1st one: pulls up from 30 feet

2nd one: pulls ups from 35 feet

3rd one: hits it on a double team from 30 feet

Unreal.

Seriously why did it take so long to get her the ball for the third one? Like when your teammate is cookin like that you feed them.

All I can think was the net catching on fire 😂😂

u/DrChucks Jun 15 '25

Someone needs to do an edit with the ball on fire

u/tsukubasteve27 Jun 14 '25

I think she misread and got bunched up with her teammate, took a few seconds to spread out and maintain possession.

u/no_racist_here Jun 14 '25

But coach I wanna dribble the ball too

u/niles_thebutler_ Jun 14 '25

Jealousy. A lot of people don’t like her in the league

1

u/NonPolarVortex Jun 15 '25

Her teammates are jealous she smashing threes? Yeah, nah

0

u/niles_thebutler_ Jun 15 '25

It’s ok if you are new to sports and don’t understand. They were absolutely jealous of the attention she got when she came into the league and weren’t defending her when teams were deliberately fouling her hard and then they were making remarks of wanting the ball in their hands more etc etc. I get you’ve probably never been athletic in your life and wouldn’t understand competition.

u/CoeurdAssassin Paris Saint-Germain Jun 14 '25

Don’t worry I got it

u/TheOtherGuttersnipe Jun 14 '25

That's only if she went hard in the paint and ran someone over

u/ughAdulting Jun 14 '25

“CaitlinClark picks up the offensive foul.”

“More like Caitlin Jenner with that vehicular manslaughter charge down the lane.”

My 75 year old dad said she's basically Steph Curry with a pussy

u/origami_anarchist Jun 14 '25

I nicknamed her 'Caitlin "you're going to need a bigger court" Clark' a couple of months ago, and I'm sticking with it.

Really rolls off the tongue

u/fplisadream Jun 14 '25

Caitlin "did you ever notice how this young woman from Des Moines, Iowa can really shoot the rock?" Clark

u/origami_anarchist Jun 14 '25

Good point. I haven't actually said it out loud, yet.

3

u/trustsnapealways Jun 14 '25

Yeah but she didn’t get a single me-bound on any of those possessions… Angel would’ve had 4! /s

3

u/raknor88 Jun 14 '25

And all were swishes. There was no backboard needed.

1

u/SemIdeiaProNick Jun 15 '25

What gets me isnt even that, its the fact that she did all without the usual setup you would expect from such long shots. She was just like “i shoot now” and they all go in perfectly

3

u/Blindobb North Carolina Jun 15 '25

All from different spots on the floor too.

u/Seastep Jun 15 '25

Bad shot.

Bad shot.

Bad shot.

CC: "I don't give a fuuuuck"

u/UsuallyFavorable Jun 14 '25

A double team that far away from the key is insane. If you have to guard her all the way out there, it’s going to open up so many lanes to the basket.

1

u/StageGeneral5982 Jun 14 '25

Obviously amazing that she did it but like can anyone acknowledge that these are just terrible shots and bad decisions? Pulling up 10 ft behind the line 3 seconds into a shot clock is definitively bad basketball right?

3

u/RoccStrongo Jun 15 '25

Used to be that way. But this is new-age basketball. That's why I say Steph didn't change the game, his coaches did. They no longer punished 3s over forced paint attempts. And that's why so many people are so quickly becoming just as good at shooting wild 3s. Even low level high school kids are jacking it up from half court mid-game and making it.

1

u/swaktoonkenney Jun 15 '25

It’s a bad shot for most people, but not for her, or Steph or Dame people like that. It’s from her feel of the defense. She said she can tell that in transition if the defenders aren’t guarding her that far out it’s a good look for her, and clearly it is as she has a good percentage from there.

u/PDXmadeMe Jun 14 '25

3rd one could have been from 35 if Cunningham had any sense of the moment

1

u/Dalze Jun 14 '25

Yeah but look at her turnovers 🙄(/s just in case)

1

u/Mindless-Share Jun 15 '25

She’s fucking awesome

u/BassLB Jun 15 '25

That 3rd one was the fastest release I’ve ever seen

u/ZeppelinJ0 Buffalo Bills Jun 15 '25

Well since you put it that way

She really bout to drag the WNBA to the forefront.

Better than Steph

u/SystemicPandemic Jun 14 '25

That smaller ball and closer three point line really makes a difference eh

-3

u/MrMelkor Jun 14 '25

You missed (not to blame you, most basketball fans don't really notice defense) that she failed to switch out or help in any way on the 3 the other team made between her first 2 3's. The first 3 was cancelled out by this poor effort IMO
