She's a better ball handler (well, pre-knee injuries). That's really about it. Little bit more street ball to her game.
Is this a bad thing?.......I don’t think it's good, right?

You 💯 edited my sentence you pathetic little message board loser.A. You wrote it......I edited nothing.
B. You are very triggered, personally, on this topic for some reason. So knowing that.........................Clark > Bueckers
For many, simply that she plays for UCONN.......One of the key attributes for any superstar is the ability to answer the bell EVERY day. Bad luck with injuries aside, that alone puts Clark ahead of Paige.....
The exact and complete sentence is “Paige Bueckers is, maybe now is a was, pretty special too. Prove me wrong. You’re the one triggered when you can’t be honest.A. You wrote it......I edited nothing.

I did, Again, What aspects of the game does Paige excel over Clark to make her arguably the better player? You seem to feel Clark gets the nod in Charisma, What aspects of the game do you feel Paige is superior to Clark?
@EvilMonkeyInTheCloset and @ChiPackHawk will you guys just fück already. The sexual tension between you two is making me blush.
You understand I would take CC, right? PB is a better ball handler and not as careless with the ball. Better on ball defensively. More athletic 1:1. CC is a superior long range shooter and scorer in general. CC a better passer but far too careless and it’s not all on the other player not being ready for it. Again before my comments were bastardized, I only said she was arguably a better player but could not begin to bring others to the viewership like Clark. Hardly being critical of CC.
Probably when it starts making revenue...just guessing.
Paige was a really good player and hopefully will be again, What makes comparing the 2 difficult is the surrounding talent. IMO Clark simply has to dominate the ball because Iowa has no one else that can truly run the offense, Molly is OK for short spurts but the drop off is significant. Every opponents defense starts with Clark. UConn has 4 and 5 stars at every position. It’s truly pick your poison.
If you remove Clark and put a healthy Paige at Iowa does Iowa make the final four? I dunno, If you take away Paige and add Clark does UConn miss a beat, Not at all IMO.
It tells you that women's viewership is at an all time high which is great but comparing an elite 8 game which means everything to these teams to 1 of 82 regular season games that means very little is just stupid. NBA is like MLB where the regular season is just there to punch a ticket to the playoffs
How about we look at the NBA conference semifinal tv ratings so at least it's a somewhat valid comparison, even though those are best of seven and not a do or die single game like college
That’s exactly what I was going to say. This wasn’t a regular season game. Heck most nba players don’t really start playing until the playoffs begin.
I don't know what you are basing "Paige Bueckers is better" on, but generally speaking you need to be playing games to get that distinction. But she is very good, when she is healthy.
Unless the WNBA changes it's financial situation very quickly, Clark is going to stay in college ball as long as she possibly can. She will get 10 times the exposure in college than she will the NBA and, honestly, the WNBA should want her to stay as well because if she can sustain this level of play for two more years her fan base will grow and the WNBA can use that to try and draw more people to their games. They just need to figure out a way to land Clark in a large market like Chicago or LA and not some small market team in Minnesota or Seattle. BTW - I realize Seattle actually is one of the biggest WNBA supporting cities but they are still a small market and the WNBA needs to grow the sport in a place with room to grow, not one that is probably near the peak of support it is going to get.
Actually - the comment was "she may be arguably better" but that is irrelevant. My initial comment had to do with CC being able to draw more attention to the tv and game even though there may be a similar talent. As threads tend to go, the initial intent was watered down, you may even say intentionally.
Apology accepted - now go get your shine box!
Pretty sheltered life you lead if you haven't seen Goodfellas.
Nah, that won't be necessary.
Iowa women's basketball > regular season NBA (the top men's professional basketball league in the world) #confirmed
It was just a really obscure reference from that movie....choose more wisely next time.
Hardly - get out of the closest once in a while. Important scene from a classic movie between Frank Vincent and Joe Pesci and you're calling it "a really obscure reference" is just you trying to make yourself feel better that you don't get out enough. Save it. You're just going to bury yourself with this one.It was just a really obscure reference from that movie....choose more wisely next time.
Kinda like how you buried yourself suggesting that Beuckers is/was arguably better than Clark?.............
I don't think I did because outside of Iowa you probably would get that as a discussion. This could even have been an amicable discussion if a certain party didn't feel the need to edit/leave out complete comments. Like rather than focusing on the fact I simply said even though someone like Bueckers had similar skills, they had no chance of pulling people to the TV set like Clark because her charisma sets herself apart from everyone else. Too bad you feel the need to be a dick rather than have a mature discussion. I guess that's your role on this board and lot in life. Now go get your shine box and take the L. Gangster movies don't give you nightmares, do they? There, now were even - I'm being a dick too. Ciao baby!Kinda like how you buried yourself suggesting that Beuckers is/was arguably better than Clark?.............
I don't think I did because outside of Iowa you probably would get that as a discussion. (Yeah, but most people outside Iowa are idiots when it comes to talking about Iowa, so............ This could even have been an amicable discussion if a certain party didn't feel the need to edit/leave out complete comments. Like rather than focusing on the fact I simply said even though someone like Bueckers had similar skills, they had no chance of pulling people to the TV set like Clark because her charisma sets herself apart from everyone else. (What does that have to do with you saying she's arguably better than Clark? Lol ) Too bad you feel the need to be a dick rather than have a mature discussion. I guess that's your role on this board and lot in life. Now go get your shine box and take the L. (Don't you have to hand me one first? Lol..........Oh btw, the guy who says that line in the movie..........he ends up getting wacked for saying it. Food for thought.
Pretty much exactly like you who probably has never seen PB play but think you can compare the two. The "arguably better than" comment was said to point out the fact that even though they may have equal talent, PB can't draw fans to the game. Really was a compliment to CC that triggered you for some odd reason. Are you just being obtuse? Not the angle either. Or maybe unable to be a little bit abstract in thought? And they were both whacked, by the way. Food for thought since I think you were trying to be cute and clever. Glad you introduced yourself to a classic movie. Watch the entire film next time rather than googling it. Do you work in the media? You're pretty good at manipulating content and ignoring actual statements to try and make your case. Very common these days.
Lol, you didn't read all my comments did you...........You don't have to answer that. I know you didn't.
Lol ya know, you said you were gonna start being a dick, but you've had this snarky undertone since I first replied to you and have only continued to ramp it up the angrier you get with each reply you're forced to come back with...............just sayin.
Pretty much exactly like you who probably has never seen PB (PB?) play but think you can compare the two. (Lol no I don't watch women's college basketball. Nobody's got time for that, as clearly indicated by the original intent of this thread.............) The "arguably better than" comment was said to point out the fact that even though they may have equal talent, PB (Why are you obsessed with Paige Bueckers?....................It's getting kinda creepy.) can't draw fans to the game. Really was a compliment to CC that triggered you for some odd reason. Are you just being obtuse?Not the angle either. Or maybe unable to be a little bit abstract in thought? And they were both whacked, by the way. (So?) Food for thought since I think you were trying to be cute and clever. (Well that's what you were doing with your shine box quote, so I figured I'd add some logic to the conversation. Sorry you don't like factual logic because Im the one that used it.
you work in the media? (I use to. Now I do broadcasting and coach basketball.......how bout you?
Lol ya know, you said you were gonna start being a dick, but you've had this snarky undertone since I first replied to you and have only continued to ramp it up the angrier you get with each reply you're forced to come back with...............just sayin.
@EvilMonkeyInTheCloset doesn't need to see someone play to come to a conclusion. He even said "I don't need to watch the NBA to know what's going on." Can't argue with someone who knows all about something he doesn't watch. He's like Liz Lemon's dad.
I like how you're still salty about the fact that A. CBB > NBA and B. You thought college basketball teams only run motion offense..................and were hilariously wrong.
Nice try though trying to jump in here.
Yeah we know you think college offenses are intricate, probably because the ones college teams run are way more than whatever bullshit you teach your middle schoolers/high schoolers. "No shot clock, gang, so we're going to dribble for 5 minutes then chuck up a three!"I like how you're still salty about the fact that A. CBB > NBA and B. You thought college basketball teams only run motion offense..................and were hilariously wrong.
Nice try though trying to jump in here.
Yeah that's what I thought. Keep telling people you don't have to watch something to know what's going on, clown. College offense are so detailed...lol.
Pretty much the same with NCAA refs these days.
Lol how old are you? This rage posting can't be good for your health at your age...........
