The WNBA would take a huge hit without Clark. They wouldn't notice much without Reese. Reese needs Clark, Clark doesn't need Reese.

There are about 450 roster spots across teams in the NBA. In the WNBA that number is about 150.

She was 13th in scoring. That would be equivalent to 39th in scoring. NBA player in that range Julius Randle is 40th in scoring and is near a max deal. She didn’t play like a scrub even a little is the point.

I believe she was actually 14th in scoring, but that doesn't substantially diminish your point.

Not to threadjack, but did anyone see the CC video with Kelly Korda? It was..... interesting....

I’ve seen the one with Cunningham and I’d be an even bigger CC fan if true for all sorts of reasons that would simultaneously cave and rivalry forum this thing.

17.5 points a game last year for Chicago. Nobody would take her in 2023 and she’s in Mexico now I think. Insane offensive production and not terrible on defense for entire league to say “no thanks”.


To give even more context to how crazy this girl must be. The NFL kept giving Antonio Brown chances until he finally took his pads off during a crazy moment and walked off the field and now he is wanted for Murder. This girl must be crazy.

Unfortunately this board is full of closet CC fans, so they are pissed about that.
People can recognize that she is a one trick pony, who is terrible shooting point blank layups, who is more concerned about her social media presence than she is about improving in the game that she is paid to play without it having anything to do with Clark.

I am probably as big of a hawk hater as anyone here, but that doesn't cloud my judgement that Reese is a terrible shooter even from 3 feet.

Interesting, I knew this would be the perfect way to judge it.

It's hard for me to personally know if I'm less interested because of Clark's injury or less interested because I've followed every minute of the Pacers season on radio or tv (over 100 games now) and it's easily the most entertaining season/team I've ever followed in any sport in my life. ESPN has great story today about Clark and Tyrese: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id...lin-clark-most-powerful-friendship-basketball

WNBA basically replaced MLB for me after NBA finals last year because my baseball fandom had been waning for years anyway. It's a great spot after NBA Finals and before college football which are my favorite two things and just have that small 2 month break every year. I watched Fever to see the ups and downs but mostly ups of CC and then I adopted Lynx because Cyclones. I'm sure once NBA is over I'll follow it again even if CC somehow gets hurt but I'm sure the vast majority are one player fans, it's a LOT like Tiger Woods and golf.

I am only asking because you took the time to check. Was there any other big name Bulls not playing in the game 1 vs. Game 2?

In that era there definitely were "bad boy" players who drew crowds and he was one of them even the San Antonio years.

I went to a Bulls game vs Iverson at the United Center in 2003 and I'm not exaggerating the arena was half full of young women freaking out in love with Iverson like it was Beatlemania. The cheers of women in love with him were easily louder than home team cheers, granted Bulls were horrible then but still sold out most games.
