This is incredibly cool
But like ok listen
There is no shade at all if it just hasn't happened
But I've been paying pretty close attention
And I've seen at least 3 high schools in the Indy area now with their whole girls bball team getting Caitlin 1s
I haven't seen a single Atlanta school celebrating their whole team getting AR's shoe or a single Vegas team getting A'ja's shoe
Just saying
Really cool night for Zionsville Girls’s Basketball. Thank YOU, Nike and Caitlin Clark! @Nike @CaitlinClark22
The outside sports world is literally laughing at us
All of us
And rightfully so
Get a damn professional to run this league stat
Ok all joking and memes aside, it is fairly clear to me what happened with this
The WNBA sent all the teams the potential playoff hold dates a year ago and Atlanta let it slip thru the cracks until the playoffs
I actually can sort of even understand this because remember what was happening a year ago - everything was chaos and no one even knew if there was going to be a playoffs at all, easy to imagine a situation where Atlanta let this one slip
Then when it became clear that Atlanta was not only going to make the playoffs but that they could potentially make a finals run they checked the calendar at State Farm and, whoops it was booked
At that point they went to Cathy and were like, fix it for us - which, since the problem was NBA related you would think they might be able to do something
But Cathy was completely asleep at the wheel and has been all season, and the league office was like, this is your mess, you fix it
And no one did until literally yesterday
And now people are playing hot potato with the blame
Sorry Atlanta, no matter who you try to blame this one is on you
Of course this happened a year ago
OF COURSE IT DID
Because anyone who knows ANYTHING AT ALL about how venues are booked knows you have to book them at least a year out
That is STANDARD for stuff like this and OF COURSE IT IS, THAT'S WHEN CONCERT TOURS AND OTHER EVENTS BOOK DATES
So if you're a team that exists ON PLANET EARTH you put a hold on that date for the arena and then, if you don't make it, you release the hold, that is how this works and every single pro sports team in the universe does it
WHY DO YOU THINK THIS HAS NOT BEEN A PROBLEM FOR ANY OTHER TEAM EVER IN HISTORY, THEY ALL DO THIS EXCEPT YOU
So when you say, oh well maybe they just didn't think we would make it
No
It is YOU who thought you would not make it
It is YOU who are disrespecting yourself
Do not make me get the hot dog guy meme out again
This is YOUR FAULT Renee Montgomery
Just own it you absolute clown car
Eh screw it I'mma get the hot dog guy meme out again
Dream ownership on arena situation in open letter to Atlanta:
"Two months ago, when the WNBA finalized playoff dates and times, we raised concerns that the W Finals schedule conflicted with NBA games at State Farm Arena ... Our concerns did not receive the attention, nor the urgency that they deserved."
Good piece by Ken here
I did a video talking about Cox's shortcomings a few days ago after she was released and talked a lot about Mo there and largely echoed what Ken is saying (much more eloquently than I ever could here)
Square peg, round hole
I described it as trying to make a player become someone else entirely rather than sign someone who actually fit the need
And hand up, when the signing occurred, I liked it. I saw her rim percentage the year before with GSV, saw her defensive rating the year before with GSV, saw her size and athleticism, and her apparent chemistry with Caitlin at Team USA and thought, yeah this is a good gamble given some other contracts that were being handed out
But I was wrong, and so was Amber, because we were asking her to be someone she is not - which isn't fair to her and it became clear that mentally and emotionally, she wasn't up to it
If the Fever want to compete at the level they want to compete at next season, Mo cannot be on the roster at her current price or really any price
Also let me just say as someone who is very new to video production it is very frustrating to see Ken just walk into the room and have such high production value lol - good job Ken

Is Monique Billings the right fit for the Indiana Fever?
This is a great breakdown that I would love your take on!

I decided not to do a video on this poll because I was writing the script and found it to be incredibly nerdy even for me, an avowed nerd
So instead I'll just tell you all straight out
This poll proves pretty convincingly her superpower is the confluence of 2 things - extremely high name recognition and overwhelming positive response across every cross tab
She has only a 33% "don't know" segment meaning that 66% of people know enough about Caitlin to have either a positive or negative opinion of her - this puts her in the company of people like Steph Curry, Patrick Mahomes, among others
Meanwhile Sophie is at a 52% and Angel 54% meaning the majority of respondents don't know enough about either of them to have an opinion
That is an insane difference but wait there's more! Let's look at athletes from more popular sports - Caitlin is tied with Steph Curry at 33%, Patrick Mahomes is at 32%, Mr. Taylor Swift at 27%, but she leads Aaron Rodgers who has 36%?!?!? Aaron Judge has 59% don't know, Ohtani has 54% and WEMBY HAS 64%!?!??! That is nuts
Ok so that's part 1 of her superpower - incredibly known. Part 2 of her superpower is everyone that knows her likes her
Her combined favorable percentage is 56% of the overall vs. only 11% unfavorable - that is a net of +45 to the positive! That means for every one person that doesn't like Caitlin there are almost 5 people that do!
Compare that to Sophie who has favorable of 38% and unfavorable of 10% - that is a net of +28, meaning for every one person that doesn't like Sophie there are 3 people that do
Finally compare that with AR who has a favorable of 24% and unfavorable of 21% - a net of +3, meaning for every person that likes Angel there is one that doesn't like her
The implications are both huge and obvious
There is so, so, so much more that we can draw from this data but this is just the broad strokes
Long story short - Caitlin's superpower is that tons of people know her and basically everyone that knows her likes her
We did a joint sports/politics/masculinity poll with @pablofindsout. Some findings:
- Nobody is impressed with Pete Hegseth's tough guy schtick
- Overwhelming support for prediction market regulations
- Republicans love Sophie Cunningham/hate NCAA champion/current W finalist @Reese10Angel.
- Trans girls in girls sports is unpopular but not as unpopular as @EnesFreedom's stunts.
- Nobody wants Pat McAfee to run for office.
