    Her TS% is .578, which is well above league average (.536), so it seems inaccurate to call her "not very efficient". And she's only 16th in the league in FGA, 2nd on her own team, so I'm not exactly sure why you would say she "doesn't play team ball". There are several other players who "dominate the ball and play with two other all-stars", but she's the only one leading the league in assists--as a rookie, no less. Now that she's acclimated to the league, she certainly seems to have elevated her team--they're 10-5 since June 13.

    It's obviously over the top for the other dude to already be anointing her the future GOAT, but I feel like the critiques you're lobbing are a bit exaggerated as well.

    Good points. She very well could be the future GOAT.

    I don't think many other players dominate the ball as much as CC does. I could be wrong, but I just have seen it.

    She's a very good basketball player. I haven't really enjoyed watching her much though. I prefer team basketball with more ball movement.

    She's good for the game though. No doubt. And she's very good.

    I’m not trying to “shit on baseball” FAMS! I’m trying to just educate you about how STUPID baseball is and if you can fall asleep for 3 hours and not miss any action, is it really a sport?

    Well I was there the day he took off the road kill he used to wear on his head, and threw that.

    The second best basketball player in the family.

    I still think the greatest accomplishment in the history of the game, is Lisa Leslie’s 101 points in 16 minutes in her HS game, with no 3pointers!

    I didn't shit on the WNBA. I don't watch it but I won't disparage it at all. Actually hoping it survives and becomes more successful.

    I think you're going to be in the minority if you believe that calling the WNBA "less dynamic than a high school game" isn't disparaging.

    That and saying the media is forcing it upon us, versus the media is covering something that is gaining in popularity.

    I don't think a rookie should ever be called greatest. They are still learning. Clark is very good and legit superstar.

    I watch a bunch of High School basketball and 17-U leagues. Believe me it’s less dynamic. Without question. I have never felt speaking the truth was disparaging in any way. Maybe you disagree?

    Angel Reese just got big endorsement deal with Reese's Pieces.

    I could be a killjoy and say athletes shouldn't promote candy but that is so perfect.

    Why does everyone pick on her?

    Pfffft. She takes a lot more crap than she gives in the games I've seen.

    There was no crap dished to her there. Defenders were just playing defense.

    The reality is, you have to go take it to her or she'll take it to you. It's a competition.

    She's no victim. Between these antics and the flopping... She deserves everything she gets. I don't fault her for it, but if you play that way people are going to play you the way they play her.

    Nobody should feel bad about that either way.

    I didn't say there was any crap dished to her in the video you showed. She was clearly the aggressor in those two moments. However, I absolutely do believe there is a lot of jealousy of her in the WNBA. In the games I've seen she takes more cheap shots than she gives out. It's a fine line. I know when I played I liked to give out the occasional chicken wing and I loved to set picks.
