  1. 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"?
  2. 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?
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. This too. She is finding the W game a little too physical right now. The international game is more physical.
  8. 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.
  9. This Kysre rebrand is hitting like crack!!
  10. 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.
  11. Aja got hit in the face 3 different times last night. Only one was called a foul.
  12. This team has a ball all the time. Oh and take that CC shit back to the CC thread.
  13. She's having a monster season. Should've won her 3rd straight MVP last yr. Still got better and should make up for that this yr and get #3
  14. Well, I mean you're only watching one of the worst teams in the league. Watch the Aces, Liberty or Sun. Hell, the Wings are the team in TX. They have two very good players in Arika Ogunbawale and Satou Sabally. Watch them.
  15. People gonna lose their shit when someone gets a 4 yr/450M contract.
  16. Meh, almost all of of you are just talking about CC though. If all you all are interested in is CC then really what difference does it make? Most of you all still say, "the league/game sucks" "I dont know and dont care to know anyone else", "I'll never watch a game that CC isnt playing" etc.
  17. CC's former teammate is having the time of her life in Vegas with the best organization in the league.
  18. BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  19. To each his own but Wilson's game is tight. More importantly, she's proven it on every level. Multi-time MVP and multi-time WNBA champion, gold medalist and NCAA champ And CC is very nice. Her skill level is not on another level. The one thing she does do that really hasnt been done before is shoot relatively consistently from distance but even that is matched by Ionescu. She doesn't dribble or pass better than Chelsea Gray, Sue Bird or even Ticha Pinechero. She is shooting 35.7% from the floor and 29% from 3 so I'm not even sure where the "super efficient" stuff comes from. She's 42nd in the league in 3P% but has taken the 3rd most 3s/gm in the league. This is what I mean about people who proudly dont watch the W coming and making statements about the W like they know what they are talking about. It's cool that CC is your introduction and who you are interested in but isn't new or better than MANY players current or past.
  20. She draws plenty to the W. She doesn't draw you and again that's fine. Your insistence on making over the top and uninformed generalized statements stated as if they are fact based on your narrow minded opinion is part of the reason you end up with people disliking interacting with you here. I hadn't added this 129885489076th version of you to my ignore list but I can see its gonna happen.
  21. I know its hip to hate Angel Reese but she is playing a great game. Has Jonquel Jones (a former MVP) in jail. Completely frustrated on both ends. Oh and Chennedy Carter is a fucking baller. 15 pt in 13 first half mins off the bench.
