LeBron James & Sue Bird DESTROY WNBA Bullies Over Caitlin Clark and Clark Throws TANTRUM!

for for Coach sides in this team Clark comes back at answers I saw the adjustment when you're not seeing them mark from way out to carries it more on the offensive end three players in double figers park again with another three the Indiana Fever have clinched a playoff spot thanks to the Stellar performances of Aaliyah Boston and Caitlyn Clark they showed no signs of slowing down crushing the Los Angeles Sparks for their 18th win of the season it a swipe Clark step back hits a [Applause] three five triples Caitlyn go ahead and shoot till your arm falls off and Mitchell knocks that one away here comes Clark going the other way Clark going behind the back oh it's Boston an n one did you know you were one rebound away from your second triple double of course I knew but honestly like we were just trying to get stops I thought our defense got a lot better there at the end of the game um but we need to find a way to be consistent there for fourth quart four quarters so I'm proud of our group we found a way to get it done um but somebody had to get the rebound so a was joking we always joke about stealing each other's rebounds so it's funny it's up it won't go Clark pulls it down and this building knows what that means Kelsey Mitchell despite strong effort from Odyssey Sims and Derk a ham the Sparks were no match for the fever's determination Caitlyn Clark once again proved why she's a standout player in this game Clark set three new records she notched her second career triple double with 24 points 10 rebounds and 10 assists in 40 minutes her impressive play included three steals which helped keep the Sparks from Gaining momentum came in with the expectation that this is what's going to happen like for me this isn't like a party like yeah it's great I feel like it's a great accomplishment but like there's so much more left to be done like yeah we made the playoffs there's six regular season games I mean I'm not just happy to be in the playoffs I think we have the type of team that can win and Advance um going one game at a time so I think that's what it is for for all of us is like yes celebrate it enjoy it like it is really huge for this organization um not having been to the playoffs since Tama was here if I'm not mistaken so uh it's been a long time um and I think I'm definitely most happy for Kel like kelse has been with this been at this play for seven years and you know has never been to the playoffs so she definitely deserves this moment and obviously she's been playing really good basketball too so uh she's definitely you know help us helped us earn it Clark also made four three-pointers becoming the fastest player to hit 100 threes according to stat Mamba additionally she is the only player to record 200 assists and 103p pointers in the same season too close but hey we got it done crd was good well W it to the end for us so proud of us you get it you know what's coming next bow bow bow get tired you see the way I run I just Sprint all the time all the Sprint I Sprint everywhere I Sprint in my apartment I Sprint I just Sprint love sprinting even though Odyssey Sims scored 20 points in diam added 16 Clark's late game defensive play was crucial she intercepted a pass from Kia nurse and made an outlet pass to Aaliyah Boston securing the victory CLK and the fever are peing as the playoffs approach 99% all rookies get the same treatment there's a few that's coming through history you with them when LeBron came they got the yapping get them out of here all of them M seon all of them right now off limits but I'm saying I just don't think that that was ever going on in the league I think it was just a new environment for her and now she's figured it out when you was coming up you was the best right every team had to send all kind of Defenders all kind of distractions at you right so when you in the game and the trying to get a rouse out of you do you ignore that like Caitlyn is doing out there yeah no I just do the same thing that Caitlin doing so when you built from that you got to wave that off like she bumped her she could have turned around and being like yo what's going on but this my house we just beat y'all ass oh thank you for the the little kiss you just gave me now take that ass on to the Jet and think about what I just did to you as a rookie it's going to be a long 10 years for these girls out there they don't get their together get that hate out they heart she not going to take it easy on y'all no more I wouldn't besides setting records Clark leads the league and assists with 8.4 per game however subir NBA legend emphasized that The Fever success is also due to other key players like Kelsey Mitchell bird highlighted Mitchell's impressive shooting streak in a recent episode of her podcast praising the fever's overall team effort what do you think of what's going on with that rivalry I love it I love it um I think basketball in in in the women's game we've had rivalries for forever you know we've had competitiveness we've had trash talk you name it it just wasn't getting the looks it wasn't getting you know people weren't covering it so the fact that these two they literally stole the college stage both with their play and their trash talk and then they're taking it into the WNBA it's just going to mean good things for the for the rest of the the the landscape of women's basketball so I'm all for it I think it's great um they've come in and then they've taken over is you're going to have some stretches that don't go your way you're going to shoot bad your team's going to lose and and how do you respond to that so I'm sure she would would like those two games back everybody's clearly got their defensive game plan built around her which is a compliment um but you got to figure it out from there definitely uh let's not forget that she probably has arguably the most pressure that any you know women's basketball player has ever had coming into the WNBA I mean sometimes it feels like the weight of the WNBA is on her shoulders um that is both like I said earlier a compliment and warranted in a lot of ways uh but also maybe a little bit unfair to put so much on History to achieve multiple triple doubles as the fever gear up for the playoffs Robert Griffin I I suggest Clark could be a strong Contender for Rookie of the Year and possibly MVP subd has also defended Clark against critics urging people to appreciate Clark's remarkable performances there's been some people that that have you know basically put her at the top of the mountain right away and I think that does feel disrespectful to to current WNBA players um but at the end of the day I mean sometimes these conversations are good for sports like you want people going back and forth even though it can be hard for the athlete at times I think it is good longterm for the sport um but now everybody's saying the WNBA is obvious a legitimate professional League I don't know what people expected you know Diana kind of touched on this it's basically it's the adult grown woman part of this people you know have been playing this game for a long time yeah and she took a lot of heat you're talking to Diana about Diana terasi by the way your mega cast the two of you together lot of fun Sue by the way for that you're very welcome uh she took a lot of heat for saying reality is coming um and kind of proven correct over the first two again this is just it's a long League we're marathoning we're not sprinting but nobody was questioning Caitlyn's ability nobody was questioning Caitlyn's popularity what she's done for the sport How Could you um I think at the end of the day it's just competitive athletes talking about what they've already been through LeBron James has expressed his support for Clark on social media celebrating her latest triple double and suggesting that if the fever keep up their play they could be serious Championship contenders he compared Clark's debut hype to his own highlighting the excitement surrounding her entrance into the league coach Kurt Miller of the Sparks has also praised Clark drawing comparisons to past WNBA Legends like sub bird and Becky Hammond Miller acknowledges Clark's unique skills and contributions to the game noting that she combines elements from some of the best players in the League's history since her return from the Olympics Caitlyn Clark has been nothing short of spectacular go ahead and look everywhere you turn Indiana Fever is breaking records all Cheryl swoops did was validate all the speculation that there's folks hating on Caitlyn Clark that's she did because to know basketball like Cheryl swoops does to be as accomplished as she is to be the Hall of Famer that she is all alkalides that are welld deserved and I'm certainly not attacking Cheryl SW the person because I think she's a wonderful person how do you talk about the Indiana Fever and mention a multitude of players and not one of them is Caitlyn Clark who by the way as a rookie leading the league in assist how do you do that I told y'all that I've argu argued with the great Andrea Carter outstanding analyst for ESP right here on this podcast I've argued with Jana ogum who's an outstanding basketball analyst and Monica mcnut the one of the voice preeminent voices of the New York Knicks and what she's doing with her career they know they got my support all love but I'm waiting for you to say I was right Caitlin Clark can ball she should have been on Team USA she snagged the Rookie of the month award twice and earned Eastern Conference player of the week honors for two consecutive weeks in the fever's recent four-game winning streak Clark averaged 24.3 points and nine assists per game game this impressive performance has helped the fever turn their season around going from a shaky one to eight to an impressive 168 record Clark's three-point shooting is drawing comparisons to WNBA Legend Becky Hammond Clark averages 8.73 Point attempts per game similar to Hammond stats from her 11 Seasons however Clark's shooting stands out she's hitting 47.1% of her three-pointers without any assistance showcasing her ability to create her own shots from deep but Clark's impact goes beyond her Sharp Shooting she's also redefining the role of a with her passing skills Clark leads the WNBA in assists with 8.4 per game and holds the record for the most double doubles in a season by a guard her playmaking and fast-paced style are reminiscent of Sue bird who was known for her exceptional control of the game and precise passing coach Kurt Miller Praises Clark calling her one of the most outstanding rookies in league history Caitlyn Clark isn't just a rookie she's a star player in this league Miller said the level of her rookie season is truly remarkable as the playoffs approach Clark shows no signs of slowing down with accolades and impressive stats to her name she continues to lead the fever with unmatched skill and determination LeBron James and Su Bird's endorsements are welld deserved reflecting Clark's extraordinary talent and her pivotal role in her team success
