  1. WNBA Attendance Is 105% Higher When Caitlin Clark Plays Key Highlights: Caitlin Clark has caused attendance figures to jump 87% compared to opponent’s average home attendance Clark has accounted for 33.5% of the total WNBA attendance in 2024 When Clark plays, WNBA games average 15,591 fans in attendance (+105%) compared to 7,645 fans when she is not in action Indiana Fever average 36% more fans on the road (15,142) than any other WNBA team The Las Vegas Aces are the only team that didn’t set their season-high in attendance with Clark in town but the defending champs have operated at max capacity for nearly every home game. When removing the Aces from the equation, Clark’s effect grew even bigger to a whopping 137% compared to when she’s not in action. No. 2 overall pick Cameron Brink and the L.A. Sparks are next on the list, drawing an average of 11,104 fans on the road. Meanwhile, fellow rookie Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky are third on the list with an average of 10,365 fans in attendance on the road. Attendance at non-Caitlin Clark WNBA games this past weekend: 7,638 4,015 9,878 7,035 3,265 10,207 7,024 Attendance at Caitlin Clark WNBA games this past weekend: 17,274 17,401
  2. “Caitlin Clark is the first player in WNBA history with 200 points and 75 assists in her first 12 career games Choosing Griner over Clark is the biggest head scratcher. She hasn’t even played this season and has off the court baggage (domestic assault, heading to Russia after the Ukrain invasion ) etc.
  3. Fair. Ive only see a few quarters live, and the lowlight videos posted in this thread and others of her teammates struggling to deal with passes etc.
  4. true, also fair to say at least a 1/3 of those turnovers attributed to her are caused by her teammates
  5. She is top 15 in points and 4th in assists and has played only 10 games or so. It is very comparable, and she is doing it in a league dominated by size and physicality, not finesse. Also, her teammates are…..not good
  6. Christian Laettner Disagrees.
  7. Help me Space Tits. You’re my only hope.
  8. They wouldn't have to play a minute to be some of the most viewed female athletes on social media at the Olympics. The Vets should embrace them and be introduced to their already larger followings. Go make your money ladies.
  9. Silver needs to step in and discreetly force them to add CC to the roster. The NBA has lost over a quarter of a Billion dollars investing in the WNBA, they have every right to want to see their investment maximized. Favoring individual feelings/jealousy over the good of the sport and league (worldwide) should be a fireable offense.
  10. Indiana Fever have drawn 82,857 fans for their first five home games of the 2024 WNBA season at Gainbridge Fieldhouse Attendance for 20 Fever games last season delivered a total attendance of 81,336 Seven of the nine games the Fever have played this year have been sellouts, according to The Indianapolis Star The Fever’s average attendance this season at the 18,000-seater Gainbridge Fieldhouse is 15,564, which is the most in the league and up significantly on their average of 4,067 for the whole of 2023. Their first four home games saw a total of 65,583 fans attend and the game against the Chicago Sky, which featured another star of the 2024 WNBA draft class in Angel Reese, was another sellout of 17,274, pushing the Fever’s cumulative attendance for this season past last year’s total. What percentage of that increase is solely due to the Fever?
  11. It’s not magic. They are simply making Kyrie and Luka work harder and playing better individual D on them. They have the athleticism to match the size. Kat and Gob don’t.
  12. Sir this is a Wendys. Or a thread about Cailtin Clark
  13. Sometimes it feels like F1 is not a real sport.
  14. So is it not possible for a white female basketball player to warrant this level of hype on pure merit? Is there a higher level as a pro prospect should could have achieved to do so or is it simply unachievable? I’m old enough to remember HS Lebron signing a $90 million dollar shoe deal, espn broadcasting his HS games, cover of SI and being one of the most famous athletes in the country before ever playing a game. It’s merit was never questioned. Is that possible for a white female basketball player?
  15. Link to objective evidence?
  16. The replay of Ricciardo’s false start was….unconvincing. He got a 5 second penalty when Lando did the same in a precious race and was given no penalty.
  17. 2 games in last 14 days?
  18. Late to the game but Loudermilk is fantastic
  19. Scoring:13th Assist:4th Steals: 17th Reb: 26th Still a terrible decision not to include her. Would think her assists would rise even more with better teammates
  20. Finals teams attempted 69 3 pointers last night, so grabbing a truly elite shooter might be the best option on a team severely lacking in shooting.
  21. Nope. We got a nice upgrade recently. They went with speed gray and red for the exterior. Huge improvement
