I agree there is an upward trajectory over the last several years and it's all good. But you only have to look at the games where Clark isn't playing (in terms of ratings) these last two years to see the impact she has had on the sport.
Jealousy. I expected Brianna Stewart to something meaningful but she is a coward and hater herself.
Women tearing down other women is a real thing. My wife and I talk about it all the time. I just don’t get it.
Seems like it. Now Lynette Woodard was talking over the weekend about she didn't think her record had been broken.
There was a story about women's basketball before the NCAA was formed and what the teams had to go through just to get to their games. I'll see if I can find it and post the link here. None of their records are on the books, none. NCAA does not consider them valid since it all happened before they formed. All these former and current players bitching about Clark is not a good look. At all.
I could tell you plenty of stories. Tearing down current players doesn’t change those facts. Thankfully it’s called progress and sadly it’s just jealousy trying to compare or tear down people because of changing playing circumstances they had no control over. It goes both ways, whether it’s current players tearing down older players or older players tearing down current players, it’s cruel, small minded. Breanna Stewart, Diana Tauasi, Sue Bird, etc played with multiple teammates who were WNBA draftees at UConn with the goal of playing with the best, coached by the recognized best coach, to become the best and win a National Championship. Clark stayed home, bet on herself, her teammates and had the same goal, a national championship with the confidence in her coach that they could compete for a national championship. UConn didn’t even recruit her, so their evaluation placed her expectations at a lower level. Just a sad commentary on human nature in too many people who think that tearing down others, elevates them.
I had no idea. And yet I’m not shocked at all. Does the ncaa get anything right before they are dragged kicking and screaming?
Even more dominant than the great Syracuse Lacrosse teams' era.
In the story I posted Clark had the grace to recognize these older records, too bad the players complaining about her couldn't gather a scintilla of the same respect:
UConn just protecting their brand is not a good look. Gino could call it out but he’s s small man. Beyond that The racism is real. Fact.
I don’t like CC because she’s white. I like her because she shoots like no woman ever before and her passes defy belief. And she seems fairly humble for someone with that much talent.
What’s ironic, is that many of these old time greats wouldn’t even be in the conversation if not for Clark.
Spot on. She is super humble off the court. Also charitable with her time and money.
I love her game mostly for her passing skills. She has great court vision making teammates better, that’s a special skill. Much more difficult to defend a scorer who is a great passer and a valued teammate.
Im usually a huge fan of Etan's commentary but he just refuses to give CC her flowers.
Etan views everything through race and assumes all whites are racist at heart.
