Ok, now I am even getting sick of myself ffs ...... Keep in mind, Jordan was not the most hyped player in the NBA in 1984. It was Hakeem Olajuwon. A great in his own right but don't forget in 1984 he wasnt even compared to Jordan - he was outright considered better. And Houston has historically been better than Chicago. Caitlin is considered a game changer right off the bat. Reese isn't considered better. Brink is only better looking. So that's the automatic built in audience right there. A great deal of those people are wearing Hawkeye yellow and gold. So Id say it's a good thing she was drafted to Indiana despite people thinking it's a bad thing. They don't have to travel far. It's still impressive tho. Those types of things go a long way. I wonder if Chicago prefers the Sky over the Bulls nowadays, and NY prefers the Liberty? Probably not but maybe their women will be more fun to watch soon.

The real interesting thing was what happened in Jordan's 3rd year where he became not just a superstar but a supernova.........next year it will be interesting to see if anyone can come close to Jordan's Pop Culture defining 3rd year: Next year - You'll have Clark with a year under her belt, Paige as a rookie (hope she ends up on Indiana ) Reese, a healthy full year Cardoso and Brink back and next year there's expansion in a shitty league so they can all pad their stats....... no one has ever averaged 30 in a WNBA season - because the league is fncking awful and not remotely athletic ........so I'm not sure where any of those young players ^ can peak at......but somebody NEEDS to peak like that - like Jordan in year #3 for anyone to really care........

Yeah, but the point is that now she's not only better than every rookie - and several veteran star guards picked for the Olympics with just a half a season under her belt........she's also waaaaaaaaaaay more fun to actually watch than anybody else in the WNBA .........at any position......ever..........pfffft

Let the pigeons loose! This dumbfuck finally gets it......... Basically giving her "the greenlight" (her words) to go full Iowa Hawkeyes-style now.......expect assists to hold, but points to increase and a lot more shots from 2 steps over half- court

So she pushed all votes higher - by multiple times - by merely bringing in new fans into stadiums who filled out more ballots this year ........ Top vote getter previously: Aja Wilson 2023 - 95, 860

Clark also became the fastest rookie in WNBA history to record 350+ points, 150+ assists and 120+ rebounds in her 22nd career game played, passing Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu, who previously owned this record in 30 games played.. So she beats that mark by 8 full games while being triple teamed ..........in all 3 statistical categories ......I mean I get the support for Angel Reese as Rookie of the Year, I like rebounds too (um, not that much)......but Reese better get those numbers up closer to ~ 15 points per game / ~ 14-15 rebounds......just sayin' fever.wnba.com/news/game-recap-fever-liberty-240706/

They can't even keep up with her stats - if you check online people are scrambling to find how often - if at all - any stat line she puts up - in EVERY game now - has ever been replicated...... This is just mindboggling shit.......the "men" (ha!) on this board who think anyone is close to what she does - Rookie or not - should be apologizing to me for their dubious POV tbh.......I do take DMs fellas, it's ok

Back in action tonight - 2 games ago she made records history.......last game she made records history...with 2 completely different stat lines both times ......can she do it again? Probably not but it'll sure look dazzling to watch her try......
