what was angel reese so mean to caitlin clark? well, she wasn't it was the optics of a black young woman taunting a young white woman. and it may people who weren't familiar with the game uncomfortable although they became a fan of caitlin clark, a gru the sport but trash-talking defeats all color lines. it is a rite of passage as a champion, and i'm speaking for myself and those who played his game. well, it is a rite of passage to trash talk but caitlin clark brought many people in. some would say the same way that larry bird brought many people who didn't really pay attention to the nba end, as opposed to magic johnson while we love magic johnson, people larry bird, because they were like second, he's dead it's same way. the same exact way. tiger brought many blacks to the sport of golf. it's interesting. it's different. i'm paying attention. >> well, i'm leaning in as well and some some reason it reminds me a whole lot. when christian laettner was put on the olympic team. i don't know what it is. there's something about that.

it's another amazing achievement for caitlin clark and she will head for the wnba. she's going to be with the indiana fever because they have the number one pick they've been a woeful team, but they had an unborn pick last year and got a very good player named aliyah boston. now caitlin clark will join her the rookie pay scale and the wnba is only $78,000, but we wanted to throw any benefits for kaitlan because she already has deals with gatorade and state farm and nike and those national deals will only increase when she goes into the pros and you will not find a more basketball mad state than indiana high school college and pro she's going to be a local and regional star. so it only builds and builds for caitlin clark, her pay cap. >> when she goes into the wnba, it's only $78,000. i mean, obviously deals inside, but she's only hurt the most she can make it 78 grand as a rookie, the top of the pay scale is 250,000 and then players sometimes go overseas, has only a 40 game season from may into september in the wnba. and there are incentives. what they're in the sev

caitlin clark, my personal favorite because ohio, they're playing ohio state on sunday. she has a chance to break the all-time scoring record, not just for women, but men and women. and it seems like she's going to potentially hit that on sunday, which is going to be incredible to watch, especially given we've just learned that she is going to be declaring for the wnba draft yes. you're already >> holds all of a significant women's record. she needs just 18 points to surpass pete maravich's total obviously, it's apples to oranges, not just men's game versus women's game, but there was no three-point shot when pete played at lsu, freshmen were in eligibly played only three years. caitlin clark because played for and many more games, but still if you're talking about total points, it's another amazing achievement for caitlin clark and she will head for the wnba she's going to be with the indiana fever because they have the number one pick. they've been a woeful team, but they had an abortion pick last year and got a very good player named aliyah boston. now caitlin clark w
