That seems weird.

There are a ton of NBA players without a college championship and didn't/won't win and NBA championship this year, and because of that, you aren't impressed?

I'm talking about guys like LBJ, KD, Steph, Booker, etc. The list goes on. Your criteria for what impresses you seems very strange to me.

POLL: Caitlin Clark took a finger to the eye, intentional or not? (See link for clip)

2:13pm

Why is this the Caitlin Clark board? A'ja repeated as the unanimous league MVP

Archaea

2:17pm

Is A'ja the best player in the WNBA? Probably...

bluecheese

2:21pm

And the CC hype is hurting the game.

Archaea

2:22pm

No. The obscene about of missed layups, inexplicable turnovers, and bad shots is

RalphWiggam

I am not a big fan of the league, and root for the local team, but

Archaea

That seems weird.

bluecheese

2:32pm

Steph has a few NBA titles to his name, All Pros and League MVPs. LBJ has how

Archaea

2:33pm

But you obviously weren't impressed by Steph until he got the ring.

Russell Feathers

2:34pm

Not really, I wasn't. His rings showed he could play under pressure

Archaea

2:36pm

Which is why Robert Horry should beat out MJ and Lebron for GOAT.

Eddie

2:38pm

Did I state it was the only criterion? No, but to be considered great, you must

Archaea

2:41pm

So John Stockton wasn’t great? Karl Malone wasn’t great? Charles Barkley

RalphWiggam

2:43pm

Individual stats are fine. My definition is different than yours.

Archaea

2:47pm

But you said "this year". Your criteria excludes a lot of guys.

bluecheese

2:43pm

You don't like that people cheer for her, so you have determined that you will

Russell Feathers

2:34pm

I don't like the reason they cheer for her.

Archaea

2:35pm

What is the reason they cheer for her?

RalphWiggam

2:36pm

RE: What is the reason they cheer for her?

Archaea

2:38pm

So I’ll gather you think it’s a racism thing? Maybe a small handful of wackos

RalphWiggam

2:42pm

If you haven't watched before, how can you say she does things nobody else has

Archaea

2:43pm

Please tell us you're keeping a list of all the people you think are racist

BYUMizzou

2:45pm

Your words, not mine.

Archaea

2:47pm

Dude, you're nuts. CC blew up way before she was drafted. She was on Sports-

BYUMizzou

2:54pm

They were promoting her senselessly. It was over the top for no reason, because

Archaea

2:56pm

Then your beef should be with ESPN and all the TV/Print/Radio/Internet sports

BYUMizzou

2:58pm

Didn’t she break the ncaa scoring record? Am I misremembering?

SpecialT

2:58pm

Oh yeah, she did do that. She scored more points in college basketball than any

BYUMizzou

3:00pm

Ya, but she's white, so........

Rusty Crab Daddy

Thanks to the 3 point line. I wonder if Cheryl Miller had had the three point

Archaea

3:02pm

RE: Thanks to the 3 point line. I wonder if Cheryl Miller had had the three

BYUMizzou

3:08pm

Who has done what she has done? Who consistently pulls the trigger from beyond

RalphWiggam

2:53pm

Cheryl Miller was the first women's player that played like a man.

Archaea

2:55pm

Cheryl Miller was a phenomenal player. She never played in the WNBA of course

RalphWiggam

3:02pm

I am not the student of the WNBA

Archaea

3:04pm

Good heavens man!! No one is arguing Miller wasn’t a better player! Stop

RalphWiggam

3:15pm

Or you root for Caitlin Clark because she's the best player in that league.

BlueFever

2:46pm

Nobody but people who don't follow the league believe that.

Archaea

2:50pm

So you will root for her when she starts to win-textbook bandwagon fan.

kalifi

2:50pm

No. I would only root for her if she joined the Las Vegas Aces.

Archaea

2:53pm

Never heard of Aja

JohnnyComeLately

2:56pm

Unanimous MVP of the League and she's on the commercial with Dick's and Mahomes.

Archaea

3:03pm

Same.

BYUMizzou

3:09pm

It’s too bad Aja isn’t as popular and well known as the Face of women’s basketball.

JohnnyComeLately

3:11pm

Same, also haven’t watched one second of any WNBA game probably ever.

3:16pm

It's not a great product most of the time. You force yourself to watch because

Archaea

3:23pm

Who says you are "supposed to be supportive"? I don't give two craps about the WNBA, nobody tells me what I am supposed

4:03pm

agree it is not a great product. I don't feel any obligation or duty to be

oryguncoug

4:16pm

Why don't you just say what we all know you're thinking?

byujacob

3:18pm

The hate is strong in that league.

BlueFever

2:18pm

If that was intentional, she has the best body control and hand/eye coordination I've ever seen.

Byron McNertney

2:19pm

While that may be true...

Eddie

2:28pm

Haven't watched any games, but see plenty of highlights. WNBA is pretty catty.

bluecheese

2:19pm

truly doubt anyone is out to "get" CC. CC had a very good rookie year but she's

Archaea

2:21pm

She is the only reason anyone cares at all about the WNBA.

bluecheese

2:21pm

rolls eyes.

Archaea

2:22pm

Archaea right now...

bluecheese

2:25pm

RE: Archaea right now...

BYUMizzou

2:26pm

Maybe "main reason" is better phrasing. Look at ratings, attendance, viewership

oryguncoug

2:27pm

Even CB there is way more WNBA talk because of Caitlin Clark- I think this might

acougfan

2:34pm

She's literally the only WNBA player I can name. Nobody cares about the WNBA

BYUMizzou

2:25pm

Well there is one reason she is promoted

Archaea

2:29pm

RE: Well there is one reason she is promoted

DiamondMo

2:30pm

You sound defensive.

Archaea

2:31pm

RE: Well there is one reason she is promoted

Rusty Crab Daddy

2:32pm

To be fair - it started in college.

Eddie

2:34pm

Shes a household name because of what she did 5 months ago in college

DiamondMo

2:38pm

RE: She is the only reason anyone cares at all about the WNBA.

acougfan

2:31pm

You assume people care even with her.

Archaea

2:32pm

Her game interests me a little , which is carryover from her college days and

acougfan

2:49pm

That's a fair comment. I admit the league isn't great, because there is a huge

Archaea

2:52pm

Way too many incedents this year to claim no one is targeting her.

bluesloth

2:23pm

Jonathan Tavernari is the only one qualified to answer eye poke questions

DiamondMo

2:28pm

She goes right into her eye like a guided missile.
