That woman didn’t move a millimeter when Clark bounced off her. Ouch.

In other news, record ticket sales for last night’s game, with Clark dropping 22 points in their third straight loss. Nine of 17, 8 assists, 6 boards.

FOUR Number 1s - they missed Aliyah Boston

"What's your claim?" - Ben Gravy
"Your best work is the work you're excited about" - Rick Rubin

I watched part of the game and Indiana is a horrible team, not sure if they'll win 10 games this year. Aliyah sure hasn't looked like a #1 so far this season so maybe she can use a Donny Iris game intro.

I am not a big Caitlin fan, but in her defense her team has pretty much sucked for awhile. You usually don't get #1 picks after winning the championship last year. She has not looked all that impressive yet, but she is playing with some tough and more experienced players. Welcome to the bigs rook. I am not too sure she will rise to dominate like she did in college, but I think she will be alright as a journeyman player.

She isn't that big, that fast or that tough. She can shoot pretty good though. I saw her whine for fouls several times in the playoffs so bad her dad in the stands told her to shut up on national TV. She is going to get banged around a lot which seems to influence her game. Now it seems she is just another player on a average team with a big target on her back. Hope she can adjust soon cause it sure ain't pretty now. She sure did run in to a wall on the posted clip. Oops.

"..... but I think she will be alright as a journeyman player."

In her first 3 games her stats are: 17ppg, 4.3rpg, 5.7apg and you think she'll be "alright as a journeyman player."

Okay.

Yea I have to agree with you. Her stats last game were stout. And she’s only played teams that have gone to the semis the season prior.

I think she’ll adjust just fine and lead the fever to far more than 10 wins.

Ouch. Welcome to the big leagues indeed.

Ultimately she'll very likely be far better than a journeyman. The question is will she be a Jordan or LeBron? Or will she be a Jerry Stackhouse or Stephon Marbury?

I wonder how this will go over in the locker room.

There's a reason they were selecting number one overall

I wonder how many players dominate right out of the gate?

Jabar - 29/15/4
Jordan - 28/7/6
Shaq - 23/14/2

Then you've got Steph Curry, who went 18/4/6 but peaked at 32 ppg a decade later. He also more than doubled the number of 3s per season. Though he's not considered a top 10 all time player, he is seen as the #2 PG of all time by many.


EDIT: Those are 1st season stats, not 1st game.

Allen Iverson - 30 pts, 2 rebounds, 6 assists; 11/1/1996 vs MIL

If this accurate then her actions are very Jordanesque but until the female Pippen and Jackson comes along she's stuck with a bad team.

Or for only four years till her contract is up.

Reese is a good player, but this just made me think about how, in the era of metrics and analytics, sports media will come up with any stat over any random period of time or number of games, and tout it as a new record.

Reese had 9 rebounds in one game. Impressive. She had 3 in another game. Not as impressive. So let's put them together and talk about a 2 game record! Hooray!!!


Just as an announcement, Michael Jordan and I set a record for the most NBA titles between a professional basketball player and a middle-aged white guy with no ties to the NBA whatsoever. Hooray!!!

Hey, if she turns into a dominant player, then I and the 6 teams that passed on her can eat crow.

Not so fast my friend, Jordan and I held that record.

Just had to watch a few minutes of Clark’s game waiting for it to end before ESPN switched to the coverage for the Canucks and Oilers.


I don’t care how great she is relative to her peers I will never understand the appeal from an entertainment perspective. Women’s basketball is just awful to watch.

Just saw that she has signed a basketball line with Wilson, first one since Jordan to do so. And thus far her games are still selling out and tickets are actually being scalped.. Just imagine if her team was actually winning!!!! Certainly she is breaking new ground for herself, her team, and the league in finances. Maybe they can take some of those new found riches and get a couple more good players to complement that team...

Awww, poor Ham. I hope you've recovered from this trauma.
