  1. Basically. In a league where flopping is far less rewarded.
  2. You said "take Ice Cube's offer". Cube doesnt run a women's league.
  3. Right, admits that he doesnt watch. Gives a "factual" account about the league.
  4. LOL, you think the men would be gentle with her and allow her to score? Yall are hilarious.
  5. Meh, she hip checked her a bit. That wasnt some "assault" or "attack" like so many are making it out to be. Clark acting like she got shot is fucking ridiculous. She flops constantly, stiff arms when she has the ball and talks shit all the time. Yeah a top level competitor is going to eventually have an issue with that.
  6. Last year, a Bloomberg News report found the WNBA was projected to make $180 million to $200 million for the 2023 season. https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/women-basketball-players-pay-discrepancy-record-viewership-explained-rcna148233
  7. Yep, its why the NBA just stopped allowing prop betting on guys on 2 way contracts after Jontay Porter was banned
  8. There aint one chance in hell that man is 12
  9. Right, her tweet was directed at Barkley and the like not Caitlin.
  10. She isnt trying to do anything but share the spotlight.
  11. Well, the vast majority of white people actually know and claim their ethnicity (Italian, Irish, Scottish, etc). Black Americans had that ability taken away and consequently all generally get lumped into "African-American or just Black"
  12. https://news.ucdenver.edu/is-the-b-in-black-capitalized-yes/#:~:text=Reasons for Capitalizing Black&text=But for many people the,color%2C not a person.” “Yes, Black should be capitalized,” she said. Harding pointed to an article by The Columbia Journalism Review, which explains that “in the absence of the identifiable ethnicities slavery stole from those it subjugated, Black can be a preferred ethnic designation for some descendants.”
  13. Coaching (especially in the NBA) is a thankless job but firing him after he led them out of the doldrums, got them to the 2nd round and competed with a 66 win team before almost all of his team went on IR seems crazy.
  14. The whining about CC being singled out is some real bitchassness. She isn't being treated differently than any other player on the court. There was always going to be an adjustment period. There is nothing wrong with that. In fact, its a good thing as she will have to actually overcome in a competitive league. Its a physical league filled with grown women who are competitive as fuck. CC is good currently and will be great but thinking current players should just lay down and let her score/win is crazy. No one has ever asked a rookie to do that and it goes against everything sports is supposed to be about. Magic/Bird/MJ/LBJ all had to take the league over. It wasn't given to them until they proved they were the best. The problem is IMO is that most of the people who are new to watching the league has dismissed it as not good for years without watching. They assumed CC was the best player they've ever seen. Now they have to admit that there players who are better currently and the league has way more talent than they ever knew.
  15. He is so unserious. He was looking like he really cooked someone too.
  16. Not every single minute. Did you? She was prolly hating a bit but I cant find anything saying she called her a "ball hog". She did say she shot "40 times a gm" which was hyperbole. She is definitely shooting a lot at 22 times a gm. To contrast, only one player in the W shot more than 20 times a game (Jewell Loyd 20.3) last yr. No one else shot more 19 times a gm. Its wack when old heads hate but its not new nor is Caitlyn unique is receiving it.
  17. Swoopes was uniformed on the record talk. I wouldnt consider her take on Caitlin not coming in and dominating is hating though. She said Cait would be a superstar but there are very few players that have come in as a rookie and dominated the W. Candace Parker is about the only one I can think of. Kelsey Plum who's record Clark is about to break didnt come into the league and dominate. She took quite a few yrs to become a real star player and she still is not the best player on her team. Not even the 2nd best actually.
  18. LOL, I'm a little confused by it too but I dont think OKC is actually involved in the trade. Its a pick that OKC traded at one point........I think
  19. Top that off with the fact that Dame and Pat Bev dont vibe. More importantly, I've always disliked Cam Payne but giving him to a team that you more than likely have to face in the playoffs for a vastly over-rated Pat Bev is a dumb move
