Statement first and foremost okay it’s going to be hard to read I’ll read a little bit of it um she just said while this season is far from over we got a lot more goals to achieve it will be my last one in Iowa I’m excited to be entering the 2024

WNBA draft caylin Clark an absolute Phenom an absolute Superstar an absolute legend in the making that we are witnessing in college basketball what I love about her declaring is we’re not going to sit here and try to debate her records Pistol Pete he did it in four I

Believe Caitlyn Clark she’s going to do it in four if you stay for that additional year of Eligibility due to the co year now people are going to try to undermine you people are going to try to undercut you but she was there for an additional year she played extra time

She played till she was 23 24 now we don’t have to hear any of that now we can just witness the greatness which we have all been able to behold for the last three years so I love the decision obviously it will come with a lot of scrutiny but any great is scrutinized

Joy was it the right move but more than anything what’s your reaction yeah of course it’s the right move I mean what she’s a she’s a legend already what she’s done at Iowa and for women’s basketball and Sports in general I mean she’s she’s already iconic to be able to

Beat Pistol Pete’s NCAA scoring record she got 18 points to do that that’s and Pistol Pete was bad got nickname for a reason P his mama didn’t name in Pistol Pete that’s what we call him I mean she’s had an incredible career already I don’t think it will be scrutinized for

Her to leave this is her time it’s time to step up to the pros you already have your reputation you’ve already done what you need to do in the college space it’s time to go to the pros I’m excited for her to go to Indiana by the way she’s

Going to be playing aside Aaliyah Boston the the Rookie of the Year 2023 Rookie of the Year they’re going to have a nice team there I mean that’s that’s where she’s going to go nobody’s there ain’t no Caleb Williams not go in their situation she gonna be the number one

Overall pick and it’ll be exciting to see what she does obviously in March Madness which is coming up soon but regardless she’s already cemented her name as far as one of the greatest players we’ve ever seen uh certainly in college basketball and she breaks This Record she’ll be in a complete complete

Different category and for us to be talking about Caitlyn Clark as the biggest star in all of college basketball men and women should tell you right there what she brings to the game what she brings to sports what she’s a she’s a not even a ticket everyone GNA

Be watching this game literally Lally this is this is sports history that you’re watching if you like college sports if you like sports at all this is something that people never thought they were ever going to men or women and she has 18 points to break pistol pets man alltime scoring

Record in NCAA is incredible I’m I’m going go and say it I’m going go and say it I I actually think that uh um Candace Parker was the the best female basketball player of all time Caitlyn Curry I I’m sorry Caitlyn Clark has taken over that and she is the number

One goat in college basketball and not just girls boys too she the best she the best college BK player right now out of everybody and I sat on this stage with y last year and y’all was loving angrew Reese Joy kept do her hair Ang Reese

This Ang Reese that and I said they not in the same boat not the same the difference was that one girl’s team was better and hers wasn’t and she still was out her giving out work and now you see what she doing work right and I’m standing on that that girl different

Yeah here’s the here’s the scrutiny though because as we all know and it’s been very public as of late uh the WNBA salaries they’re not going to compare with what Angel Reese can make and has been making in nil most notably uh yes Caitlin Clark has been making an

Nil most notably Brianna Stewart who’s the best college basketball player I’ve ever seen in person she came to check my behind to the Texas basketball arena to watch Rihanna Stewart play the super max deal for WNBA I believe is $242,000 yeah Caitlyn Clark is is is is

A ticket that people can’t even get to right that’s my point but the scrutiny is going to come into play there James what’s your reaction do you think the right move to declare for the WNBA draft it’s very fascinating yeah mama taught me another thing what Mama teach you I

Want be teaching when there’s nothing else to prove it’s time to go and that’s all this is right here there is nothing else for her to prove 18 points it’s a WAP the record is hers on Fox tune in it is over right she is going to break that record there’s

Nothing else for this young lady to prove you guys just touched on it men’s and women she is the best player playing the game of basketball right now in college she’s probably the hottest ticket in college manness is coming up her games are going to be packed out she

Is like that the number one draft pick is not even a question she’s going first endorsements all that she’s going to get all that there’s nothing else to prove but go to the NBA and prove that I can do it against the best players in the

World and that is why she is leaving because there is nothing for her to do at the University we we’ve never seen nothing like her we seen some good basketball players female wise right I haven’t seen that like her only person I’ve seen like her is like Steph Curry

He’s with the Warriors another thing is when I watch her play it’s like it’s only her all these other teams they teaming up you see this team this girl going to this school and they team up together and N nil money they splitting it not her just her her and

Her Squad and they beating their monster team they are I will say this though I think that she goes to the WNBA and I think she dominates maybe maybe not the first year right cuz it’s always you know hard you know the transition from one sports another but here I think when

It’s all said and done she going to be the one question I have for you Joy because College fandom and pro fandom is way different way different when you’re at a place like Iowa you probably have student body might be 30 40,000 again I’m I’m I’m guessing so Iowa fans please

Don’t come at me but you have an incubated fan base incubated you got students on campus you want to go to a game you camp out all the things the WNBA is growing it’s growing it’s growing it’s growing it’s growing it’s growing many people have been championing it none really more so than

You Joy I’ve seen you Champion it I’ve seen you at the games what’s though the tension of like Caitlin clart Phenom but it’s different in Iowa because you already have a whole built-in fan base of Iowa people and fans that love you they’re on the campus

They’re in the city when you go to the WNBA it’s different again I won’t compare Sabrina and escu to Caitlyn Clark but Sabrina escu was a Phenom yes go to WNBA I haven’t heard as much about her as I did when she was hooping in

College so speak on that for a moment of like do you think that Caitlyn Clark can be the same revolutionary name to the WNBA as she was in college cuz it’s a completely different fan base it is a different fan base it’s a different setup for the sport you’re right college

Basketball college sports in general has a very nostalgic feel to it you have you have the stories of March Madness that’s why a lot of the March Madness women’s games are higher rated than some of the men’s games because it’s it’s a lot of March Madness is the story a lot of

College basketball is the story but I think Caitlyn Clark is different I think she inspires a different type of play I think she plays very modern basketball she’s an incredible shooter pulling up from half court I think James just said her game will translate to the WNBA I

Think the attention that she’s gotten on this level the the the fact that we just re did the show to get her in because she’s announcing which was pretty much assumed that she was going to be going to the wnb just tells you the kind of inspiration that she brings look the

WNBA needs someone like a Caitlin Clark someone that but both women and men are excited to watch that are going to go and see what she can do at the next level it it is a sport that is continuing to grow but her game is very

Unique her style is very unique her swag and confidence is very unique she plays the game in a very particular way that has inspired the fandom that she has and the numbers prove it like the it’s not just that she’s a great player and exciting player there’s been lots of

Great exciting players the fact that she is about to break Pete maravich’s record for the most points scored in the NCAA history that’s that’s yeah astonishing that is that is an a testament to the type of game that she has she’ll also be going to the Indiana Fever so you know

She’ll still be in that general area I think that the fans will cross over with her to the WNBA and I think that you know the the sports continuing to grow well staying in basketball let’s go back to the Lakers after this because the Lakers had a phenomenal and I mean

Absolutely phenomenal outing yesterday coming back from down 21 in the fourth quarter but should teams fear LeBron James and the Lakers Lebron James family five made three-pointers a historical day Shady what are you doing floating what are you doing subscribe here to get the latest from speak and go watch a few
