Yup absolutely as a guy I never watched a single women's basketball game before her senior year, but now I'm rooting and watching all her games as well the local Dallas Wings

Same here. I've always been a huge NBA fan and just basketball in general, but I've never cared to watch women's basketball. But ever since I started watching Caitlin Clark play, I ctually get excited to watch it. I've been literally counting down the days waiting for the WNBA season to start. And it's for no other reason than Clark. Although now that Paige Beuckers is in the league, I can't wait to watch her play also.

I hope juju knees recover well because she also has some nasty handles that I’ve not seen in the women’s game as well. Caitlin is a beast though and a great face for the league

Ya their skills and talent are a step above everyone else and just entertaining to watch in general. Also looking forward to JuJu play in the league she's a baller.

Any reason why you particularly like white female basketball players over black ones?

A'ja Wilson has been the best female player in the world and has accomplished much more than Clark or Beuckers.

But she isn't as marketable as Clark.

I mean, is it that obvious why?

Why didn't you watch when Sabrina Ionescu joined? Or Breanna Stewart? Both are better than Clark. Fuck Stewart won the NCAA W most valuable player 4 years in a row! She was 3x player of the year.

I'm generally confused as to why a less accomplished player is getting the her roses (Clark is great, don't get me wrong) whereas all the women that paved the way are being treated like they should be kissing her ass and allowing her to win.

Did I say I like white female basketball players over black ones? I mean I named two names that I just happen to like their style of play and that I saw some of their college games. And not being a huge women's basketball fan or even knowledge enough about it to know hardly any of the players, these just happened to be the two that have stuck in my memory from the games that I have seen.

Same... sorta. I live in Vegas and the Aces were our first ever champion sports team so I've been fucking with them heavy before she came along.
