make no mistake about it I'm talking to you you know who you are one of you were a former coach M Kaya man Oho did you I watching it man she would coming off the pig let the freeze go yeah she would cook yeah she's boy she were cooking she's a Hooper now you know what's insane Caitlyn Clark is crushing it in the WNBA breaking records left and right and some ESPN analysts are still trying to downplay her talent but Shannon sharp isn't having it he's calling them out and he's got the facts to back it up want to know why Sharp's take on Clark is causing such a stir before we move on I'd

names at ESPN are pushing for a different rookie to take the crown what could possibly make them Overlook Clark's groundbreaking season the numbers tell a story these analysts seem to be missing you'd think with Clark's incredible performance everyone would be on board the hype train but nope some ESPN analysts have decided to throw a wrench in the works they're suddenly all about angel Reese for Rookie of the Year say what now former coach Carolyn Peak and her crew are talking up Reese's grown woman numbers but wait a second didn't we just see Clark's stats it's like they've got selective memory or something here's where it gets weird these same analysts were all over clark at the start of the season they couldn't stop singing her Praises but as soon as Clark started really heating up they went quiet and now they're pushing for Reese something doesn't add up here folks let's break it down remember that game where Clark dropped 31 points and dished out 12 assists yeah that was against the same team where Reese only managed 10 points and 11 rebounds I mean come on how can you ignore that kind of difference but it's not just one game since the Olympic break Clark's been on another level we're talking 24.6 points 5.0 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game on average those aren't just rookie numbers those are Superstar numbers and let's not forget Clark's the first rookie ever to score over 600 points and dish out more than 250 assists in a single season that's not just breaking records that's shattering them and writing new ones so why are these analysts suddenly so quiet about Clark it's like they've got blinders on or something is it because Reese's team the Chicago sky was in playoff contention are they letting team performance Cloud their judgment of individual Brilliance look Reese is a great player no doubt but when you stack up the numbers there's just no comparison Clark's not just playing well for a rookie she's playing like one of the best in the entire league it's crazy to think that these experienced analysts are overlooking such clear evidence are they seeing something we're not or is there something else going on behind the scenes just when the debate seemed to reach a boiling point an unexpected voice cut through the noise who dared to challenge ESPN's analysts and their controversial take on Caitlyn Clark the answer might surprise you enter Shannon sharp the former NFL tight end turn Sports commentator you're probably wondering what does a football guy know about women's basketball well let me tell you Sharp's not just talking the talk he's bringing some serious heat to this conversation Sharp's not pulling any punches he's calling out these ESPN analysts for their flip-flopping faster than a politician during election season remember how they were all over clark at the start of the Season sharp sure does he's pointing out how they've gone suspiciously quiet now that Clark's lighting up the scoreboard you've got to hear what sharp said he called them out saying y'all had a lot to say early and now y'all quiet ouch that's got to sting but you know what he's got a point these analysts were singing Clark's praises and now they're acting like she's old news what gives uh an 89 straight games without a winning record a WNBA record there's a there's a lot of women that was on ESPN that had a lot to say early about this I had they gone quiet now she can shoot it haven't watched her twice she can shoot that Lefty oh she be let that thing go but Sharp's not just here to throw shade he's backing up his words with cold hard facts he's is pointing to Clark's insane stats since the Olympic break we're talking 24.6 points 5.0 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game on average those aren't just good numbers they're Superstar numbers and get this Sharp's not buying the whole Reese deserves it because her team's in playoff contention argument he's calling it like he sees it individual Brilliance shouldn't be overshadowed by team performance it's like saying LeBron isn't great because his team didn't make the playoffs that's just crazy talk but here's where sharp really hits the nail on the head he's not just defending Clark he's fighting for fairness in sports commentary he's saying what we're all thinking these analysts need to call it straight no matter who's playing or what team they're on you know what's really cool about this sharp showing that great Sports analysis isn't just about sticking to your lane he might be a football guy but he knows Talent when he sees it no matter what sport
