Message: [QUOTE="eyeroll, post: 4194856, member: 11699"] What a fricken thread this turned out to be. I'll just say this - NOTHING other than yourself, makes talking about Caitlin Clark a comparison to Paige. That only happens because people turn it into that, which is dumb. We have total control to just celebrate a great basketball talent rather than turning it into some sort of pissing match. Literally creating your own drama and then complaining about it. Not to mention, how a person plays basketball is a reflection of the team they are on. I don't look at her or the way she plays and get a Chennedy Carter vibe at all. Not to mention, despite it being pointed out multiple times, they were playing 2 starters down against Michigan and yet folks just wanna ignore that, like when we had people out with injuries, other folks didn't have to step up their role. Some of the folks on Iowa probably can only step up so far, so Caitlin needs to just do more. That might look selfish to some people but just because you think that doesn't make it true. It also might look ugly sometimes but we're familiar with that too. There is zero doubt that she has a ton of talent and just like Paige, we should celebrate that because it's good for Women's Basketball. The irony in all of this is that many of these young women are friends, so if they aren't playing against each other, they are rooting for one another. We should be learning from them. [/QUOTE]
