Speaker 1: I want to give a quick shout out to Caitlyn
Speaker 1: Clark and the Indiana Fever, who hosted the Brazilian national
Speaker 1: team in Iowa yesterday. The event was a sold out
Speaker 1: home coming for Clark as the WNBA preseason tipped off
Speaker 1: this weekend. The Indiana Fever beat the Brazilian team one
Speaker 1: hundred and eight to forty four, capped off by Clark
Speaker 1: making a thirty six foot three pointer. Okay, that was
Speaker 1: the same spot on the court that has her number
Speaker 1: twenty two logo affixed, and the same spot where she
Speaker 1: broke the NCAA women's basketball career scoring record last year.
Speaker 1: She finished the exhibition game Sunday with sixteen points, five assis,
Speaker 1: and six rebounds. Caitlyn Clark is the real deal. Get
Speaker 1: let me get that out the way first. I got
Speaker 1: a lot of respect, a lot of love for this
Speaker 1: young young lady. I think she's spectacular. I think she's
Speaker 1: box office. I think she should have been easily, easily embraced,
Speaker 1: and that wasn't the case last year. Just to remind
Speaker 1: y'all who she is, I'm just gonna read off some
Speaker 1: numbers because you see this. To me, this year, she's
Speaker 1: going to be better last year as a rookie, fresh
Speaker 1: off of going to the National Championship Game and losing
Speaker 1: to South Carolina and then playing less than two months
Speaker 1: later her first professional season as a w NBA rookie,
Speaker 1: she was the unanimous Rookie of the Year. She was
Speaker 1: an All WNBA first teamer. She finished fourth in league
Speaker 1: MVP voting. She started all forty regular season games for
Speaker 1: the Fever and had a groundbreaking year marked by numerous
Speaker 1: w NBA records. She finished the regular season leading rookies
Speaker 1: in scoring, field goals made, three point field goals made, assists, steals,
Speaker 1: and minutes played. She ended up setting regular season WNBA
Speaker 1: records for assist in the season with three hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty seven, with three hundred and thirty seven points scored
Speaker 1: or assisted on in a season with one thy, five
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty points by a rookie with seven hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty nine, and three point field goals by a
Speaker 1: rookie with one hundred and twenty two. By the way,
Speaker 1: she was box office sold out more than anybody, helped
Speaker 1: massively increase WNBA ratings, and the only thing stupid that
Speaker 1: happened with her is Team USA not putting on the
Speaker 1: damn team. She's that special, ladies and gentlemen, And that
Speaker 1: was year one. This time around, she's got more rest
Speaker 1: and she got to had an entire offseason to prepare
Speaker 1: for this full WNBA season that's about to come on.
Speaker 1: She's special. She's special. And oh, by the way, Paige
Speaker 1: Beckets from Yukon, who's now in Dallas, even though her
Speaker 1: team may not be that good, she's gonna be special too.
Speaker 1: And I can't wait until my girl Juju Watkins comes
Speaker 1: out of college because when she gets herself healthy and
Speaker 1: she's on the pro level, look the hell out because
Speaker 1: she is spectacular. I can't wait till she gets to
Speaker 1: the WNBA. WNBA is it? It's it? It's worthy of
Speaker 1: being talked about on an everyday basis. To mcgirl, Shaney
Speaker 1: Ogooma k from ESPN Andrea Carter from ESPN, are you
Speaker 1: happy now I'm talking about the end of the w
Speaker 1: NBA even though I've been talking about it, Janey, she
Speaker 1: keeps telling me, y'all, I gotta get the games. When
Speaker 1: youre gonna get to the gayete, when you're gonna get
Speaker 1: the game, Well, I need a course, I see, I've
Speaker 1: had a couple of NBA games over the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks. I sat courtside for both games. How Come
Speaker 1: I got how come I'm having trouble getting the court
Speaker 1: side seat to w NBA games, But I ain't got
Speaker 1: no trouble getting the court side seat the NBA games.
