Hmmmmmm, really want to compare the girl who can't make a layup to the greatest scorer in NCAA Division 1 history - male or female because she missed ONE shot? Caitlin Clark is like your missing BAFTA or some shit, huh Chief? ![:laugh:](//storage.proboards.com/6692321/images/30ulL7PvEvGt97femFHx.gif) .......... "Let’s address the shooting percentage first because it is a legitimate knock on Reese’s performance this season -She’s shooting 40.9% from 2-point range, which is in the bottom 12% of WNBA players." Anywho - nobody talked about Marina Mabrey getting traded by the Chicago Sky........Mabrey is like a mini, lesser, more inconsistent Caitlin Clark.......and will be a big loss for Chicago imo ...........she's on Connecticut now........ ![](https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F24d8f1c8-6898-4d3e-9888-32b54aaf500e_2559x1820.jpeg)

12 people do THAT ^ every year....big deal........... only 1 person has ever done this - ever......Stay pressed Clark is the first Division I player to top 3,000 points, 1,000 assists and 800 rebounds. She's also the first Division I player to record 3,000 points and 1,000 assists in a career. She has 59 career games with at least 25 points, five assists and five rebounds — an NCAA record.![](https://thehill.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/Clark_Caitlin_032524_Getty-2105339543.jpg?w=1280)

The WNBA says Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese are their 2 biggest selling jerseys.......but they don't tell how many more Clark sold than Reese ![:laugh:](//storage.proboards.com/6692321/images/30ulL7PvEvGt97femFHx.gif) ..........and THAT is to make it look like a rivalry more than it really is......the WNBA does this "omitting" in attendance stats too - to make it look like they have "many" stars when they really don't.......but where exactly is attendance up? The top number is Caitlin Clark's team.........the bottom is Angel Reese's ![:gonemad:](//storage.proboards.com/6692321/images/1i_vReyDmEdV6yn5zMWP.gif)

This is a really good video about assists vs rebounds - and why Clark having 4x as many assists as Reese ![:gonemad:](//storage.proboards.com/6692321/images/1i_vReyDmEdV6yn5zMWP.gif) is both harder and more important than Reese's rebounds even though they are a different position (though the vid does not mention Reese).....you also have to remember in the WNBA no one has EVER scored even 28 PPG in a season - because the league is awful - so assists are a bigger deal in the WNBA and have the value of creating multiple scorers which helps you win ........ Clark is GIVING her team 16-20++ PPG just on passing so far without her scoring anything at all ......it isn't JUST that she generates more points overall (a lot).......or that those 2 stats in the case of these 2 players are "equal"........

Wtf is the "Women's Hoops Network" Co-Rookies of the month ![:confused:](//storage.proboards.com/6692321/images/ncm078wM2b_1tJcUU817.gif) - Is that like when 2 fat dudes pick "Alternative Oscars" on their blog and shit? ............ The Official Rookie of the Month For July - as named by the WNBA - is Caitlin Clark .......obviously, overwhelmingly........but thanx for making me laugh though ![:laugh:](//storage.proboards.com/6692321/images/30ulL7PvEvGt97femFHx.gif)

Who is going to get Paige Bueckers? That's the question ........Paige Bueckers will be - likely - a more efficient point guard than Clark......doesn't turn the ball over as much........but also less spectacular in what she generates - and how much of it..........that's still a year away ......but......that will be so much fun in a league that is not a lot of fun usually........assuming Paige stays healthy........Bueckers has already been spotted at WNBA games watching her buddy / rival ........they have pillow fights and brush each others hair ![:uhoh:](//storage.proboards.com/6692321/images/c8bbBnLz3a98Jzy_29H2.gif) A truer rivalry than Clark-Reese ......and Bueckers has a small(er) NIL shoe deal with Nike .........and her first one is actually out

Kevin Durant's company/platform Boardroom has selected whom they consider to be the 8 most marketable athletes in the world under-25. Both Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark make the cut, which includes Carlos Alcaraz, Kylian Mpbappe, Victor Wembenya, Anthony Edwards and Coco Gauff.

I can name 8 soccer players under 25 more marketable than Angel Reese Coco Gauff always shows up on these lists too - but like Reese piggybacks off of Clark's huge following.........Gauff actually eliminates Iga Swiatek from the list BECAUSE she's American I guess (?)..........and Coco Gauff is Iga Swiatek's bitch atm tbh.......I like her and she's appealing............. but at some point the fact that she loses on the biggest stages - Wimbledon, Olympics, & EVERY time against Iga Swiatek.......is making her marketable as "the chick who so far won one 1 US Open because her opponent melted down" ![:uhoh:](//storage.proboards.com/6692321/images/c8bbBnLz3a98Jzy_29H2.gif) ................. Iga Swiatek is 23........still struggling with English but ...........she has a lot of worldwide deals.........is a way better player - atm at least.......is sexy and photogenic af - to me anyway, ymmv............that's kind of a ridiculous omission

Maria Sharapova was Serena Williams "bitch" as an actual athlete and tennis player, but there were long stretches during their careers where Sharapova was actually regarded as the most marketable female athlete in the world (even over Serena) without ever being close to being as good or as accomplished a player as Williams. So saying Swiatek is a better player than Gauff and Gauff is her "bitch" is meaningless in marketability terms, as recent precedent has shown. Sometimes marketability comes down to being the absolute best at your sport, but clearly sometimes you just need to be good enough and have other intangibles (looks, likability, celebrity connections etc. David Beckham was another example of that in his prime, as he was never the best soccer player in the world or of his generation). Gauff has several intangibles, and she's still very young, so has time to be more consistent and win more slams. As well as being American, Gauff is just a more attractive and charismatic package than Swiatek. So it's really no shock that she's always on these lists over her.
Likewise with Reese....she isn't piggybacking Clark at all. Reese has always had a huge social media following (still more than Clark's), and leveraged her college succes and brilliance at harnessing that social media following into major interactions with the fashion, celebrity and music world. I'd actually argue that her marketability ceiling is significantly higher than Clark's. I can't really think of another female athlete in Reeses' age group who has all those intangibles, plus has elite athletic achievements to back them up ( if Emma Radacanu hadn't fallen off so drastically after her first slam win, you could have made an argument for her). Clark has the athletic achievements, but Reese is more well rounded in terms of looks, personality and outside interests. You can prefer Clark as a player all day long, but it's pretty hard to argue that Reese isn't more glamrous.
I think Reese is already reasonably well known outside America, as she was recieved like a celebrity in London and Paris over the last two weeks. She's getting Anna Wintour to take smiling selfies with her. That's the kind of thing the notoriously prickly and influential Wintour only used do for sports figures like Roger Federer.
In short, Reese has the potential to be a huge international pitchwoman, not just for athletic apparael, but for high fashion brands and a number of different kinds of brands. So her place on the Boardroom list is a no-brainer for people who actually understand what marketability is and what it encompasses.

Lots of LMAO bad takes in that reply though - I read it because I'm easily amused - comparing Maria Sharapova to Serena Williams when Sharapova IS Coco Gauff - you wouldn't leave OFF Serena Williams the way you just did Swiatek ffs ![:gonemad:](//storage.proboards.com/6692321/images/1i_vReyDmEdV6yn5zMWP.gif) -.............. but Sharapova WON 4 MORE Grand Slams.....and Sharapova was World Number 1 (never Gauff).......and Sharapova looked like THAT which Gauff and Swiatek do fucking not On the other hand I'mmina save this thread by just saying........ Maria Fncking Sharapova ammirite? ![](https://st1.photogallery.ind.sh/wp-content/uploads/indiacom/beautiful-maria-sharpova-long-legs-202002-1582780691.jpg)

Reese is not 'reasonably well known' outside the States She's being 'received like a celebrity', by other celebrities. General public outside of America does not give a shit.
