I've never seen either play but if they are fun to watch it doesn't matter. That's why is you watch MJ it's just different. He held people's attention with the style. It was more than just moves and skill set. Mahomes is the same way. People may have similar numbers, but he plays the game in a way that keeps you wanting more.

Logo threes and solid fundamentals are fine, but those things alone won't retain viewers long-term.

The next evolutionary step for the game will hopefully be a player who can easily play above the rim and physically dominate, like a female Shaq. No more barely dunking with one outstretched hand despite standing 6'-7"...it's time for 2-hand power dunks from a standstill.

You mean like plum and ionescu who were excellent college players with barely the buzz of clark? Clark gets buzz because of how she plays. Steph wasn’t necessarily the best in the game but he was exciting to watch. Trying to compare clark to someone like juju is like comparing Steph to Shai.

Clark hasn't won anything to be compared to Steph tbh. And Ionescu got herself a big bag with Nike so she certainly got some privileges.

Clark is a loser. That's not a criticism it's a fact. We'll see if she changes that in the wnba now.

Was Mahomes a "loser" coming out of college? By your logic, he'd have to be.

So Steph was a loser too? Mahomes? Should we go on?

Two National Championship teams with Clark being the only Iowa player in the top 6 playing in the game...

You look stupid.

I'd never heard of Reese until she ran her mouth to Clark. That's her big claim to fame. I didn't know who Caitlin Clark was until this thread and then heard a bunch more about her in the media.

Iowa/Clark has the top 3 most viewed WNCAA games in history. They also have the 6th highest viewed game in history. LSU and Reese have the 3rd and 6th highest rated games, but it's only because they played Clark. Without Clark women's college basketball is the same boring crap it always is. Clark has eyes on the WNBA. If Clark wasn't around and it was Reese as the biggest WNBA rookie, then people still wouldn't care. Clark has done more for those girls than anyone and they're gonna talk shit about her. Hell Reese doesn't get near the amount of money for endorsements if Clark doesn't exist.

Race is a factor.

There's a never ending list of comments from angry black women on social media to prove it. If even half of them would buy something to support Juju or Keleena they'll have more than enough leverage and demand to knock down a shoe deal right away.

My money would be on it not happening, because it's easier to just bitch about something than to actually do anything.

She lost two finals. That by definition is a loser. Take emotion out of it and just look at the FACTS.

Clark got her deals due to her talent right? So all I'm saying is if it's all about "talent" then Juju and Kaleena should expect similar deals in the years to come. If that's not how it goes then I guess it would come down to that same old thing again called white privilege. But we'll see. I actually would be surprised if they don't get what they deserve as their talent is just too overwhelming to be ignored.
