  1. An ignored point in this is everyone is looking at it from an American perspective. Is CC known/followed outside of the US like that? All of the other players have played overseas in leagues with bigger more rabid following than the W has here. Tarausi is a 6 time Euro league champ. She, Griner, Stewie, and others all have very large fanbases outside of the US. The international stage is not where the game needs to be "grown" honestly.
  2. Wait, wait, wait, I was told not wanting distractions was a good enough reason to not have a player on a team. Its now not? There isnt one player under 26 on the roster currently. FYI
  3. It would better pub to just let her play 30 min/gm too.
  4. Yeah, is she supposed to have animosity toward them? Is she supposed to hate the whole Olympic team? Wouldn't that be "petty" and show "jealousy" It would be a very good way to aid the "growth of the sport" that so many CC fans claim to want. And honestly it would give the fans way more of her than a few mins of play in garbage time. I mean she is "famous for being famous" and "beyond basketball" now right?
  5. Would give way more exposure this way, quietly. Over her playing 3-5 min/gm and everyone whining about why she isn't playing more. Yes, but Gray is scheduled to be back any day now.
  6. Yep! Arike should have been there. She is the bigger snub. She's 2nd in the league in scoring currently at 26ppg with 4 rebs and 5 asts
  7. Numbers are pretty close overall. Slight edge in the advanced numbers for DT. Biggest difference is CC has 5.6 TOs/gm vs 1.5 for DT.
  8. She's 6' tall which is the avg height in the W
  9. First no one said it was solely due to her race. That is what some of you seem to get caught on. Its a factor. CC was a perfect storm. And I feel like I have to keep throwing this in cause many seem to not hear it, she's good. Very good and will probably be great on the pro level, but some of it is timing, some of it is there has been more exposure, and some of it is indeed race. LOL why in the world would she seem like an underdog? Is it cause she has "sneaky quickness" is she a "coach on the floor" and "such a hard worker"?
  10. Joker is not American. Again, Black commentators are also saying some of CC's popularity is related to her race. You only agree with them on the part that goes with your argument?
  11. Saying race is a factor in why black players "hate" her but it cant be a factor is why white people like her is pretty fucking funny. Yeah they are also saying that its a factor in her popularity as well though.
  12. Is CC really "growing the game" if the majority of her fans are openly stating that they don't care about anyone else? If they are adamantly stating they dont/wont watch anyone else? If they are labeling all of the other players, including her teammates, as "petty", "jealous" or "talentless bitches"? Sports has never worked the way many of you are expecting this to. It seems as if you all want the league and all of its players to just defer or even worship CC. At some point, the player has to win and dominate. She can get her endorsements and money sure but to get respect from those in her field she has to win. Tiger was mentioned but Tiger came in fucking shit up. Golf is an individual sport anyway so its different but even then the other players had issue with him and his exposure. MJ wasnt really the face of the league until he started winning. Many media members and players questioned if his style of play could actually lead to winning all the way up until the yr he finally won.
  13. This was a great game going to double OT. Some huge shots by Arika and Kahleah Copper in crunch time. Griner and Tarausi both went over 20 pts too.
  14. So its just talking points? Not reasoned points from people who have experience with the league and international play? Anything other than complete deferral to CC is unacceptable. Its interesting.
  15. This too. She is finding the W game a little too physical right now. The international game is more physical.
  16. No she is not, She is good and will be very good but there are at least 15 better right now. Probably more. She is a bigger name and for some that's all that matters.
  17. This Kysre rebrand is hitting like crack!!
  18. Yep, interesting that she didnt even think she was going to be drafted and was just there to support CC. Messed around and got put in the best situation/organization in the league.
  19. Aja got hit in the face 3 different times last night. Only one was called a foul.
  20. This team has a ball all the time. Oh and take that CC shit back to the CC thread.
