Media does not even pay attention to women’s basketball.

I saw a column one day about all the new WNBA fans Clark has brought to the league. Which is undoubtedly true. This columnist also pointed out that many of these newbies think that Clark is the best player in the league?

His opinion, which I concur with, is that currently she is not even in the top ten. She is a fine player, and likely will get into that upper echelon one day, but isn’t there quite yet. Flashy, for sure. But there are veteran players in this league who game in and game out that make solid game after game plays that win games, without some of the flair and I imagine drama that Caitlan brings. Again, she can play, but she isn’t quite what some of her followers quite believe she is.

BTW, hats off to Reeves for finally putting the focus on the miserable reffing that the league either condones, or encourages. This is NOT a Lynx thing, it’s league wide. I also wonder if Reeves Rant opened the door for Phee to evicerate Commissioner Cathy for her inability to see that mixing BB and professional wrestling does not make for an interesting, or fair, contest. It was a cold, calculated, and classy summation of what is the leagues biggest on court negative!

To say Clark is not a top ten player in the WNBA is just silly. You can debate it all you want, but I'll tell you this - she is number uno when it comes to making money. She makes more than all WNBA rosters put together... and isn't that the real meaning of a professional - getting paid the top dollar. Hence, why so many players want to take her out and see her injured. Pure jealousy. A good commissioner would protect the top asset at all costs. Just like the NBA did with MJ. It's how the money is made - so simple - yet the WNBA doesn't seem to get it.

There was no missed call. Collier got the ball stolen cleanly from her. It was unfortunate that Collier sprained her ankle on the play. But Cheryl Reeves then went on an embarrassing rant on the court and then in the press conference after. What a poor role model for all parents and young kids who are fans of the Lynx. BTW There are way better coaches out there, and some of the best are males. It's time to move on from Cheryl and her friends who pretend to be assistant coaches on the Lynx. Just friends getting salary handouts.

Now retired college basketball referee here. I watched the replay and her knee was hit with force on the steal that got Reeves so upset. I’m surprised the knee wasn’t severely damaged by the contact. That said, there is no defense for a coach to sprint onto the floor to confront an official, no matter how upset she was. It’s just not done.

Tell us you're not a black homosexual female without telling us you're one. You must have been a female basketball player at one time. That's definitely where the NBA and the WNBA differ.

Actually, I'm a white male :) I'm just not a piece of shit.

oh and lastly... You have such strong opinions about how people should act for someone who can't even respect CAITLIN Clark by spelling her name right and knowing it doesn't have a Y in it.

Maybe your more than just a piece of shit and I highly doubt your a white male.

Hmmmmm, so I then assume that the player who makes the most cash, even if most of it comes from promotional activities should sweep all individual awards? MVP, DPOY, OPOY, etc. Making the most coin may make you the best self promoter of the league, but that’s about all.

CC is a very good BB player, but she isn’t close to the best player in that league. She may someday be, but that day is in the future!
