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