Caitlin Clark’s game really hasn’t changed much since high school, she’s just gotten quicker and even more polished. She doesn’t have the flashiest handles. She isn’t the most athletic, the tallest, or the strongest player on the floor. Yet she’s averaging 21 points, 4 rebounds, and 8 assists in...

The WNBA has completely mismanaged its biggest star in Caitlin Clark and it’s sad to see. Caitlin Clark didn’t do it alone and there are a number of current and former players who helped pave and maintain the way, but Caitlin Clark has been the primary catalyst for the WNBA’s new media rights deal, new CBA, having to move games to bigger arenas, getting private chartered flights and so much more. Yet when she is targeted in ways on the court that aren’t about basketball, it’s brushed aside as “physicality” or “just the way we play in the W”. No. What Alyssa Thomas did to Caitlin Clark was not about basketball. What Alyssa Thomas did to Angel Reese was not about basketball. It was a cheap shot. It was dirty. It was done on purpose. And it’s hurting the WNBA as a whole. What’s also sad is that because of the mismanagement of Caitlin Clark by the WNBA as a whole, the fact that HISTORICALLY INCREDIBLE BASKETBALL IS BEING PLAYED in the WNBA and it’s not being talked about enough. Marina Mabrey tied the WNBA record for most points in a game with 53 points, 6 Rebs, 2 assists and tied the WNBA record by hitting NINE 3’s for the Toronto Tempo 🤯 Rookie Olivia Miles broke Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers’ WNBA record for fastest to score 300 points and have 100 assists. Clark and Bueckers did it in 19 games, so Miles did it in 18. Olivia Miles has also lead the Minnesota Lynx, without star player Napheessa Collier, to the best record in the league and #1 in every major offensive statistic. Angel Reese just became the fastest player to get 1k rebounds. There is so much greatness happening in the WNBA, and it’s being ignored because people don’t want to celebrate it when the league won’t even protect its own players from unnecessary targeted behavior. Some people don’t want to celebrate the WNBA when the league won’t protect its most marketable player that is the driving force behind its increased awareness. But I will say the quiet part out loud. The facts today still show that far too many people are making things in the WNBA about race or sexuality and not the results. Drawing a line in the sand and defending any player’s dirty play just because of the color of their skin is wrong. We shouldn’t be denying the truth of what we see and situating or views of the truth along color lines. Caitlin Clark and every WNBA player wants to compete at the highest level. They are tough and the best female basketball players in the World. They don’t want to be involved in identity politics or race wars. They just want to play basketball. Right & wrong has no color. Alyssa Thomas was wrong for what she did. Caitlin Clark is a phenom, the WNBA has been wrong at so many turns with how they have handled her and the WNBA needs to improve its officiating. Olivia Miles was the right pick for Minnesota and is the runaway Rookie of the Year right now. Marina Mabrey was the right move for the Toronto Tempo. Angel Reese was the right move for the Atlanta Dream. Don’t pick sides based on the color of a player’s skin or their sexuality. Let’s just talk basketball. What Alyssa Thomas did wasn’t about basketball, she is rightfully getting crushed for it and got suspended. But everything doesn’t have to be a race war. It shouldn’t be. Via Outta Pocket with RGIII

Angel Reese hates Caitlin Clark. It’s staring us all right in the face, but people are afraid to say it. Won’t answer questions about Caitlin Clark. Gets mad when people praise Caitlin Clark for the explosion of popularity around Women’s Basketball. Celebrates when her teammates flagrantly foul Caitlin Clark. Goes after and tries to punch Caitlin Clark after a routine “make them earn it foul” after Angel Reese fouled Aaliyah Boston with a push in the back that wasn’t called. That’s not just hate. That’s jealousy and resentment. Some people get uncomfortable when you say Angel Reese hates or is jealous of Caitlin Clark because of the complex racial history of America and the historical stereotypes of the angry or jealous Black Woman. I understand that. Angel Reese isn’t just some jealous Black woman. Angel is an NCAA Champion and great basketball player. She’s a competitor who has shown she doesn’t like how Caitlin Clark is crowned while she’s criticized for showing the same confidence and fire in her own way. That’s not an assumption, that’s what Angel Reese has said and shown us all. And yeah, that can turn into hate, jealousy and resentment. That’s what makes this rivalry real to a lot of viewers. Caitlin Clark is the most popular athlete in America and Angel Reese is the Isiah Thomas to Caitlin Clark’s Michael Jordan. That’s what will continue to raise the popularity of the WNBA. People care about rivalries. Rivalries aren’t built on handshakes. They are forged in fire, fouls, and pride. Angel Reese wants to beat and outshine Caitlin Clark. Angel Reese has said she is the Villain. That is sports. That’s the game. Angel Reese has beat Caitlin Clark, but never outshined her. Even when Angel won the national title, the First Lady wanted to see her and Caitlin Clark at the White House. Over time the hate and resentment has built up from all this. You could see it in her overreaction to the routine basketball play foul. I’m just the one not afraid to say it. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

The WNBA has a PROBLEM. A lot of people want Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese to be the Magic and Bird of the WNBA, but they can’t do that if one of the teams is terrible. The New York Liberty and the Minnesota Lynx are the 2 best teams in the WNBA. Both undefeated. Both loaded with Star players. The Lynx’s Napheesa Collier is the MVP favorite and vying to be the best player in the W. But the WNBA needs more from its two most talked about teams in the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky. The Indiana Fever have been without their Superstar Guard Caitlin Clark for most of the season. Posting a 2-3 record without Clark shows the strength of the team, because with Clark on the court the Fever look like title contenders this year. Caitlin Clark makes her team better when she is on the court with scoring, passing and floor spacing. The Indiana Fever need her back playing to win and so does the WNBA to keep growing the game around her exciting play. The Chicago Sky on the other hand, have the WNBA’s 2nd most visible player in Angel Reese. Reese is healthy, has played every game and the Chicago Sky are terrible. That’s not an opinion, it’s a fact right now. The Sky have one of the worst records in the WNBA. Angel Reese, by her own admission, hasn’t been playing well and has one of the worst plus/minus in the entire league. For the WNBA to continue to grow its viewership at record pace it’s needs Caitlin Clark back on the court. That is clear with viewership, ticket sells and the excitement about the product on the court. The rivalry narrative between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese has become such a focal point that the WNBA needs the Chicago Sky to be good to keep people interested in that narrative. The WNBA needs Angel Reese to grow her on court game and lift her team to match the off court fame. Otherwise, the WNBA has to flip the narrative to focus on Caitlin Clark building rivalries against the Minnesota Lynx’s Napheesa Collier, Las Vegas Aces’ A’ja Wilson, New York Liberty’s Sabrina Ionescu, Atlanta Dream’s Allisha Gray or Rhyne Howard, Phonenix Mercury’s Satou Sabally and or the Washington Mystics’ Kiki Iriafen or Sonia Citron. The WNBA has no shortage of talented players, but rivalries are built on great competition. The Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark vs the Chicago Sky and Angel Reese will always be a spectacle because of the connective tissue of the 2 players stories. But if the Chicago Sky and Angel Reese don’t improve, the WNBA should invest in building that connective tissue with its biggest star Caitlin Clark and its other star players on the court who are in the hunt for a championship. #CaitlinClark #AngelReese #WNBA #RG3 #Outtapocket #Basketball
