A'ja Wilson GOES NUTS After Dan Patrick DECLARES Caitlin Clark WNBA MVP! A'ja Wilson Throws TANTRUM!

difference is Caitlyn Clark I think she should be up for MVP Rookie of the Year forgone conclusion Caitlyn Clark is starting to push Asia Wilson for MVP of this league and I am not exagger excuse me exaggerating she is starting to push Asia as the best player in the league AA Wilson has been dominating the WNBA All Season leading the Las Vegas Aces with her MVP level performances but when sports Personality Dan Patrick declared rookie sensation Caitlyn Clark as his pick for WNBA MVP things took a dramatic turn Wilson didn't hold back she went nuts sparking a firestorm on social media with both players having record-breaking Seasons the question is has Clark truly outshined the reigning MVP or was Wilson's reaction Justified the fact that she is doing what she's doing and at a very high level you know it's now common place where she'll go for 26 and 12 I mean those are great numbers for any player no matter how long you've been in the league she's learned how to play the game and she said I had to learn how to play the WNBA way Dan Patrick didn't hold back when he declared Caitlyn Clark as the WNBA MVP even though she's just a rookie this statement as bold as it sounds immediately shook things up in the basketball World Patrick has a reputation for his strong opinions but this one seemed to hit a nerve especially among fans of established stars like AA Wilson his reasoning was pretty clear while Wilson May the reigning MVP and undoubtedly one of the best players in the league Clark is doing something extraordinary Patrick emphasized that Clark's impact goes beyond just rookie expectations she's a game changer someone who's transforming the entire WNBA and that in his eyes makes her the most valuable player once again I'm talking about the totality of somebody's value her value is felt every place she goes every Arena she goes now here's where things got really interesting Patrick didn't just stop at praising Clark's abilities he compared her Rise To None other than Michael Jordan that's a big statement while he acknowledged that Clark isn't as athletically dominant as Jordan was in his prime he drew parallels in terms of how they both control the game I'm going to look at this the way I did with Michael Jordan now she's not the Michael Jordan of her sport as far as athleticism playing dominating for Patrick Clark's ability to dictate the flow of a game Elevate her teammates and pull off jaw-dropping performances is reminiscent of the kind of greatness we saw with Jordan of course throwing a comparison like that into the mix stirred up a lot of controversy some people felt it was way too soon to be placing Clark in the same conversation as basketball Legends especially when she's only in her first season but Patrick stood firm saying that the way Clark is playing right now is something we can't ignore speaking of Defense you are number one in the league in blocks per game you doubled that tonight where was the emphasis for you guys defensively in the paint uh we always say Protect Vegas that's the paint and I think we kind of let them go in the first half but second half we tightened up uh and got a hold of it and then it started open up for us on the other end AA Wilson has been nothing short of Unstoppable this season proving why she's the reigning MVP of the WNBA she's led the Las Vegas Aces to the top of the league with her incredible performance on both ends of the Court Dums it to Wilson unselfish play Wilson's stats speak for themselves averaging around 27 points per game pulling down double digigit rebounds and dominating defensive with blocks and Steels her presence in the paint is undeniable and she's consistently one of the most feared players to face but it's not just her stats that make her so special it's her leadership Wilson has been the heart and soul of the aces pushing her team to stay competitive every game guiding them toward another deep playoff run I get y'all saying best player in the world that's great it looks great but I want to be the best person I want to be the best teammate cuz that's how I get the best out of my team so when it comes to wins loss is when I tell you I break this game down piece by piece because I I don't want to be great for you guys no events but I want to be great for my team I want to be great for this franchise being the reigning MVP comes with its own set of pressures every night Wilson is expected to perform at an elite level and she's more than delivered but that constant pressure to remain the best can take its toll she's got the weight of defending her title with everyone watching and waiting for a slip up it's hard it's really really hard and I don't even know I'm crying but I love my teammates so much that I will take any hit from them good bad ugly I'm going to go out there and I'm going to try to be the best it's no wonder her emotional Outburst after Dan Patrick's comments hit so hard Wilson's put everything into this season and hearing that a rookie might be coming for her crown especially after the effort she's poured into maintaining her MVP status was bound to ignite some frustration she's been at the top and staying there especially with a rising star like Caitlyn Clark in the picture has made things more intense than ever two of those highlights I believe were a Clark Boston connection those two have been the second best scoring duo in the league behind Asia Wilson and Jackie young it has been so incredibly efficient the last time we were all together for the show we talked so much about their pick and roll together but to me the numbers bear it out they've been on terrific tears Caitlyn Clark's rookie season has been one for the history books from the moment she stepped onto the court she's been breaking records left and right averaging over 37 points per game through scoring and assists Clark has not only led the league in assists but she's also proven herself as one of the top scorers making her a dual threat on the court but it's not just about the numbers what Clark has done for the Indiana Fever is something that no one saw coming last season the fever were struggling at the bottom of the league finishing with a 13 to 27 record can't argue with those numbers the numbers don't lie men lie women lie numbers don't and that's what that said she's Neo right like they were in The Matrix messing with the machines and stuff before he got there but they needed the one and the one showed up and then it took it to a whole another level that's what she is they've been looking for her and she could bend the spoon she figured it out you need a star to break through yeah so I I hear what he's saying because there is some hate fast forward to this season and with Clark leading the way they're now playoff contenders she's elevated the entire team turning them from a struggling Fran into one of the hottest teams in the WNBA you just read them numbers read them numbers again please up 400% as it pertains to Draft Day viewership up 93% as it pertains to ticket revenue from 16% up 180% as it pertains to regular season viewership from 20% so all I'm saying is like and Joey talked about it uh last week about like Paving the way and and they did in some sense pave the way they got some championships and and people were watching but they not watching like they watching now so many people are from kids to grown-ups they want to see Caitlyn they want to see basketball now more people know about the rosters with women's basketball than they ever did Clark's impact doesn't stop on the court she's completely changing the game off it as well her presence has drawn massive attention to the WNBA and the viewership numbers back it up games featuring Caitlyn Clark have pulled in over a million viewers making her a key figure in boosting the League's overall visibility kayen Clark is a rookie but what she is not is invisible what she is not is ignorable and she is she's not Paving the way she's broken through and that's always the cost that you pay when you're a Trailblazer what makes Clark stand out even more is how she's shattered the expectations of what a rookie can do most rookies take time to adjust but Clark has hit the ground running playing with the Poise of a seasoned veteran and showing that she's capable of competing with the League's best including AA Wilson so what's overrated Eric you got Eric let me see your resume let me see your resume I still can't believe mother just watched Asia play all year cuz I know y'all F to say regular season award me to death and thought she was not MVP we can't have the same eyes I don't know man correct it's okay I got Finals MVP that's the real one I appreciate that one fourth place was crazy and I know who voted me for it AA Wilson's reaction to Dan Patrick's declaration that Caitlyn Clark deserved the MVP over her was nothing short of explosive imagine hearing that a rookie no matter how impressive is already being placed above you despite all the hard work you've put in to dominate The League Wilson known for her competitive Spirit didn't take the news lightly she went nuts as some would say expressing her frustration both on and off the court social media lit up with her outburst and fans were quick to pick sides some backed her saying she had every right to be upset given her incredible season others felt she was overreacting especially since Clark's performance has been undeniable two years ago their home attendance was 1,800 fans their average this year home attendance is 177,000 that's almost 10 times and of course the big difference is Caitlyn Clark but it's not just about one comment from Dan Patrick there's a lot more going on beneath the surface Wilson has been carrying the weight of defending her MVP title all season long being at the top comes with its own set of expectations and pressures and when someone new like Caitlyn Clark comes in and starts stealing the spotlight it's bound to hit a nerve no I'm just not right now right now no by the time the end of the season for sure she's going to unanimously win it wait wait hold on the only reason y'all don't want to unanimously give it to her I'm not saying look Candace Parker got it right but was can park on a great on a she got it regardless Wilson's Outburst wasn't just frustration over one statement it was a release of all the pressure she's been under to stay on top to keep proving herself as the best the WNBA MVP title is more than just an award it's a symbol of dominance and when that's threatened emotions run high at this point in time in the season Asia Wilson still holds that MVP title but I think two things can be true Asia Wilson can and likely will be MVP of the WNBA this season however the face of the league is Caitlyn Clark the MVP debate between Caitlyn Clark and AA Wilson is shaping up to be one of the most intense in recent WNBA history statistically both players are having phenomenal Seasons but they bring different strengths to the table Wilson has been a defensive Powerhouse averaging nearly 27 points per game while dominating the boards with double digit rebounds and showcasing her shot blocking ability her all-around game has kept the Las Vegas Aces at the top of the league and she's been instrumental in both offense and defense leading her team by example that much success during her rookie season but to me what is the most impressive about her game is the fact that she has been able to elevate her team so when we talk about most valuable player award I think that that's something that you have to take into account on the other hand Caitlin Clark's rookie season has been nothing short of historic she's not only leading the league in assists but also scoring at an incredible rate making her the most dangerous offensive player in the WNBA oh she don't do this she got not going to do that let her cook let her it got so bad yesterday to Seattle Storm they pulled as starters so she couldn't get that double digit assist record through three consecutive games with at least 20 points and 10 and 10 or more assist they pull their starters and then ccala Diggin uh uh I think Smith her last name she bumped into her Fed Up let her cook but if I'm Caitlyn Clark i' have told Skylar Diggin get your coat your brim and get on out of my gym let her cook I want to know what y'all saying now cuzz she is legit she's better even a she's better than I thought she would soon I thought she would be be good you and I both said she's going to be good because she got two skill sets she can score the basketball and she can assist the basketball so if one is not going the other one will but a lot of people say oh this and that let her cook y'all stop being Patty stop being Cy her ability to score from almost anywhere on the court and set up her teammates has transformed the Indiana Fever from a bottom of the league team to playoff contenders when accounting for both scoring and asss Clark has shattered expectations for what a rookie can achieve making her a strong MVP Contender despite her newcomer status just team just like like Asia's team is not dominating like it was last years right she wasn't dominating last year the team is not dominating they didn't have Chelsea gr for and they just L I'm watching them play time numers but they what I'm saying is let's just say Asia's team keeps losing but she's still balling and Caitlyn's team is winning and she's balling the tide will shift and they're going to try to push it because of the team winning When comparing the impact on their teams it's a battle of leadership and transformation Wilson has continued to lead the aces with the same dominance that won her last season's MVP title her consistency is unmatched and she Remains the Cornerstone of a team that's always in the title conversation meanwhile Clark has revitalized a franchise that was struggling just a season ago her presence has not only boosted her team's performance but also brought more eyes to the WNBA with attendance and viewership number skyrocketing whenever she plays broken records already bro what are y'all talking about she's broken WNBA records what are yall you discrediting her I'm not I'm yeah we are she has changed the game unanimous that alone as a rookie think about this a Spar up to try to bump me oh god well I'm a rookie you the bet you know how powerful I got to be for you to have that type of animosity in your heart so what are your thoughts on this let us know in the
