NBA legends seem to be enamored by Caitlyn however there is one Legend who hasn't fully bought into the Caitlyn hype train let's kick it off with someone who can relate to the amount of pressure on Caitlyn's shoulders put your blinders on go to work show up to work punch your clock in prepare yourself work on your gang work on your craft you know kind of keep your mouth shut you know and just learn from the Vets when they ask you voice your opinion if if they want your opinion man early on LeBron went on to
say that everyone is looking for you to make a mistake and say something you shouldn't if you end up doing that they will pile on you and make it a bigger deal than it really is so it's better to stay humble and let your game do the talking and her game is quite loud in fact she has gotten comparisons to the greatest shooter of all time Steph Curry is often asked about Caitlyn and how good her game is and step has nothing but good words for her her range her three-point shooting overall her flare for
testing her range every night knowing that other team's going to try to take it away and she's fearless no shot is a bad shot and when you can shoot it as well as she can she just adds another element of surprise that you can't really game plan for because it's it's so kind of just unseen now what is amazing about what Steph just said is that is how everyone describes Curry's game Caitlyn really does seem to mirror Steph's game so much so that Luca donic even said that she is the female Steph Curry I saw
the performance we said 41 almost triple though yeah he Sho let that that ball fly uh I watched a little bit uh but then I had to do some treatment so but it was am I watched the first half but she got to go in the second half so I didn't watch that that it's more Steph Curry man it's a woman Steph Curry Luca even said that Caitlyn can shoot it better than him now you know that's High Praise when you see how well Luca shoots the ball from every spot on the court but like
they say game recognizes game and speaking of recognizing greatness Shaq went as far as to call her the greatest female college player of all time you are yeah but she's incredible congratulations to her and her family like the crazy thing is I'm I'm just seeing her last year when they uh played LSU but she she's phenomenal I I'm a going to record say she's the best female Collegiate player ever well Charles Barkley could only describe her as a monster on the court on the night that's a heat check right there 49 yeah W my God
hey congratulations Caitlyn Clark you are a monster girl you are incredible and she is living up to all the height she became the fourth WNBA player and the first rookie to record 30 points five rebounds six assists three Steals and three blocks in a single game in this same game she surpassed 100 points and 50 assists becoming the fastest rookie to achieve this in WNBA history she was awarded the wnba's Rookie of the Month in May averaging 17.6 points 6.6 assists and 5.1 rebounds per game during that month not only this but it's seems as
if every week she breaks another viewership record her star power is something Gilbert Arena can't help but stress when speaking about her greatness with her in the league five games into it we sold more merchon us all of last year no matter how we feel about the attention she's getting our is being sold people are watching us now the fact that she's making the league more popular for the masses it's been in you guys now of course Caitlin has been part of several controversial moments during the season mostly because of how other WNBA players have
been reacting to her but instead of seeing this as a negative Kevin Garnett sees this type of attitude as a sign of respect he believes other players are afraid of her I'm watching shorty Kaylin Clark go through I'm watching all man rookies you're going to go through some and guess what when you're it when you got the Bulls out of the back yeah when you w it's going to come with some yeah yeah ain't nobody's hitting y'all with the with the step back in the high yeah it's a compliment yeah you fair now for anyone
who has been following Caitlyn's career for a while you know she plays with a ton of emotion sometimes they do get the best of her however Carmelo Anthony doesn't think that is a bad thing instead he believes the type of emotion is what makes her different we not used to seeing women emotion like in the public like that in a sport like that like we used to being proper and you know and having sportsmanship and like you you Pi you found somebody you pick them up and say I'm sorry like we women like we you
know what I mean we this is what we do but basketball is different since entering the WNBA many people have made the comparison between Caitlyn Clark and Angel Reese to Magic and bird in the same way that magic and Bird's rivalry elevated the NBA and made it a household sport Clark and Reese could do the same for the WNBA at least that's what NBA legend Magic Johnson believes these WNBA players Angel ree Caitlyn Clark who many are saying are the Larry Bird and Magic Johnson of the WNBA do you like that when you hear that
I like it and they are now we all know Caitlyn is Magic in this scenario thanks to her incredible passing ability heck she resembles more bird than Reese as well so maybe she is both a bit of magic and bird two people who seem to agree with magic sentiment that we are seeing the next magican bird are Draymond Green and Derek fiser it's almost Eerie how history repeats itself Magic Johnson and Larry Bird coming into the league after playing in the NCAA title game some of the underlying social things around a white player and a
black player yeah like you're you're seeing a little bit of that angel Reese and kayln Clark kayln was left off of the American women's basketball Olympic team it's almost as if they were appeasing the WNBA vets and showing favoritism this confused the entire basketball World Michael Jordan and the Dream Team famously used the Olympics to make basketball a global game and many believe that the women's organization is messing up by not including Caitlyn Paul Pierce doesn't always have the most rational of takes but the fact that he is the voice of reason should speak volumes
about the subject you claim you want the women's game to grow and then you keep the most popular girl in women's basketball off the team how do you grow internationally and domestically if you don't put her on the US team it just makes the most sense sometimes you have to say hey you guys this is bigger than the game what it is however Reggie Miller believes the committee made the right decision by leaving Caitlin off the team because she is not one of the best players in the world in fact he went as far as
to say it was a disservice to even name her in the top 15 you're right she's not one of the 12 best and on top of that I think they did her a disservice by like naming her early on like she was part of the top 15 or 20 that was a dis service to her because it got her fan base all riled up she automatically should make the team but if you listen to Kevin Durant talk about Caitlyn's game then you would certainly get the impression that she is one of the best players on
the planet it didn't take long for him to realize that he was watching the best player in the country always had the ball in her hands everybody was playing off of her she just commanded the whole game I like who the hell is this she is nice he was like oh she the best player in the country I was like oh damn I see it now like you like when you walk in you don't even know who anybody is and they just like yo that's the best player in the country right there just like yo
that hits you out of nowhere like let me really focus in on her now it is clear that NBA players are enamored with Caitlyn they recognize her greatness and also understand the pressure that is on her shoulders so far Caitlyn has not only lived up to the hype but has surpassed it was recording breaking plays it seems as if she really will be once in a gen generation type player
