Sue Bird on Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese, WNBA Growth, Olympic Roster Controversy | OPEN RUN

UCONN? nobody gives a crap about any basketball pre-Covid .....wake-up ...... it is now South Carolina's time ......

Bullshit, it's not what you know, but who you blow

Am I the only one who never saw them as rivals and is tired of the media shoving the "Bird vs Magic" narrative down our throats? It was nice to hear Clark herself say she doesn't see Reese as a rival, it's just what the media keeps pushing.

I think Caitlin and Angel would have dominated the 3X3 competition with Haley just feeding them the ball and then getting out of the way...

You have not learned! Caitlin Clark amassed 10 million fans in college, we all followed her to the WNBA and it seems you are is HELL BENT on running us all off.

Really! Rachel WTF Diana Taraussi shouldnt of been on the team . And proof is she was benched the gold medal game , and didnt score , rebound ,steal, and was determent to the team . Quit sucking up and changing the narrative 😢

So obvious now why players only make $80 grand per year. Talk about grade school aptitude, attitude and behavior.. Not to mention league management who can't help but trip over their own feet.. I'm done, I'll watch CC games but I refuse to support a league ran by such incompetent management. Maybe CC will go to Europe and play or take the $50 million offered by Ice Cube and play in the big 3..

Taurasi’s time has come and gone. She was selfish not to give up her spot. Greedy wanted sixth gold medal, but didn’t earn it.

Can’t be a rivalry if only one party wins & the others hasn’t! One has 5 rings the other has none!

“The standard” she scored 3 points or some crap and was benched in the last match. That’s no standard, she is old and done for. Should have retired a while ago.

Caitlin wasn't into trash talking.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think a Caitlin Clark vs Paige Bueckers “rivalry” might actually be more intriguing than the current “rivalry” between Clark and Reese?

ok, here is the deal for all the women who just can't understand why no one watched before and we are now. Clark play like a cross between Pistol Pete and Steph Curry. NONE of you have ever played like that before. She is fun to watch, you never were and still are not. How many people are going back and looking up old WNBA games to watch any "founders"? Just be happy for the women going forward who will start to play more like Clark in the future. Be happy you may get some interviews to talk about old times. If Clark quit playing tomorrow 80 - 90 % of the new fans will melt away.

THAT WAS A GASP YEA

DONT DIMINISH THOSE WHO GET INVOLVED IN THE COACHING ARENA ..THAT TEACHES ABOUT LIFE ..USING BASKETBALL AS A TOOL TO TEACH THEM ..THE HIGH AND LOWS WE WILL EXPERIENDCE IN LIFE ..

BALL IS MORE THAN JUST A GAME TO ME ..I HAVE PUT MY HAND TO COACHING ..BECUASE MY DAD WAS A RUGBY LEAGUE COACH BEFORE ME ..

HAVEN'T COACHED IN 10 YEARS ..BUT SINCE I WAS 21 I COACHED MOST OF MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS (8 OF US - COACHED 5 OF THEM) AND THEIR FRIENDS AND WHO EVER ELSE TURNED UP TO PLAY ..

NOT ONLY IN THE GAME OF BALL ..BUT I HAVE ALSO COACHED RUGBY LEAGUE AND TENNIS TO A NATIONAL LEVEL ALONG WITH BALL ..AND RUGBY UNION TO A DISTRICT LEVEL (WE A RUGBY LEAGUE/BASKETBALL/TENNIS FAMILY)

CAITLIN HAS RELIT MY FIRE FOR BALL ..SURROUNDING THE CONTROVERSY, THAT HAS BEEN FOLLOWING HER ..AS I SWITCHED OFF THE NBA SCENE IN 2008 REALLY ..GAME CHANGED FOR THE WORST ..

OFFENSIVELY ORIENTATED WITH FANCY DRIBBLES, DRIVES, DUNKS OR SHOT BEYOND THE ARC ..THAT SHIT BORED ME ..BUT BECAUSE WOMEN CANNOT FLY LIKE MEN ..THEY HAVE HAD TO RESORT TO OTHER MEANS OF SCORING ..

WHICH IS MORE THE INSIDE OUTSIDE GAME ..WHICH THE WOMEN ARE PLAYING MORE OF ..NOT ENTIRELY BUT WAY MORE THAN THE MEN

TBH ..I USE ANY SPORT ..AS A MEANS OF REPRESENTING THE HIGHS AND LOWS YOU WILL COME ACROSS IN THE GAME ..AS SOMETHING YOU MAY OR MAY NOT EXPERIENCE IN LIFE ..

AND HOW EMBRACING THE HARDSHIP (SUFFERING) IN ORDER TO ATTAIN LIMITS YOU THOUGHT WERE NOT POSSIBLE FOR ONESELF AND IN THE SERVICE OF OTHERS ..THATS WAS JESUS WAY ..NO TV BACK THEN

the truth is DT is useless in Olympics.

By promoting the Caitlin Clark - Angel Reese alleged rivalry, Sue Bird continuously lose her remaining credibility as an intelligent and independent WNBA analyst and commentator. there is no rivalry. Angel Reese is just riding on the coattails of Caitlin Clark's popularity. Without Angel Reese in the WNBA, Caitlin Clark would just be as popular as today and millions of fans would just be supporting her. I don't know why these people in the WNBA and its media could not accept what the reality is - Caitlin Clark, and her alone, is the one moving the needle in the WNBA. Jealousy? Envy? Insecurity? Egotistical? Petty? Dumb or Stupid?

The biased question should not have been, “but who on Team USA would CC replace?” It instead should have been, “Which veteran grandma would graciously offer up her seat to CC, the best promoter, marketer, and earner on the WNBA?” Turasi padded her stats just like Reese. She again has to artificially bring up Reese whenever she brings up CC.

Yeah, it doesn't come down to "who to take off". It comes down Caitlin Clark should have been on the list and Diana Taurasi shouldn't have even been on the list to begin with. Get the F out of here with that BS.

Caitlin will be 42 years old in her 5th Olympics. So she probably won't even get to compete for 6. So the committee has guaranteed that DT's record is safe. Do you know why? Because DT was chosen when she had just graduated from college, so she had a 4 year jump on CC for Olympics. Plus DT's 6th this year was basically a participation trophy. She was benched for the last game and scored zero for at least one game when she did play.

Sue is pretty enough to not be a let’s be honest. Men failed…

This is a prepackaged interview, kind of disingenuous.

Who is sue bird??

CMON ONLY 1 TOOK OVER THE OTHER ONE IS A BAYOU BRICK LAYER STOOOOOP IT

soft questions, sad

Look what happened to womens socrer they got rid of all the big mouth players and won gold
See megan is gone and people watched

The lack of chemistry between Bird and Nichols is striking.

Setting Caitlin Clark aside for a moment, the fact that Arike Ogunbowale decided months ago that she didn't want her name sullied by going through the Olympic Team selection process tells you all you need to know about how bogus and biased the process has been. If Clark and Ogunbowale aren't amongst the 12 best players to have on your team in an international FIBA competition, I'm a monkey's uncle.

6 gold medals means they hogging the spots and get it even if they riding the bench. I get it though. Pros and cons to everything.

Jordan past the torch to give others the Olympic dream. WNBA could learn from Jordan. Stop being selfish. Share the Dream!

Caitlyn has no rivals, no anywhere near rivals,,,

Well now CC will not have a chance to get six gold medals because Tarasi took her spot. She probably wouldn’t do the same thing when she’s at the same point so she might get 4.

You didn’t ask Bird about her and Taurasi trashing Caitlin when she was entering the WNBA. And CC may trash talk on the floor but she doesn’t do that off the Court like Reese does. U didn’t talk about why Taurasi didn’t earn her spot on this Olympic Team. Why was she picked? For a Gold Medal ,6? And Bird did not give kudos to CC for bringing fans to the WNBA? Where is her gratitude, cuz the WNBA was tottering before Caitlin.

WNBA dropped the ball big time, golden opportunity to elevate the women’s game

it was only a rivalry in college because CC was on a mediocre team, and Angel was on a great team. now that they're on comparable teams talent wise, the gap is obvious

It’s politics sad to say 😉😝 it’s better in athletics as you will know who will be a victor 😉😃

It’s easy who to take off .. the question is why they can’t take them off 😉😛

Sue's beautiful
