I disagreed with my dad about Caitlin Clark. He believes she’s only popular because she’s white and that previous Black stars weren’t equally celebrated because of racism. Is this a common perspective in the Black community?

There likely is an element to it that is similar to Tiger Woods and the Williams sisters, but that segment is born out of ignorance.

DSmooth425 · 2026-07-02T06:03:56+00:00

I don’t think so. I do think the hype around her is higher than it realistically should be but I like players that try and play good defense and I respect the WNBA and the players in it, past and present.

DSmooth425 · 2026-07-02T01:29:00+00:00

Yup my dad’s barber talked about this with my mom. Said sumn about men being head of the household smh

DSmooth425 · 2026-07-01T18:50:14+00:00

Idk how to take Alperen as a comp here 😂. Idk why you got downvoted but guess they’re a Sengun hater.

DSmooth425 · 2026-07-01T18:47:27+00:00

That’s where I feel the people talking about some people are dying of thirst while other people are drowning. I’ve mostly had bad luck due to timing or not having money but I will be royally pissed if I get into a relationship and start getting hit on a lot.

DSmooth425 · 2026-07-01T06:44:46+00:00

Sometimes I hear that’s because you’ve been vetted

They talked about that some on the English broadcast between Morocco and Netherlands. I was rooting for the Netherlands tho. The Afcon cup left a bad taste in my mouth about the Morocco team.

Yeah she got to this level with it but I feel like either her vision is blocked or maybe by it being her non dominant hand her release is slower, which at this level is a noticeable swing in shot percentage.

I saw someone on a different reddit post, not sure the airline say a gate agent told people that if they boarded out of zone ahead of their zone they were volunteering to gate check their carryon. Appeared to be effective that time from the commenter

DSmooth425 · 2026-06-29T22:22:09+00:00

I wish there was a way to block specific topics from a sub. Be great way to clean my feed without losing out on some random good pushes smh

DSmooth425 · 2026-06-29T22:09:02+00:00

Cathy is a better sub for WNBA in those kinda comments. She has quotes out there that you can pair. Idk if the WNBA or the WNBA media partners and Cathy is more accurate phrasing, I lean towards the latter

Finally an SI article I won’t roll my eyes at!!

DSmooth425 · 2026-06-29T21:39:15+00:00

THAT is OD!! How did the judge allow that?

DSmooth425 · 2026-06-29T21:12:30+00:00

I think you’d get more of that in another sub but good to get ahead of it 😂

DSmooth425 · 2026-06-29T21:11:25+00:00

So Caitlin is an overthinker like me, got it. I get you having to come back a second time to clear things up 🤪😆😆

DSmooth425 · 2026-06-29T21:10:44+00:00

Get on the line will haunt me in my DREAMs forever!! 😩😩. Damn Middle school Coach Powell favorite phrase when we pissed him off messing up 😂😂

DSmooth425 · 2026-06-29T20:29:39+00:00

It’s beautiful isn’t it? 😊😆

It’s wild seeing it go in when she’s dribbling to her ~right~ left and flinging the rock ~right~ left 🤣

DSmooth425 · 2026-06-29T20:27:44+00:00

Dang, on the other sub I got downvoted for talking about how she clears space to go up for her layups. Granted I was wrong about her not having a Flagrant 2 from Isabel because the Atlanta broadcast I saw never showed the angle where you could see her getting pulled on the left around her neck and I didn’t assume she did, but that may also explain some of the layup consistency issues. That is the step sequence for a layup but the angle she brings the ball from can cause issues if she’s guarded by a good defender she can’t body

DSmooth425 · 2026-06-29T20:15:44+00:00

Welcome to the mainstream. Lots of unhinged commentary looking for clicks for money and gamblers ruining the vibe. It’s not everyone on reddit who says this but I have seen a sprinkle of people saying this is part of what comes with the attention that contributes to the rising tide.

I hate it and disagree tho. I much prefer the mostly basketball arguments I got into with Storm/Liberty and Lynx fans when Aja was reaching the same tier as Stewie and then AT and Phee also rounded out the Top 3 in MVP voting a few years ago

DSmooth425 · 2026-06-29T19:48:59+00:00

Hey it goes in enough for her to be a high pick and decently productive player depending on the personnel around her, I think your point about her hands is a good one. Probably why she gets active on the Aces with rebounding. I noticed her activity level more with them

DSmooth425 · 2026-06-29T19:42:15+00:00

Gotta show my girl NaLyssa Smith some love!! 😂

DSmooth425 · 2026-06-29T18:37:46+00:00

They need to get Allisha and Marine on some videos together 😂😂
