, we know damn well why he is known as The Great One. Why 99 is retired as a player number. The man was on another plane of existence with his rink IQ. Compared to his peers, he was actually small and kinda reidy (I say that while being virtually the same size as him at 6'1" and 180 lbs, but I was a mediocre high school player, and he is a living legend, so no disrespect to the Great One). Yet whenever he is asked about today's players, he always celebrates their game, he roots for his own records to be beaten, he is a model of the true sportsman and gentleman. It's not only his game that makes him the Great One. It's who he is on and off the ice. With Taurasi, the *bitterness* towards an aspiring rookie talent is nothing short of disgraceful. Trying to degrade Clark's skill, dismissing her achievements, and outright being petty and spiteful towards the new talent who is electrifying a life support league, Taurasi herself allegedly wants to build up into a respectable game. But with her behavior towards Clark, her naked envy and resentfulness is so blatant and grotesque, and coming from someone who is supposedly a "great," only further tarnishes the WNBA's already unfortunate reputation. With the way the league is acting, it becomes harder and harder to justify the expense to the NBA, and I think it's pretty obvious that if it wasn't the only women's pro basketball league, it would have folded long ago. But I think as someone who has been an athlete all throughout school, and is still athletic and fit at 40, the WNBA needs a wake-up call. Because this season, and in some other well-publicized instances in prior seasons, they are not setting a good example for young female athletes. They are not being sportswoman by demonstrating the basic tenets of good sportsmanship. Instead they are sadly acting out all the worst feminine stereotypes in a way that embarasses my women friends. No matter what you're doing, be it sport or career in any field... being an honorable person who can follow, lead, and inspire is what sports are meant to teach. And sadly, the WNBA is failing across the board. I hope they learn to do better.

@@yakhooves couldn't have said it better myself. I'm on the same boat when I say I only know Taurasi because of Clark.

She is so beautiful to me. Have a huge crush. I always liked bb. I have many celtics shirts. I went to school in US, and in Massachusetts. So i became hockey, which my husband played. And basketball fan which I would go to celtics games, and play at court with roommates. Love all the Massachusetts sports teams. Love CC’s character, and I honestly can understand the hate she gets. I have experienced it, and watched non confrontational peers experience it… stereotypes are more common in certain cultures.

@@sukaenacornelius9285you honestly find her attractive? I just don’t see it I guess. Maybe attractive for a wnba player but that’s not saying much😂

@@Romanus- Don't be jelly. CC is beautiful. She's the most attractive girl in the WNBA, easily.

⁠@@josephh891she’s definitely cute but I don’t think she’s the most attractive at least from the view of what everyday people think of when you say attractive or like hot. Cameron brink? Plum? Tea cooper for sure!

@@sukaenacornelius9285 is cornelius your maiden name or your husband's last name. it's my last name as well.

Diana Tuarashy

If you knew any thing about the WNBA, Diana plays for Phoenix not the Chicago SKY, WHO WAS THE HOME TEAM. Diana did not play in the sold out game. Henry, stick to watching pickle ball!

😂😂​@@vincentlipari3193

Yes, indeed !

@@vincentlipari3193 sober up and try making sense. Henry didn't mention the Chicago Sky or pickleball: you did. Taurasi has played in phx 20+ seasons where it finally sold out due to CC. Simple

Bad white girl actually bringing people to watch the WNBA. Bad Orange man. You get it.

Awful deep voice for a she...

And Griner was put in the male jail in russia

Yes and we should have traded for a marine who was in Russia longer, very sad

​@@fosterpyle-pc2esyou are 100 percent right.

Of all people, the US bails her out of Russia while there are many other US citizens who have been jailed for years with no hope of ever getting out. 👎

😂😂😂

Used to love Diana, now I see her as a bitter POS

👍👍🤣🤣

That is the real stat. Dang.

put more men in WNBA and even more will follow it.

Even more embarrassing it’s a tax write off so they’re always going to get the money from the men they berate

😂🤣😂

They say men have the ego, but i guess men were the one with the power to have ego. Now women are in power, and they have the exact same ego, but even more sassy with it. Of course not all men and all women but this is still fascinating.

Let’s not beat around the bush. Although it’s predominantly female hate, I break it down into two categories of why CC is getting so much hate from the majority of the WNBA. She’s white. She’s straight. And those two facts will make the majority of the WNBA resent and hate her. Downright hilarious, but if the tables were turned, CC would absolutely get crucified in the media.

Yeah... Because you must have class... Something DT and BG have zero concept of...

@@jahjoekaVery odd comment to criticize women, when it has no relevance to the original post at all 🤔 It sounds like you’re bitter

@@poindextertunes Defensive much? Women don't work in team activities as well as men and this has evolutionary roots and modern social roots. Men compete overtly, while women compete covertly. This is why women who hate each other will still act nice face to face - men typically don't do that and will avoid one another, or fight and then it's over. There's this myth that will never die about a female lead world being more peaceful - and yet today we have more women in leadership positions than ever before and look at the state of the world? How's the Matriarchy working out? It's not and everyone knows it. Western women are very much in need of a reality check as this entire sport is a male subsidy.

What they’ve always wanted is finally here…to be relevant. This is it..take advantage and grow the league! Yet here we are and they can’t accept it because of Caitlyns popularity. I’m so confused.

It’s really funny when Angela Read says shit like “people are here to watch me too!” Sorry girl. Your parents are the only ones who knew your name until you shoved CC. And even they had to check your birth certificate because they couldn’t remember if they named you Angela or Amy

Angel is a scub in comparison

She would have had one in the Phoenix game if her coach wasn’t so spiteful.

Triple

And that’s the most important part. They can talk all they want. CC backs it up.

I record the games to be sure I can watch over & over & over

SHe is aHE. Just listen to the tone of her MASCULINE VOICE

Tru dat.

😮🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂🎉😮

You have been missing out I have been watching the WNBA and women's ball since before you were born.

Diana Taurasi is 42 years old and still acts like a spoiled brat.

Parents did an amazing job raising her right. She’s a role model for everyone, not just women.

Exactly. She just needs someone willing to be her Malone, and good things start happening. Boston has started figuring that out, and good things are happening as a result.

Even if all she does is 3s, it's wild how people twist that into a bad thing. I've seen WNBA players airball layups LOL

Obviously she isn't all 3s. Not made at least at 2.9 3PG and 16.1 PPG. About 3 PPG at the FT line. Which is CRAZY as often as she is supposedly "multi-teamed" and "attacked" with what a casual observer of ridiculous CC would think is dozens of fouls per game.

Minus 3s and FTs she averages fewer than 2 points per game, lol.

@@deeremeyer1749 cool, how many assists, rebounds??? Interesting that you would leave out those key statistics 🙄

Boogie would win in a wheelchair

👍👍

Taurasi is possibly the best player in WNBA history.

@@marioargiropoulos7555oh well, wait until CCs career is said and done. Diana is not even gonna be an after thought. Never heard of her before and I don’t care what she’s regarded as in the league. Jealousy is an ugly emotion and there’s a lot of ugly women in this league

@@MrMarathonOG When Michael Jordan was asked who was more impressive between James Harden and Steph Curry, Jordan’s response was, “Six rings”. Do you think Michael Jordan is jealous of either of those guys? No. Michael is the greatest ever. He answered that way because that’s how true competitors are. And not a single person criticized Jordan for that response. His response was basically what Taurasi was saying. Taurasi didn’t insult her in any way. They were literally hugging and laughing together after their last game. This is a media manufactured feud. Thank God for players like Diana who aren’t just going to say the bland scripted bullshit response to each question. To say that Caitlin is being “bullied” is a slap in Caitlin’s face. To be bullied is to be victimized. She’s not a victim. Diana simply didn’t kiss her ass when asked about her. Good. And Caitlin could use that to fuel her. Again… Good! This is competition. The pearl clutching over Caitlin being some kind of victim is ridiculous. These are pro athletes. Caitlin is not a helpless little girl.

​@@MrMarathonOG That's dumb, jealously or emotion doesn't change facts. Taurasi was amazing in her prime, objectively it's going to be pretty damn hard to catch up to. Go look at a highlights video if you've never seen her. Being able to sell out crowds doesn't make Caitlin better than her peers, as of now she's still mostly potential. There's a lot more "boring" players (aside from DT, who was not) that are incredibly effective at winning in the WNBA.

A'ja Wilson does and she destroyed Clark twice.

@@Davelove. LMAO -- Not TWO whole times.... Seriously?!?!

@stephenedelmann2665 ,they played twice and A'ja Wilson destroyed. In Tuesday game,Kelsey Plum guarded Clark and scored 34pts on Clark and Clark only scored 3pts. Every time Plum scored,Clark put her head down in defeat. She knew Plum obliterated her. And A'ja Wilson had 28pts. Clark was standing around on the court looking lost and confused. She never faced nothing like that. Wilson backed up what she said about Clark but the media is dead silent on what happened to Clark.

@@Davelove. LOL -- And we'll see exactly how that average plays out over time, won't we??? But then again, you'll probably be too ashamed to even reply at that point. Tick tock, tick tock........

Taurassi is jealous! This is so obvious!

Because you are hallucinating

Typical woman behavior

Really? I feel like it happens a lot. Especially for players who are popular right out of the gate like Jordan and Lebron

women tear down their own...it is pathetic

The Refs ad WOKE hires - ability to do a fair job of refing is questionable. Owners to take a serious look at the quality of their Refs.

And a wonderful role model for girls coming up!!

💯

Hope it was a tasty Donut.

Sorry but u say lie..

Make sure you get a cup of Joe with tht donut no sugar 😂😂

Stop the glazing

She should have went 3 on 3

Where is she gonna go if not the WNBA

@@BearTraxe exactly , a preposterous statement , thx Bear,

The NBA does.

Um, "basketball history" is a huge huge stretch. As far as WNBA goes, yes, but she galaxies away from having the love that players like MJ and Kobe have. Calm down there.

@@FallouFitness_NattyEdition ok woman’s basketball history.

@@luisrobles0453 That I agree with 100%

this is all fiction. I recommend you watch her interview clip in full. Her whole point was that people underestimate how much more difficult the WNBA is than the NCAAW. And that some folks games don't translate as well. Her conclusion was that folks are going to have to be patient. And she was absolutely correct in the case of Caitlin. She is playing well, but nowhere near as dominant as she was in college. And she was right about her style not translating immediately. Those who explode in their rookie year rely upon strength and quickness. Caitlin's game is more finesse. And she has struggled with the increased speed, size, and strength of defenders. I believe in CC, because she's smart, talented, and (most importantly) driven. DT is plain spoken and blunt, which isn't everyone's cup of tea. She's also in the top 3 of women to ever play hoops. Maybe even the top 1. And she was 100% correct.

@@mezzbyeah, Taurasi is a professional competitor, she’s not going to sing the praises of an unproven rookie in her translation from college to pro. The same thing happened with Wemby. I admire Caitlyn’s toughness in playing and dealing with the stress because her fans are the wimpiest and can’t take any criticism or level expectation of her.

The United States didn't want to show the international community that white racism popularity can promote a undeserving player to the Olympics. The majority of the world are people of color. Russia and China and in Africa pointing out United States racism and other flaws daily. Clark is a basketball turnover machine. But the white controlled media ignores this. Martin Luther King in the last book he wrote before he was assassinated " Where Do We Go From Here?" "Chaos Or Community?" explains how America justifies its subtle racism.. Like Jill Biden suggesting that Caitlin Clark team that lost the college basketball National championship be also invited to the Whitehouse. I have more racism receipts that Caitlin Clark supporters have shown. But my hands would fall of typing all of these things

@@mezzb it was not what she said in the interview , it was how she said , very snarky , smug . you could tell bird did not agree with her but was to big a chicken shit to say anything .

@@0498kizerb nah, Wemby been very praised by the male players, and also Caitlin also been very praised by the male players, since college. I think it's very clear the jealousy and bitterness in a lot of the women's takes on Caitlin

Women are catty to be sure! They are never happy.

Is for real me too

Couldn't believe it myself

Me too

Magic & Bird did the real work. MJ didn’t do 💩 until his 7th year in the league.

​@@ezsmith3765 You got that right. Any legit basketball fan knows that Magic, Bird, and Isaiah resurrected the NBA. Whereas anyone claiming it was MJ are dilettantes. Besides, I'm not sure if that was year 7, but MJ only made his mark after the bad boys passed their prime.

@@ezsmith3765 How many Converse shoes did Magic and Bird sell those years? Michael Jordan brought in the fans and made the NBA popular in the streets. The Air Jordan 3 with Mars Blackmon was iconic.

@@kujichaguliaself-determina7388 in his rookie year? dont think so

@@Loots1 pretty sure i got my first pair of jordans white net on red in 87 or 88, so year 2 or 3 and they were getting stolen off peoples feet

Stop it. The WNBA is still super boring. If she wasn't white most of you folks wouldn't care. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/opacmNCdyLjTiIU.html

She better be careful or she will regret it.

EXACTLY!!!

What jealousy? What are you even talking about? Did I miss something? Or is this all about the one comment she made while Clark was in college? Which wasn’t insulting in any way whatsoever.

@@marioargiropoulos7555were you not watching the video

Same, I like Caneron Brink tho. Sux she's hurt 😢

and don't forget the fake ass drama invented by the media

With more fans attending WNBA than men's games, but ok derp.

I was excited at first, but as it's turning out, the WNBA is still unwatchable.

Taurasie played with U Conn in college, take her off the roster U Conn could have conceivably still won. Take CC of her college team and they would never stand a chance.

@@jsholmes03Yep. Take CC off Iowa and they’re a bubble team, maybe slightly better.

Girl, you do know nothing about basketball if you never heard about Diana, stick to jumping rope!!!

And Yes 17,000 seen tht😂

Yeah before her most people could only name Griner and that's because she was arrested in Russia not for anything on the court.

Have you watched the last 4 Olympic games sir, you must be living on another planet. The whole world knows this players!

⁠@@MakerInMotion ye i knew griner because she challenged demarcus but catlin is the reason i know more wnba players

You're delusional to a severe extreme. Just because you never had a reason to watch doesn't mean others had no reason to watch. I've been a fan of the W since 1996-1997. There are many notable stars that have come and gone. You better pay homage to Cynthia Cooper, Sheryl Swoopes, Dawn Staley, Teresa Weatherspoon, Lisa Leslie, Sue Bird, Rebecca Lobo, Maya Moore, Saudia Roundtree, Simone Augustus, and many others. We all know why many people are fascinated with Caitlin Clark and brands smell money.

Miya Moore (I think I spelled that wrong tho). She was the GOAT in women's bball, but I forsee C.C. taking over that role of GOAT very soon, she's a beast.

The other rookies aren't selling out stadiums. Only CC is changing anything, and when she's gone...well the wnba best get smarter than they have been.

Don't try to lump Angel Reese in with Caitlin Clark. Don't.

Once the heat from this narrative dies down, attendance will fall back to empty arenas.

@@powerface71 I disagree. CC will sell out every venue she plays. Once she is gone or injured, things will return to normal. It's not that the wnba has new fans...CC has the fans and they will follow her like a swifty to an after concert party.

@@powerface71 I disagree. The wnba doesn't have new fans, CC does, and she will sell out the venues. Her fans will follow her around like a swifty going to an after-concert party. If CC gets hurt or isn't playing, then things will go back to normal, and again, nobody will care about the wnba. At least that's what I think.

She could have but she was a team player. What was the % of shots Caitlin took, almost 60% more then Diana and DIANA % of making those shots was much higher than Caitlin's.

@@vincentlipari3193 I will accept your numbers are correct. But that emphasizes MY point that Taurasi was a member of a much more talented team and she was but one component of those winning years. So she did not have to work as much for that UConn team to win. Conversely, Caitlin's Iowa team is not as talented as UConn's so she bore a greater load to CARRY her team into the play-offs. So back to my original question - If Caitlin had played in UConn back then would she also have been the recipient of 3 championships? I believe YES. Vice versa, if Taurasi were in that Iowa team, would she single-handedly have dragged Iowa into the championship games? I believe NO.

Taurasi also benefited from having one of the all-time great head coaches, not only coaching her up, but also coaching-up all of the teammates around her.

@@vincentlipari3193 This is proving the point the original poster was making. DT never had to carry even close to as hard while winning those championships.

@@vincentlipari3193its wild to me that someone would hate on a young woman they don’t even know 😂

Maybe when she saw the other player go down, she was more concerned for her well-being than the shot going in? Wouldn't surprise me seeing the kind of person CC is.

Yeah airball cancels it out

@@stevejones8163 no matter what your "maybes" might be, it still goes down in the books as an Error on Defense and an Error on Offense. I stand by my 1st comment

@briefcaseblues6061 I'm completely sure that you do. After all, everyone is a basketball guru.

@@stevejones8163 it's not about basketball. It's about knowing how stats and books are kept. Duh

Same

I've got no idea how I ended up here but if this is how good it gets....I ain't coming back. CC dropped that girl on the floor yet her attempt didn't even hit the rim. That's akin to taking a shot on goal in football and the ball going out for a throw in.

@@TheRealPureBloodterrible analogy. don’t let the door hit you

That's the best take I have seen in ...ever!!
