Caitlin Clark Might Be The Biggest DAWG In All Of Basketball Right Now | Pat McAfee Reacts

Talk about something that would put up massive numbers if last night’s game between Iowa and Michigan was on ESPN I think the numbers would have been gigantic Crush now I watched on peacock Caitlyn Clark is a stone cold dog I mean the first eight points are the record-breaking points there’s a chance

That she could be a little tight you know a little bit nervous obviously everybody is in that Arena everybody that’s watching that game history is literally watching her play basketball and in moments past wherever that situation has arose in many sports maybe a little bit overthinking and it’s something like basketball shooting and

Basketball if you overthink you’re a little bit tight you can miss she she had her best game she’s ever had as an Iowa Hawkeye puts up 49 points has 13 assists she would have had a bunch of rebounds if she wanted to hang out underneath the hoop Moore she pulls up

From the logo to break the record Splash it’s like she is a killer she is Stone Cold she is a Savage and and she is maybe one of the greatest mental competitors that I’ve ever watched play a sport AJ Hawk it sure feels like that I mean the the announcers were talking

About that throughout the game like how has she handled all of this like all of the extra attention all of what’s going on and she just seems what do they say what’s the old saying where why is beyond her years like she’s only 22 years old this was awesome too when she

Got found like what she had 18 points within the first time like five 23 points in the first quarter 20 she was on Pace to score 92 points in a night in which people were wondering like how would she handle history being right around the corner it’s like best game

She’s ever had best jo she’s gonna have the best game she’s ever had Vinnie this is perfect for you to talk about because I view you mentally as one of the most clutch humans to ever exist Not Just Sports but just exist whenever you watch somebody like her perform in the

Pressure moments that she’s had obviously you have massive amount of respect but do you think she is born with this like is that something that you were just born with you think yeah so impressive I mean like to watch to watch that and to watch her what she’s

Done over her whole career It’s amazing And do do I think at at some point when she was a little girl was she just that much more mentally tough than most I would say yes I would definitely see as has she developed even greater as she’s developed her game probably I mean the

More you work the more the more time you put into it but yeah she she just walks out in the court knowing that she’s the best player out there and and she has a lot of Swag and a lot of confidence and it’s just impressive to watch that

Because like like you said huge moment for she knows that like this is an this is an opportunity completely unfaced does not carees no nerves no tightness plays her best game it’s like that’s whenever some people can get rattled instead there’s only a few amount of humans in the history in those

Situations that just somehow get even better it’s like she’s not a human I am a massive fan of watching her play basketball she’s gonna be a total rock star in the WNBA as well she’s gonna go out there and yeah yeah here in Indie yeah yeah and she’s just going to throw

Up 50 points a game too I mean like like she’s that special I got emotional they did a uh they did a Caitlyn Clark celebration afterwards where like her family and ex-teammates and everybody like trying to send a message watching her watch that you know was like a cool

Thing because I feel like she’s probably a human and I got to be around one of them and Adam V watching them where it’s like what it doesn’t what if you don’t like what’s next like we got to focus on whatever’s next whatever next it’s almost like last night she did take a

Moment to yeah she like even got Tey watching it and I’m almost getting emotional because the amount of work that this girl has put in to get to this point the amount of parties Hangouts relationships things that everybody else was able to go to she missed them you

Know why cuz she was putting up shots in the gym so that whenever she has history on the line she just pulls up and bangs it home it’s like that moment of Celebration like made me emotional watch I’m like hey way to go you know like like way you you’ve earned this Caitlyn

You’ve earned it at the age of 22 the amount of sacrifice she’s put in to be this person you don’t really get to see or hear but you know has happened it’s like last night I hope she got a chance to really take that all in you know what

I mean AJ yeah I mean it’s it’s probably hard for her in the moment like you know she’s like she’s a killer so she’s like what’s next but yeah it’s cool to see she actually getting emotional watching that but I’m sure she’s on to the next I’m sure she was already up shooting

This morning probably got up 500 shots this morning that’s what they those like the great ones seem to do but at one point in the uh broadcast I heard that them try to say well you know it might take her a little bit to uh for like she

Might struggle a little bit to transition into the WNBA and I was instantly thinking I don’t believe that to be the cas yeah uh like she can shoot from everywhere her one teammate said like uh she’s the greatest player on earth like this isn’t a this isn’t like a college basketball thing she’s

Greatest player on earth and they’re like well that’s a little crazy to say for Coach she yeah but you don’t watch her in pract like you don’t you haven’t seen her in practice you have no idea and in the biggest moments she plays the best she can play She sets up her own

Shots she moves differently she’s she sets her teammates up so oh my goodness some of the passing she makes like I think I mentioned it yesterday on the show how how good her passing is and then last night boom if she’s not scoring she’s setting up a teammate with

An unbelievable pass full speed pull up she plays like Prime Steph like watching last night was like oh I’m just watching Prime St like like the way where she shoots from how she how she works off of ball screens stuff like that creates her own shot with stepback stuff like that

She’s she plays just like Prime step and she also I watched and I don’t know how common this is Sue me I’m just getting into watching women’s basketball because of Caitlyn Clark because of Angel Rees because of South Carolina like that last March Madness I was like sick I’m going

To watch this this is good so this season I’ve been watching it the angel Reese not playing for a while I still don’t she’s back okay she’s back which is good but Caitlyn and this I don’t want this to sound sexist okay we should dump that because no matter what I say

People are going to say because I said that that but I don’t I don’t see this as much and I’m very casual last night ball going out of bounds she jumps grabs that thing she’s throwing that ball as hard as she can at the girl that’s

Standing in front of her from the other team I’m like hey that’s pickup that’s I don’t I didn’t know I didn’t know that happened in women’s college basketball I had no idea that took place like she is a stone cool killer killer she is an absolute killer and it’s like I’m pumped

She’s going to be a member of the Indiana Fever next year yeah well that’s what I was about to say this is like for the WNBA this is like a wemi type figure coming into your league like that is the exact same amount of hype as you know

What wemi is going through now with Spurs yeah even bigger cuz she you know she’s the whole sport from United States changing the whole sport if she doesn’t come to the fever I it is going to break my heart I’m going to have to hate yeah

We need these Hawkeye fans who we got a lot of respect to we got a lot of respect for Hawkeye fans obviously we got a die hard one that normally sits right over there but why can’t we just celebrate the moment instead of we one

More year yeah come on let let the girl grow and live okay she’s going to destroy the state of Indiana if she doesn’t come play for the fever I was laying in my bed watching that watching the whole thing happen and I hear them start chanting one more year I’m like

Shut up do not stop it do not be doing that and that strictly as somebody that lives Co probably the head coach that started that chance the head coach they they interviewed a lot of people listening to the head coach and I should definitely know her name I don’t but she um I

Apologize she’s a grad coach she said I had to change the way I coach because of Caitlyn Clark you know and I I don’t know what that meant but yeah I would assume that that’s the case and shout out to the Indiana Fever because they’re going to change the way they play way

They coach way they Market way they do everything whenever she comes here and uh at halftime they asked her you know like like how do you feel about breaking the record she said cool we need to play better defense and then she went in there like that was and then at the end

Of the game she said yeah this has all been very fun thank you we got a lot more games to win and then said let’s go and then walked off it’s like she’s the perfect leader yeah supp to win at all they need to win at all don’t you think

Have to yes that she has that she knows you know that is because I posted about her last night about the 23 points in one quarter whenever she had the whole world watching pretty much seeing if she’ll break this record she’s on Pace to score 92 points ah how many natties

That’s all anybody how many natties does she have how many natties does she have she hears that if she’s anything like what we think she’s like yeah she hears all of that and it’s like why not yowa Hawkeye’s going on a run to win a Natty

This yeah V Vinnie brings up a point he just wrote it down the board her nil is just so high that is why there is that chance where well that’s what yeah I’m sorry I didn’t mean interrupt but but that’s exactly right you actually told him to say exactly he interrupted you I

Was just saying what’s her nil deal versus her salary for the so we talked to Chad L Co Li Lio litico uh from the de Mo register uh yesterday very great conversation he’s covered her obviously since she’s got there even into high school cuz he’s been over there in Iowa

He said she’s got Gatorade that’ll transfer over she’s got Nike that’ll transfer over State Farm will transfer over so like she does have a bunch of deals I would assume she’s got Iowa deals as well they’ll stay but those deals and more yeah like if it’s if it’s

Car dealer in Iowa like indianap there’ll be there’ll be people here too yeah there’ll be Indianapolis they’re throwing everything at her though don’t you think they’re they’re whatever Collective whatever they’re doing they’re trying to put a package together to make it enticing to come back and if

She does play another year her record will never be touched I think they’re trying to get her to play quarterback too for Iowa football team i’ be good they would have won the big time this year if she play quack they would have scored more for sure absolutely she is

Weaponed bro I I am serious from a strictly competitive competitor standpoint sure like I I like watching greats be great I like learning why greats are great I like watching competitive people showcase their greatness like I en that’s why I enjoy sports so much that’s why sports are the

Greatest thing of all time like sports obviously unify people and bring people together that wouldn’t normally see eye to eye to cheer for a thing and give people hope and optimism and all the different emotions that you can experience through sports but also you watch like a meritocracy happen right in

Front of you you watch hard work pay off you watch greatness take place in front of you on display live in person not behind the scenes not in a boardroom not with like a chance to edit or anything like that it’s like live your work did

It work or did it not work and it’s like watching her it’s like hey it worked yeah it was all worth it it was all worth it Caitlyn keep on Going
