I also think that Geno’s motion offense is holding her back on offense as well

They absolutely could have done that.
Caitlin is awesome. She's so so talented. But as said in the video, the WNBA was what busted through and with A'ja and Angel and Griner (and her release and return to play) and the STANCES the WNBA has taken where even the NBA was scared but the WNBA franchises and players proudly took stances and stood behind what they believe in. Players like Brink who said and did the right things. Flamethrowers like Arike who put on an absolute SHOW in the all star game.
Caitlin is a legit choice. But she's right, it could have been the WNBA as a whole and that would have been perfectly fine and even more poignant.
As people said throughout the season, we were just talking ball. Talking about who blocked what shot, who took an ill advised 3, who hard fouled who, what some team did well or poorly at.
Where in years past you had way too many "I'd hit that" comments and dumb **** like that. Or "get back in the kitchen" comments. Sabrina's S1s were the most sold/popular Nike By You shoe there was! Stewie's Pumas were coming before this season. The S2s have been a hit stylistically, even if they aren't as ubiquitous as the 1s in BOTH leagues.
Sabrina had that shootout with Steph, which continued the theme of The WNBA has players that can play regardless of anything else. So that ascension that was fueled by a ton of stuff above and beyond CC.
It would have been dope to have it be the WNBA, and totally consistent and deserved. Clark is obviously deserving too though. It's a great point.

Caitlin obviously should’ve been on the cover. She’s the most transcendant athlete in the sport. Just had a historic year. What are we even talking about.

Get this participation trophy *** nonsense outta here.

This pro sports. Caitlin is the biggest star, she gets the cover.

In all fairness what the hell would/should Swoopes say in response to that?

The irony in Johnson's interview is she said the players need to learn how not to give people ammo. and she says that goofy stuff

Glad to see people gettin turned on to her skills
She's been killing it for the most part. She's not trying to do too much with most possessions in terms of taking over and putting on a show.
She's got more to figure out though. She's got to learn at what tempo all her dizzying array of moves works. For some of these defenders they just are not quick enough to react to all the dribbles and all the options. If I were coaching the defenders I'd just tell them to stay solid cause she's gonna come back to you.
But as soon as Kiyomi figures out the best pace to use to blow by defenders, it's a wrap for the 1st couple (as in 2) of defenders. Her teammates seem ready for the passes too. And of course she can score herself.
But Rutgers definitely has work to do. McMiller is on that Aari trajectory. You're filthy but you're small. So some of the times she beats 3 defenders but then gets got at the basket by the big.
She's got all time handles though. It's just a joy to watch.
Course it's tough to watch live. I have a DVR recording set and don't see anymore upcoming games. Hope they make the tourney.

CC should just move to Europe. The league just keeps stepping on rakes.

You know when this whole "WNBA players are hating on Caitlin narrative" I really just assumed nah the whites are probably just making this all up.
But I starting paying closer attention it's damn they really are hating.
honestly really shocking how all of this has played out.
Also it's kinda funny WNBA and WNBA media people have basically lived up to every female stereotype in relation to sports.
