I don't have a reason to compare her with Clark. Using the "You are a winner because your team won" is silly. I guess using that logic CEH, Hardman, Nnadi etc.... are true winners while people like DT, Jefferson, Barry Sanders etc..... are major losers because the team they were on did not win. It's not that cut and dry in team sports.
Now let's compare her situation to Clark's, at least in college. Swap Clark and Reese and let me know if Reese takes Iowa to not one, but two championship game appearances.
When I asked why she didn't have more I was told it was because of SC and UCONN. The ring Reese did win was because her team didn't have to face SC because Iowa, led by Clark dispatched them. Even in that NC game, Clark was the best player on the floor. When Reese the "winner" was at Maryland no one had a clue who she was. She had to transfer to get on a better team because all her "winning" did nothing for Maryland.
Hopefully your comment wasn't serious, but if it was then Wow. [Reply]

Did "Ms privilege" end up in the hospital or something? Smh toughen up ffs :-) [Reply]

She still won. Clark choked In both finals. It is what it is buddy. [Reply]

Did you watch either game? She didn’t choke. She was the best player on the floor in both games. Where was Reese as a freshman, sophomore, or even as a senior? Reese wasn’t even the best player on her team the year they won it all. [Reply]

That’s absurd. College sports is not a level playing field, especially in women’s college bball where you have super teams who pump lots of money into recruiting. Patrick mahomes never even came close to sniffing a national championship. Neither did Steph curry. If she doesn’t win one in the pros a few years from now we can start to have that discussion.

It was an MVP type foul in the NBA. Clark and her flock of the pearl-clutchers made it seem like an attempted murder, though.
You really should have chose a better example.
Morris checked Jokic and your gif is of Jokic's retaliation, which he got ejected for. It's apples to oranges, and the NBA even actually made the right call. None of the above fits the WNBA situation.
It is humorous that the NBA showcased him rolling around on the floor for what seemed like forever, twice, and flooded the court with people while the WNBA basically said get the **** up and play on. If I remember right I think you can even see him saying "I'm ok" while flopping around on the floor like a fish to play it up. [Reply]

Lol committed dumb fouls against LSU to keep herself on the bench when her team needed her and in the Carolina game she got shut down by RAVEN Johnson and turned the ball over like crazy leading to vital buckets like the one before the half. But keep pretending buddy :-) [Reply]

How did Reese do in the championship game this year? [Reply]

She beat Clark? Or did her team beat Clark’s team? Why didn’t the winner of winners have more than one. Again back to my point that rings in team sports are not the only gauge of success. If that was the case then CEH is 100x the RB that Barry Sanders is and Hardman is the same thing in comparison to Randy Moss. [Reply]
