I wonder if WBB will ever experience another player with the combination of flair, brashness, confidence, personality, and talent of CC?
ESPN: Caitlin Clark
- Thread starter EagleHawk
- Start date
Going to have to read this in chunks. The writer can write. Loved this line: “Fame is a warm saccharine glow that obscures the terminal velocity of expectation.”
I think that is part of the beauty of Caitlin and a lot of these elite athletes (women or otherwise) - they're learning to seize their destiny ... and then they're doing it. For too long, women have been relegated ... so its terrific to see the nature of potential role-models pivoting.
its the legal age in the country your in that matters.The Great Croatian Booze Cruise. Was Kennise Johnson of legal age? Wait, is Uncle Sam's arm of the law long enough to reach Dubrovnik?
Did anyone else hear Wright Thompson's narration in your head as you read it, lol? He's got a great voice and he can write a little bit too.
I don’t mean to stir this up again. But you see CC not cheer for O’Grady in this video. Says a lot…
Haha. Kinda splitting hairs. I wouldn't call Kate Martin's reaction much either... Nit-picking
To be fair, it doesn't look like Martin & Marshall clap for her initially either. This is also a 10 second clip & she could have been recognized for her contribution previously to this.
Intensely bullied? You must have read a different article than I did.
EVERY Iowa fan should watch this interview where Wright Thompson talks about Caitlin. Just really great stuff
“ The main object of her scorn was a sophomore named Addison O'Grady, No. 44, who had become a bit of a punching bag. ”
Did you really not think that Caitlin got after her teammates until this article came out?
You ever heard what Kobe and MJ’s teammates have said they were like in practice?
Caitlin is the woman’s game’s version of these players. She makes an above average cast a great team
Many just don't seem to get that. You don't get a talent of this magnitude EVER, who's going to be Miss goodie two shoes. Its crazy for people to think that someone that talented or visionary doesn't struggle to comprehend why others don't see what she see's. I'll bet the great composers thought their contemporaries were tone deaf idiots.....
Obviously Bluder was on her too, since at the beginning of the year she was a starter, and then benched and got very little playing time during the year.
Yes. This will definitely happen. Right now there are girls (and boys) watching every move she makes and practicing playing that way. You will see someone with her step back 3 they've been practicing for years. They may not be able to do everything as well as Clark does, but they will certainly try. They might even end up playing for Iowa.
