The Women’s Basketball Gold Medal Game
- Thread starter Dawgg
- Start date
To me, Clark's turnovers are not a big deal.
If you've watched her play much, it's pretty obvious why they happen. She is always pushing the offense. And she's a rookie point guard on a team she had no experience with and very little practice time with before the season started. Totally different than where she was with that Iowa team.
She's a great pro player right now. No question. If the Olympic team was the best 12 US position players, she's maybe a little outside that, but not much.
I think she should have been on the team, but I can understand why she was left off. Assuming no injury issues she will be a part of multiple Olympic teams. Putting her on this one would have been good for the future of USA basketball. Giving your future star much needed experience.
But they chose their buddy and her 6th gold.

We're arguing past each other. We basically agree. I just think she's a great player right now. Just needs polish to be clearly one of the very best. That's going to happen.
Currently she's ranked 5th in total stats as a rookie after becoming the all time leading scorer in NCAA History. She leads in assists & 5th in 3's made. Dunno what her rank was at selection time however..
Not a Surprising Bich Post from someone who seems to spend a lot of time keeping up with and watching WNBA.
*bitсh (unless you’re phonetically calling be the Vietnamese word for “flange”, which, if you are, good on you)
If you’re trying to shame me for watching the WNBA, it’s not going to work. It’s worth watching. I even go to some Wings games up at UT-Arlington, especially since they traded for McCowan. You should do yourself a favor and go. It’s not far from Fort Worth. The tickets are cheap, the parking is easy, and it’s a fun, low maintenance experience.
orrrrrrrrrr you can continue to argue with me about a subject you know 17all about. Given your history on this board, I have a feeling which one you’ll choose.
Yeah, but there's just no shame in the way they played. They are good teams, but considering the level of talent they were against, it was top notch.
Two silvers at home is impressive.
Unless it's my Lady Dawgs, I'd rather watch paint dry than women's hoops. Clark is being subjected to rudeness due to Jealousy mixed with some hate because she's a white heterosexual in a sport predominately black with a sizeable lesbian presence. Wokesters see her popularity and become unhinged evidenced by comments from sports media, athletes and fans. Yet a poster said similar facts and you called him a "White Knight" and made a big deal outta him misspelling a WOMAN Athlete's Name. So 17ing what? Making.big deals outta spelling, reply errors and playing ridiculous race cards is Quite Bichy and I'd be willing to bet most men who spend the kinda time you do on Women's Hoops have more Bich Traits than those who don't. Speaking Truths and Facts is not *Arguing* IMO. I call it "Education".
As we discussed on this board before the Olympics, there are multiple prominent and well-liked straight white women in the WNBA and on the Olympic roster. Neither race nor orientation had anything to do with who was selected onto the team, nor does it drive which players are popular and which aren't.
You freely admit that you don't know or care anything women's basketball at all, but expect people to take your wild, baseless accusations seriously?
I agree. Let's not start this ridiculous argument again. There may be jealousy issues with her fame, but too many good white players are respected and treated well to start racism BS.
In the interest of accuracy, "in the Olympics" should be added.
They have lost a small number of times in other international events, including the FIBA World Cup.
Wilson was on fire. She was great this series. It was their decision to leave Clark off. I understand why they did because she has not been in the NBA very long.... still, I think it's a dumb decision, but I understand it
Who needs money? Who needs fans?
Evidently, the women's national basketball team does not. They would would've gotten a ton of money just from the sales of her jersey.
That's the hill they die on. So be it. I don't think her popularity will always be there and they should have struck while the iron was hot.
I think she has played fantastically since the USA team was picked and maybe they are regretting their decision but she will definitely be in Los Angeles in 2028.

I never get mentioned even though I am the sports guy in terms of celestial beings. Dad hates sports.
