  Speaker 1: By the way, speaking of basketball, Caitlyn Clark now has
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: the rookie record the history of the WNBA as she's
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: now going to try to set the all time record.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: But twelve games to go. Now, this is happening exactly
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: how I scripted it. I told you this is going.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: They loaded up the schedule front end, front loaded Caitlyn
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Clark on a bad team, you know, the worst team
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: because they drafted her number one. They were going to
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: load up against better competition. And she played an entire
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: college basketball season and she didn't play well. And I
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: said at the time she didn't deserve to be on
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the Olympic team. And at the time I felt that,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: but she got rest, the schedule not as demanding, and
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: now you're seeing Caitlyn Clark. And for everybody who talked about, oh,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: you know, she's just a shooter's going she's already set
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the all time rookie assist record for somebody who's the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: greatest scorer in college basketball history, and she is an
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: increased See I think that was lost on a lot
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: of people. Her ability to be able to find the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: open person, it's something that you're born with and if
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: you're one of her teammates and she's coming in and
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I said at the time, she will try to ingratiate
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: herself as a teammate by passing first instead of shooting first.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: And that's exactly what's happened. And she's played incredibly well.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: They've played incredibly well, and I know we want to
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: make this the rookie of the Year debate. Angel Reese
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: is a wonderful player. She just had twenty rebounds. She's
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: a double double guarantee. Absolutely, But anybody who tries to
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: sell you on this is selling you on something to
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: get clicks. That's all this is there. This is a phenomenon.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark is a phenomenon. And if I said to
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: any of these people who think Caitlyn Clark is not
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the rookie of the Year, I'd say, who would you
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: want to start your franchise with. Now, I'm not going
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: to put Asia Wilson in there. I'm just saying between
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: these two, Angel Reese is a wonderful player, but she
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: does not compare to what and who Caitlin Clark is
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: when she's on the basketball floor, plain and simple. But
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: we want to make it a debate, and I think
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: that that's just to get clicks. And look, Angel Reese,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: there's nothing that she does where you go did you
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: see her other than she plays really, really hard, and
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I liken her game to Moses Malone. Moses Malone was relentless.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: So it's not that I don't appreciate who she is
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: or how she plays. There is no one, no one
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: like Caitlin Clark in the history of the WNBA. I mean,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: you had somebody who was the all time leading scorer
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: in college basketball history who plays for Las Vegas, and
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: nobody talked about her. Nobody talked about Kelsey, wonderful player,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Nobody talked about her. Caitlin Clark is just different. And
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you saw that yesterday again they beat a good team
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: and she was great. But her ability to get her
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: teammates involved is what's going to stand out to me
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: with the rookie season, to remind you of just how
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: great she is seeing the floor yes point and.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: How much does the WNBA like it. The na Fever
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: look like they're going to make the playoffs. They've been winning.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: They're in the seventh spot right now. If the playoffs
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: were now, the first round would be Connecticut Sun versus
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Indiana fever and that's pretty good. That will play nashally well.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: That was the first game of the season of her career. Yeah,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: it was against Connecticut. Yes, Marvin.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: And next season the WNBA All Star Game is going
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: to be in Indianapolis.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Is that a good thing? I don't Paulie said, no.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I didn't think you needed to do it. The Clark
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: goes wherever the All Star Game is. You didn't need
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: to necessarily have You don't need to grow the game
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: in Indiana. Right now, they're all good Indianapolis with the
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: state of the WNBA. I was taken Caitlin Clark and
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: brought her to another city, whatever it may be. And
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I know it's an easy it's a layup, no pun
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: to have in Indiana, They're going to get a monster turnout.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: But I'd rather have her on the road, bringing her
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: game and everyone else's game to another city.
