Oh I'll bet she's going to try branding the hell out of that.

***EDIT: She already has, lol.



"Part" of the proceeds going to a good cause. Would be interested to know how big that "part" is.


Yeah, I saw that "part" thing to. Made me laugh.

Also what kind of charity is cyber bullying? How can that be stopped. It’s the internet. People will say what they are going to say

My brother who lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and couldn’t care less about Iowa basketball has become a WNBA fan because of Caitlin Clark. He just randomly talks about her because he likes her brand of basketball, namely, Great outside shooting, cutting to the basket, and passing.

Jordan could miss a game(s). Bull's attendence drop, minimal, if that.
CC misses a game(s), big/huge drop.
Blows my mind that clone's us, can't appreciate a fellow IOWAN that has elevated the WNBA to pretty damn watchable.
I live in territory that doesn't know jack about Iowa athletics, nor cares.
I'm simply stating that CC has put IOWA on the map. Of course, where I live? It's IOWA. Nobody here, gives a rat's ass if it's Hawkeye or Cyclone. Pretty sure, the same could be said elsewhere USA/outside Iowa.

I lived in Chicago from 2003 to 2014. The Bulls sold out almost every game in those crap post MJ years they tried to build around man child Eddie Curry. I guess I was part of it because I went to a few. That said…a lot of it is tourists going to see the statue and where MJ played.

It is fun to watch her. Frustrating watching her teammates miss lay ups after a great pass.

Is the area immediately surrounding the UC still sketch? We lived in Chicago in late 90s/early 00s and it was pretty rough.

When I moved in 2014 it had been like halfway gentrified. Even if “safe” that area isn’t set up to be restaurant, bars, retail paradise like lots of other urban Chicago neighborhoods, it would need development. Maybe they have in past 11 years.

I always loved it when we'd be looking at apartments and being told about how certain areas were "patchy", lol.

He can't seem to understand why I don't like her. Somehow he doesn't see all the whining, the push-off's to get open, and the chicken wing on most of her drives.

He barely missed any games unless retired with the only exception being his second season, but when he was retired for almost 2 years there were significant (10-20 percent) declines in home games and even more in road games.

The phenomenon is the closest it’s been since Jordan IMO, but to be honest, I don’t really understand why.

Now do CC.

Over past few games? similar or worse, definitely far less efficient with 6 to/game. She’s like 1-20 from 3.

I suspect she was playing hurt, nobody cared when Tyrese had his one bad finals game clearly hurt, they just blasted his 0-6 shooting line.

Again I’m not saying Reese is remotely comparable to CC, I’m laughing at the people who look at those lines I posted from Reese and say she isn’t even good enough to play in the league.

Yeah, I know CC hasn't been doing well lately. Just trying to bug the CC fans who will get butthurt over you pointing out Reese has been good lately.

I'm not sure you're on the right board for this.

There was an article in the Gazette a few days back written by what a assume is national writer (female).

It was long and all about Clark but the oddest thing was the references like "when you're the greatest shooter" and of course getting pinballed around in games.

Is there any basis for saying words like the greatest shooter?
