If Caitlin ain't complaining, why is everyone else?

The second Reese did that, I knew this was going to happen. Honestly, I thought when Clark did it, it was a little much, but the polar opposite reactions was expected and disgusting. People can say "I'm not racist" all they want, but the actions are very telling.

The most important thing happened after the game, BOTH LADIES SHOWED RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER! Both gave each other props and didn't carry on trash talking! Game recognize game. Nuff said!

It's either ALL ok or NOT ok....brilliantly said...and should be APPLIED to EVERYTHING....

This coming from the guy that said Shohei Ohtani was too Asian to represent the MLB

She definitely saw Angel Reese, she pretended not to... 😂😂😂😂

We all know the truth. One group in America is not like the others.

I agree it's either all ok or none of it is. The girl was doing it through the whole tournament and everyone was ok with it. But once the other girl did it back than it was an issue. If you dish it out you have to be ready to take it

It’s frustrating how we had this great game between the 2 future faces of women’s basketball and this is the only talking point of it all

It's blown up because Reese followed Clarke around AFTER THE GAME WAS OVER and kept taunting her. That's OK cause Clarke DESTROYED them , and took it to UCON

Caitlin Clark, remember one thing for sure, you can choose your taunting action, but you can't choose your consequences to your taunting.

Y'all are being REAL.......... Men did all this in their game and we LOVED IT.........

Bird vs. magic female version, these two greats will meet many times professionally.

Long story short: the black dude loves how the white girl plays, but as a black man he cannot let an opportunity to whine slide past him.

LOL Angel Reese did Exactly Right !!! 😂😂😂

1000% agree with your take. Both women did nothing wrong and this was TOTALLY social media driven. I can’t stand how social media has been injected into sports.

This aged well for Caitlin 🫣

We need to stop shitting on them for trash talk. They are great for women's sports. This is what their game has been missing villains and rivalries. And they aren't just loud mouths they are beasts. I love it.

The fact that this is being discussed as two different view points just says a lot about the two different views of this country - Basketball 🏀 -seriously- Dam if you do , Dam if you don’t --either way -someone will disagree/disapprove or “how dare you !” then “ oh it’s no big deal “.

Pay back is something else!

Look at what football players do and say... everyone loves it black or white when men do it. Let the women express themselves in the moments. They both showed respect for each other after the game in interviews when out of the heat of the moment too.

“It’s cool when they do it, it’s a problem when I do it , fuck em” Fynesse 2x

There's NO RULES in trash talking. 🤣

“Doing the Cena. I ain’t here” 😂😂😂😂

Excellent non biased commentary 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾so I subscribed ❤& liked👍🏾

FACTS!!!💯 Congrats LSU Champions🥳🏀🏆

This is what their sport needs

When you publicly taunt another player and then get sent home by that player you look like you can't back up your smack.

I just came here to voice a concern. How come nobody give Tony yayo of G-unit his credit for the move?!😂 Edit: the only person was Cena himself🤣

Caitlin Clark STARTED what she received!

To me it's like this. In the heat of a game, players talk trash. All part of the game. All is good. Give as good as you get. But when the final buzzer goes off, the game is over. One team will lose, one will win. This is where character and sportsmanship comes in to play. Winners should be gratious to the losers. The same as they would want to be treated when they lose. This is where Angel Reese crossed the line. Following around a player who just lost the game and taunting her incessantly is bad sportsmanship. A sign of low moral character. No way around it. IMHO.

During the game and after the game is what makes it different. Not race.

Good fair video . thanks bro. And thanks to all the teams for a great Tournament. Congratulations LSU.

One girl did the gesture in the heat of the moment as the game was happening. Forgivable. One girl did the gesture repeatedly after her team won and continued taunting the first girl with it following her around. Classless and bad sportsmanship. No racism needed to point out these facts.

You get what you give. We can either take the high road or not and sometimes we fall short but I don't think either players should get blow black.

What goes around comes back around; don't be surprised when it happens

Caitlin started it in the semifinals against Sout Carolina, LSU finished it in the finals. As much as I enjoyed Caitlin’s 41 point masterpiece against SC, I tbukught she was a little disrespectful, so I enjoyed LSU not only shoving it down her throat, but telling all of us before the game that they were not going to allow what happened to SC, happen to thrm. These are grown women, not elementary school girls. It’s competitive, especially with D1 superior athletes.

Nah. You trash talk during the game, then the sportsmanship goes up a level when the game is done. UFC fighters pretend to hate each other but when the match is done, there's mutual respect. It's no big deal but the two actions are different.

Reese turned it from a competitive thing into a race thing. That’s the HUGE difference

This was a gesture of hatred in public, and black people are all saying- "you go girl!"

Let the kids have fun. Every time an adult gets in between things get blown out of proportion

Has Stephen A ever played competitive/organized sports lol? Talk about not getting it at all. LSU player jealous C Clark got so much attention and is a much better player. Not at all about race Steve, though painfully easy to play that card.

Clark scored 40and sent her home with a weaker squad and she didn't cry when she lost last year like Reece did

Refs T’d up Clark for tossing the ball, but not Reese for taunting?

Caitlin is lying...she has two faces one for the cameras and one for the mirror... Caitlin ain't classy... she's messy... Caitlin started all this mess...🙃

And Caitlin will still be remembered in 10 plus years and Reese will be irrelevant and forgotten 😂😂

People stick their hand in your face so you cannot see the basket to distract you! CC just wanted the ref to see they were putting a hand in her face. CC was not being disrespectful, she was making a point, while Angel was being disrespectful! I do not know if Angel was being a jerk or she misinterpreted what CC was complaining about? Being competitive can bring out the best and worst of our selves! Black or white, I do not care, I am here for the game not the race card! Anyone that gets into the race card is locked into the demons of the past! Their are more slaves alive today than were ever alive in the past!

I think people just didn’t like how Angel chased her around the court to rub it in her face. If that had been two guys they probably would’ve been fighting. Clark handled it well.

What goes around comes around 😅

Angel crying after iowa beat them 😂😂😂😂

The way they keep talking about Clarke, just goes to show how much space she has took up in their heads lol.....They make it seem as though they were only playing against Clarke and not a team. Clarke didn't react because she did the same thing and the competitive banter is part of the sport. Listening to Clarke's interview on ESPN made me like her even more not just as a player but as an individual. Her response to the whole white house invite was pure class.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 well put

Caitlin is as emotionally tough and balanced asAngel is. Competition brings out a brute in everyone.💫✨

She got her revenge and I love it

“MY SISTA!!” If whites started referring to other whites as sista/brutha this guy would have a TOTAL EPIC MELTDOWN!!!

It’s not the same thing when you follow her around after the game is over.

2 wrongs don't make a right!

@:43 I agree with this dude.

Bruh they pulled the race card 😂😂😂 They’re just being competitive Congrats LSU they can’t see them lol

Clark didn’t seem bothered.

did Clark taunt her... no did she taunt her in the game nope.. stop playing this game.. be in the moment

CC showed so much class! She has a fan here! When people act ghetto, they lost me! I do not want like people being disrespectful!

Reese's actions would have been a nothing burger if she had NOT followed Clark around doing the taunting. She did not just "do the thing" and move on to enjoy the win with her teammates...she followed her around, she intentionally taunted a player on the other team. As for Raven Johnson... Clearly SC's game plan was to get the ball into the paint...and until they showed they could make the outside shots, the benefit would be better to go for the rebounds on missed outside shots where SC had the height advantage. Steven A... You are making it a "race" thing...but you are overlooking the fact that Reese continued to follow Clark around the court with both of her gestures.

It wasn't the same exact thing. One was done directly towards an opponent, in their face, multiple times in the National Championship when the game was out of reach. It has nothing to do with race that millions of viewers watch the National Championship that have never watched a womens college basketball game before. They witnessed an act of disrespect and called Angel Reese out on it. I dont see the need to defend it.

You know who loving this..John Cena🤣🤣

Caitlin Clark very integrity i give her that but it got overhyped unfortunately

The race grift is so real and keeps racism alive

It's always a White-Black thing with Stephen A Smith.

This guy has to always go to the Race card! I gave up on ESPN because of this so called sports expert!

I didn't know Aaron Rodgers transitioned?🌈

Stephen A. is wrong. First off, how is it the responsibility of Reese to right a wrong of a player on another team? If it was a teammate I could halfway understand. He’s also wrong to suggest it’s racism. It’s just poor sportsmanship by basketball players. Caitlin Clark’s waving her hand may be wrong, but Reese was also upset that she didn’t actually guard the So. Carolina player. Again that’s not for her, the So. Carolina player should have stepped and nailed some shots.

Great video!!!!

Awww what's the matter hurt her little feelings, You dish It out better be prepared to get Served 😤

Legit question. Is there a difference between trash talking during the game versus after the game?

"Why are we heistatnt to compare a fraction of a second hand-wave to several seconds of intentional disrespect?". No idea john

Completely different situation. Caitlyn Clark talks trash but does it without being completely obnoxious.

Ironically, Caitlin Clark initially made the "you can't see me" gesture to her former USA Basketball teammate and roommate, Hailey Van Lith, who is notorious for her trash talk. In fact, this is likely why CC told Hailey to shut up in the same game. Van Lith was interviewed before the game, and at that time, she said that any trash talk between them is "done in love." You know, kind of like MJ and Magic famously going at it in practice on the Dream Team in 1992. Why Angel Reese brought race into this, saying that she was standing up for girls who look like she does, has nothing to do with CC or anything CC did in her game with Van Lith. Personally, I did not like the way Reese taunted CC at the end of the game, but race never entered my mind when this occurred. I would have been equally disappointed if CC did the same thing to Angel if Iowa had won. And while many people were justifiably upset by those who brought racist comments into the conversation (I was upset by this too), I am sure that CC would have been attacked mercilessly if the roles were reversed, in which case race would have been the focus of the conversation in a very different way. The whole thing is unfortunate, as both of these players have been wonderful for the game, and this is what we should all be focused on.

Not guarding someone at the 3 pt line because they can’t shoot or won’t shoot when open is trash talking?

They were haters while winning and haters while losing. The coach talking about taking 40 shots a game while she averages 20.

Whatever Stephen, thanks for advancing the racial dialog.😂

I love when they keeps it real.

Like you said there's a big difference between taunting someone right to their face, aside from that it's pretty equal but looks like the LSU player was more immature about it

I’m tired of even voicing my opinions on matters like this. We know what it is. And THEY DEFINITELY know what it is.

I Will go with how Barry Sanders, he showed the world what it is like to be the best, ACT LIKE YOU DESERVE TO BE THERE, NOT LIKE IT IS A SURPRISE.

Never saw Caitlin do any of that and way she answered in post game says it all!! Figure it out.

My people coming together i love it

Let the people know Angel Reese

I'm glad both the top 2 ladies in women's basketball are taunting each other. Now that both of them are in the league, a good player rivalry is badly needed. Look what Magic and Bird did for the NBA in the 80's. These two could do the same for a struggling WNBA that BAAAAAAADLY needs it.

Maybe I’m missing something but I don’t remember Clarke doing it to her opponents faces but rather towards her own fan base. Waiving someone off as to not guard them because they’re not going to shoot a three is not remotely close to doing it at the end of the game and following them across the court to do so. Maybe clarkes done it to opponents faces in the past and I definitely don’t watch women’s basketball enough to know but there’s a massive difference in the examples put forth on this video

People just need to learn how to respect each other..we're all here on borrowed time

We've had enough Stephen A. Smith. No need to cancel him, just fire him.

Can't wait to see what's gonna happen in the pros there gonna hate each other

LSU had a chip on their shoulders and rightfully so ....and don't believe the down play. Race had a lot to do with this. Even to the personalities on ESPN who are now backing Reese: ESPN LEAD story before the game said, "Caitlin Clarke and IOWA VS LSU"....as if Angel Reese did not set a record for double doubles this season. The narrative called for IOWA to win it all, hands down. Folks with pride never take being disrespectfully written off quietly. I applaud Reese's noise.

Clark responded like everybody expected her to… But she saw Reese… She just swallowed that & moved on!!! Reese ain’t do nothing wrong… Salute babygirl… Congrats!!!

Stephen A Smith always inserts his race card into every situation.

ohhh yeah this is a racist problem...God dam it, no one can stand that anymore

Completely agree. She got what she deserved. Next watch for UCONN. Paige is next. ESPUCONN shows sideline when they r pounding opponents and she is laughing with bicep flex. Well, don't invite what you may be upset over.

... it's so hypocritical, when Caitlin done-everything was fine.But the reason why Angel did it,is because she did it to other players.Anyone that plays ball, ESPECIALLY street ball,knows 'TRASH TALK' is a big part of it,you can gain an advantage if the other player can't handle it.. That's what Caitlin was doing when she waved the player off.The old adage...if you can't stand the heat,stay out the kitchen!..There was nothing wrong with Angel giving her a taste of her own medicine.Cograts Angel,and the LSU WOMENS BASKETBALL Team.

We all forget that the greatest basketball player in history was one of the biggest trash talkers ever, Michael Jordan.

LSU is ridiculous!! Clowns!!
