Caitlin Clark in Adversity Reveals What Kind of Teammate She Really Is
Bản chép lời [Music] Welcome to another episode of the Adrien Ross Show, where sports and culture connect. First of all, I got to say if I seem a little different, moving differently, spaced differently, it’s because I’m standing. And I’m standing because my cat took over my chair. One of my cats took over my chair, tried to get her to move. Cole said not moving, dug her claws in. So, I have an adjustable desk, so I’m able to raise it up. So, just in case I seem, I don’t know, taller or something. You know why I want to spend a little bit of time shouting out Caitlyn Clark.
And no, I’m not shouting her out because of a logo three she hit or because of a pinpoint pass that led to one of her many assists. I’m not shouting her out because she gave a great postgame conference that we’re used to seeing her do. In fact, I’m shouting her out because we haven’t had an opportunity to see those things recently. And yet, she has handled herself with incredible poise, with incredible grace. Now, her teammates, when asked, will tell you, yes, she’s frustrated. Every competitor would be, but at least in public, she’s doing a really good job of being able to handle it, and also still cheering on her teammates, wanting her teammates to win, wanting them to excel right there with them. You know, some people get injured, and they don’t come to games after they get injured, and they certainly, many of them don’t travel with the team.
Caitlyn’s traveling with the team. Caitlyn’s obviously there when they’re in Gamebridge. She’s there for her teammates. She’s up off the bench when something good happens. Yeah, she’s up off the bench when she’s got a word for the official, too. But she is being the consmate teammate. And when you are a competitor who wants to play basketball as much as Caitlyn does, who works so hard in the offseason as she did, man, you’ve got to say, “I’m going to dig deep because my teammates need me.” And not only does she realize her teammates need her, do you guys see the autographs that she was signing in Chicago where someone who went to the game I know said there were probably h half the people there were wearing CC attire. Caitlyn Clark recognizes that she’s important to the game. She’s important to young boys, young girls, old folk. She’s just important to what’s going on in basketball, in the sports world, whether she’s playing or not. And it would be so easy, I imagine, to just chill. I don’t have to do anything. I’m not playing. I don’t have to sign autographs. I don’t have to do any of this stuff. I’m entitled to have a pity party. She’s not doing that. And I know it means a lot to her teammates. Obviously means a lot to fans as we’re I’m about to show you. And I just had to shout her out because man, I know she wants the ball, but she can’t right now. So, she’s doing what she can do.
Whether in practice, whether during a game, whether before the game, she’s doing the things that make me call her a consmate professional and teammate. So, first of all, let’s go over to courtside during the game. the fever game against Chicago. Obviously, Kelsey Mitchell was on fire and Caitlyn Clark and her teammates were loving it. Let’s go over to X. I’m going to be going to a couple different X account. So, the links will be in the description of this video. So, you see the caption here when Kelsey Mitchell knocks down her sixth triple of the night. And what do we see? We see Caitlyn Clark, the triple lady herself, excited. You got Natasha Howard excited. You got Sophie Cunningham excited. Now again, Caitlyn Clark can’t play and she wants to be out there balling, but she’s up cheering on her teammates.
Natasha Howard, she didn’t have any points. She only played 12 minutes. What is she doing? Cheering on her teammate. You see Sophie Cunningham who always brings the energy, but she didn’t have a super duper night or day, I should say, Sunday either, but they’re together. They’re cheering them on. And we’ve heard Sophie Cunningham say before that she’s never been on a team with the chemistry this team has. So, shout out to all of them and especially for Caitlyn because she can’t play right now. That’s in the game. Let’s go to practice. We’re going to go to Scott Agnes’ YouTube page. You know how they end their practices with the half court shot? Well, the rookie Michaela Timson, she was the winner. And Caitlyn Clark couldn’t have been more excited for her teammate. [Music] I love seeing that because again, teammates, there’s KK about to take that shot.
There’s CC and CC’s hands go straight up in the air when that shot goes down. [Music] I mean, look at Caitlyn like a little kid. [Music] whole team excited for the rookie. And of course, Caitlyn, it stands out to me because of the situation she’s in. Now, it’s one thing to be a consumate professional when dealing with your teammates. It’s a whole different thing. It’s a whole higher level when you talk about making yourself available to fans. You’re not even playing. You want to be on the court. You’re dealing with injury and you’re out there still making yourself available to fans on the road. Listen, some people get injured and they don’t even travel with the team, many of them. Caitlyn Clark is showing up at Gamebridge. She’s also showing up on the road and taking her time like she did in Chicago, signing autographs and making herself available. And someone I know was at the game and she said that half the people there had to be wearing Indiana Fever attire and most of that was Caitlyn Clark attire specifically. So before the game she’s signing autographs. She’s among the among the young people, the old people. You got boys, girls, men, women.
Why does she do that when she’s not She doesn’t have to do that. Caitlyn Clark recognizes what she means to the game. She understands that a lot of these people show up at games, they want to see her. She can’t be out there playing, but she still wants to give them something. That’s why her answer to questions about pressure are different from other people because she recognizes what she means to the game and how many people spent money and traveled and planned to see her play. They can’t see her play, but she can still say, “Hey, I mean, you paid your money. You didn’t know I was going to be injured.” And maybe you, you know, maybe you bought your ticket after, you know, I was going to be injured for for a chance to maybe get an opportunity to get an autograph or or to say hello. And she takes that seriously. And I have a lot of respect for that because she wants to be playing basketball. Like, she didn’t get into basketball to just to sign autographs. She got in there to play. And with that came tremendous eyeballs, tremendous amount of of fans. And she wants to make sure that they get an opportunity to do for for she wants to do for them what she said someone did for her. I used to be that person. And so a huge shout out to her cuz she doesn’t have to do it, but she does it and they appreciate it. So, we’re going to go and look at some of that footage of her pregame in Chicago. Do you see the different ages there? Fast forward a little bit.
Now, check out the Chicago Sky little girls who are so excited about having an opportunity to meet Caitlyn Clark. And one of those girls ended up crying. I don’t know if you’ve seen the footage of that, but it meant a lot to her. And the result was 20 full minutes of non-stop smiles, hugs, and happy tears. Now, that’s just a little bit of all the mingling, if you will, Caitlyn Clark did with the fans and the signing of autographs and the smiles and all those things. I’m going to end by going back to Caitlyn with her teammates after they left the court upon defeating the Chicago Sky. Everybody’s doing the little dub thing with their with their hands and Caitlyn’s right in the mix. Caption says, “Nothing like getting a nice little dub. Walk off with the squad after securing the win in Chicago.” But also, let’s take a moment for KK. Okay. She was that moment today. She’s that girl always. Thank you. Nothing like a nice little D. So in fever language there is the squad and the whole squad got the win. Now you notice there are people there who played a whole lot and people who didn’t play a lot and yet they’re all a part of the squad. They’re a team. Now I know there’s a whole lot of noise out there.
Thankfully, I have a feeling Caitlyn Clark doesn’t partake in a whole lot of that noise. Very smart. I kind of fall in that category as well. I know there’s a lot of stuff people want to pit teammate against teammate and all that, but Caitlyn Clark is cheering her teammates on. Caitlyn Clark is there for people who come to see her teammates play. So, I say let’s go Fever. But like I said, I definitely wanted to give a shout out for Caitlyn Clark because it’s not easy to be sidelined with an injury when you want nothing more than the play. And some people, they wouldn’t do the stuff that she does. So, it’s not a logo three I’m talking about. It’s not an assist. It’s not a postgame press conference. It’s being the consmate professional and more importantly, the consumate teammate. I will catch you next time, God willing. God bless you abundantly.

💰 $5M for Clark, NOTHING for Reese? Ice Cube’s Bold Move EXPOSES the Real Power Behind the Rivalry What started as an on-court battle has just turned into a boardroom war. Ice Cube offered Caitlin Clark $5 million to join his Big3 league — while Angel Reese was publicly left off the table. The message? Brutal. And deliberate. Cube says it’s all about business: Clark delivers returns. Reese doesn’t. Sponsors are allegedly “lining up” behind Clark, while Reese’s numbers, he claims, didn’t justify the investment. Now, fans are divided, emotions are high, and the truth is out: this rivalry isn’t just about stats or smack talk — it’s about brand, value, and visibility. Is this a wake-up call for Reese? Or proof that raw talent and marketability speak louder than drama? 🔥 One offer. One snub. And a spotlight on the harsh business of professional sports.
