Notice The OFFICIAL WNBA Coming To Portland Thread…..

That quality U of O education, I guess... <lights fuse, runs away giggling maniacally>

 

I'm gonna be honest dude. Most WNBA players just don't interest me because of the way they play ball. It's fucking boring. Clark is not boring. She's exciting. What other WNBA player can do these things? She's shooting from the fucking logo.

 

She missed out on learning how to milk a mean cow by not going to OSU

 

Ionescu is a really good player and I love her from when she was a Duck, but she's just not even remotely as exciting to watch as Clark.

 

I do kinda agree with Phatguysrule. Clark has gotten more and more whiny and more and more of an entitled attitude on the court.

 

I notice you couldn't find an example...

 

And her fans have just gotten whinier and whinier. It's annoying.

I really have no problem with CC. She's doing the best she can without adapting her game. If she improves her handle and foot speed (and gets comfortable passing the ball ahead or reversing it when pressured) she'll be unstoppable. It won't matter who's guarding her.

Will she do that? It remains to be seen...

 

CC plays with attitude. We can make quite a lengthy list of other players - men and women - who do the same. I absolutely believe race plays a factor too. She has received a TON of attention and publicity the last three years. I think its obvious other players dont like it and feel disregarded by the media and fans, like CC is a savior of some sort. But she kind of is. She isnt in the same stratosphere of being a punk like Angel Reese who is totally unlikeable. She also isnt a nice/liked/respected as Sabrina. So she brings 'some' of this on herself, sure. It just sure seems like the WNBA doesnt know how to handle recent success and popularity that they have desired for so long. The league wanted all of this, now has it, and sure does its best to sabotage its own success. The 'average' fan or just sports fan I guess, when you say anything about the WNBA, does an eye-roll and thinks they are somewhat of a joke. Their t-shirts at the AS game, the complaining about refs this season, treatment of CC, listening to Reese, its a turn off.

 

I have no problem at all with attitude. Sabrina plays with attitude. Most guards in the wnba do. It's the "whiny" or "victim" thing. And she has done that since before she was in the WNBA.

I really think that's what gets the other players treating her the way that they do. Not being willing to give her props, etc...

*Edit* I agree that the shirts at the All-Star game were a turn off.

 

You can't judge a player's following by social media comments. You don't even know if comments are from humans or bots. Some remarks about Reese unfortunately are overly racist. And I would bet many of the haters have never been to a WNBA game.

 

I've seen her "highlights". Many of the comments are about her game, and the comments are on point. She's brutal.

 

Her stats on this video are pretty hilarious. 13% FG on 5 to 9 feet.

 

If you want racist comments, read ANYTHING after a positive CC post on social media! It’s sad!

 

Also it is pretty gross how many people make fun of her looks and misgender her.

 

It's BecAUse she's WhIneY and FLopS!

 

I honestly cant think of anyone who whines more or complains more than Angel Reese. She doesnt seem to be treated like shit from the other players. For some reason.

 

Chris Paul has consistently whined, flopped and treated his teammates badly. Why is he still friends with everyone?

 

The greatest flop in the history of flops.

 

Didn’t Dillon Brooks while at Oregon had the flop of the century?

 

I'm definitely not a fan of Chris Pauls. Similar attitude as CC.
