Very possible. Labbe clearly watched her own film on the PK’s, which was her big point. But surely they did it for a reason and those reasons factor into the prep that is shared.

Your point is true if this is training for the WC, but it’s also the Olympics. It’s not a friendly. I think we would both say that Hal has played better coming into this tournament and if you’re going to take a flyer on a midfielder, it should be the one who is playing together. Skillset wise, Hal is also the better fit. She’s got way more range, which this midfield desperately needs. I hear what you’re saying though. Don’t disagree on the facts. Just on the premise.

@@HoffmanWSports We definitely agree that Hal should be getting playing time!

I’ve been covering women’s basketball for 15 years. Everyone will watch Team USA. Wtf are you talking about?? The game doesn’t need you if this is how you feel. Don’t tell me how to do my job. Stop being weird. We don’t need you in the conversation if you’re obsessed with one player and don’t care about the game. Thanks and goodbye.

@@HoffmanWSports Thank you for responding when you didnt have to. Its OK, on the personal attack. There was no need for that. I said I liked your work. Read this you'll see you have a fan of the game and YOU. And oh - I've been IN The INDUSTRY OF BAKSETBALL and SPORTS/ENTERTAINMENT for 45 years. I even coached a Women's team in the 70s. I don't care about ONE PLAYER I care about growing the game 100% - My current programs go out to reservations and rural communities with gear to grow the game. How have you grown the Game? YOU Can grow the game aswell so pls Relax. You miss read my intentions. I was giving suggestions on how to grow your numbers BECAUSE you are good and more people need good KZfaqrs like you who understand the game of basketball. Many young KZfaqrs get so upset when given suggestions. Have you ever been on a team before? Turn off your comments if you don't want people to make comments. Ok lets move past that -- As far as your assumption of me only following ONE player. I'm following history right now. The question is - WHY have millions of poeple become die hard CC fans? In your time and in my time - We've never seen it. Why? Lets go beyond the normal talking points of race, long-range 3pters, or her gender identity. The answer will help GROW THE GAME. What is it about her game? Do you cover Hockey? When Wayne Gretzky came into the league, he was not a fast skater, medium slapshot, and not a big guy, and yet was breaking all of these records? My take was that he could see things happening faster and sooner than any other player in the sport, and on top of that he had the ability to place the puck where he wanted. Ok, SO WHAT? That meant he would SURPRISE you. As a hockey player and fan I was hooked - Every game he would do something that would cause you to take notice, be surprised, and you found yourself saying "Damn, What?" Its a great time for WOMEN and LGBTQ+ in sports and our culture. NO one, not even you denies that fact that Caitlin Clark has something in her game that makes you want to watch. Not perfect at all, but like Gretzky every game something will happen that causes you to nod your head in approval or shake your head in disbelief. How will her game change the game? In the KIDS trying to play like her. Passing, shooting, and most important Courage and VISION! Just like Jordan, I was coaching at the time. Kids all started jumping to slam dunk at the age of 5 years old on nurf hoops which built their muscles up now we have an NBA filled with everyone playing above the rim. Yes CC is not the only great player. But for what ever reason she has the WORLDS attention. WHY? You break-down the game very well - the more people listening to YOU -THE BETTER.

She was on the sidelines refusing to be subbed in because her teammate was on a streak.

@@direwolf8703 Not the whole time, though.

facts! and that's okay!!

good thing this short is literally explaining what efficiency is lmao

@@HoffmanWSports sure, when you put a 100 shot cap on it…. But in the context of an actual season where the amount of shots you get changes every game … if you’re only making 33% of them … that’s not going to cut it … I’d rather go with the more efficient shooter 😂

So. The thing about a percentage is it doesn’t change with volume. That’s literally the point lmao

they pay me to talk about sports. she gets paid to play them. make sense?

@HoffmanWSports that cool bub you telling me you can be bought m, I mean you'll bash and belittle someone for money. You do you and be great at doing you. Smh

Me: criticism of the sport. You: “y’all suck” …..you tell me who is bashing and belittling on a personal level, bub

@HoffmanWSports aight so no eye for an eye right I will not speak on this anymore and let's see you continue to ridicule so ok. You be great bub. Lmao everything can't be justified. Smh

@HoffmanWSports I meant you suck the ones who neglect the good in folks still yet make it their business to talk down on them so yeah you. Your co workers are probbly awesome people.

to be clear - this was in context of the ROY race, where you have to compare them. I'd happily take either player on my team for their own, unique skillsets. both should be celebrated.
