  1. She can do just like Draymond did and Josh Hart is currently doing this yr (sans being an asshole) during the playoffs and how other players do every yr once they are eliminated. If a media position isnt in her plans I get it but it could be another huge win for the cult of personality that follows her if she shows more of herself while talking about the players and the league.
  2. Thats is what was noted that the unnamed insider "sources" said and they were labeled as "hating petty bitches"
  3. Yeah, as I mentioned, her being a commentator would be great for her and everyone involved.
  4. Considering they won the bronze and neither he, Wade or Melo were ready you're actually right
  5. Nah, that's what you wanna see. I have no issue with CC or any of the rookies.
  6. Any of those W games? Never said that.
  7. They all have ratings less than half of the Olympic games that you all are saying a CC W game would outdraw
  8. Some of yall just say shit just to say shit. https://sportsnaut.com/wnba-tv-ratings/ https://sportsnaut.com/wnba-tv-ratings/
  9. Cmon man, plenty of fans from other countries root for and want to see their favorite American players. Been that way since at least the first Dream Team. They want their country to win sure but they definitely look forward to see their favorite US players.
  10. 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.
  11. During the final 4
  12. 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
  13. It would better pub to just let her play 30 min/gm too.
  14. 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?
  15. 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.
  16. 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
  17. 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.
  18. She's 6' tall which is the avg height in the W
  19. 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"?
  20. 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?
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
