the same question. What would it take to get 3 in a row? This has only been done once in WNBA history (by the Houston Comets). Here’s what she had to say
Candace Parker was the first and only WNBA player to win ROOKIE OF THE YEAR & MVP in the same season!!
She led rookies in scoring (18.5), blocks (2.3) & minutes and led the league in rebounds (9.5) & double-doubles.
South Carolina Woman’s Basketball team deserves better, they’re not getting enough love for my liking. They went 38-0, when this season was deemed a “rebuilding” year. If the other team won, guarantee you the media opportunities would’ve been completely different. This is nastyyy
Because 2-3 weeks ago was the first time they’ve ever watched a game. They went from saying lower the rims and hoop in lingerie to “these women are too physical”. Go figure
Made this point on the pod. She had her best shooting numbers (% wise), her freshman year. Was doing the EXACT same things she did her senior year, the media just decided to push her into the limelight when Paige went down. So again, they pick and choose who is “marketable”
You don’t hold that kind of weight in my life 😂. Let me tell you who u are affecting —the young black girls that watch a grown ass BLACK man repeatedly disrespect his black women cohost, shit on the WNBA, & then kiki Courtside. If that’s not disingenuous I don’t know what is.
One hill I’ll forever die on…. The WNBA players are the most well spoken athletes in the world 🤷🏾♀️. Most have multiple degrees since they can’t do one and done like the men. They have to fall back on their degrees and education
Remember when I tweeted “A’ja Wilson is the best player on the planet and it’s honestly not close” yesterday & people said I was being disrespectful? Thanks for proving my point last night
@_ajawilson22
. It’s really levels to this 🤷🏾♀️
And in regards to Bron’s Caitlin comments. She is bringing visibility to the game and helping it reach new heights HOWEVER only highlighting her and her outreach undermines the other talented rookies in the class that move the needle as well. Yall heard of Angel Reese?
Yall continually move the goal post. How are we considering a player that hasn’t won ATLEAST one National Championship the greatest collegiate player ever? Explain it to me like I’m 5.
Gotta respect Cam’s fearlessness in these first few games, going up against elite post players but please spare me, this was a foul 😂. Gotta go straight up 🤷🏾♀️
It’s irritating that people keep asking “why is race being brought into sports”. This is AMERICA, the most racist country on the planet. Race is embedded in literally EVERYTHING.
Yall understand what we’re witnessing. A 5’6 freshman leading her team to a victory over the 5th ranked team. YALL NOT TALKING ABOUT HANNAH ENOUGH FOR ME!
I DONT WANT TO HEAR SHIT ABOUT JUJU’S EFFICIENCY. THAT FRESHMAN PUT THE TEAM ON HER BACK AND SCORED THE LAST 9 OUT OF 10 POINTS TO ADVANCE HER TEAM TO THE ELITE 8
Was heading to my patient’s house and his wife called to tell me he passed away this morning. He was so excited about me going to the WNBA draft and wanted to see all the pictures/videos etc. He graduated from Notre Dame & simply loved WBB. Such a sweet soul. Love on your people
Happy Birthday to my mf 🐐
@Candace_Parker
. The TRUE definition of a generational talent. I appreciate everything you’ve done for the game and impressed by your ability to wear multiple hats (including the most important one: motherhood) while continuing to still live your dreams
Candace Parker was the first and only WNBA player to win ROOKIE OF THE YEAR & MVP in the same season!!
She led rookies in scoring (18.5), blocks (2.3) & minutes and led the league in rebounds (9.5) & double-doubles.
5.8 million followers. Do you realize how dangerous it is to misquote her for clicks? That wasn’t her response to the foul on Caitlin. This is nasty and will open a further floodgate of racist, misogynistic and death threats in her comments. Hope it was worth the clicks 🙄🖕🏾
I asked
@Kelseyplum10
what it would take to 3 peat? And if the 3 peat happens, does it put them in the greatest team of all time conversation with the Comets?
Chile who gave me a media pass? I was in Adam Silvers personal room. Grabbed a gift bag and a plate (thought it was the media room). One of the arena worker was like uh this is for the Commissioner. 2 seconds after trying to put everything back, Adam walks in
Me: Hey Commish 😳
Remember yall said the Fever didn’t have good players…. Kelsey Mitchell is top 3 in NCAA all time scoring with her running mate Caitlin. But I forgot, the Fever don’t have any talent 🌚
Thought I’d be able to watch a full day of basketball but the first game starts at 1:00 pm and the remainder games don’t start until 8pm? 🙄🙄. And then multiple games within that 8-10pm time frame when we could’ve staggered the games throughout the day 🙄. Sigh, Cathy
@Itz_MzCrys2U
Listen, even if people initially watch for Cc & from that realize these women can flat out hoop, I’ll take that too. Glad you got them to watch; Arike gained some new fans tonight for sure!
Yall really don’t watch hoops like yall claim. The Sky literally have 3 returning players from last season; which means 8-9 players on the roster are completely new to the team, a new HC, traded their all-star away, and starting 2 rookies. So again, What exactly are u saying?
Both games starting at 7? When there’s literally no NBA playoff games tonight. Yeahhhh the decision makers and powers that be, don’t want the WNBA to truly succeed and grow 🤷🏾♀️.
WBB family: What’s a player that would’ve cashed out if they could’ve received NIL money in college? I’ll go first. Skylar Diggins-Smith
You really just had to be there. Had Wayne in South Bend Indiana on a random Wednesday 😂. Can’t forget about the tie headbands either

Policing how a team chooses to celebrate a championship is always odd to me. Especially winning back to back, which hasn’t been done in over 20 years (in the W)
In all seriousness, I want Caitlin to do well. Her skillset is undeniable and the visibility she’s bringing to the game is unmatched. Can’t imagine the pressure she has to handle at 22. My only request is for her fans to come up for air for 2 seconds & simply enjoy the journey
Glad Skylar responded. Yall throw this “unprofessional” tag around too often, especially for people that weren’t involved in the actual situation lol. Weirdo behavior man
I asked Caitlin Clark how much attention she has paid to the controversy and conversation about what happened in the Chicago Sky game, and what her thoughts were on it.
Another Candace sighting 🌚. Yall KNOW I was hard on Angel (mainly regarding her lack of offensive bag) however, she’s shut my ass right up. Even without being adept on the offensive end right now she finds a way to rack in double doubles. Her effort & activity is unmatched
Angel Reese currently among the WNBA:
Rebounds — 4th
Steals — 5th
Double-Doubles — 5th
Only two rookies have ranked in the top 5 among all WNBA players in two or more main statistical categories and double-doubles in the past 17 seasons (Breanna Stewart, Candace Parker).
21k people watching Chicago vs Sparks on Twitter—deadass watching from their phones. Imagine how many people would actually watch if it was on….TV. Put these damn games on National TV.
Caitlin will be just fine. She’s gonna get hers and the game will eventually slow down for her; however, like we’ve (non casuals) been saying for months, it’ll be an adjustment.
Yall know im high on JuJu but Hannah definitely in the conversation for the best freshman in college basketball. What she does on both ends of the floor is incredible! Freshie is handling the immense pressure especially with a banged up team.
